I wented to watch the ballet, the Peony Pavilion last Sunday’s evening, because I think ballet was more or less the same everywhere, I was totally unprepared for its uniquely beauty. I was absorb as soon as the curtain rose. The performance borrowed a lot from Chinese dance and its the music, but the East influences on the ballet was clear, the production was filled in colors and romantic symbols, and challenged my senses in many different way.

The history of writing instruments, with which humans have recorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings, is the history of civilization itself. This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.
The handy sharpened-stone was adapted into the first writing instrument. Around 24, 000 BC, cavemen started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of their caves. 1. Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.
Before paper came along, people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones. Around 6000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the first paper-like material called papyrus (纸莎草纸). The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus.”
2. Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reed(芦苇)-pen for the papyrus. 3. And thus, ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (茎) into an early form of fountain pen.
Another writing instrument that remained active in history for long period was the quill (鹅毛) pen. Introduced around 700 AD, the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most common. 4. For making fine line drawings, crow feathers were the best.
When writers had better inks and paper and handwriting had developed into both an art form and an everyday occurrence, man’s inventive nature once again turned to improving the writing instrument. 5.
A.Then something was needed to write upon the papyrus.
B.The papyrus became the most popular material at that time.
C.Swan feathers were of high quality, being rare and most expensive.
D.Bamboo stems were better and much more expensive than goose feathers.
E.These were mostly the stems of grass, especially from the bamboo plant.
F.This led to the development of the modern fountain pen in the 19th century.
G.These drawings showed events in daily life like the planting of crops or hunting victories.
Children now worry more about their parents spending too much time on their mobiles or computers than parents worry about their children. Those who order their children to switch off televisions, computers or mobile phones because they fear they are becoming addicted might need to take a long hard look at their own screen habits, new research shows.
Almost 70% of children think their parents spent too much time on their mobile phone, iPad or other similar devices, a research found. More than a third of children worry that their parents struggle to switch off from technology and a quarter of children surveyed openly accuse them of double standards when it comes to excessive (过多的) use of mobile devices, televisions and computers. One in five British children say their parents do not listen to them properly when they are together because they are so busy checking their emails or picking up work messages.
The survey was carried out by Opinion Matters, a research agency for the New Forest National Park Authority. The authority has recently begun providing facilities for visitors to hand in mobile phones, tablets and other devices for fear that technology is invading family life and making it impossible for people to appreciate nature properly because they never switch off.
Dr Richard Graham, a consultant adolescent psychiatrist and expert in technology addiction at Capio Nightingale Hospital in London, said there is growing evidence that children are finding their parents’ preoccupation with communication technology increasingly worrisome.
Four in ten of the children surveyed admitted that they sometimes communicate with their parents by text, email or social media even they are in the next room. The survey found that six in ten parents worry their children are spending too much time glued to small screens at home but almost seven in ten children have the same fear for their parents.
Dr Aric Sigman told the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health conference that parents who cannot switch off risk driving them to a lifelong dependency on screens with striking similarities to alcoholism. If so, I think, they will regret wasting the time supposed to be spend on their children before they grow up disappointed.

2.According to the Paragraph 3, we learn that _________.

3.According to Graham, what’s children’s attitude to their parents’ screen habits?
A.Approving. B.Doubtful.
C.Upset. D.Indifferent.
4.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce the mobiles and computers to adults.
B.To advise parents to spend more time on their children.
C.To describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with.
D.To compare today’s parent-child relationship with that in the past.
