A NEVER-ENDING flow of information is the lot of most professionals. Whether it comes in the form of lawyers' cases, doctors' patients or even journalists' stories, this information naturally gets broken up into pieces that can be tackled one at a time during the course of a given day. In theory, a decision made when handling one of these pieces should not have much, if any, impact on similar but unrelated subsequent decisions. Yet Uri Simonsohn of the University of Pennsylvania and Francesca Gino at Harvard report in Psychological Science that this is not how things work out in practice.Dr Simonsohn and Dr Gino knew from studies done in other laboratories that people are, on the whole, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance this might seem like a strength that 1. grants the ability to make judgments which are unbiased by 2. external factors. 〔But in a world of quotas and limits—in other words, the world in which most professional people operate—the two researchers suspected that it was actually a weakness.在考试中命题老师删掉了 They speculated that an inability to consider the big 3. picture was leading decision-makers to be biased by the daily samples of information they were working with. 4. For example, they theorized that a judge 5. fearful of appearing too soft 7. on crime might be more likely to send someone to prison 8. if he had already sentenced five or six other defendants only to probation on that day. To 8. test this idea, they turned their attention to the university-admissions process. <Admissions officers interview hundreds of applicants every year, at a rate of 4% a day, and can offer entry to about 40% of them在试卷中删掉了>. In theory, the 9. success of an applicant should not depend on the few others 10. chosen randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr Simonsohn and Dr Gino suspected the truth was 11. otherwise.They studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews 12. conducted by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had 13. rated applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale 14. took numerous factors into consideration, including communication skills, personal drive, team-working ability and personal accomplishments. The scores from this rating were 15 then used in conjunction with an applicant's score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, a standardized exam which is 16. marked out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.Dr Simonsohn and Dr Gino discovered that their hunch was right. If the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees was 0.75 points or more higher than that of the one 17. before that, then the score for the next applicant would 18. drop by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to 19. undo the effects of such a decrease a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been 20. necessary.<最后一段命题老师没有选用>As for why people behave this way, Dr Simonsohnproposes that after accepting a number of strong candidates, interviewers might form the illogical expectation that a weaker candidate "is due". Alternatively, he suggests that interviewers may be engaging in mental accounting that simplifies the task of maintaining a given long-term acceptance rate, by trying to apply this rate to each daily group of candidates. Regardless of the reason, if this sort of thinking proves to have a similar effect on the judgments of those in other fields, such as law and medicine, it could be responsible for far worse things than the rejection of qualified business-school candidates.二、20XX考研英语阅读理解Part A 文章命题来源Text 1第一篇文章出自 2012年6月21日Business-week 上的一篇文章,文章有一定难度。

写一篇考试成绩好,心情样英语作文Yay, I Did It! My Amazing Test ScoresOh my gosh, you guys! I am sooooo excited and happy right now, I can hardly stand it! I just got my test scores back and I rocked those exams like a superstar! All my hard work, studying, and sacrifices paid off in a major way. Wait until you hear how well I did!First off, let me tell you about the math test. Math has always been my nemesis, that super tough subject that gives me headaches and stomach aches just thinking about it. All those numbers, equations, word problems - ugh, it makes my brain hurt! But this time, I was determined to conquer math once and for all. I studied my little tushy off, doing practice problems until I thought my pencil would catch on fire from overuse. My mom and dad quizzed me relentlessly on multiplication tables, long division, fractions, you name it. Even my baby sister got in on the act, holding up random numbers of fingers for me to quickly add up.Well, let me tell you, it all paid off! I got a 97% on the math test! I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw that A+ mark at the top of the test. The numbers actually started doing a littlehappy dance on the page, or maybe that was just me having a hallucination from intense math joy. Either way, I couldn't stop grinning so wide that I thought my face would get stuck that way permanently. Take that, math! I am the master now!Next up, the reading comprehension and writing test. Now this was more my forte, if I do say so myself. I'm a total book nerd and reading fiend. I can power through a massive novel in just a couple of days if I really get going. My parents have to force me to put my book down at the dinner table most nights. And when it comes to writing, I just let my imagination go wild and the words flow out of me like a roaring river of exciting thoughts and ideas. Metaphors and imagery and character descriptions, oh my!So yeah, I pretty much crushed the reading and writing sections of the test too. I got a perfect 100% score! Every single reading comprehension question answered flawlessly. Every essay and creative writing piece receiving top marks for creativity, organization, spelling, and grammar. My English teacher actually cried tears of joy when grading my test, she was so impressed by my literary genius. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but she did write "Excellent work!" at the top about thirty times in increasingly larger text sizes.Science and social studies were the other two biggie tests we had to take. I'll admit, I didn't prepare quite as hard for those. There's only so much time in a day, you know? And I may have gotten a little too distracted reading the latest dystopian young adult novel series. But you know what? I still managed to get A's on both of those tests too! Science - 92%, social studies - 94%. Apparently I've got some natural gifts in those subjects, or maybe all that reading for fun has filled my brain with tons of background knowledge. Who knows?So there you have it, my tale of academic triumph and success! Straight A's across the board, making me one of the top students in my grade. My parents were walking on air when they saw my scores, with giant proud smiles plastered on their faces. They kept hugging me and saying "We're so proud of you!" over and over again. I thought my dad might actually pass out from sheer fatherly pride and joy.My teachers have dubbed me a "rising star student" and the "shining example" for my classmates to follow. I've even been nominated for some big academic achievement awards! Can you imagine, little ol' me getting an award just for being smart and working hard? It's all so exciting and overwhelming!Of course, I tried to stay humble and not gloat too much about my awesome grades. A couple of my friends didn't do quite as well, and I didn't want to make them feel bad. I just smiled and played it cool when they asked me how I did, like "Oh you know, I got a few A's, no biggie." But inside, I was performing cartwheels and back flips and fist pumps of extreme happiness and accomplishment.The most amazing part of this whole thing is that good grade feeling. That indescribable mix of pride, joy, satisfaction, and motivation that comes from seeing the payoff of all your hard work. It's like being a world-class athlete and winning the Olympics, or an famous singer dropping the most fire album of the year. All your sacrifices, early morning study sessions, giving up video game time or TV time, it was all worth it to experience this incredible high.I'm still riding that wave of euphoria and accomplishment. I've been bouncing off the walls with this intense rush of positive energy. I have a self-confidence now that I've never quite felt before. Like I can go out and conquer the world, or at the very least, conquer the next hard test that comes my way. This feeling of success has me eyeing that straight A+ report card like the ultimate prize. Just thinking about how proud my parents wouldbe, and all the high fives I'd get from teachers, it's extremely motivating!So that's my big news, my shining accomplishment that has me over the moon happy. Who knew just getting some good test scores could make a kid feel this amazing? Granted, I'm a bit of an overachiever nerd. But I think any student would feel the same mix of joy, relief, and total userference after slaying some tough academic exams. It's liking clearing thebiggest video game battle after weeks of struggle. Only better, because this is real life!I already can't wait for the next round of tests to prove myself all over again. Wow my teachers and family, cement my reputation as a kid genius in the making. Most of all, I want to experience this incredible feeling again, this overwhelming sense of happiness and met expectations. Maybe I'll even aim for a few percentage points higher because, ya know, why not? The sky is the limit when you're soaring on good grade-induced bliss!So that's my story, the tale of an elementary student who worked hard, studied hard, and is now reaping the beautiful rewards of amazing test scores. Keep hitting the books, don't get discouraged, and you too could experience this mind-blowing natural high. The way I see it, there's no better feeling thanknowing you showed everyone what you're made of and left any doubts in the dust. Let's go get 'em, super students!。

英语对航空服务的重要性作文600字全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Importance of English for Flying in the SkiesHi there! My name is Alex and I'm 10 years old. Today, I want to tell you all about why learning English is super important if you want to work with airplanes and fly people around the world. It's a really cool job that lets you travel to awesome places!First of all, English is basically the universal language for aviation. Whether you're an airline pilot, flight attendant, air traffic controller or aircraft mechanic, you need to know English really well. That's because all the manuals, procedures and communication is done in English when it comes to airplanes and airports.Let me give you some examples. When pilots talk to air traffic control towers, they speak in English using special codes and phrases. They have to communicate very clearly in English about things like their flight path, altitude, speed and so on. If they don't understand each other properly in English, it could be really dangerous up there in the sky!Flight attendants also have to speak English fluently on the airplane. They use English to give safety instructions, help passengers find their seats, serve meals and drinks, and deal with any issues or emergencies that come up. Passengers come from all over the world, so English is the common language that flight attendants can use to communicate with everyone.The manuals and documents about how to operate and fix airplanes are written in English too. So aircraft mechanics who repair and maintain the planes need excellent English skills to read the instructions accurately. One tiny mistake could cause big problems with the aircraft! That's why the English training for these jobs is so intense.But knowing English for aviation isn't just about the technical stuff. It's also about providing great customer service to passengers. If you're a pilot or flight attendant, you need to be able to understand the passengers' needs and make announcements in clear English so everyone feels comfortable and welcomed. Using polite English phrases goes a long way!There are so many different accents and dialects of English around the world too. From British English to American English, Australian English to Indian English - aviation staff have to be able to understand all the varieties. That's why they get trainingto recognize different pronunciations and speech patterns in English.Being multilingual is awesome, but English is regarded as the global language of the skies. All pilots, controllers and aviation staff have to be certified with passing scores in standardized English tests like IELTS or TOEFL. It shows they can communicate effectively in English in any situation.So if I want to have a super cool job working with airplanes when I'm older, I know I need to study English really hard. It will let me understand all the manuals and procedures properly. It will let me communicate clearly and confidently with colleagues and passengers from everywhere. Who knows, maybe I'll even become a pilot one day and get to fly all over the world!English has become so important for aviation because planes are always crossing borders and oceans. We need one common language that everyone can use to stay safe up there. That's why I'm going to keep practicing my English skills - that way, I can soar through the skies when I grow up! Doesn't that sound like an amazing dream job? Let me know if you have any other questions!篇2The Awesome Power of English for Flying High!Have you ever wondered how pilots, flight attendants, and all the amazing people at airports can talk to each other even when they are from different countries? Well, the super cool answer is English! English is the language that allows people from all over the world to communicate and understand each other when it comes to airplanes and flying.Just imagine, if everyone spoke different languages, it would be so confusing! The pilot might say something in French, but the flight attendant from Japan wouldn't understand. Or the air traffic controller in Brazil might give instructions, but the pilot from Germany wouldn't know what they mean. That could lead to some really big messes and even dangerous situations! Yikes!But thanks to English, everyone in the airline industry can use the same language to share important information clearly. Whether you're a pilot, flight attendant, mechanic, or air traffic controller, if you know English, you can communicate with your colleagues from any other country. It's like having a special secret code that everyone understands!English is so incredibly useful for airline workers because it helps them do their jobs safely and efficiently. For example, pilots need to understand weather reports, flight plans, andinstructions from air traffic control perfectly. Any misunderstanding could be really risky! By using English, pilots can get all the information they need accurately.Flight attendants also rely on English to give safety instructions, help passengers, and coordinate with the pilots and other crew members. Can you imagine how confusing it would be if they had to use a different language for every group of passengers? Thanks to English, flight attendants can communicate smoothly with everyone on board.Even the ground crew at airports, like the people who load and unload bags, refuel planes, or do maintenance work, need to understand English. They might be given instructions or have to read manuals and reports in English. By knowing this super language, they can do their jobs properly and keep planes running smoothly.But English isn't just important for the airline workers themselves. It's also crucial for passengers! When you're at an airport, pretty much all the signs, announcements, and information screens are in English. That's because English is the common language that people from all over the world can understand. Whether you're from China, Brazil, France, oranywhere else, if you know English, you can easily find your way around airports and understand what's going on.So you see, English is like the magical glue that holds the entire airline industry together! It allows people from different countries and cultures to communicate clearly and work as a team to get planes safely from one place to another. Pretty cool, right?The next time you're at an airport or on a plane, pay attention to how much English you hear and see being used. You'll realize just how important and powerful this amazing language is for making air travel possible. Who knows, maybe you'll even feel inspired to learn English yourself so you can be a part of the awesome aviation world one day!篇3The Importance of English for Aviation ServicesHave you ever been on a plane before? I took my first flight last summer when my family went on vacation to Hawaii. It was so exciting! As we got on the big airplane, the flight attendants greeted us with warm smiles. "Welcome aboard!" they said in perfect English. From that moment, I realized how important it is for everyone involved in aviation to know English really well.On the flight, all the announcements and safety instructions were given in English. The pilots used English to communicate with air traffic control and other pilots. The flight attendants spoke English to explain the emergency procedures and serve our meals. Even the signs and magazines on the plane were in English. If the pilots, attendants and ground crew didn't understand English properly, it could be really dangerous!English is considered the global language of aviation. That means everyone around the world uses English to communicate when it comes to airplanes and airports. This makes total sense when you think about how many different countries and languages are involved in air travel. Imagine if every pilot, air traffic controller and mechanic spoke a different language - it would be complete chaos! That's why English has become the common language that allows everyone to understand each other clearly.Using English for all aviation communications is crucial for safety reasons. Pilots need to give extremely precise instructions and relay complex information. Air traffic controllers need to direct many aircraft at the same time without any miscommunication. And airplane mechanics absolutely have to understand all the technical manuals and instructions in English.One small misunderstanding could lead to a terrible accident. That's why the aviation industry is so strict about requiring excellent English proficiency.Additionally, English makes travel much easier and more convenient for passengers like us. When you arrive at an airport anywhere in the world, the signs, announcements, and instructions are all in English. The airplane staff can communicate with you about things like boarding, baggage, delays, and emergencies. You can read the safety cards, instructions, and entertainment options because they use English. Traveling would be incredibly confusing and stressful if English wasn't the common language!I think it's amazing that English allows people from Taiwan, Brazil, Egypt, and anywhere else to all fly together safely on the same plane. The pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics, flight attendants, and airport staff are all using English to make sure everyone arrives safely at their destination. No matter what country you're from or what language you speak at home, English is what allows the aviation industry to function. It lets people from all over the world communicate clearly.After my first flight, I have a new appreciation for why English is so important, especially for aviation. On our next familytrip, I'll pay closer attention to how English is used for everything from checking in, to boarding, to arrival. And I'll remember that English helps make air travel safe and efficient for everyone. Maybe I'll even try telling the flight attendants "Thank you" in my best English on our next flight!篇4The Importance of English for Flying HighHave you ever wondered how pilots and air traffic controllers from different countries are able to communicate with each other? The answer is English! English is the common language used in aviation all around the world. Whether you're flying from New York to Tokyo or from Cairo to Sydney, everyone involved in making that flight happen needs to speak and understand English. Let me explain why English is so important for aviation services.First of all, can you imagine the chaos that would happen if every pilot spoke a different language? How would they communicate with air traffic control towers in other countries? How would they understand important information like weather reports, runway conditions, and flight instructions? It would belike trying to put together a giant jigsaw puzzle with pieces that don't fit together. Everything would be a jumbled mess!That's why back in the 1940s, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) decided that English should become the universal language of aviation. This allowed pilots, air traffic controllers, ground crews, and everyone else working in aviation to speak the same language. It made flying much safer and more efficient.Imagine you're a pilot getting ready to fly from London to Delhi. Even though you're English and the air traffic controllers in India speak Hindi, you can both communicate easily in English. The controllers in London give you instructions in English for takeoff. As you fly over countries like Germany, Turkey, and Pakistan, you receive updates about your flight path, altitude, and speed–all in English. The controllers in Delhi then guide you for landing, again using English. Everyone is on the same page thanks to a shared language.But English isn't just useful when flying between different countries. It also helps people from the same country communicate better. For example, if there is an American pilot and an American air traffic controller, they will still use English instead of their local dialect or slang. This reduces any chance ofmisunderstanding, which is really important when operating a huge plane carrying hundreds of people!Using English also allows aviation professionals to get trained and certified by following the same standards from the ICAO. All of the manuals, rules, and procedures they study are written in English. This common language ensures that everyone has been taught the same way to make flying as safe as possible.I find it simply amazing that English has become the language that connects everyone working in the aviation industry across the globe. From a flight attendant on a plane leaving Seoul to the engineer doing maintenance on a jet in Rio de Janeiro, English allows them to communicate clearly. It makes flying safer and more efficient than ever before.The next time you're on a plane, listen closely as the pilots and air traffic controllers speak English to coordinate everything from pushback to takeoff, landing, taxiing, and arrival at the gate. That shared language is what keeps everyone understands each other perfectly. English allows the amazing journey of air travel to run smoothly.So while learning English can be difficult, it is so incredibly important, especially for jobs in aviation. By speaking a common tongue, everyone involved in getting planes safely from oneplace to another can work as one unified team. English helps make aviation a well-oiled, world-spanning machine. For anyone who dreams of working in the aviation field some day, mastering English will be the key to really allowing their career to take flight.篇5The Importance of English for Flying HighHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about why learning English is super important if you want to work with airplanes someday. It's a really exciting job that lets you travel the world and meet people from everywhere. But to do it safely, you have to be able to communicate clearly in English no matter what. Let me explain why!First of all, English is what's called the "lingua franca" of aviation. That's a fancy way of saying it's the common language that pilots and air traffic controllers use to understand each other. Can you imagine how dangerous it would be if they couldn't? The pilot might say "I'm turning left" but the controller thinks they said "I'm turning right"? That could cause a really bad accident! By using English, everyone is on the same page.Even the aviation codes and phrases have to be in English. You'll hear pilots say things like "roger" for "I received your message" or "niner" for the number 9. These codes make sure there's no mix-up about what was communicated. Pilots from Japan talking to controllers in Brazil? No problem when they use English!Another big reason English matters is because of all the manuals, regulations, and instructions that come with being a pilot or working at an airport. These crucial documents that tell you how to operate and fix the planes are pretty much all written in English. If you can't read the safety guidelines, that's a huge problem! You could make a terrible mistake. Knowing English lets you learn the right procedures.But ensuring safe air travel isn't the only use for English in aviation. What about guests on the plane? As a flight attendant, you'll be serving people from every corner of the globe. English is again that common language to give information, answer questions, and make announcements. You want to understand if someone needs something or has an emergency! Plus, those pre-flight safety demos are way easier when done in a language the majority understands.For pilots, being fluent in English is a job requirement. They constantly have to communicate with air traffic control and other crew members. Missing an instruction could be catastrophic when flying at 30,000 feet! Even something small like asking for clearance to take off has to be done precisely in English. The cockpit voices you hear with pilots and co-pilots? That's all English being spoken.Airplane manufacturers and mechanics have to use English too when installing or repairing parts. The companies that make planes write their documentation in English. So if you're a mechanic working on a new engine, you better know English well to follow the instructions properly. One missed step could have terrible consequences.As you can see, English is absolutely vital for anything involving airplanes and air travel. From pilots, to flight attendants, to air traffic controllers, to ground crew - they all use English to communicate safely and get passengers where they need to go. It's the common language that connects the whole aviation industry across countries.I don't know about you, but I definitely want every single person involved when I'm flying to understand each other perfectly! No mistakes, no miscommunications. That's why I'mworking super hard on learning English. Along with being fascinating, the aviation world wouldn't work without it. Maybe I'll be a pilot shooting the air streams one day, or translating those manuals into other languages. As long as I know English, the sky's the limit! Get it? Sky's the limit? Ah, I crack myself up sometimes.Anyway, that's my take on why English is so invaluable for aviation. Keep studying hard, and who knows? You might just have a future among the clouds too! Wouldn't that becloud-nine? Okay okay, I'll stop with the plane puns now. Over and out!篇6The Importance of English for Flying HighHi there! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about why English is so important for people who work in aviation services like pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers. Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for takeoff!Have you ever been on a plane before? I have, and let me tell you, it's really cool up there in the clouds! But have you ever thought about how the pilots and other workers communicatewith each other and with people on the ground? Well, they use English as the common language of aviation all over the world.English is what we call a "lingua franca" for aviation. That's a fancy term that means it's a common language that people who don't share a native language use to communicate. Can you imagine if every pilot, air traffic controller, and ground crew only spoke their own native language? It would be total chaos up there in the skies! Planes could crash into each other, runways would be a mess, and flying would be really unsafe.But because almost everyone in aviation learns English, they can all understand each other clearly. The pilots can talk to air traffic control towers anywhere in the world using English. Flight attendants can give safety instructions in English that passengers from any country can understand. And ground crews at airports across the globe communicate easily using English phrases and aviation codes.Learning English for aviation is really important and not easy at all. These workers have to study hard and know very specific vocabulary for flying planes, communicating with control towers, dealing with emergencies, and so much more. They can't just speak casual conversational English. It's like they have to learn a whole new language just for their aviation jobs!For example, did you know that pilots use a special code called "aviator's alphabet" when communicating things like flight numbers, airport codes, and other crucial information? Instead of saying letters normally, they say things like "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie" and so on. This prevents any confusion from similar sounding letters. Air traffic controllers also use lots of specialised phrases like "clear for takeoff," "maintain current heading," and other terms you probably wouldn't use in normal conversation. It's like they're speaking Aviation English!I think it's really cool that English allows people from all over the world to understand each other when they're working in aviation. Whether you're a pilot from Brazil, an air traffic controller from Japan, or a flight attendant from Kenya, you all learn the same Aviation English to keep passengers safe in the skies. It unites people from so many diverse cultures and backgrounds.The next time you're soaring among the clouds, listen closely. You might just hear the pilots and air traffic controllers speaking that special Aviation English that allows safe travel for everyone! English really does help people defy gravity and fly high. I hope you've enjoyed learning about this important use of the Englishlanguage. Thanks for flying Air Emma's Essay Airlines! We've now arrived at our final destination.。

邀请别人参赛创意比赛的英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hey everyone! I'm so pumped to tell you all about this awesome creative competition our school is hosting. It's going to be an epic battle of imagination, ingenuity, and straight-up artistic genius!I know what you're thinking - another lame contest where we're all supposed to make dioramas about photosynthesis or write haikus about the lifecycle of butterflies. But trust me, this one is going to be totally different and insanely cool. The theme is "Remix Reality" and the challenge is to take something familiar from everyday life and reimagine it in the wildest, most creative way possible.So maybe you'll design a bike that also functions as a smoothie blender. Or invent a smartphone case that can transform into a mini-drone for taking selfies from the sky. Or create a pair of sneakers with built-in springs that let you jump over cars! The possibilities are endless when you combine different objects and ideas that don't normally go together.The best part is, you can enter whatever kind of project you want - an invention, a sculpture, a painting, a short film, even a piece of writing or music. As long as it fits the remix theme and shows off your unique creative vision, you're in! First prize is 500 cold hard cash, but there will also be other great awards for the most innovative, funniest, and best use of mixed media entries.I don't know about you, but I'm already brimming with ideas. Like, what if I made a jacket where the sleeves could detach and fold into little remote-controlled rocket drones? Or designed a lamp that used living plants as the bulbs? With a concept as open-ended as "Remix Reality," my brain is exploding with fun mash-ups just waiting to be born.Of course, it's not going to be easy. This is a chance for all of us artistic visionaries to go big and really push the boundaries. The judges are going to be looking for true out-of-the-box thinking and amazing execution. Half-baked ideas or sloppy projects need not apply.Which is why I'm putting together a crew to help make my concept the most epic masterpiece this school has ever seen. I'll need dedicated people to help with everything from design and construction to filming and editing. If you've got skills in any ofthose areas, or just a burning desire to be part of something insanely creative, come find me at lunch!For everyone else planning to enter on their own, my advice is to start brainstorming and sketching out those wild ideas now. Talk it over with friends and family to get more perspectives. Do your research on any materials, tools or techniques you might need to pull it off. This is our chance to show the world what we're made of, creatively speaking, so you've got to bring your A-game!And don't worry if your first fifty ideas are duds - that's all part of the creative process. Keep doubting those doubts and pushing past the boundaries of what you thought was possible. The most genius remixes come from combining things that no one else would ever think to put together.At the same time, don't get too caught up in making it profound or trying to make some big philosophical statement. This is all about having fun, using your imagination, and seeing how amazingly weird and wonderful you can get. Laughter and delight are just as important as mind-blowing originality.Finally, while we all want to win, remember that the real prize is getting to flex our creative muscles and spend quality time dreaming up our own remixed reality. Competitions like thisdon't come around every day, so we've got to make the most of this opportunity to tap into our inner artists and makers.Who's with me? Let's get out there and remix the heck out of reality! I can't wait to see what our delightfully twisted minds come up with. Whatever it is, I know it's going to be fresh, mind-bending, and loaded with pure creative genius.The gauntlet has been thrown down, my friends. Now it's time to reach deep, dig out those wildest ideas, and get to remixing! See you at the competition!篇2Hey everyone!
