once.At 43,I've reached the stage where women are warned to watch out for the creeping sadness ofmiddle age.We're served up an endless stream of advice on "how to survive your 40s",as if we're inthe endurance stage of a slow limp toward 26.This is the age women start to become"invisible"-our value,attractiveness and power supposedly 27 by the vanishing of youth.But Idon't feel like I'm fading into 28.I feel more seen than I ever have,and for the first time in mylife,I have a clear-eyed view of myself that is 29,compassionate and accepting.When I look in the mirror,I'm proud of who I am-even those "broken"parts that for so longseemed impossible to love.So when advertisers try to sell me ways to "turn back the clock",I haveto 30 a laugh.I wouldn't go back to the crippling self-consciousness of my youth if you paidme.This hard-won sense of self-acceptance is one of the joys of being an older woman.But it's anarrative often 31 out by the shame that marketers rely on to peddle us their diet pills,miracleface creams and breathable yoga pants-as if self-love is a 32 commodity.For some women I know,this sense of trust and self-belief later in life gave them the courage toleave dysfunctional relationships or 33 on new career paths.Others talked about enjoying theirown company,of growth through 34,deepening bonds of friendships,the ability to be morecompassionate,less judgmental and to listen more and appreciate the small pleasures.Life past 40 isfar from smooth sailing,but it's so much more than the reductive 35 we see in women'smagazines and on the Hollywood big screen.6·1A)adversityneglectedB)authenticobscurityconveyK)outlinesD)depictionsL)prevalentE)diminishedM)purchasableF)drownedN)submitG)embarkO)suppressH)fragilitySection BDirections:In this section,you

Replace Real Ones?A)Digital humans are coming to a screen near you.As computer-generated imagery (CGI)hasbecome cheaper and more sophisticated,the film industry can now convincingly recreate peopleon screen-even actors who have been dead for decades.The technology's ability to effectivelykeep celebrities alive beyond the grave is raising questions about public legacies and image rights.B)Late in 2019,it was announced that US actor James Dean,who died in 1955,will star in aVietnam War film scheduled for release later this year.In the film,which will be called FindingJack,Dean will be recreated on screen with CGI based on old footage(影片镜头)andphotographs,with another actor voicing him.The news was met with excitement by those keen tosee Dean digitally brought back to life for only his fourth film,but it also drew sharp criticism."This is puppeteering the dead for their fame alone,"actress Zelda Williams wrote on Twitter."Itsets such an awful precedent for the future of performance."Her father,Robin Williams,who diedin 2014,was keen to avoid the same fate.Before his death,he filed a deed protecting the use ofhis image until 2039,preventing others from recreating him using CGI to appear in a film,TVshow or as a hologram(全息影像).C)The James Dean film is a way to keep the actor's image relevant for younger generations,saysMark Roesler of CMG Worldwide,the firm that represents Dean's estate."I think this is thebeginning of an entire wave,"says Travis Cloyd,CEO of Worldwide XR,one of the companiesbehind the digital recreation of Dean."Moving into the future,we want James Dean to be broughtinto different gaming environments,or different virtual reality environments,or augmented realityenvironments,"he says.2D)Other actors have been revived,with the permission of their estates,for advertising purposes:forexample,a 2011 advertisement for Dior featured contemporary actress Charlize Theron alongsideiconic 20th-century stars Marilyn Monroe,Grace Kelly and Marlene Dietrich.Later,AudreyHepburn was digitally recreated for a chocolate commercial in 2013.In the same year,a CGI BruceLee appeared in a Chinese-language ad for a whisky brand,which offended many fans because Leewas widely known not to drink alcohol at all."In the last five years,it's become more affordableand more achievable in a whole movie,"says Tim Webber at UK visual effects firm Framestore,thecompany behind the Hepburn chocolate ad.Framestore used body doubles with resemblance toHepburn's facial structure and body shape as a framework for manual animation.The process wasextremely difficult and expensive,says Webber,but the technology has moved on.E)Now,a person can be animated from scratch."If they're alive today,you can put them in scanningrigs,you can get every detail of their body analysed very carefully and that makes it much easier,whereas working from available photographs is tricky,"says Webber,who won an AcademyAward for his visual effects work on the 2013 film Gravity."I also see a lot of actors today whowill have the desire to take advantage of this technology:to have their likeness captured and storedfor future content,"says Cloyd."They foresee this being something that could give their estatesand give their families the ability to make money from their likeness when they're gone."F)A hidden hazard of digitally recreating a deceased celebrity is the risk of damaging theirlegacy."We have to respect the security and the integrity of rights holders,"says John Canning atDigital Domain,.a US firm that created a hologram of rapper(说唱艺人)Tupac Shakur,whichappeared at the Coachella music festival in 2012,15 years after his death.G)Legally,a person's rights to control the commercial use of their name and image beyond theirdeath differ between and even within countries.In certain US states,for example,these rights aretreated similarly to property rights,and are transferable to a person's heirs.In California,under theCelebrities Rights Act,the personality rights for a celebrity last for 70 years after their death."We've got a societal debate going on about access to our public commons,as it were,aboutfamous faces,"says Lilian Edwards at Newcastle University,UK.Should the public be allowed touse or reproduce images of famous people,given how iconic they are?And what is in the bestinterest of a deceased person's legacy may conflict with the desires of their family or the public,says Edwards.H)A recreation,however lifelike,will never be indistinguishable from a real actor,says Webber."When we are bringing someone back,representing someone who is no longer alive on thescreen,what we are doing is extremely sophisticated digital make-up,"he says."A performanceis a lot more than a physical resemblance."I)As it becomes easier to digitally recreate celebrities and to entirely manufacture on-screen identities,could this kind of technology put actors out of jobs?"I think actors are worried about this,"says
