One day，I took an underground to work，I saw something that made me very sad．On the tube（underground in London），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 draw her mother's attention．Her mother just nodded and mumbled"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 an isolatedexample．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 how their children were crazy about their mobile phones．Look how the situation has changed!The parents have become"technology slaves"，that is to say，they can't control themselves while using mobile phones．Now some middle﹣aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones，which are probably the only two brands they know．They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones，I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry．But my hope is that this storm passes．
32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A．The girl failed to attract 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．
33．The underlined word"isolated"in Paragraph 4 means ．
A．spreading fast
B．happening once
C．increasing quickly
D．appearing suddenly
34．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
35．What's the best title of the passage？
A．Middle﹣aged parents
B．A scene on the tube
C．Technology slaves
D．Mindless phone games．
In summer，it's common on the street to see many Chinese women holding parasols1 to protect themselves from the sun．But when Amy，an exchange student in Beijing from the US，first saw this，she found it strange，even impossible to understand．She wrote on her blog，"Unlike Chinese women，American women like to put on their tank tops and sunglassed during summer．If you walk around an American college campus2，you will probably see girls out on the grassy fields reading，but they really hope to get a head start on their summer tan3．"
This may be caused by the different standards of beauty between the US and China．Many Americans don't want white skin．They would rather be tanned．Amy also wrote，"Having darker skin is so popular that many women and men will pay for fake4 tans so that they can keep their sun﹣kissed appearance during the winter months，too．"
Why do they like tanned skin？Michelle Louis reported in her research，"The process of tanning can help make people's skin smooth and hide marks．"She further explained，"Tans make people's skin appear healthier and make them appear thinner than when they have pale skin．"
Perhaps there is no real ideal standard of beauty．In different cultures and at different times of history，the standards change．On Amy's blog，she also gave two examples．Some women carried parasols around trying to keep their white skin in the US 150 years ago．During the Tang Dynasty in China，heavy women were thought attractive．But now，Chinese women prefer to be slim．
In a word，different standards of beauty should be respected．People may grow up with only one idea of what beauty is，but it doesn't mean that it's necessarily the correct or the best idea．
New words：
1．parasol n．umbrella used to protect people from the sun 阳伞
2．campus n．grounds of a school，college or university 校园
3．tan n．the brown colour of sun﹣kissed skin 晒成的棕褐色
v．become brown by the sun晒成棕褐色，晒黑

A．we should respect different standards of beauty
B．the standards of beauty change at different times

Picture the scene：It's midnight．You're very hungry after studying for a long time．Then you
see a nice pie in the fridge．Do you eat it？It seems that you shouldn't，for many reasons，including its influence on your studies．
Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight．But now a new
study has shown that late﹣night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains﹣it might hurt
our ability to learn new things and store memories．
"We believe that late﹣night eating may affect （影响） our learning by affecting the parts of the
brain that control learning and memory，"Dawn Loh，PhD，a project scientist at the University of
California，Los Angeles，said，"We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the
damaged （受损的） memory．"
For the study，the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans．For two weeks，the
mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active，or during
the time when they usually sleep．The mice received the same amount（数量） of sleep and calories．
Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice．In one test，the researchers tried to find out
whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock（电击） after 24
hours had gone by．
The researchers noticed that，when the mice were put in the room again，those mice that ate
when they should have been sleeping were less likely（可能的） to get scared than those mice that
ate during usual hours．It means that they didn't remember．
So think twice before the midnight snack﹣it might be bad for more than your weight．
42．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2refer to（指代）？
A．Studying for long．B．A nice pie．C．A new study．D．Late﹣night eating．

A．to check the brains of the mice before the test started
B．to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleep
C．to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time
D．to let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories

A．A recent study shows late eating affects weight．
B．What we eat can affect learning and memory．
C．The mice that ate during sleeping hours didn't remember．
D．The mice that ate during usual hours didn't remember．
