My mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.
They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother
was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m
not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch
even when life separated them.
Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight
children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several
months living with her family inseedymotels.
I sensed my mother hid her troubles from most people, but not from Martha, and I knew from my mother that
Martha carried her own sorrows. Their willingness to share sorrow without judgment was part of what bond
them.
The best friendships can also withstand (抵挡) periods without communication. They didn’t communicate a lot —
this was before the ease of emails and texts and yet I knew they were always in each other’s minds.
One day in 2008, 1 drove my mother to Martha’s house for their final visit. The moment my mother hobbled (蹒跚)
into Martha’s house, they threw their arms around each other and went to sit out in the garden, laughing until
they were dizzy. I snapped a photo, and spotted something joyous, young and free on my mom, which existed only
in the presence of her best friend.
Two years later, my mother died. Of all the people I had to tell, Martha was the hardest because I felt it erased her
past. After that, we lost touch. But I still think of her and how that friendship strengthened my mother.

“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The
words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science?
Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the
most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.
In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games
on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected
with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.
Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent
when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation
between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.
Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience
with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods
playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.
“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and
one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”
“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the
influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of video
games. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said
Bavelier.
4. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？
A. Video games make you happier.
B. Video games make your brain grow.
C. Video games play a key role in memory.
D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.
5. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？

Films to watch in March
Greta

dropping bags around the city on purpose to make new friends. Directed by Neil Jordan, the actors are attractive.
Grace Moretz is the waitress and Isabelle Huppert is the one who admires her. Thanks to them, Greta winds up

The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at
homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able
to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the
number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first
place — has been growing steadily.
UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young
adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.
The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their

Plan Your Visit to the British Museum
We've made a few changes to ensure you can safely enjoy your visit:
How to book tickets
·Tickets for the permanent collection can only be hooked online in advance.
·To book tickets for exhibitions, visit our exhibition pages. If you want to guarantee your visit to the
permanent collection as well as the exhibition on your visit, you will need to book a separate ticket.
·We are limiting numbers of people in the museum to ensure there is room for you to safely enjoy your visit.
Everyone, including members and volunteers, will therefore need to book a free, timed ticket in advance.
Important information about your ticket booking
·You can book up to six tickets for people who live in the same family.

Best language learning apps
Duolingo
The app doesn't restrict how many languages you can try to learn at the same time. I use Duolingo to practice
Spanish and German. In the app, you can access resources such as Duolingo Stories, which can allow you to check
your comprehension skills as you go. I also subscribe to Premium for $10 per month which includes an ad-free
experience and downloadable lessons.
Memrise
One of my favorite parts of Memrise is its short videos about how real locals express different phrases in
conversation. A few lessons are available for free daily, but the full program is accessible if you subscribe to
Memrise Pro. There are three plans—one month for $9, a year for $30 or three months for $19.

Theatre reflects the values of the civilization out of which it grows. The following are the types of theatre
performances an ancient Roman might have witnessed then.
Fescennine Verse
Fescennine Verse was a pioneer of Roman comedy. Ironic and improvisational（即兴的）, it was used mainly at
festivals or weddings, and as invective. With early native Italian funny dialogues in Latin verse, it was thought to
have combined with a tradition of performances by masked dancers and musicians from Etruria.
Fabula Atellana
Fabula Atellana relied on common characters, masks, direct humor, and simple plots. They were performed
by actors improvising. Fabula Atellana came from the Oscan city of Atella. There were 4 main types of characters:
