Racha Kirakosian is one of the professors who will teach the course. Students“made”her watchGame of Thrones,and she was quick to notice the similarities. According to her, Cersei Lannister shares many similarities with medieval(中世纪) German queen Kriemhild, the main character in a famous German medieval poem calledNibelungenlied.

One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube( underground inLondon), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails--trying to catch her mother's attention. Her mother just nodded and answered "Mm, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.

It broke my heart and got me wondering--what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?

Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.

This is not aisolatedexample. I've seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn't right.

The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained(抱怨) how theirchildren were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become "technology slaves"(奴隶), that is to say, they can't control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhonesor Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games withtheirexpensive mobile phones. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.

52Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The girl failed to catch her mother's attention.

B. The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.

C. The writer has much experience about being a parent.

D. Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.

53. The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means____________ .

A. spreading fast B. happening once C. increasing quickly D. appearing suddenly

54. In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express_____________ .

A. the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones

B. the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology

C. the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much money

D. the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly

55. What's the best title of the passage?

A. Middle-aged parentsB. A scene on the tube

C. Technology slavesD. Mindless phone games

I have lived in France for nine years, but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away before I open my mouth. Why?
In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.
Englishmen think of lunchtime as 1 p.m. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 p.m. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience!
