What do sports meets look like at your school? In 1 , sports meets are full of fun and energy!
Our school took part in “Interescolar”, a two-day event held every year. High schools in Chile come together to 2 in sports like javelin (标枪) throwing, running and a relay race.
I did a lot of cheering in the morning. In the afternoon, the dance competition that we had been 3 waiting for finally came. For the past two months, for nine hours a week, we had practiced our 4 for it.
The rules were simple: 5 any theme, be creative, stand out and keep the performance under 10 minutes. My school’s theme was 6 on the musical The Sound of Music. We were put into groups based on the 7 in the movie, like children, soldiers and puppets (木偶). I was a soldier, along with 17 of my schoolmates. When it was our school’s 8 , we raced onto a huge field. Thousands of people were watching there and millions more were watching on television.

A into poem that music necessary replace see use play write Art, to many, is a distinctly (显然地) human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art, such as painting or writing 1_______. Some people worry that AI might someday replace (替代) artists.
But this worry seems to be 2_______, at least for now. Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of 3________ artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI 4_______to turn the novel coronavirus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure (蛋白质结构).

As Peter Ward 10______ for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs. AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it’s welcomed and not unjustly (不公正地) feared.
