Beethoven (贝多芬) is famous for his nine symphonies (交响乐). Before he
died, he began a new symphony, but never f___71___ it. Computer scientists and
musicians have now used artificial intelligence (AI 人工智能) to complete his 10th
Symphony.
Beethoven was born over 250 years ago, yet his music is still played daily around the world.
Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, especially his nine symphonies. When
Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony. But all that he left b___72___
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. Their
g___73___ is to try to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The
team didn't just want to complete the symphony, they wanted to come as close as possible to
producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That's where AI came in.
To t___74___ 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. In this way, the AI could look
for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote.
Other members of the team studied Beethoven's notes and sketches, and worked to figure out
what Beethoven was p___75___ to do.
One early test told the team they were on the r___76___ track. They took a few minutes of
music created by the AI based 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.
It took the team over two years to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony. Recently, it was
performed for the first time ever by the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn, Germany.
So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And t___77___ Beethoven didn't write it all, the
team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written.

If you are a hiker or a nature lover, you'll enjoy reading A Walk in the Woods.
It's a true story, written as a comedy. The author is Bill Bryson. Bryson returned
to the US after 20 years in Britain and decided to get familiar with his native country
by walking the Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚山道).
The trail, about 3,500 kilometers long, is popular with thousands of hikers. Itgoes from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mountain Katahdin in Maine. The story offers a
landscape of silent forests and beautiful lakes. But as a writer with comic genius, Bryson also
finds humor in the struggles that he and his old friend, Stephen Katz, went through.
Lots of silly things happen along the way. At the beginning, Bryson reads about the dangers
of the wild and stays awake for hours each night, because he is worried he will be killed by bears.
Later the two middle-aged men try to climb a mountain but get caught in a snow-storm. They get
lost more than once, but they always manage to find their way back to the trail. They also meet a
lot of strange people.
But the story is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson also talks about acid rain (酸
雨), the hunting of birds, and damage to the ecosystem (生态系统). It's a mix of the silly and the
serious, a fresh way of getting readers to actually care about the environment problems. As the
website Book Browse said in a review, the book "will certainly become a modern classic of travel
literature".
