Silence is the Best Response (中英文)沉默是最好的回答It seems most times the problem we have with ourselves as humans is the problem of saying what is not yet ready to be put forth. We all seem to have this problem, and most times there are countless reasons why we do this. To make people know that we are somebody who also has his own worth.似乎大多数时候,我们人类最大的问题就是还没想清楚,就把话说出口。
好像我们每个人都有这个问题,通常来说,我们这样做,有很多原因。
我们想让别人知道我们的价值。
We try to make ourselves look big, try to talk others down, and sometimes gain some respect aggressively, some godlike reverence to ourselves.我们想让自己看起来很棒,我们想说服别人,我们想强迫别人尊重我们、崇拜我们。
We're ready to say everything that can be said to have a stand on a position that is of worth, and make people seeus as important too. And in the process, we say more thanwe actually should.只要有机会说话,我们就会说话,表明自己的正确态度,让别人觉得我们很重要。
中考英语时文阅读有了这个AI“吵架”想输都难Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn't working? Of course,your computer can't“shout” back. But AI researchers have been working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates(辩论) with humans.IBM scientists recently published a paper in Nature about their new AI system—Project Debater.It can debate with people in front of a live audience(观众).After listening to arguments from its opponent(对手),the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. And then it looks for ideas that can support its own argument.Testing on the system began in 2019. when it debated with Harish Natarajan. a professional debater who holds the world record for the most debate competition victories.The topic was about subsidizing preschool(资助幼儿园)—and Project Debater argued to support this idea. Although Project Debater lost the debate in the end.the audience said it performed very well. Interestingly,58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic—only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan.According to Scientific American, results show that the system is able to form logical statements(有逻辑的陈述).However,winning a debate is never the researchers' goal. Their goal is to help humans make better decisions according to Ranit Aharanoy manager of the Project Debater team.“It can debate both sides, so it can very quickly help you understand both sides of the problem,thus you can have a wider view of the problem and make a more thoughtful(深思熟虑的)decision."Aharanoy said.1.How does Project Debater work?① It forms ideas that can support its own argument.② It listens to its opponent's arguments.③ It searches online articles.④ It debates with its opponent.A.①②③④B.②③①④C.③②①④D.④②①③2. In the debate with Harish Natarajan,Project Debater____.A.argued to support subsidizing preschoolB. won the debate in the endC. set a world debating recordD. often argued against itself3. What did the audience think of the debate between Natarajan and Project Debater?A.One-fifth thought Project Debater wouldn't win the debate.B.

It can not only correct my errors, I told him, but also give me different regional expressions in the language, including Mexican Spanish, Argentinian Spanish, and Spanglish. And, unlike when I am chatting with him on WhatsApp, I do not have to factor in time zone differences.My friend seemed less excited. “So, you’ve replaced me?” he joked. I haven’t, of course. The convenience and width of an AI chatbot can’t compete with the pleasures of chatting with someone whose personality I have learned over the course of years.It is, however, a useful supplement.LangAI, one specific language-learning chatbot, was launched in March by Federico Ruiz Cassarino. He drew on his own experiences of learning English after moving from Uruguay to Britain.Many people get self-conscious about making mistakes in a language they barely speak, even to a tutor, Ruiz Cassarino notes. But a chatbot won’t judge you. And the new wave of generative AI is so advanced that rather than stick to boring pre-scripted(照本宣科的)role-plays, “you can speak about things that are interesting to you, which makes it feel like not as much of a chore to learn.” To this end, the team customized LangAI’s interface to match users’ vocabulary levels, added the ability to make corrections during a conversation, and enabled the conversion of speech to text.AI-powered language learning apps have weaknesses. Users are reporting that chatbots are quite competent in widely spoken European languages, but the quality substantially worsens for languages that are less represented online or that have different writing systems. Even in common languages, the chatbots make errors, sometimes inventing words. This may not bother advanced learners much, but with these chatbots delivering text so confidently, it would be easy for a relatively new learner to take what they say as correct.4.What advantages does AI have over my friend?A.Fix every error in conversations.B.Display differences in languages.C.Provide enjoyable conversations.D.Offer round-the-clock assistance.5.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The course of years.B.Practices on LangAI.C.Chats on WhatsApp.D.The pleasures of chatting.6.Why is Cassarino’s language learning experience mentioned?A.To highlight the inspiration behind LangAI’s creation.B.To illustrate the challenges faced by language learners.C.To compare the differences between different languages.D.To show LangAI’s emphasis on personalized experiences7.What can LangAI do to support language learners?A.Scoring users’ performance in conversations.B.Generating speech according to the given text.C.Creating new words by the rules of word formation.D.Providing dialogues based on users’ language proficiency.The corn eaten around the world today originated in Mexico nearly 10,000 years ago. From the ancient rituals of the Mayans to modern-day dishes like tortillas, corn is central to culture, cuisine, and identity in this region.To protect this heritage, Mexico is fighting to phase out genetically modified (GM) U. S. — grow n corn this year. The Mexican government claims that banning GM corn will protect the country’s native corn varieties. Yet the announcement aroused strong objections from the U. S., whose largest annual customer for GM corn is often Mexico. The U. S. claims that the GM ban breaks the trade agreement between the two countries.Mexico insists that modified seeds threaten Mexico’s agricultural traditions and cultural identity. In the U. S., most corn is grown with seed produced by large companies, which create just a handful of genetically identical corn varieties grown at mass scale. In Mexico, however, seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms, which facilitates more diversity and allows farmers to grow corn that ranges widely in color and size.“Traditional varieties maintain a substantial amount of genetic diversity,” says JeffreyRoss-Ibarra, an ecologist at the University of California, but he doesn’t think banning GM corn will help preserve these varieties, and points to adec line in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn. “If traditional farmers abandon subsistence farming, we’re potentially losing diversity whether that crop is GM or traditionally bred, so economic policy has a much bigger impact on the risk of corn diversity than an adoption of GM corn.” Since Mexico began importing U. S. corn, small-scale farms have been declining.Mauricio Bellon, a research professor at the Swett Center for Sustainable Foods Systems, believes that while threatened species are often stored in gene banks, the relationship between a farmer and their crop plays a crucial conservation role. “Evolution at scale continues with corn in Mexico through millions of farmers,” says him.8.Why is Mexico prohibiting GM corn?A.To safeguard its own types of corn.B.To reduce the cost of importing corn.C.To get rid of the dependence on the US.D.To stop the decrease of small-scale farms. 9.What is different in corn production practices between the US and Mexico from paragraph 3?A.The technology of farming.B.The source of corn seeds.C.The ownership of farmland.D.The relationship between farmers. 10.What’s Jefferey’s attitude toward the Mexican government’s claim?A.Approval.B.Concerned.C.Critical.D.Tolerant. 11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.GM corn has negative effects on traditional farms.B.Endangered species are well preserved in gene banks.C.Species diversity contributes to the evolution of speciesD.Traditional farming practices help in preserving corn varieties.The colorful anemonefish (海葵鱼), also known as clownfish, possesses a cheerful and carefree image among humans. However, their actual behavior might not always align with the family-friendly portrayal seen in a Pixar film. They can aggressively defend their territory against other anemonefish they perceive as threats.To investigate how these fish identify group members, a team from Japan conducted two experiments with lab-raised common clownfish that had never encountered any other species.In the first experiment, researchers introduced different species of anemonefish, distinguishable by the number of white bars on their bodies, into a tank in small cases. They observed that the common clownfish were particularly hostile toward members of their own species that displayed three white bars. These fish fought 80 percent of their specific-targeted fish for up to three seconds. In contrast, invaders from other species, like the orange skunk clownfish with no side bars and a white line along its back, were barely attacked. The two-barred Clarke’s clownfish and three-barred saddleback clownfish were “mildly bullied”, according to the team.During the second experiment, the researchers exposed a colony of clownfish to various plastic discs. The discs were painted with anemonefish coloration and measured the level of aggression towards these artificial models. Similar to reactions to live fish, models with two bars were less frequently attacked, and those without any bars saw the least aggression. According to study co-author and ecologist Kina Hayashi, the findings “suggest that clownfish is capable of counting the number of bars to recognize the species of the invader”.The team also found that a rigid hierarchy (社会等级) within clownfish colonies determines which specific fish attack the invader. Earlier studies have shown that the social position of the clownfish is determined by very slight differences in size. This study used fish that had not matured and were in a lab setting, but the team still observed the same size-based hierarchy. The largest clownfish led the charge against the invader.12.What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in the third paragraph?A.Unfriendly.B.Tolerant.C.Patient.D.Sympathetic. 13.How is the study conducted?A.By introducing a new concept.B.By comparing different clownfish.C.By observing clownfish’ behaviors.D.By analyzing statistics of previous studies. 14.What is the finding of the two experiments?A.Clownfish can’t reach maturity in a lab setting.B.Skunk clownfish is the most modest clownfish.C.The social position of a clownfish depends on its size.D.Clownfish identify threats by the number of vertical bars.15.Which is the best title of the passage?A.Barred and Bullied: Attacks from Anemonefish.B.Clownfish and Conflicts: Strict Social Hierarchies.C.Beyond the Screen: The identification of Clownfish.D.From Lab to Tank: Aggression Among Anemonefish.I am always confused when reading statements like “Princeton University is the number one college in the United States.” Are those who attend Princeton inherently brighter than their peers? 16 Or is Princeton the best across all academic subjects overall?I didn’t care about college rankings for years until I recently saw something different. This past October, Shanghai Ranking Consultancy unveiled the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2023, which assesses universities worldwide across 55 subjects in five disciplines. 17 And this makes it easier for prospective students to choose the best college for their specific subject.18 When I delved deeper into the methodology behind these rankings, I discovereda complex web of criteria, including academic reputation, research output, and international collaboration. 19 However, they do not capture the entirety of the college experience. Factors like campus culture, extracurricular opportunities, and faculty-student interactions can profoundly shape your undergraduate years, yet they often remain unquantifiable in ranking systems.20 What may be the ideal environment for one student pursuing engineering might not suit another studying literature. It’s crucial to consider your personal preferences, career aspirations, and learning style when evaluating potential colleges. While prestigious universities may offer unparalleled resources and networking opportunities, a smaller, lesser-known college might provide a more nurturing and supportive environment for your individual growth and development. Ultimately, the best college for you is the one that aligns with your values, ambitions, and vision for the future.A.The value of a university education goes beyond its ranking.B.Is Princeton the most beautiful campus all around the world?C.Is Princeton able to produce more geniuses upon graduation?D.That being said, how much weight should be given to these rankings?E.Actually, the concept of a “best” college is subjective and context-dependent.F.These measures provide valuable insights into the academic strength of universities.G.It is said to employ a more in-depth approach to evaluate the performance of universities.二、完形填空In the heart of Gaza, a 15-year-old Palestinian teen, Hussam Al-Attar, has become a beacon of hope.

一分钟的体验英语作文不少于六百字全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1A Minute of Revelation: My Life-Changing English EpiphanyYou know that feeling when you're just kind of drifting through life, doing the same old things day after day without really thinking about it? That was me with English class for the longest time. I'd been taking English since kindergarten, spending hours upon hours conjugating verbs, drilling vocabulary words, and trying to decipher the labyrinth of grammar rules. Yet for years, it always felt like this weird academic exercise completely divorced from real life.Then one day, it all clicked into place in a single, surreal minute. It was just another typical English lesson, or so I thought. We were practicing conversational skills, taking turns making small talk as a warm-up exercise. When it was my turn, I launched into the usual script about the weather, weekend plans, that sort of thing. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was saying. My mouth was on autopilot, mumbling the same canned phrases I had used a million times before.That's when something utterly bizarre happened. Suddenly, I realized that I understood every single word the teacher said in her response. It was like a curtain had been pulled back. The words didn't feel like an indecipherable jumble anymore. They flowed together into coherent meanings, almost as naturally as my native language. I could follow the conversation without laboring to translate each fragmented utterance one-by-one in my head.In that instant, English transformed from an academic subject into a living, breathing form of communication right before my eyes. What had previously been a strange cipher became a vast new mode of expression, a window into understanding different cultures and perspectives. Worlds of literature, media, and human interaction that had been closed off to me were now accessible.I was enthralled, electrified by this newfound power of comprehension. It was like somebody had flipped a switch, and suddenly the light bulb controlling my English ability had flickered on after years of darkness. Without even thinking about it, I began responding to the teacher's statements fluidly, no longer just regurgitating memorized sentences but constructingmy own original thoughts and synthesizing new vocabulary on the fly.The minute stretched into an eternity as my mind raced at lightspeed, making kaleidoscopic new neural connections. Words became malleable blocks of meaning to combine and reshape into infinite permutations, no longer just static vocabulary entries to mindlessly churn out on a test. I could sense my language faculty evolving in real-time, bootstrapping itself into higher and higher levels of sophistication.When the minute finally ended, I felt like I had awoken from a dream-state, blinking in the harsh classroom lighting. My peers were looking at me like I had spontaneously started speaking in tongues. In a way, I had been quite literally re-born into a new linguistic reality, shrugging off my monolingual shackles like moulted skin.That minute was a dividing line bifurcating my life into a "before" and "after." From then on, my relationship to English was fundamentally transformed. What had previously been an academic chore became a vibrant passion, even an obsession. I devoured books, movies, every type of English media I could get my hands on in an endless quest to deepen my fluency. Finally clicking into that higher level of comprehension had been like agateway drug, making me ravenous to push my skills even further.I began speaking, reading, and writing English constantly, sometimes even conversing with myself just for the practice. My classmates and teachers looked on with mixture of amusement and bewilderment as I went through my English blossoming. They had learned the language the same way and achieved competency without such a dramatic awakening. To them, I must have seemed like a late bloomerwho had suddenly undergone a linguistic metamorphosis practically overnight.Looking back now as a truly fluent, confident English speaker, I can scarcely believe how I used to struggle with what is now second nature. That one transformative minute steadily compounded into years of accumulated English mastery through continued immersion and effort. Sometimes I'm struck by a tinge of melancholy, mourning all of the wasted years I spent trapped in that crude, alienated state of language cacoon before awakening into the verdant meadow of fluency.More than anything though, I feel immensely grateful for that ultra-condensed epiphany that reset the entire trajectory of my life. In the grand scheme of things, one minute is such an infinitesimally tiny fraction of time, a blip so fleeting as to bealmost immeasurable. And yet, a single transcendent minute of universal comprehension had the power to re-shape my entire existence, to blossom the seeds of who I am today - someone who views English as more than just a language, but an entire civilizational framework for interpreting and making sense of the world.篇2A Minute's Experience in English ClassWhew, English class again! I swear Mr. Jenkins loves torturing us with these mind-numbing grammar exercises and dull reading passages. Don't get me wrong, I know English is important for getting into a good college and all that, but come on! When are we ever going to use the present perfect continuous tense in real life?I sluggishly make my way to my usual desk in the back row, praying that today's lesson will be a reprieve from the tedium. Maybe we'll watch a movie or something? Hah, yeah right. This is Mr. Jenkins we're talking about - the guy gets violent nosebleeds if he strays even an inch away from the curriculum.The classroom gradually fills up with the rest of my classmates, some still bleary-eyed from staying up too lategaming or binging shows. The bell rings shrilly, its harsh tones jolting a few students awake from their desks. Like clockwork, Mr. Jenkins strides in dressed in his signature outdated suit and tie combination that makes him look like a browbeaten 1950s office clerk."Good morning, class," he announces in that nasally drone that makes my skin crawl. A few half-hearted mumbles respond. He launches right into the day's lesson without even waiting for everyone to settle in. Ugh, so much for my wishful thinking about the movie.I try my best to focus as he drones on and on about subordinating conjunctions and parallel structure and whatever else. But my mind keeps wandering. I gaze out the window and daydream about being outdoors, feeling the warm sunshine and gentle breeze instead of being cooped up in this stuffy classroom.Suddenly, a sharp voice shatters my reverie. "Miss Anderson! Perhaps you could explain the proper use of the subjunctive mood that I was just describing?"Crap. I didn't catch a single word he said. My palms start sweating as two dozen pairs of eyes bore into me, waiting for my inevitable embarrassment."Uhh...the subjunctive what now?" I stammer out lamely. A few snickers ripple through the class. Mr. Jenkins looks supremely unimpressed."Clearly you haven't been paying attention," he chides, making a disapproving tsk sound. "Let this be a lesson to all of you - you must stay focused and engaged if you want to truly master the English language."My face burns hot with shame and resentment. This guy just doesn't get it. How can he expect us to hang on his every word when he makes this class more boring than watching beige paint dry?I make a show of dutifully taking notes to avoid any more callouts, but truthfully, I've already checked out. The subjunctive mood? Whatever. I'll just cram that tonight before the quiz like I always do.The minutes drag interminably as Mr. Jenkins prattles on. I find myself zoning out again, idly watching the second hand of the clock make its lap around the circle. Finally, mercifully, the bell rings again, releasing us from this prison of sentence diagramming.I bolt out of there like a racehorse from the gate, desperate to put as much distance as possible between me and this lame class. As I navigate the swarm of students flooding the hallway, I make a personal vow - if I somehow survive the next three years of high school English without flunking out, I'm never putting myself through that mind-numbing torture again. No way, no how.Math, science, history, philosophy - I'll take those any day of the week. But English class has to be one of the cruelest, most unusual punishments the education system has devised. Yep, it's official - I absolutely, irrevocably HATE English class!篇3A One-Minute English ExperienceAs an international student studying in an English-speaking country, every minute of my day is a profound English experience. From the moment I wake up until I go to bed at night, the English language surrounds me, challenges me, and ultimately empowers me. However, there was one particular minute that stood out as a transformative moment in my journey to mastering this beautiful yet complex language.It was a crisp autumn morning, and I was hurrying across the bustling campus to my morning lecture. The familiar scents of freshly brewed coffee and damp leaves filled the air, mingling with the chatter of students rushing to their respective classes. As I approached the lecture hall, I found myself caught in a sea of fellow learners, all eagerly anticipating the day's lesson.Amidst the chaos, I overheard a conversation between two students walking ahead of me. Their words flowed with a natural cadence, each syllable articulated with precision and ease. I strained to catch every word, my mind racing to decipher the intricate web of idioms and colloquialisms that seemed to weave effortlessly into their dialogue.In that single minute, I experienced a myriad of emotions –bewilderment at the rapidity of their speech, frustration at my inability to comprehend every nuance, and a burning determination to one day achieve such fluency. It was a humbling realization that despite years of studying the English language, there was still so much to learn, so many layers to unravel.As I reflected on that brief yet profound encounter, I realized that the true essence of language lies not merely in its grammar rules or vocabulary lists, but in the intricate tapestry of culturalnuances, idioms, and expressions that give it life. It was a reminder that mastering a language is not just about memorizing words, but about immersing oneself in the culture, the people, and the lived experiences that shape its evolution.From that moment on, I made a conscious effort to embrace every opportunity to engage with the English language in its purest form. I sought out conversations with native speakers, eagerly absorbing the cadences and rhythms of their speech. I delved into literature, savoring the rich tapestry of metaphors and allegories that painted vivid pictures in my mind. I even found myself drawn to the subtleties of English humor, marveling at the clever wordplay and cultural references that had once eluded my understanding.Each day brought new challenges, new idioms to decipher, and new expressions to commit to memory. But with every stumble, every moment of confusion, I grew stronger, more resilient, and more determined to conquer this linguistic mountain.As the semesters passed, I began to notice a shift within myself. The once-daunting task of conversing in English became more natural, more fluid. Words that had once felt foreign on mytongue now flowed effortlessly, interwoven with the cultural nuances that breathed life into the language.Looking back on that pivotal minute, I realize that it was a catalyst for personal growth, a moment that ignited a fire within me to truly embrace the English language in all its richness and complexity. It was a reminder that language is not merely a tool for communication, but a gateway to understanding the depths of human experience, culture, and perspective.In the grand scheme of my linguistic journey, that single minute may seem insignificant. But for me, it was a pivotal turning point, a moment that crystallized my determination to become not just a proficient speaker, but a true master of the English language. It was a minute that forever transformed the way I perceived language, culture, and the intricate tapestry that binds them together.。
英语作文推荐一部喜欢的影片给笔友全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hey there pen pal! How's it going? I'm writing to you today to recommend one of my all-time favorite movies. It's a film that has really stuck with me ever since I first watched it, and I think you'd absolutely love it too. Get ready, because I'm about to gush over this cinematic masterpiece!The movie I want to rave about is "The Shawshank Redemption" from 1994. I know, I know, it's an older film. But trust me, it's a timeless classic that everyone needs to experience. The story follows Andy Dufresne, a banker who is wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. He's sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at the brutal Shawshank State Penitentiary.From the moment Andy steps foot in that prison, you can't help but root for him. He's such an intelligent, resilient, and fundamentally good person trapped in a living hell on earth. Tim Robbins, who plays Andy, gives an absolutely phenomenal performance. His quiet strength and unbreakable will topersevere in the face of unimaginable injustice and hardship is nothing short of inspiring.And then there's the one and only Morgan Freeman as Ellis "Red" Redding. His voiceover narration and wisdom-filled musings are the heartbeat of the film. The way Red and Andy's friendship evolves over the decades they're incarcerated together is so beautifully portrayed. Despite being surrounded by misery, violence, and corruption, their bond gives you hope that the human spirit cannot be crushed, no matter the circumstances.I don't want to give away too much of the plot because the twists and turns of this movie are best experienced yourself. But I can guarantee you'll be on the edge of your seat during the genius scenes of Andy's bid for freedom. His elaborate schemes to expose the prison's corrupt officials had me cheering out loud. And the ending? Let's just say it's insanely satisfying and will leave you feeling uplifted about the possibility of conquering seemingly insurmountable odds.Beyond the stellar performances and gripping storyline, this movie stands out for its poignant themes and messages. It's a testament to the importance of Hope - the film hammers home how dangerous and soul-crushing it is to be institutionalized andstripped of all hope. Yet Andy clings to his dreams of the outside world, no matter how bleak his situation becomes, and it's that undying hope that ultimately becomes his salvation.The Shawshank Redemption also explores profound ideas about resilience, courage, integrity, and the ultimate human desire to be free. Although the prisoners are physically confined, the story shows how Andy refuses to let his mind and spirit be imprisoned. His determination to dream big and maintain his sense of self-worth is what allows him to prevail in the end. It's a powerful reminder that we all have the potential to transcend our circumstances, no matter how dire, if we have the courage and perseverance.I篇2Here's a 2000-word English essay recommending a favorite movie to a pen pal, written from a student's perspective:Hey there, pen pal!

Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman deliver performances that are nothing short of phenomenal. Theiron-screen chemistry is electric, and you can't help but feel deeply invested in their characters' journeys. The supporting cast is equally impressive, with standout performances from actors like Bob Gunton and James Whitmore.But what really sets "The Shawshank Redemption" apart is its ability to resonate with viewers on a profound level.

It's one of those rare cinematic moments that will leave you with chills and a renewed sense of hope.

The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 drama film based on a novella by Stephen King. It tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who is wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. He's sent to the brutal Shawshank prison where he forms an unlikely friendship with a fellow prisoner named Red.Now, I know what you're thinking - a prison movie doesn't exactly sound like a fun time. But stick with me here, because this film is so much more than that. It's a powerful tale of hope, friendship, and perseverance in the face of incredible adversity.One of the things that really struck me about The Shawshank Redemption is the incredible performances by the lead actors. Tim Robbins is absolutely phenomenal as Andy Dufresne. He brings such a quiet strength and dignity to the role, even as his character endures unimaginable hardships behind bars. And Morgan Freeman is simply brilliant as Red. His narration is like smooth jazz, guiding us through the harsh realities of prison life with wisdom and humor.But the acting is just the tip of the iceberg. The Shawshank Redemption is a masterclass in storytelling and filmmaking. The way the plot unfolds is so expertly crafted, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. And the cinematography is just gorgeous, capturing the claustrophobic atmosphere of the prison in a way that's both haunting and strangely beautiful.One of the most powerful aspects of the film is its exploration of the human spirit and the resilience of hope. Despite being locked away in a brutal environment, Andy never loses his sense of humanity or his determination to prove his innocence. His friendship with Red is a testament to the power of connection and how even in the darkest of times, a glimmer of hope can shine through.I don't want to give too much away, but the ending of The Shawshank Redemption is one of the most satisfying and uplifting conclusions I've ever seen in a movie. It's a true celebration of perseverance and the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.But the film isn't just a feel-good story; it also tackles some pretty heavy themes and social commentary. It's a searing indictment of the flaws in the criminal。

Exclusive: Ai Weiwei breaks his silenceGlobal Times | August 09, 2011 22:09By Liang ChenAi Weiwei relaxes in his studio in Caochangdi Art District with his cat after his release. Photo: Courtesy of Ai WeiweiAi Weiwei's first interview since being released from detention started with a tour of the renovations he's having done to his home and studio in the Caochangdi Art District in northeast Beijing."I'm having my studio and kitchen painted, and I've bought some new furniture to give the place a fresh look," said Ai, looking relaxed in a deep blue T-shirt that hung loosely on his more svelte frame.Ai may have a new-look home and body but he remained politically feisty during a six-hour, exclusive interview with the Global Times.Though a prestigious artist, he has been catching the world's attention more often in recent years through his vigorously campaigning for democracy than for his art. He has been labeled by international media as one of the strongest critics of the Chinese government.While Ai continues to demand reforms, he said he has never called for a change to the form of China's government. "Overthrowing the regime through a radical revolution is not the way to solve China's problems," Ai said. "The most important thing is a scientific and democratic political system."Throughout the day, Ai seemed his usual droll self, neither becoming too excited nor ever seeming despondent. At times he seemed flirtatious and was above all relaxed. "It feels good to be home," Ai said in an off-guard moment as he stretched out to pet his cocker spaniel.The outspoken artist was released on bail on June 22 and the authorities said he had confessed to tax evasion and promised to pay the overdue amount. Authorities maintain Ai's company, Beijing Fake Cultural Development Ltd, had evaded a "huge amount" of taxes and intentionally destroyed accounting documents, the Xinhua News Agency reported.Ai's detention sparked an international outcry with the Western media politicizing the case and the Chinese government telling them to mind their own business.Ai agreed to be interviewed but insisted that he not be asked about details of his detention.Ai said he has resumed normal life and although a condition of his bail forbids him from using Twitter, he still surfs the Internet for news.Most afternoon he spends several hours with his 2-year-old son, and he walks around the art district where he lives. "I didn't have much time with my family members before, but now I have plenty of time. I see my son as often as possible," Ai said with a fatherly smile on his face.Despite the sensitive issues surrounding his case and his release, Ai talked openly about his emotions, ideas and his thoughts while in custody. "I was cut off from the outside world. No one told me when I would be released. It felt like I had fallen heavily into a collapsed pit," said Ai, sitting comfortably with his legs folded under him on his new couch.Ai said not knowing what was happening to his case was the most worrying especially when he thought of his family. "I missed my mother and my son. I was worried that I might not get to see my son grow up," said Ai.During the serene afternoon at Ai's expansive studio a cat strolls through the courtyard, glances at the dog and disappears. Ai admits he'll be more cautious in the future but he hasn't softened."I've been drawn into the vortex of politics," Ai told the Global Times. "I will never avoid politics, none of us can. We live in a politicized society."Ai crossed his arms and looked serious. He paused for a thought and continued: "You give up your rights when you dodge them. Of course you might live an easier life if you abandon some rights. But there are so many injustices, and limited educational resources. They all diminish happiness. I will never stop fighting injustice."'Economic crime'Ai was detained at the Beijing airport on April 3. The authorities disclosed until April 6 that the police was investigating Ai for suspected economic crimes. On June 22, the authorities released Ai on bail after he reportedly signed a statement indicating he was guilty of tax evasion and willing to pay the overdue tax bill, Xinhua reported.Ai admitted to the Global Times that he signed a document but says it was not a confession. He agreed that if he were proven guilty he would accept the punishment."I am the art director of the company and don't really pay any attention to its financial situation," he conceded.Ai's wife Lu Qing is the legal representative of the design company.The artist's claim of innocence is not all that convincing to his many critics."The crux of the matter is simple: Ai is involved in a criminal case. He was detained because he was suspected of having evaded a large amount of taxes," Liu Nanlai, vice director of the Research Center of the Human Rights at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) told the Global Times.Liu explained that even though Ai said he was not aware of tax evasion conducted by his accountant, obviously, "the accountant won't evade tax without any order from management."Xiong Qiuhong, the director of the Institute of the Criminal Action Law at the CASS said that it is common for Chinese artists to intentionally or unintentionally evade taxes."Many famous artists have been caught and punished for evading taxes. Ai's case is not the only one," Xiong said.Xiong wants the local authorities to try Ai in a public trial on tax evasion. "In this way, we can prevent Westerners from politicizing the case," Xiong said.Xiong also warned, "if you are a dissident, you should keep your ass clean and not get involved in any crime, so that local governments cannot find you guilty."Political artistWhile the international community has lauded Ai for his art and for pushing the boundaries of free speech in China, many Chinese experts have criticized him for his extreme acts both in art and politics.The influential conservative television pundit and Internet blogger Sima Nan criticized Ai for insulting the nation. Sima was particularly upset with Ai's controversial photograph showing Ai standing nude with a toy horse covering his private parts with a caption that cryptically read "Mud grass horse party central committee." In Chinese the homonyms for "mud grass horse" would mean something sexual done to another's mother."Is that really art? If that's really art, then anyone can become an artist," Sima told the Global Times excitedly."As an artist, Ai has crossed the boundary of art and involved himself in the political arena. He claims freedom while he has no idea freedom is accompanied by responsibility. Spreading speeches that instigate the public to challenge the rule of the Communist Party is a violation of Constitutionalprinciples."Ai was an avid user of social media. Before he was detained Ai had 92,000 followers on Twitter, which is banned in China but can be accessed through overseas backdoor channels for a price. He has tweeted more than 60,000 times – most of which advocate democracy and free speech."I don't mean to politicize my artwork. I'm complying with the principles of ethics and aesthetics. Art is connected to politics," Ai told the Global Times.Ai spent 12 years in New York where he had several exhibitions of his works and met visiting Chinese artists such as film directors Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige, and composer Tan Dun.He also gained fame for having a hand in the design of Beijing's iconic National Stadium known as the Bird's Nest.Ai also conducted his own, private investigation into the list of schoolchildren killed during the 2008 Sichuan earthquakes. He clashed with local authorities after claiming the number of students killed were high because their schools were poorly constructed. He mounted a shocking and disturbing installation in Europe that comprised of 9,000 brightly colored student backpacks.His activism hasn't hurt the sale of his art. In February, Ai's piece "Kuihuazi" (Sunflower Seeds) sold for $560,000 at Sotheby's in London after it had been on display at the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in London."I felt very humbled by the high price, but it's all determined by the market," Ai said with a shrug. "I don't need much money for a luxurious life. My life is simple. What I want is the opportunity for everyone in the country to share in a just society."Some critics have also condemned Ai for his close connections to what they call "foreign forces who want to descend China into turmoil.""Foreign countries won't pass up any opportunity to defame the Chinese government and threaten the regime to prevent China from enjoying its hard-earned era of peace and development," Sima Nan said."Ai's case has been used by the Westerners," Wu Danhong, an assistant professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times. Wu is another critic who says Ai may be in cahoots with an unseen international conspiracy. "By condemning China's repression of dissidents in the name of democracy, foreign countries that don't want a stronger China intentionally attempt to descend China into turmoil by hyping Ai's case."Yet Wu also wants to see a more transparent legal system in China that will enhance public trust. "Dealing with legal cases openly and transparently will plug the loopholes that are being used by the ill-intentioned," Wu said.'No one is above the law'Contingent on his being allowed to leave China, Ai has accepted a teaching offer at the Berlin University of the Arts.Even though the terms of his release restrict him to Beijing for a year, Ai said he would never consider permanently leaving the country. "People with black hearts should be exiled, I will never leave," Ai said with a laugh.Although the outspoken artist is banned from speaking to the Western media, "including through Twitter," for at least one year, he returned to the Internet via a Google+ account last week.Along with his innocuous inaugural comments on Google+ ("I'm here, greetings," and "Here's proof of life"), he also posted a gallery of black and white photographs from his time in New York as a young artist in the 1980's and early 1990's.The Google+ community has quickly taken notice. As of the press time, more than 9,000 users have added Ai to their circle of contacts."Look, the information explosion, and the development of the Internet, have made the impossible possible. This is the best time for China," Ai said.Ai said although he has strong political opinions he is not all that sure of himself. "I'm an artist, but I'm more than that. I'm the type of person who can easily feel insecure and fill with worry," said Ai pensively. "I just want to do something to increase our sense of security in China."Ai agreed to talk to the Global Times even though the paper's editorial was highly critical of the West's politicizing of the case against the rebel artist. It was one of the few papers in China to touch the subject of Ai's detention who said he agrees with the editorial's main premise."No one is above the law," said Ai.少数批评者不代表中国民意2011年08月11日 13:02:18 来源:环球时报美国《基督教科学箴言报》8月10日文章,原题:中国的批评者不代表中国民意政治上被压制的一些中国知识分子,将近期的动车事故描述为中共缺陷的标志,还警告快速增长的经济危机四伏。
