An embarrassment for the institution
Go to the British Museum.Ignore the Rosetta Stone；don’t tum left for the Parthenon sculptures；don’t be seduced by
the sumptuous naked statue of Venus.Instead,head up the stairs to Room 69.Here,it is (21)

answers.They are not likely to.Because,after a series of thefts,there are fewer antiquities behind this museum’s doors
than there (23)be.
The British Museum is in trouble.Precisely how much is not yet clear.The museum has announced a few
facts:objects (24)(date)as far back as the 15th century BC.including gold jewellery and gems,are 、missing.

Museum first learnt of this n2021:it is said Roman cameo gems are (26)
the things stolen.This might sound
small-一the gems are tiddly(微不是道).It is not.Dr.Christos Tsirogiannis,.who heads a UNESCO group on antiquities
trafficking at Ionian University,says this is、probably the worst case so far…No one expects (27)
to happen in a
museum.、
This is less about pottery than principles.To lose one antiquity may be regarded as a misfortune；to lose hundreds

you are a museum that cannot do its job.The museum has built its reputation-and defended
its collection-by arguing that it looks after things well.This would imply that it can’t Paul Cartledge,emeritus professor
of Greek culture at Cambridge University,thinks that is overstating it:the theft of some jewels does not mean the
Parthenon sculptures are unsafe.(29)he says；if this was going on for some time,、How the hell was it not
noticed?、
Equally:how the hell would it be?Museums are icebergs of antiquity.with the vast majority of their collections
unseen.In the case of the British Museum’s 8m objects,only around 1%are usually on display As with humans,
museums’、one percent、tends to be glamorous and noticeable:the Parthenon sculptures,the Rosetta Stone.Steal that,and
it would be noticed immediately.Steal a tiny Roman cameo and most would be none (30)
wiser.Other curators
may not have even known they had it in the first place
here.、The problem is that while we go on justifying the slog,we fail to notice burnout creeping up on us.

That’s because even if they recognize the downside of unproductive efforts over the long term,in the
moment,they deplores(强烈及对)idleness.In one famous experiment,the p时ychologist Timothy Wilson and his
colleagues found that 67%of men and 25%of women chose to press a button to electrically shock themselves rather than
sit still with their own thoughts in a lab room.Before entering the room,participants had stated that they would pay
money to avoid an electric shock.but once they were left alone,the inactivity became too much to bear,and people
sought to fill the void.
In many cases customers equate effort with worth.In one simple demonstration of this phenomenon,experimenters
showed that participants liked various items(such as a poem,a painting,and a suit of armor)more and rated them higher
in quality and value when they thought more effort had gone into producing them.Research by the HIBS(吟佛大学商学
e)operations professor Ryan Bull found that cafeteria customers reported greater satisfaction with their service when a
sandwich was made in front of them-when they could observe the work that went into it -than when an identical
sandwich was delivered to them
IV.Summary Writing
Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60
words.Use your own words as far as possible.
How young is too young to have your very own phone?
In recent years,the widespread adoption of mobile phones has extended to even the youngest members of society.
Research conducted by Ofcom(英国通信管理局)has found that a surprising number of three-and four-year-olds have
their own mobile phones,with a fifth of them owning one.These young children are already using these devices to
engage in various online activities,including watching streaming services,using social media,and playing games.
The debate on the appropriate age for children to have mobile phones and access to screens is ongoing.In 2019,the
World Rcalth Organizaton recommended that children under the age of two should avoid screens entirely,and children
under five should be limited to just one hour of sedentary screen time daily Research has linked excessive screen time in
young children to delayed development.
Despite these guidelines,there is no unanimous agreement among experts on how to respond to the growing
prevalence of mobile phones among young children.The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health challenged the
WHO’s advice,arguing that it overlooks families in situations where outdoor play is not readily accessible due to
housing constraints.As a result,the UK government’s chief medical officers stopped issuing specific guidance on optimal
screen time for young children.
Dr.Pauldy Olermans,a senior lecturer in psychology at Brunel University London,believes that in the digital age,it
is essential to leach children how to use digital tools responsibly.As mobile phones become increasingly prevalent in
society,it may be unrealistic to expect children just a few years older than toddlers to have little to no contact with such
devices.Proper guidance on their appropriate use becomes crucial to ensuring children develop healthy relationships with
technology.
Jennifer Howze,editorial director of the parenting platform Netmums,acknowledges the economic factors,
influencing parents’decisions about their children’s screen time.Many parents,burdened by increasing responsibilities,
may resort to using phones as a means lo keep their children occupied while they tend to work and household duties
However,the consequence of using screens to keep children quiet raises concerns about instant satisfaction and its
potential long-term effects on their brain development Moreover,there is growing worry that excessive early phone use
could deteriorate the relationship between children and their caregivers.
