I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
【小题1】The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
A.has lived there for seventeen years |
B.prefers to live in an old-fashioned house |
C.is not used to the life there now |
D.has to be polite to everyone she meets there |
A.In a pub. | B.In a cafe. | C.In a restaurant. | D.In a nightclub. |
A.had never been to France | B.was from a typical French family |
C.didn't like the British idea of family | D.felt lonely in England |
Scott Langteau has this message for kids: Spend less time playing video games.
It’s a message that many a mom and dad has tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters) who spends perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.
But the 40-year-old Langteau isn’t a parent.He’s experienced at video games — one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co-founded his own game development company.
Langteau has just published a children’s book called “Sofa Boy,” which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.
It’s a fairy tale plucked straight from Langteau's own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction.But first, Langteau would like to make one thing clear: “I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games.I think video games are great, I think they do great things for kids”.Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation.(克制)”
“It’s about being well rounded,” he says.“Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”
Video gamers can be rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all, most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders — people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.
But Langteau and “Sofa Boy” seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game-savvy(有经验的) masses might actually listen to.After all, this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.
Scott Langteau published “Sofa Boy” to .
A.share his great skills on games
B.warn kids against game addiction
C.tell about his fairy tale as a kid
D.deliver a message for games
We can learn from the passage that .
A.Langteau advises the young to play games within limits
B.Langteau advises the young not to play games
C.playing video games ruins the future of kids
D.playing video games is of no benefit to kids
Why are the video gamers not accepted by the outsiders?
A.Because they are bad-tempered.
B.Because they are dangerous to others.
C.Because they do nothing but play video games.
D.Because the value of the video games is not understood.
By saying “It’s about being well rounded” Langteau thinks .20090506
