    Culture Shock in Paris

    Before arriving in Paris, Wu Shuyun,a 56-year-old Chinese housewife, imagined the French capital to be like a film set for a romantic love story, (picture)herself as a fashionable princess surrounded by elegant Parisians.

    Not anymore once she was actually in the city. Instead, Ms.Wu said she was shocked by the cigarette butts and dog poop, and the indifference of the locals. Though friends(warn)her about thieves targeting Chinese people, she said she was surprised when a member of her tour group was robbed on a crowded Metro train, as other riders (watch).

    "For the Chinese, France has always been romantic, mysterious and desirable, "Ms.Wu said after a two-week tour." I realized that the Parisians were indifferent, I made a decision: try to make the most of the trip, but never come back to Paris again."

    Psychologists warned that Chinese tourists(shake)by disappointment were at risk of Paris Syndrome(巴黎综合症). It is a condition duringforeigners suffer depression and anxiety when their rosy images of champagne, magnificent architecture and Monet are destroyed by the stresses of Paris.

    The expression was coined 30 years ago by a Paris-based Japanese doctor, Hiroaki Ota, after several Japanese visitors to Paris fell ill when their culture of politeness and reserve(meet)with French arrogance.

    Thomas Deschamps, the head of research at the Paris Tourism Office, said culture shock was particularly common among travelers from Asia, sometimes wrongly regarded the French capital as a museum.

    "They watch movies like Ame lie. They think all Parisians carry Louis Vuitton purses and smell like Dior," Thomas said. "They don't know about the working-class suburbs, the overworked waiters, and other  (pleasant) parts of the city. Paris is not a museum. People are busy. They are stressed and living their lives."

     (help) protect Chinese tourists, the tourism industry has made efforts to be more culturally sensitive. An online guide for hotels and businesses notes that for serving Chinese visitors," a simple smile and hello in their language will naturally please them."

  • 15. (2022高二下·奉贤期末) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

    We all know thethat professional filmmakers and actors put into provide us with Entertainment, but it seems that evenmoviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too.

    For decades now, film studios have used so-called test screenings to get from members of the public before a movie comes out. While test audience members were usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the studio what they liked and didn't like, media giant Disney has now come up with a more high-techto this problem.

    According to a paper published this summer by the company's researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences' reactions by using special cameras placed inside cinemas.

    Bythe cameras with special software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to Joy.

    This works by68 different points on each audience member's face. The cameras can see in the dark, and the software can figure out a person's mood based on theof his facial expressions.

    It's hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members totheir feelings after the movies over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.

    Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well-known movies have been greatly, following these feedback. Viewers of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it weren't for its test audience's feedback." In one cut of the film that was tested, E T. died instead of going home in his space. You won't be surprised to hear that the test audience in question didn't appreciate this ending at all," wrote media website Den of Geek.

    But for those who are concerned about privacy, the cameras won't bein public cinemas. After all, unless you're part of a test audience, being in front of the camera is best left to the movie stars.

四、Reading comprehension
  • 16. (2022高二下·奉贤期末) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

    The Lipstick Effect Absent During This Pandemic

    With customers stuck inside their homes, they don't seem to be1to wear or purchase lipstick and instead are stocking up on sheet masks and hand sanitizer (消毒液). This is a change from typical customer behavior, with lipstick sales2 experiencing a boom during economic crises

    In the four years from1929 to1933, industrial production in the United States halved whereas sales of cosmetics rose. A (n)3pattern emerged around the turn of this century. An executive at cosmetics giant Estee Lauder4a "lipstick index" after sales of expensive lipstick jumped following the 9/11 terror attacks. More5, sales of lipstick at John Lewis department stores in the United Kingdom rose 31 percent in the three months leading up to the end of June last year in the wake of Brexit.

    6not everyone is counting on the lipstick effect to work this time around. With beauty retailer Mecca forced to close its 100 stores across Australia and New Zealand, owner Jo Horgan7that it's still too early to tell whether this effect will lead to sales growth.

    In the past few months, Ms. Horgan's focus has been on Mecca's online offerings in an attempt to8a portion of last year's $444 million turnover (营业额). She has launched a(n)9host experience of free and personalized beauty consultations via FaceTime for Mecca customers.

    "My gut feeling is that while people are self-isolating at home, they will start trying to look for ways to10 themselves and really enrich their soul by focusing on their skin, body and hair treatments, "she says.

    A similar trend has been11in sales at online beauty retailer Adore Beauty, which has seen a considerable increase in new customers. This increase, however, has failed to12into lipstick sales. Founder Kate Morris said Adore Beauty had seen three times as many new customers as normal but that lipstick and lip gloss sales were down 24 percent.

    "While everybody is talking about the lipstick effect, it is not what we are currently seeing.13we are seeing big jumps in anything hygiene related. People have got the14about washing their hands. We are selling triple the amount of hand wash and hand sanitizer than we were a month ago," she said.

    Adore Beauty turned over more than $100 million last year and employs a staff of 170. Ms. Morris is looking to hire an additional ten staff members to cope with the increased demand while also trying to fund the further15of her brand.

    She said the online retailer has also recorded big jumps in "essential" categories, with moisturizer up 73 percent last month and hair treatments up 43 percent.

    As I was growing up, chickens were always raised in my family. We always had about a dozen of them at any given time and whenever one died off—taken away by hawk or fox or by some obscure chicken illness—my father would replace the lost hen.

    He'd drive to a nearby poultry farm and return with a new chicken in a sack. The thing is, you must be very careful when introducing a new chicken to the general flock. You can't just toss it in there with the old chickens, or they will see it as an invader. What you must do instead is to slip the new bird into the chicken coop in the middle of the night while the others are asleep. Place her on a roost beside the flock and tiptoe away. In the morning, when the chickens wake up, they don't notice the newcomer, thinking only, "She must have been here all the time since I didn't see her arrive." The clincher of it is, awaking within this flock, the newcomer herself doesn't even remember that she's a newcomer, thinking only, "I must have been here the whole time…"

    My arrival in India does likewise.

    My plane lands in Mumbai around 1:30 AM. It is December 30. I find my luggage, then find the taxi that will take me hours and hours out of the city to the Ashram, located in a remote rural village. I doze on the drive through nighttime India, sometimes waking to look out the window, where I can see strange haunted shapes of thin women in saris walking alongside the road with bundles of firewood on their heads. At this hour? Buses with no headlights pass us, and we pass oxcarts. The banyan trees spread their elegant roots throughout the ditches.

    1. (1) What's the function of the first paragraph?
      A . To tell readers her family background. B . To work up reader's appetite for the text. C . To introduce the following paragraphs D . To make a summary of her childhood.
    2. (2) When did the writer probably arrive in India?
      A . 8:00 P.M. B . 3:00 P.M. C . 7:00 AM. D . 1:00 AM.
    3. (3) What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?
      A . group B . shelter C . farm D . chicken
    4. (4) Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
      A . The writer knows how to raise chickens. B . The writer takes a nap in the taxi. C . Indian women work on their own. D . Daily life in India surprises the writer.

    When students are required to obtain the skills for the new century, the desire to further integrate technology into our classrooms is bigger. Whether it's a K-12 or college classroom, it's rare to find an environment that does not integrate technology in some form or another. In some cases, online learning has replaced the physical classroom altogether. As educators, we owe it to ourselves and our students to use these benefits. However, while technology offers significant advantages, simply integrating it as an alternative source of delivery or as another means for students to demonstrate their comprehension is not an effective practice.

    We must remind ourselves that any form of learning technology should also be guided. These resources are just instruments and require high-quality guided practice from instructors. These instruments, combined with guidance, can afford good instruction, practice and motivation. While technology can positively impact learning outcomes, it may be even more effective for some students if it's instructor-led and integrated into a well-designed curriculum.

    Technology is rapidly changing the educational environment and challenging students to adapt accordingly. It can frustrate students of different generations struggling to learn how to use a learning platform in addition to picking up the actual subject. Some may wonder, "Why should I waste time learning how to create a podcast(播客) when I could simply write the paper?"

    It's a reasonable question. We must not assume students who were raised using technology are always comfortable learning with these tools. A study found that because of tools some students may not have experience using, they may need more direction on how to apply these tools. Students may struggle if an instructor neglects to teach the conceptual basis of the tools. Technology may mean little without appropriate objectives and goals for its use, structures for its application, and trained deliverers.

    Educators are also tasked with providing students the skills they need to flourish in a highly competitive and technologically-based workplace. Many of the skills obtained through online classes are valuable professional skills. Students taught how to use multiple learning technologies effectively have a competitive advantage over those who are simply using technology as a method of delivery in the online classroom. Regardless of the subjects we teach, integrating technology gives our students the opportunity to not only learn the content, but also to develop skills useful beyond our classrooms. Technology, when integrated and balanced appropriately with the curriculum and with student needs, can make us more effective as educators.

    1. (1) What is important to the learning technology?
      A . Instruction and revision. B . Comprehension and application. C . Guidance and arrangements. D . Diversity and flexibility.
    2. (2) According to the passage, what should an educator do?
      A . Arrange online assignment for students. B . Notify students of the value of the learning tool. C . Prepare students with rules in the workplace. D . Help students master online technology.
    3. (3) What's the author's attitude toward learning technology?
      A . Critical. B . Approving. C . Wait-and-see. D . Unconcerned.
    4. (4) Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
      A . Can Technology Put an End to Traditional Classrooms? B . Is the Learning Technology a Tool or an Opportunity? C . Does Technology Boost Educational Effectiveness? D . Does the Learning Skill Outweigh the Learning Content?
  • 20. (2022高二下·奉贤期末) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

    A. Using supervision software,he cautions, is not a communication system

    B. That's the question I'm fighting with now — as are, I know, a growing number of parents

    C. One way to stay ahead of the game, he says, is to talk frequently with your children about what they're doing online

    D. I can imagine being reduced to spying on my children if I believe that it was the only way to protect them from pressing hard

    E. But all that changed recently, when a good friend confessed that his 14-year-old daughter had become involved with a 30-year-oldman –an adult she met in a chat room.

    F. And though the windows the Web opens up for a child are powerful doors to the world, there is also some pretty kid-unfriendly stuff out there.

    I have never been too worried about what my kids do online. I have been using the Web for about as long as there was a Web to use, and I am not an alarmist..

    My friend — I'll call him Frank — is just like me. He's been using computers for decades and is as comfortable online as he is off. Though he too has two PC-using kids, he ignored the Internet's red-light zones. Frank had always assumed that as far as the bad stuff was concerned, most of it was either interesting or manageable. This story has a happy ending; that is, Frank was able to get involved in time. What technology enabled, technology solved. Frank used the Internet to hunt down the person and find his home — which, as it turned out, was only a few towns away. Then he got a judge to sign an order forbidding this creep from having any contact with his daughter. The whole affair left Frank shaken; he felt guilty and frustrated. "She needs her computer for school. 1 can't take it away from her. What would you do?"

    . My computer-savvy daughters are 12 and 10 years old, and so much of their social lives are online; instant messaging is as much as a part of their culture as the telephone.

    But giving children immediate and uncontrolled access to the Internet without preparing them is a little like giving them the keys to the car without subjecting them to any driver's education. The population of teenagers online is rising. . And, as my friend Frank learned, the net makes it possible for the worst kind of people to creep into your home.

    As a result, a whole cottage industry aimed at concerned patents has arisen. The "solutions" range from software that allows you to spy on your kids to filters that prevent access to certain websites and chat rooms to secret software agents that will quietly e-mail you when Junior is going someplace online that he shouldn't. You can even get software timer that ends your child's online session after a set period every day.

    Clearly, this is a last-resort kind of a thing. I am entirely opposed to doing such a thing routinely. There has to be a better way.

    I was relieved to find out that Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, the noted clinical professor of pediatrics emeritus (儿科名誉教授) at Harvard Medical School, agrees that spyware is not the answer 一 and says it may even create additional problems for children. . Sit with them at the computer and discuss what they see. Share with them the values of your home and use the media to bring them out. Talking is essential.

    In the Name of Love

    Many people grow up hearing the advice that all you need to do in life is to "find your passion." The implication is if you "do what you love", success-and probably happiness and money-would follow. People like Apple's Steve Jobs and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg were long regarded examples of this trend. In fact,age group you are in, or education level you have reached, this idealized view of the working world is the modern-day equivalent of the emperor's new clothes myth.

    When you stick to the "do what you love" advice for your career, you immediately narrow your vision of what a career can be-and therefore, limit your ability  (satisfy) by your careers. You get the wrong idea thatyou are not doing the right job you are doing the job that you "love". There's a big chanceyou will miss out on some of the wisest potential career decisions available to you. What's more, you might be wasting your time chasing after a bachelor's degree only to take a job your degree is all but useless.

    Most people don't grow up,(want) to clean up after others or work in low-end(低端的) retail or fast food jobs. The reality is: we need bus drivers, cooks and doormen as much as we need engineers, web developers and data scientists. Even though machines may be taking some jobs away, there is a large number of jobs that are not going anywhere-and we depend on them every day.

    Stop putting too much pressure onin order to do what you love. Start with focusing on what skills you have, what you can learn, and you can translate them into a worthwhile job with upward mobility. Your love for what you do will come with the satisfaction of a job well done.

    I Am What I Am (also known as Lion Dance Boy), a Chinese animated feature released on Dec 17, 2021, has found itself in the eye of a social media storm— about eyes.

    The film revolves around three teenagers from Guangdong province who set out to master the traditional lion dance. While ancient culture isto the plot, the setting is very much the real-world China of today. This alone sets the film apart from most recent Chinese animated : works of high fantasy related to mythology.

    Pushing the realism, the filmmakers opted to give the characters relatively small eyes. The idea was to break away from the "beauty standards of onlineand filter aesthetic (审美) and to try "to explore the aesthetic in animation-from an angle of reality," writes The Global Times, paraphrasing producer Miao Zhang.

    For some, though, thedon't represent Chinese people so much as racist stereotypes of them. Viewers have taken to social media to criticize the film.

    "This is how Chinese people were exaggeratedly portrayed during the period. We've been discriminated against for so long that this doesn't look so strange to some people" reads one Weibo user comment. Another wrote an essay arguing that "narrowed" eyes is a greaterto a Chinese person than imagining a Black person eating watermelon and fried chicken in the United States. Large eyes are very common in Chinese cg films. For Zhang, this reflects absorption of foreign ideas, not the small eyes his film contains. The Global Times continues:

    The response to "narrowed" eyes of the character shows that we lack aestheticand our aesthetic view of animation has been homogenized (统一化) given the huge influence of Japanese and American animation and the selection of such an ordinary boy perfectly describes his  of strengthen and resistance to life.

    I Am What I Am is popular with those who have seen it, earning user scores of 8.3 and 9.5 respectively on film reviewing platforms Douban and Maoyan. Its Chinese box office to date is 164.6 million yuan, according to Entaroup.

    The question of racism aside, this controversy shows howto character design can become deep-rooted in the industry, to the point where even a subtle difference will become .
