Contact: email director@redbluffartgallery.com or call 530-529-1332
Entry deadline (报名截止日期): November 10, 2023
Requirements:
Entry: Minimum: 1; Maximum: 20
Entry fee : $40.00 per entry
Imagine seeing your work in a 3D, walk-through virtual exhibit ! We create this amazing and
beautiful tool for the promotion ( 宣 传 ) of your work. Use the Exhibit on social media, your
website, newsletters, or in your emails. Your Solo Exhibit will also have its own page with the Red
Bluff Art Gallery.
The Solo Exhibit gives total focus to your work and gives you a way to both promote and sell
your own work yourself. You keep 100% of sales.
During the year of your Exhibit, when a work sells, you can use a new one to take its place.
You can also make changes to descriptions and prices. There are no extra fees for doing this.
When signing up, you’d better enter between 10 and 20 pictures to make a good show. If any
of your work is not used, all fees will be given back to you.
The solo show will run for one full year. A notice will be given to the email address you
provide if your entries are chosen for the show. Please also make sure you enter your name so it can
appear with your artwork titling.
For more information, please visit artist.callforentry.org.

I’ve been wondering how kids themselves, especially young ones, define( 定义) play. It turns
out that there have been quite a few research studies in which young children are asked in various
ways to distinguish between play and not play. In a review of 12 such studies, Natasha Goodhall
and Cathy Atkinson (2019) concluded that even very young children have a rather clear idea of the
difference between play and non-play. Most important for the present discussion, a key
characteristic of play for children is that it is chosen and directed by the children themselves.
As one example of such a study, Justine Howard and her colleagues (2006) showed children
pictures of other kids involved in various activities and asked them to judge each as “play” or “not
play.” It turned out that the most reliable indicator for the children was the presence or absence of
an adult. If an adult (generally seen to be a teacher) was present, the activity was most often judged
as “not play,” even if the children looked happy and involved. Children were also more likely to
judge an activity as play if there was more than one child involved than if a single child was doing
something alone.
Howard and her colleagues (2006) also reviewed previous research on children’s
understanding of play and concluded that, all in all, children consider an activity to be play if it is
controlled by the children, is enjoyable, has no preset goal, and involves pretense. Yay! This list
matches reasonably well with the list I generated based on the work of other play researchers and
my own observations. I’m apparently not too far off the mark.
Unfortunately, many education specialists who have heard that play is good for children’s
learning don’t understand what play is. They develop “play-based learning” programs that go
against the first characteristic of play because they are chosen and set up by the teacher and are
more-or-less forced upon the children rather than freely chosen by them. Once the first
characteristic is destroyed, the others are also generally destroyed.
I think it is hard for teachers to provide much real play for children, because that means giving
up control. Moreover, stepping back and letting the children do their own thing may look like
laziness or negligence(疏忽) to adult observers.
24. Which of the following is more likely to be regarded as play by children?
A. Activities filled with joys and sorrows.
B. Activities directed by children themselves.
C. Activities with the company of their parents.
D. Activities set up and monitored by a teacher.
25. What does the underlined sentence “I’m apparently not too far off the mark” in paragraph 3
mean?
A. I am opposed to the mark. B. I am in the wrong direction.
C. My finding is close to the truth. D. My mark is beyond imagination.
26. What is the problem with “play-based learning” programs?
A. Children can not choose them freely.
B. The benefits of the programs are ignored.
C. Not all the children are involved in the activities.
D. What children do goes against the rules of the games.
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How children define play.
B. Why play matters for children.
C. How specialists design play-based learning.
D. Why play-based learning is important to children.
C
Companies use more and more data to improve how artificial intelligence (AI) recognizes
images, learns languages and carries out other complex tasks. However, unlike the human brain,
when AI learns something new, it tends to forget information it’s already learned. A recent study
wants to find out a way to help AI take in new data like the human brain, helping Al keep learning
over time.
“Our brains can continuously learn throughout our lives. We’ve created an artificial platform
for machines to learn throughout their lives,” said Shriram Ramanathan, a professor at Purdue
University.
Unlike the human brain, which constantly forms new connections between nerve cells to
enable learning, the circuits (线路) on a computer chip don’t change. A circuit that a machine has
been using for years isn’t any different from the circuit that was originally built for the machine in a
factory. “If we want to build a computer or a machine that is inspired by the brain, we must make it
have the ability to continuously program,” Ramanathan said.
In their study, Ramanathan and his team built a new piece of hardware that can be
reprogrammed on demand. The hardware is a small device made of a special material, which is
very sensitive to hydrogen(氢). Applying electrical pulses (电子脉冲) at different voltages (电压)
allows the device to shake a concentration of hydrogen ions (离子) in matter of nanoseconds (a unit
for measuring time), creating states that the researchers found could be mapped out to correspond
to functions of the brain. When the device has more hydrogen near its center, it can act as a single
nerve cell. With less hydrogen at that location, the device serves as a synapse ( 突触), a connection
between nerve cells, which is what the brain uses to store memory in complex neural circuits.
Through experiments, the researchers showed that the internal physics of this device creates a
dynamic structure for an artificial neural network. As new problems are presented, a dynamic
network can “pick and choose” circuits that are the fittest to address problems.
The researchers are working to demonstrate these concepts on large-scale test chips that would
be used to build a brain-inspired computer.
28. What is the purpose of the new study?
A. To help AI cope with complex tasks.
B. To help AI work like the human brain.
C. To enable AI to follow the instructions better.
D. To find ways to explore human’s learning ability.
29. What mainly influences AI’s learning ability?
A. Its changing connection. B. Its limited storage capacity.
C. Its fixed chip circuit. D. Its random data input.
30. What is mainly talked about in the fourth paragraph?
A. The feature of the device. B. The difficulties of the study.
C. The influence of the hardware. D. The background of the research.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a new advance in AI.
B. To show the promising future of AI.
C. To explore the mystery of human brains.
D. To explain the limitations of current computer systems.
D
The streets of London are infamously colorful, and even more so now that some local
authorities have decided to dress up pedestrian crossings in colors or other equally bright designs.
Some of these “colorful crossings” are created by councils around the UK with more than just
aesthetics (美学) in mind, focusing instead on preventing pedestrian casualties (伤亡人员).
