标题:How Elon Musk and Taylor Swift Can Resolve U.S. -China Relations
正文：I just spent a week in Beijing and Shanghai and let me get right to the point: While we were sleeping China took a great leap forward in high-tech manufacturing of everything. If no one has told Donald Trump, then I will: His nickname on Chinese social media today is “Chuan Jianguo” — meaning “Trump the (Chinese) Nation Builder” —because of how his relentless China bashing and tariffs during his first term as president lit a fire under Beijing to double down on its efforts to gain global supremacy in electric cars, robots and rare materials, and to become as independent of America’s markets and tools as possible.

标题:Donald Trump 2024 TIME Person of the Year
正文：Mar-a-Lago was quiet three days before Thanksgiving. Donald Trump’s Moorish palace seemed all but deserted late that morning, the seaside estate’s cavernous living room traversed intermittently by a junior staffer or silent aide. Totems to Trump were displayed everywhere. Framed magazines with him on the cover hung by the front door. On a table near the fireplace sat a cast-bronze eagle awarded him by the singer Lee Greenwood. In the men’s lavatory, a picture of him with Arnold Palmer hung near the urinals. Adorning a wall in the library bar, a painting titled The Visionary depicted Trump in a tennis sweater, trim and youthful. The empty rooms felt less like a millionaire members’ club than a museum.
知识点：thanksgiving n. /ˌθæŋksˈɡɪvɪŋ/
a public holiday in the US (on the fourth Thursday in November) and in Canada (on the second Monday in October), originally to give thanks to God for the harvest and for health 感恩节

Over the same period tion of people who were accepting of divorce rose from 18% to 64%.

标题:A Weary Biden Heads for the Exit
正文： It was a long day in Angola. President Biden had already visited a port facility bracketed with cranes and toured a factory filled with conveyor belts. So by the time he sat down at a large wooden circular table in a warm, stuffy room with African leaders, he put his head in his hand and briefly closed his eyes as the speeches droned on. Flying across the world would have tired even a president younger than 82. But the point, as he saw it, was that he came. He traveled thousands of miles to highlight a new U.S.-backed railway that could transform the economies of Africa and supply resources for America. He came. He did not have to. He insisted on it and was proud to be the first president to come.

标题:Silicon Valley Heads to Mar-a-ago
The tech industry’s Trump taboo is quickly becoming a distant memory.
正文：The days of tech CEOs tussling with Donald Trump are fading. After distancing themselves from Trump during his first administration—and publicly rebuking him after the events of January 6, 2021—many Silicon Valley leaders are now taking a softer approach. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have each pledged, through their companies or their personal coffers, individual $1 million donations to Trump’s inauguration fund. The Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who protested Trump’s immigration policies in 2017, apparently dined at Mar-a-Lago with Trump and Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, this month; Bezos, along with the the heads of TikTok and Netflix, are reportedly on the schedule there this week too. As Trump put it in a press conference today: “In the first term, everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend.”
知识点：tussle v./ˈtʌsəl/
If one person tussles with another, or if they tussle, they get hold of each other and struggle or fight. 扭打
• They ended up ripping down perimeter fencing and tussling with the security staff.

标题:The Most Hyped Bot Since ChatGPT
Remember Sora?
正文：For more than two years, every new AI announcement has lived in the shadow of ChatGPT. No model from any company has eclipsed or matched that initial fever. But perhaps the closest any firm has come to replicating the buzz was this past February, when OpenAI first teased its video-generating AI model, Sora. Tantalizing clips—woolly mammoths kicking up clouds of snow, Pixar-esque animations of adorable fluffy critters—promised a stunning future, one in which anyone can whip up high-quality clips by typing simple text prompts into a computer program.
知识点：announcement n./əˈnaʊnsmənt/

标题:Bashar al-Assad, an Ophthalmologist Who Became a Dictator, Is the Last of a Despotic Dynasty
正文：Bashar al-Assad was never expected to rule Syria. That job was meant for his older brother, Basil, who trained as a military commander while Bashar studied to be an ophthalmologist. He wasn’t expected to be the last of the line for his family’s despotic dynasty, either—at least not this soon. A lightning advance by Syrian rebel groups took just over a week to roll through the country’s major cities and into the capital Sunday, driving Assad to flee and bringing an end to a regime that had ruled for 54 years. Assad traveled to Russia early Sunday, where Moscow granted him and his family political asylum.
知识点：be meant for
to intend sb to be or do sth想要某⼈成为；想要某⼈去做
• I was never meant for the army (= did not have the qualities needed to become a soldier) .我根本就不是块当兵的料。
• Philip and Kim were meant for each other (= are very suitable as partners) .菲利普和⾦真是天⽣的⼀对。

标题:America’s gambling boom should be celebrated, not feared
The gambling frenzy is mostly about people being free to enjoy themselves
正文：A craze for betting is sweeping over America. This year Americans are on track to wager nearly $150bn on sports, having bet a paltry $7bn in 2018.

标题:Behind the Brain Rot
Oxford’s controversial Word of the Year captures how chronically online life has become.
正文：The image is black-and-white, lending it an air of “historical artifact”: A modern-day Donald Trump standing next to Elvis Presley. The president-elect posted the picture on Truth Social last night. Presley is strumming a guitar; Trump is idling in the frame. Of course, this scene is impossible, and it’s not a real photograph. Elvis died in 1977, when Trump was 31 years old. Nevertheless, here’s Trump, side by side with the King, not smiling, not singing, just … hanging out. There is no punch line, or even a semblance of a joke. It is literally just something to look at.
知识点：air n. /er/
the particular feeling or impression that is given by sb/sth; the way sb does sth感觉；印象；神态
• The room had an air of luxury.房间具有豪华的⽓派。
• She looked at him with a defiant air.她⽤蔑视的神情望着他。

标题:Picasso was a genius—and a beast. Can the two be separated?
It’s the wrong question to ask, says “Monsters”, a provocative new book by Claire Dederer
正文：Look closely at “Woman with a Yellow Necklace” (pictured below), a painting by Pablo Picasso of 1946. The woman is Françoise Gilot, his partner at the time. Notice, in particular, what appears to be a Marilyn-esque beauty spot on the figure’s left cheek. That mark is said to represent a cigarette burn, seared onto the sitter’s face during a row with the artist.
知识点：-esque
( in adjectives构成形容词 )in the style of…风格（或样式）的
• statuesque雕像般的

democracy
正文：December 3rd began as an uneventful early-winter day in Seoul, South Korea’s capital. Many went to sleep soundly that evening. By the time the sun rose the next morning, the country’s president, Yoon Suk Yeol, had declared martial law, attempted to forcibly take control of the National Assembly—and then abruptly reversed course. The extraordinary turn of events has thrust his country into chaos, called the future of his presidency into question and tested the strength of South Korean democracy.

标题:Joe Biden abused a medieval power to pardon his son
The president’s reversal is understandable, humane and wrong
正文：When setting up the checks and balances in the American constitution, the document’s authors knew they wanted the judiciary to be independent of the legislative and the executive branches. But who, then, would check the judges? One answer was that the president would be able to pardon criminals. This awesome power—to override a decision taken by the courts—should be used rarely, because it is at odds with democracy and judicial independence. If it seems a bit medieval to let one man dispense (and dispense with) justice in this way, that is because it is. In British law the “prerogative of mercy” can be traced back to the reign of King Ine of Wessex in the seventh century.
知识点：set up
If you set something up, you create or arrange it. 安排; 创建
• The two sides agreed to set up a commission to investigate claims. 双⽅同意成⽴⼀个委员会，调查索赔问题。
• ...an organization which sets up meetings about issues of interest to women. …⼀个安排有关妇⼥利益问题的会议组织。
