Alex Scheffler is an award winning illustrator (插图画家), best known for his work on children's books. Here he talks about books that changed his life.
Petzi auf der Robinson Inl by Carla Hann, illustrated by Vilh Hann
This is one of a ries of books that I loved as a child growing up in Hamburg. I em to remember getting them sometimes after unpleasant visits to the dentist! The Petzi books described the adventures of a little bear, who was fond of pancakes, and his exploration of the world together with his friends, a penguin and a al.
I think they may have influenced my way of eing the world as I still prefer to draw animals with clothes on now !
I Am Papa Snap and The Are My Favorite No Such Stories written and illustrated by Tomi Ungerer
When I was a teenager, I discovered cartoonists and illustrators like Edward Gorey, Sempe, Bosc and others, but most of all I loved the art of Tomi Ungerer, a French artist with strong political views – anti-war, anti-racist,
anti-nationalist. Ungerer was a passionate European and spoke three languages: none of them perfect, he claimed, but then he could draw a universally understood means of expression! I think he was probably the strongest influence on my own work as an illustrator.
Cats, Dogs, Men, Women, Ninnies & Clowns: The Lost Art of William Steig by Jeanne Steig
When I discovered the work of William Steig, I was already working as an illustrator. He worked as a cartoonist for the New Yorker all his life and came to writing and illustrating children's books when he was in his sixties. I love his picture books: Solomon the Rusty Nail, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Gorky Ris, Brave Irene — more dresd animals!
This book, however, is slightly different as it was published after his death and contains about 400 unpublished drawings. I was very happy when I discovered it in a cond hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road.

He called me, “Mom, I'm so sorry. I know you told me not to play ball against the garage doors. I didn't think I would break them, though. ”Though I had wanted to let my son take the blame to teach him a lesson, I couldn't do it. Besides, he wasn't the only one who learned a lesson that day.

Read Across America Day
Read Across America (RAA) is a day held annually on March 2nd that encourages children in every community to read and also encourages parents and teachers to celebrate the joy of reading. It's a holiday that has been celebrated since 1998 and falls on the same day as children's book author Dr. Seuss' birthday.
This holiday dates back to May of 1997. This is when a small group of people at the National Education Association (NEA) came up with the idea to create a day of the year that celebrates reading among children. They reasoned that since many school football programs could get children engaged in the sport through pep rallies (鼓舞士气的集会), then why couldn't the same thing be done for reading? So they decided to turn to a Read Across America program that was officially launched on March 2, 1998, and ever since it has continued to grow in size. Today, more than 50 national non
profit and association sponsors (资助者) and more than 3. 3 million NEA members support the effort every year.
This holiday is celebrated in numerous ways. All over the country, libraries, schools and community centers hold special Read Across America events that promote reading in their communities. Teachers also develop special events on this day to encourage their students to read. The NEA also sponsors reading round tables and has an online store that allows people to buy everything they need for their RAA celebrations. This includes Dr. Seuss hats, RAA bookmarks, special RAA flash drives and even RAA mugs.
While recommended student reading lists vary from community to community, there are some books that always em to pop up. Below is a partial(部分的) list of some of the books read by elementary, middle school and high school students.

Beethoven, one of the world's most-loved compors, is famous for his nine symphonies (交响乐). Before he died, he began a new symphony, but never finished it. Computer scientists and musicians have now ud artificial intelligence to finish his 10th Symphony.
Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, but he's probably best known for his nine symphonies. A symphony is a long, grand piece of classical music, usually divided into four parts. Th
e four parts are often linked by “themes” — repeated musical ideas that tie the whole piece together. When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony. But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches” — short bits of written music.
In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. To train an AI to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand. By feeding the program all of Beethoven's music, the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. This included, for example, how he re ud simple melodies (旋律) all through a piece to create a theme, or how he moved between different parts of the symphony. Thus, it would be much easier for the special team to finish Beethoven's 10th Symphony.
One early test told the team they were on the right track. They took a few minutes of music created by the AI bad on Beethoven's sketches, and played it for Beethoven experts, musicians, and reporters. No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts the AI made up. Finally, the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years, but the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra — a large group of musicians playing everything
from string instruments, like violins, trumpets, flutes, drums, and piano.
32. What does the writer intend to do in paragraph 1?
A. To explain what artificial intelligence is.
B. To give readers a general idea of the text.
C. To tell readers how Beethoven is loved by people.
D. To show the reason for Beethoven's new symphony.
33. What is the goal of the special team?
A. To learn to play Beethoven's nine symphonies.
B. To feed all Beethoven's symphonies into computer.
C. To try to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony.
D. To create a new piece of music bad on the 10th Symphony,
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The special team's great efforts paid off.
B. It was challenging for AI to complete the task.
C. Beethoven's sketches were too hard to figure out.
D. AI created simply a melody of Beethoven's 10th Symphony.
35. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A brochure.
B. A textbook.
C. A music review.
D. A news website.
