Kodak Is Changing the Picture

In September 2003, Mr Carp, CEO of Kodak, announced what he called the "biggest taming point" in Kodak's history. There would, he said, be no more big investments in traditional film. He also reduced the company's dividend by 72% to finance a $3 billion investment. By 2010, Mr Carp hopes for an income of $ 20 billion. In 2002, some 70% of the company's income came from its traditional film products, the remainder from digital. By 2006, the plan is for digital income to account for 60%.

That will take some doing. In the nine months to September 30th, 2003, Kodak's net income rose by only 1.5% (to $9.5 billion), and despite the first profits from its digital cameras, net profits fell by 63% to $246 million. Over the next three years, Kodak expects film sales to fall by 10% or more every year in America and Europe, and by up to 20% a year in Japan.

Companies that find their business model threatened by rapid technological change often fail to adapt successfully. Kodak is trying to take advantage of opportunities created by digital photography, such as designing easier-to-use equipment.

By announcing the "biggest turning point" in Kodak history, Mr Carp is to secure a digital future for Kodak.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Doesn't Say

Hong Kong's once booming movie industry--one of the world's biggest——faces extinction as v
ideo piracy(盗版)becomes more and more popular. Gone are the days when film fans swarmed to cinemas to see latest-released local movies. "the Hong Kong film industry will disappear in a few years unless something is done," said Woody, chief executive of the Motion Picture Industry Association.

The industry started going downhill in the early 1990s when major investors backed off in the face of rising copyright piracy. "since the Taiwanese have stopped investing in or buying the copyright for Hong Kong movies at very high prices, there's not too much money coming in from Taiwan," a director said. "Taiwan money had funded at least half of the industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s". she said. Hong Kong made 86 movies in 2002, a fifth of the 426 produced in 1994. The industry employs just 5,000 people now, down from 30,000 in 1994. The industry's fading attraction has also dimmed the careers of its stars. Now, besides making far fewer films, they have turned to other fields, such as drama, television, radio or business.

Copyright piracy is at the heart of the problem. The widespread sale of pirated video compact discs has drawn audiences away from the big screen or genuine products. Pirated editions flood Hong Kong, with shops selling VCDs of the latest local and Hollywood movies for as little as HK $100 (US $13) for six discs. By contrast, a movie ticket costs about HK $50 (US $6.4). Hollywood studios have threatened to stop bringing in their latest movies unless piracy is brought under control. Making a bad situation worse, Hong Kong's economy began to sour in late 1997 amid Asia's financial crisis.

With the industry in the depression, top members of the Hong Kong film industry, such as actors Jackie Chan and Chow Yurt-fat and director John Woo, now spend more time in Hollywood.

In a vicious(恶性的) cycle, the talent drain reduces the motivation for audiences to watch local movies. If the decline continues, more industry professionals will seek work overseas.

What is the main cause of the problem of the movie industry in Hong Kong?

A.The government's interference.

B.Asia's financial crisis.

C.The copyright piracy.

D.The vicious cycle.

The Business of Media ViolenceIn 2001, people around the world spent US $14 billion going

The Business of Media Violence

In 2001, people around the world spent US $14 billion going to the movies. The U.S. domestic box office alone hit US $9 billion—a 75 percent increase from 1991—and there are huge revenues from home video/DVD sales, rentals and spin-off merchandise. But even these profits are dwarfed by music, the largest global media sector. In 2000, sales reached US $37 billion, with music consumption high among young audiences everywhere. Video games are not far behind: global sales for 2002 were anticipated to be US $31 billion.

An Expanding Foreign Market

American media corporations earn fit least half of their profits from foreign sales. And global markets are growing fast as standards of living are rising around the world. Sales of TVs, stereos, VCRs and satellite dishes are increasing, and in the last decade or two, new and expanding markets have emerged in countries that have abandoned state control of media and distribution.

Today, U.S. films are shown in more than 150 countries world wide, and the U.S. film industry provides most of the pre-recorded videos and DVDs sold throughout the world. American television programs are broadcast in over 125 international markets, and MTV can be seen in more foreign households than American ones.

This international success has a tremendous impact nor just on the recipient countries, but also on the cultural environment of the U.S. To some extent, the tail is wagging the dog: more and more, the demands and tastes of foreign markets? are influencing what popular products get made in the U.S.

Action Sells: Film and Television

Nowhere is this influence more evident than in the film industry. In the U.S. and Canada, movies rated "G"(General) and "PG"(Parental Guidance) consistently brings in more revenues than R-rated films. Yet the number of G and PG films has dropped in recent years, and the number of restricted films has risen. Two-thirds of Hollywood films in 2001 were rated "R".

Film producers are unequivocal about why this is so: the foreign market likes action films.

Action travels well. Action movies don't require complex plots or characters. They rely on fights, killings, special effects and explosions to hold their audiences. And, unlike comedy or drama—which depend on good stories, sharp humor, and credible characters, all of which are often culture-specific—action films require little in the way of good writing and acting. They're simple, and they're universally understood. To top it off, the largely non-verbal nature of the kind of films that journalist Sharon Waxman refers to as "short-on-dialogue, high-on-testosterone" makes their dubbing or translation relatively inexpensive.

There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. The film Titanic made almost US $2 billion in worldwide sales as of 2001—making it the biggest-grossing movie of all time. The British film The Full Monty was an international hit; and My Big Fat Greek Wedding debunked all the profit formulas in 2002. But such offbeat successes are hard to predict. A flick such as Die Hard or Terminator is much more of a sure thing. Most film budgets today average US $75-100 million, so Hollywood studios don't like to take chances.

All this means enormous pressures on the American movie industry to abandon complexity in favor of action films. The effect is a kind of "dumbing-down" of the industry in general. Foreign investors are much less likely to invest in films focusing on serious social themes or women's issues, or ones that feature minority casts. Such films, however brilliant, are not where the big money is. Worldwide appeal determines casting and script. decisions and the overwhelming demand is for white actors and action.

Success breeds success, and the sheer ubiquity of these productions and all their spin-off products and businesses around t

Computer Needs EmotionThe next big breakthrough in artificial intelligence could come from

Computer Needs Emotion

The next big breakthrough in artificial intelligence could come from giving machines not just more logical capacity, but emotional capacity as well.

Feeling aren't usually associated with inanimate(无生命的) machines, but Posalind Picard, a professor of computer technology at MIT, believes emotion may be just the thing computes need to work effectively. Computers need artificial emotion both to understand their human users better and to achieve self-analysis and self-improvement, says Picard.

"If we want computers to be genuinely intelligent, to adapt to us, and to interact naturally with us, then they will need the ability to recognize and express emotions, to have emotions, and to have what has come to be called emotional intelligence. " Picard says.

One way that emotions can help computers, she suggests, is by helping keep them from crashing. Today's computers produce error messages, but they do not have a "gut feeling" of knowing when something is wrong or doesn't make sense. A healthy fear of death could motivate a computer to stop trouble as soon as it starts. On the other hand, self-preservation would need to be subordinate to service to humans. It was fear of its own death that promoted RAL, the fictional computer in the film 2002:A Space Odyssey, to extermine (消灭) most of its human associates.

Similarly, computers that could "read" their users would accumulate a store of highly personal information about us-not just what we said and did, but what we likely thought and felt.

"Emotion not only contributes to a richer quality of interaction, but they directly impact a person's ability to interact in an intelligent way, " Picard says, "Emotional skills, especially the ability to recognize and express emotions, are essential for natural communication with humans. "

According to Picard, emotion intelligence is necessary to computers because ______.

A.it can make computers analyze the information more efficiently

B.it can help to eliminate the computers' innate problems

C.it can improve the mechanic capacity of computers

D.it can make computers achieve a better understanding of human users

The next big breakthrough in artificial intelligence could come from giving machines not j
ust more logical capacity, but emotional capacity as well.

Feelings aren't usually associated with inanimate machines, but Rosalind Picard, a professor of computer technology at MIT, believes emotion may be just the thing computers need to work effectively. Computers need artificial emotion to understand their human users better and to achieve self-analysis and self-improvement.

The more scientists study the "wetware" model for computing—the human brain and nervous system—the more they conclude that emotions are a part of intelligence, not separate from it. Emotions are among the tools that we use to process the tremendous amount of stimuli in our environment. They also pay a role in human learning and decision making. Feeling bad about a wrong decision, for instance, focuses attention on avoiding future error. A feeling of pleasure, on the other hand, positively reinforces an experience.

"If we want computers to be genuinely intelligent, to adapt to us, and to interact naturally with us, then they will need the ability to recognize and express emotions, to have emotions, and to have what has come to be called 'emotional intelligence,'" Picard says.

One way that emotions can help computers, she suggests, is by helping keep them from crashing. Today's computers produce error messages, but they do not have a "gut feeling" of knowing when something is wrong or doesn't make sense. A healthy fear of death could motivate a computer to stop trouble as soon as it starts. On the other hand, self-preservation would need to be subordinate to service to humans. It was fear of its own death that prompted HAL, the fictional computer in the film 2002: A Space Odyssey, to kill most of its human associates.

Similarly, computers that could "read" their users would accumulate a store of highly personal information about us—not just what we said and did, but what we likely thought and felt.

"Emotions not only contribute to a richer quality of interaction, but they directly impact a person's ability to interact in an intelligent way," Picard says. "Emotional skills, especially the ability to recognize and express emotions, are essential for natural communication with humans."

In the future computers will tend to be made ______.

A.fictional

B.humanized

C.economical

D.operational
