Passage 2

In China today, Internet addiction has acquired a symbolic function that isabout more than health. At Film Forum on August 6th, “Web Junkie,”by the Israeli filmmakers, takes us inside an Internet-addiction treatment center in Beijing to chronicle the ways in which technology, wealth, and autonomy are altering the ties between young people and the elders who strain to comprehend those changes.Jim is a sixteen-year-old who was playing World of Warcraft ten hours a day by the time his parents gave up on him. In a series of powerful scenes in counseling sessions, we watch a family failing under the pressures of work and expectation. His father, a thin, quiet man, admits to beating his son and trying to stab him “just to scare”him into obedience, before admitting that they have no way to communicate. “It’s worse than talking to a stranger,”the father says. The son threatens suicide. “At home, I feel I don't exist,? he tells his parents, trying to explain why he escaped into the emotional refuge of a vast online world. “On the Internet, I have friends who care about me,” he says. A moment later, with little provocation, he picks up a metal stool and asks his father, “Do you want to die?”The most revealing moments in “Web Junkie”have little to do with the Internet or addiction; they are about private, perceptual changes within families, as young Chinese men and their parents struggle with questions of individuality, personal freedom, self-development, and trust. Many of the parents seem to be loving but preoccupied, and they would prefer to pin their troubles on mysterious new technologies than on the underlying causes of their children’s distress. The parents, raised in another China, have no way to relate to their children, and littletime to try. In one scene, a clinician places phone calls to parent after parent, trying in vain to persuade them to leave work and accompany their children in treatment. In a final reunion scene, parents greet their children awkwardly as a voice through a loudspeaker advises, “Parents, hug your kids.”Professor Tao Ran, the founder of the center and a pioneer in Web-addiction treatment in China, is a particularly surprising character. At first, he is cast as the quack (冒牌医生)exclaiming about the Web as“digital heroin.” But then he addresses a room full of parents and describes, insightfully, that a generation of only children, who face narrowing job prospects and heavy pressure to support their aging parents, present a challenge that China has never faced. “Do you know how lonely your kids are?” he asks. “So where do they look for friends? The Internet.”“Web Junkie”does not end with any tidy answers. The devotion that young Chinese feel to the Internet is driven by deep factors ranging from youth unemployment and income inequality to demographic imbalance between men and women. Even for those who are growing up with more prosperity and autonomy than their parents ever imagined, the Web is an escape from reality. In one scene, a kid is sitting patiently while a technician fits his head with a peculiar bonnet made of rubber tubing and wires. “Close your eyes and think about something happy”the clinician says. Asked, upon his departure, what he learned at the Chinese Teenagers Mental Growth Center, one young man shrugs and says, “How to escape.”

From earliest times their energy had gone, first of all, into ear nest toil.

Which of the following is TRUE in terms of “color”?

Passage 1

The Palace Hotel at Fort Romper was painted a light blue, a color of blue found on the legs of a certain bird that makes it bright in any surroundings. The Palace Hotel, then, looked always loud and screaming in a way that made the bright winter scenes of Nebraska seem only a dull gray. It stood alone, and when the snow was falling, the town two hundred yards away could not be seen.When a traveler came from the railroad station, he was obliged to pass the Palace Hotel before he came to the group of low houses which was Fort Romper. It was believed that no traveler could pass the Palace Hotel without looking at it. Pat Scully, the hotel-owner, had proved himself a master at choosing paints. It is true that on dear days, when the long lines of trains swept through Fort Romper, passengers were surprised at the sight. Those that knew the brown-reds, and the dark greens of the eastern part of the country laughingly expressed shame, pity and shock. But to the citizens of this western town and to the people who slopped there. Pal Scully had performed a wonder.As if the displayed delights of such a blue hotel were not sufficiently inviting. Scully went every morning and evening to meet the trains that stopped at Romper. He would express greetings and welcome to anyone he might see hesitating.One morning when a snow-covered engine dragged its long string of cars to the station, Scully performed the marvelous trick of catching three men. One was a shaky and quick-eyed Swede, with a great, shining, cheap bag; one was a tall, sun-browned cowboy, who was on his way to a job near the Dakota border; one was a little silent man from the cost coast, who didn’t look like it and didn’t announce it.Scully pratically made them prisoners. He was so quick and merry and kindly that each probably felt it would be cruel to try to escape. So they followed the eager little man. He wore a heavy fur cap pulled tightly down on his head. It caused his two red ears to stand our stiffly, as if they were made of tin.At last, Scully grandly conducted them through the door of the blue hotel. The room which they entered was small. It was occupied mostly by a huge stove in the center, which was burning with great force. At various points on its surface the iron had become shiny and glowed yellow from the heat. Beside the stove, Scully’s son, Johnnie, was playing a game of cards with an old farmer. They were quarreling.With loud words Scully stopped their play, and hurried his son upstairs with the bags of the new guests. He himself led them to three bowls of the icy water. The cowboy and the Easterner washed themselves in this water until they were as red as fire. The Swede, however, merely placed his fingers in the bowl. It was noticeable throughout these proceedings these the three travelers were made to feel that Scully was very kind indeed. He was giving out great favors.Afterwards, they returned to the first room. There, sitting about the stove, they listened to Scully shouting at his daughters, who were preparing the noon meal. They employed the silence of experienced men who moved carefully among new people. The Swede was especially silent. He seemed to be occupied in making secret judgments of each man in the room. One might have thought that he had the sense of foolish fear which accompanied guilt. He looked like a badly frightened man.

What does the writer mean by“loud and screaming”in Paragraph 1 ?

Love is selfish. I can only love you if I genuinely love, value, appreciate, and respect myself.
