Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the

event. Here were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former

teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates

the English teacher for

fifty years, was wheeled to the park.

Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to

speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead

of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and

made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.

Then Ms.Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I an to be here. I haven’t seen

many of you since your graduation. But I have followed your careers(事业)and enjoyed your

victories as well as crying for your tragedies(不幸). I have a large collection of newspaper

photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person. I have attended your college

graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I

pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed

to annoy me. Regardless of our motives(动机), I can see that you have all been successful in your

chosen path.””There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her

years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to

know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.“

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The

clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers

and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from

a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

Mark Twain looked down upon those people who think it is possible for someone to learn

how to write a novel. “A man who is not born with the novel-writing gift has troublesome time of

it when he tries to build a novel”, he said.

But now new technology is making a difference to help an author write a novel. Michael

Green, a US data scientist-turned-novelist, felt that technology could help him.

He said that the process had become difficult to manage: “In the midst of editing, I got to the

point where I started feeling like I had a lot of plots and characters” he said “I had all these

documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating. I was worried about not being able to

keep track of it all. That is when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving

a complex problem with a lot of different places.”

Green went on to create Lynit

a digital platform to help authors plan and weave together the

many elements that form a story, such as the themes, characters and major events.

“As the author gets a new idea that they want to bring into the story they are able to input it

into a natural framework,” he said “piece by piece they are adding to the story. As new ideas come

in, they change, maybe by creating new nodes (节点) new relationships.”

Once the book has been published, technology is also playing an ever-increasing role in

publicity and connecting with readers. Websites and APPs from specialist firms allow authors to

participate in live-question-and-answer sessions with their audience. Michael Green believes

technology will become even more important as a new generation of tech savvy ( 精通技术的)

writers becomes more well known.

“What I’m finding with the Generation Z and even younger writers is that they are looking

for technology to give them guidance,” he said, “They see it as a tool to learn and grow with rather

than extra work.”

8. What difficulty did Green face in writing his book?

A. He felt that he was not creative enough

B. He would reduce important plots

He had trouble organizing his thoughts.
