26、Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk won the 2018 Nobel Literature Prize on 10 October.
Olga was born in 1962 in Sulechow, Poland today lives in Wroclaw. Her parents were teachers and her father also worked as the librarian. In the library she read almost everything she could get hold of and it was there that she developed her literary interest. After completing her education at the University of Warsaw she made herself known as a fiction writer in 1993 with Journey of the People of the Book. The book was well received and was awarded the Polish Publisher's Prize for the best literary work in 1993-1994.
Still, her real success came with her third novel Primeval and Other Times. The skillfully built family story in several lasting generations is set in a secret place with strong symbolic influence and full of realistic and true-to-life details. It starts in the year 1914 and deals with the Polish history, and Olga has stated that the story was a personal attempt to be in agreement with the national image of the past. The novel is an excellent example of the new Polish literature after 1989. It shows a great talent of imagination with a high degree of artistic standards.
Her 900-page The Books of Jacob, which the Swedish Academy thought of as her greatest work, covers seven countries, three religions and five languages, tacking the little-known history of Frankism, a Jewish sect (教派) that developed quickly in the 18th century. The work is considered a reflection of European culture.
Her books describe a multi-colored world, with characters' qualities put together and poetic language.
Olga, considered the most talented Polish novelist of her generation, was honored for “a descriptive imagination that stands for different forms of life with encyclopedic (百科全书式的) passion”.

27、Recently, many arguments between anxious parents and children on the use of mobile phones have hit the headlines. According to a survey, children’s addiction to online games is closely related to parent-child relations:【1】 . To keep children away from smartphones, parents have to reflect on their own behavior and apply themselves to building harmonious parent-kid relationships.
First, parents should not be overly upset or annoyed when their kids play video games. 【2】. And it’s unfair for parents to blame smartphones for all the problems of their children, including poor performance, lack of ambition and inactive lifestyles. Such problems existed even when smartphones and video games were not invented.
【3】 . Research shows children treated as equals in the family are more aware of the negative effects of online games. Those parents who respect their children’s opinions and pay attention to their needs can set family rules with the help of their children. 【4】 . And in such an atmosphere, children may be open about their thoughts and needs, and talk to their parents about what they really feel.
Last but not least, parents should spend time with their children.【5】 . So parents have to find time for their kids instead of saying they are too busy with work or ignoring their kids’ feelings.
In a word, developing good parent-kid relations is an effective way to keep or draw kids away from smartphones.
A.There are some other problems that deserve parents’ attention.
B.They are one of the most popular entertainments for students.
C.What’s more, it is advisable to adopt a friendly way of parenting.
D.Besides, some of the problems should be left for time to solve.
E.The better the relationship is, the less likely a kid is to be addicted to online games.
F.Actually, the most valuable gift for their kids is time, not money or expensive presents.
G.Family members can also smooth out their differences and reach consensuses (一致同意)together.
28、 There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word "larder", I didn't know what it meant. Realizing I didn't follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food.
The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store(食品杂货店)recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn't follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.
【1】When Lily used the word "larder", she was probably looking for a ________.
A. cup B. ladder
C. cupboard D. cooker
【2】What does the underlined phrase "jotted down" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Wrote down. B. Left behind.
C. Looked for. D. Settled down.
【3】According to the passage, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because ________. .
A. the game was boring
B. she wanted to spend time with her boys
C. she didn't dress her boys in thick clothes
D. her boys got lost
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. The British way of using words.
B. Some new words the writer's British friends taught her.
C. The reasons why Americans can't follow the British at times.
D. Some words used differently in British English and American English.

Bobby was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow. Bobby didn’t wear boots; or rather, he didn’t own any. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.
Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money for a gift.”
Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were.It wasn’t easy being six without a father, especially when he needed a man to talk to.
Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach. It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer (微光) of the setting sun’s rays reflecting on something on the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (10美分硬币).
Never before has anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment. As he held his newly-found treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store. His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.
He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line.When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift.The shop owner looked at Bobby and his offering ten-cent. Then he put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder, saying, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The sound of the door closing as the last customer left pulled Bobby back to reality.All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel alone and afraid.
