What i s even better i s when countri es hel p each other and buil d a good friendship. An excel ent exam pl e of thi s happened when Bri tai n and Chi na worked together to bri ng the Mil u deer back to Chi na. The Mil u deer, a speci es wi th large horns, used to be m on i n Chi na l ong ke other deer they li ve together and eat grass and the soft parts of trees such as smal branches. Mi l u deer were often hunted for food or sport i n the past. The ,Ming and Qi ng dynasti es di d not protect them and m any were ki l ed. That i s how the Mil u der di sappeared from Chi na. Luckil y before al of them were kil l ed, som e were taken to Bri tai n to im prove the envi ronm ent of the beautiful park whi ch bel onged to the Duke of e l i ked them so m uch that he took them al l the way from Chi na to Bri tai n.

H ave you ever dream ed of playi ng i n front of thousands of peopl e at a concert, at whi ch everyone i s cl api ng and appreci ati ng your m usi c? Do you si ng Karaoke and pretend you are a fam ous singer li ke Song Zuyi ng or Li u Huan? To be honest, a l ot of peopl e attach great i m portance to bei ng ri ch and fam ous. But just now do peopl e form a band? Many m usi ci ans m eet and form a band because they l i ke to write and pl ay thei r own m usi c. They m ay start as a group of hi ghschool students, for whom practisi ng thei r m usi c in som eone’s house i s the fi rst step to fam e. Som etim es they may pl ay to passersby i n the street or subway so that they can earn som e extra m oney for themsel ves or to pay for thei r i nstrum ents. Later they m ay gi ve performances i n pubs or cl ubs, for which they are pai d i n cash. O f course they hope to m ake records i n a studi o and sel l m il li ons of copies to be e m il li onai res! H owever, there was one band that started i n a di fferent way. It was cal l ed the Monkees and began as a TV show. The m usi ci ans were to pl ay jokes on each other as wel l as play m usi c, m ost of whi ch was based l oosel y on the Beatl es. The TV ani zer had pl anned to find four m usi cians who coul d act as wel l as sing. They put an adverti sem ent i n a newspaper l oki ng for rock m usi ci ans, but they coul d onl y fi nd one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three m em bers of theband. As som e of these actors coul d not si ng wel l enough, they had to rel y on other m usi ci ans to hel p them . So duri ng the broadcasts they just pretended to si ng. Anyhow thei r perform ances were hum orous enough to be copi ed by other groups. They were so popul ar that their fans formed cl ubs i n order to get more fami li ar wi th them. Each week on TV, the Monkees would pl ay and si ng songs wri tten by other m usi ci ans. However, after a year or so i n whi ch they became m ore seri ous about thei r work, the Monkees started to play and si ng their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and pl aying their own musi c. In the USA they became even m ore popul ar than the Beatl es and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970, but happil y they reuni ted in the mi d1980s. They produced a new record i n 1996, wi th which they celebrated thei r former tim e as a real band. Freddy the frog（Ⅱ） Not l ong after Freddy and the band became famous, they vi si ted Britain on a bri ef tour. Fans showed thei r devoti on by wai ting for hours to get ti ckets for their concerts . Freddy was now qui te confident when he went into a concert hal l. He enjoyed si ngi ng and al l the congratul ations afterwards! His most exciti ng invitation had devel oped a new type of program just before the petiti on. So we need to encourage our program er to im prove our i ntel li gence to.

In this way I can make up new moves using my “artifical inteligence “. I would realy like to play against a human team, for I have been program med to act just li ke them.
