D.weshouldspendmoretimeworkingwithGrandmaD①Does

life

sometimes

seem

to

be

full

of

impossible

problems？How

many

times，for

example，do

you

find

yourself

saying

things

like

"I

really

don't

understand

this

Maths

problem"

，or

"I

can't

get

into

the

school

team"？Well，maybe

it's

time

to

introduce

yourself

to

the

power

of

"yet".By

adding

this

simple

word，you

can

change

everything.

"I

really

don't

understand

this

Maths

problem

yet."

"I

can't

get

into

the

school

team

yet."

Suddenly，the

impossible

becomes

possible.You

can

imagine

those

things

happening.

②I

read

about

a

school

that

has

changed

the

way

it

marks

its

students'

exams.The

school

finds

out

that

the

old

pass/

fail

system

wasn't

helping

students'

motivation（积极性）.If

you

passed，then

great，but

those

students

who

didn't

pass

often

felt

like

failures.So

now

students

who

don't

pass

the

exams

will

not

see

a

big

red

F

on

their

papers；they

see

a

"Not

yet"

instead.That

way

the

students

feel

that

they

are

on

a

journey.They

haven't

reached

the

end，but

they

know

that

they

are

going

the

right

way.

③This

kind

of

thinking

is

part

of

what

experts

call"having

a

growth

mindset".People

with

a

growth

mindset

don't

concentrate

on

failure.They

aren't

worried

by

not

getting

things

right

the

first

time

and

are

happy

to

keep

trying

until

they

do.They

enjoy

the

challenge

and

believe

they

can

change.In

contrast，people

who

just

focus

on

the

failure

have

what

the

experts

call

"a

fixed

mindset".These

people

are

always

worried

about

failure

and

are

happy

to

give

up

when

things

don't

go

right.They

don't

think

that

they

are

able

to

change.Clearly，it

is

better

to

have

a

growth

mindset

than

a

fixed

mindset.

④But

don't

worry

if

you

think

that

you

have

a

fixed

mindset.

▲.Remember

that

it

all

starts

with

questioning

the

things

you

believe

about

yourself.Stop

believing

that

you

can't

or

you

haven't

and

realize

that

you

just

can't

or

haven't

yet.Once

you

start

doing

this，you'll

wonder

why

you

didn't

do

it

before.It's

one

small

but

very

powerful

word.18.The

Drama

Festival

will

run

in

and

outside

China

from

June

20

to

July

7.

Sixty-five

works

will

be

put

on

both

in

theaters

and

online.

"The

festival

is

all

about

imagination

connecting

drama

with

the

latest

technology,"

says

Liu

Chang,

manager

of

the

festival,

who

is

also

a

drama

director.

Technology

has

improved

design,

performances

and

so

on.

Artists

like

Liu

aren't

sure

if

the

new

technology

can

take

drama

to

the

future.

A

Chinese

play

directed

by

Meng

Jinghui,

inspired

（受……启发）

by

the

two-part

drama

Faust

by

Johann

Wolfgang

von

Goethe,

will

be

on

as

the

opening

play

of

the

festival.

In

the

first

half

of

the

play,

Meng

introduces

the

story

to

400

real

audiences

（观众）

sitting

in

the

Fengchao

Theater

in

Beijing.

The

second

half

of

the

play

will

have

more

audiences,

who

use

their

cellphones,

computers

and

headsets

to

be

part

of

the

play

online.

Zhang

Zhouxiang

is

a

director

full

of

imagination.

His

work,

inspired

by

Hieronymus

Bosch's

painting

The

Garden

of

Earthly

Delights,

will

be

shown

from

June

30

to

July

2.

Supported

by

AI,

audiences

can

explore

the

fictitious

scene,

similar

to

the

feeling

in

the

real

world,

as

the

painting

describes.

"The

stage（舞台）

design

is

done

by

AI,

which

is

like

an

assistant

realizing

the

ideas

of

me

and

my

team,"

says

Liu,

"Now

I

try

to

use

the

latest

technology,

such

as

ChatGPT,

to

write

the

script,

and

I

am

still

working

on

it

because

the

language

model

is

difficult

to

understand."

Now

technology

is

playing

a

more

and

more

important

role.

Many

artists

want

to

use

it

to

improve

drama.

They

are

very

interested

in

the

relationship

between

people

and

the

latest

technology,

especially

when

connected

in

drama—a

scene

to

dream.22.Which

______A.Liu
