Lately, my 90-year-old mother has been sleepier and sleepier. This is very strange and worrying. At the same time, my 92-year-old father has been suffering his own health problems. It is a terrible thing to see my father struggle to get my mother to talk, say something, when she doesn’t have the energy.

The other day I recalled how my mother used to visit a woman named Mrs. Demopolis, a Greek immigrant, who made the best baklava(果仁蜜饼) in the world! She gave lessons on baking it to my mother. Also, my mother often baked baklava at home. As I spoke of this over the phone, my silent mother perked up and said how much she’d like to have one again.

Now, they live in Florida and I live in Wales, UK, so I can’t go and bring her some baklava or even make some in her kitchen. But what I did suggest was that my father could buy some baklava at a Greek restaurant and I could do the same, and wouldn’t it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so, be together sharing the moment and the pleasure? My parents loved the idea and we decided to do it.

Two days later we both had our baklava and shared the experience. It meant a lot to my parents, and to me, to do this. My mother said she wanted to do this again, maybe with another food or even baklava again! Why not? And as she only keeps losing weight instead of gaining, it is good for her to find foods that appeal to her appetite . It is becoming harder to find ways to communicate over the phone, but this is at least a very good way to do so.

4. Why does the author feel worried?

A. Her mother can’t walk by herself. B. Her mother is becoming less active.

C. Her father has to get her mother to talk. D. Her mother refuses to talk with her father.

5. What does the underlined phrase “perked up” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Calmed down. B. Turned around.

C. Held one’s breath. D. Came to life.

6. What did the author suggest to please her mother?

A. They should enjoy the same food at the same time.

B. The author should buy some baklava for her mother.

C. Her mother should make some baklava in her kitchen.

D. Her family should get together to look after her mother.

7. What do we know about the author’s mother?

A. She hopes to live with her daughter. B. She is looking for her favorite food.

C. She likes communicating in this way. D. She thinks baklava is the most delicious.

C

In the digital age, we rely on technology such as social media in trying to build interesting and varied lives. Social networking sites like Facebook are designed and promoted to make us believe enthusiastically that they are able to open up new experiences for us. There are constant notifications (通知) and updates, urging us to check-in to find out what is new.

But if we do not use the technology wisely we can end up becoming overly attached and trapped in a cycle of social media FOMO, a sign of deeper unhappiness. FOMO, or fear of missing out, is a fear that exciting or interesting events are happening somewhere else and that we are not able to join.

People who experience high levels of FOMO have been found to be more likely to give in to urges to write and check text messages while driving, as well as to use Facebook more often directly after waking, while going to sleep and during meals.

When it comes to lasting happiness, it is best not to give in to FOMO, but rather to deal with the cycle of desires that fuel it. Hard as it is, we are better off working toward facing the fearful reality that we cannot experience everything we might like than to get caught in a cycle of checking behaviors that only cause anxiety.

If we have become used to using social media as part of our attempts at living interesting lives, we must admit that it is not easy to change our approach. But change is almost always worthwhile in the long run.

The fact that FOMO is so common in our digital age is a sign that there is something wrong with the way we are pursuing happiness and that we are not as happy as we might think we are. It should warn us that, in our eagerness to use digital technology to try to make ourselves happier, we may unintentionally (无意之中) be bringing on exactly the opposite result.

8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The digital age has arrived.

B. Sites give netizens useful experiences.

C. People have fallen into modern technology.

D. Social media are designed to attract public attention.

9. Which of the following could be regarded as social media FOMO?

A. Failing to use Facebook. B. Answering a call during shopping,

C. Reading text messages on reaching offices. D. Checking Facebook while driving.

10. Why does the author suggest avoiding FOMO?

A. To gain long-time happiness. B. To speed the cycle of desires.

C. To work much better. D. To reduce fearful reality.

11. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. Everybody has experienced FOMO.

B. Digital technology may make us unhappier.

C. Pursuing happiness is a sign of the digital age.

D. People may unintentionally get lost in technology.

I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.

Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.

Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.

To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.

12. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?

A. He has written dozens of plays. B. He has a deep love for the theater.

C. He is a professional stage actor. D. He likes reading short plays to others.

13. What does the author avoid doing in his work?

A. Stating the plays’ central ideas. B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.

C. Including various types of plays. D. Offering information on the playwrights.

14. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?

A. Control their feelings. B. Apply their acting skills.

C. Use their imagination. D. Keep their audience in mind.

15. What is this text?

A. A short story. B. An introduction to a book.

C. A play review. D. An advertisement for a theater.
