Technology and the present generation of kids go hand in hand. Taking advantage of this factor, Lim Hojoon, the designer from South Korea, has come up with an educational gadget (小装置) especially for children.　

Kidget, as the name suggests, is a combination of two words – kid and gadget. This kid-friendly gadget has various uses. When your child is in a mood to read, it takes the form of a storybook. When the mood is to draw and color this wonder gadget turns into a perfect canvas (画布). Your child can freely give color to all his/her imaginations. Should he or she wish to have some fun, see this device change into a musical instrument. You too would enjoy doing activities with your loved one using this gadget. This touch screen device will definitely prove to be an ideal friend.

As many parents agree, in this age of technological advancements it is much easier to introduce children to new gadgets than adults. While many adults refrain (克制) from trying out something new, kids are more than prepared to take the leap. Keeping this fact in mind, Kidget is the perfect gift for the child of the 21st century. You will be surprised to see how fast your little one gets acquainted with the device. You might even find yourself lagging (落后) behind at times.

Kidget has another hidden advantage. It helps take the load off young shoulders. With three things rolled into one, a child has much less books, stationary items and related goods to carry. It comes with a promise to make life simpler for kids. Not only is it simple to use but also easy to carry along. The stylish protective case comes with a belt attached to it. Children up to 14 years of age, the targeted audience, enjoy the freedom that comes with it.

1.The Kidget probably can’t serve as a ______.

A. storybook             B. perfect canvas

C. musical instrument    D. television

2.We learn from the second paragraph that Kidget ______.

A. has many functions

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist “for the art of memory” with which he has “uncovered the life­world of the occupation”．

Although the 69­year­old writer is a very popular literary figure in France, he is little known elsewhere.

So who is this Patrick Modiano, why does his memory have such an influence upon him, and what exactly has he uncovered?

Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War Ⅱ ended in Europe in July 1945.His　 father was a Jewish­Italian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.

As The New Yorker magazine put it, Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war, but “not the taint(污点) of the war”．

Modiano's life has been influenced by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war, and his family's connections to it.According to New York­based newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris' Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.

“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared, the people who were made to disappear，” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine.

In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes：Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, police files, and newspaper cuttings.

His most admired novel，Missing Person, is a good example.It's the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.

Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France, people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio's 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.

1.The passage is mainly about ________.

A．a literary figure's personal affairs

B．a famous novelist's family background

C．a Nobel Prize winner and his literary achievement

D．European people's sufferings during World War Ⅱ

2.Which of the following statements about Patrick Modiano is TRUE according to the passage?

A．He is a survivor of World War Ⅱ.

B．He tried to find back his lost identity.

C．World War Ⅱ has an impact on his life.

D．He was world­famous before winning the Nobel Prize.

3.Modiano won the Nobel Prize because of ________.

A．his extraordinary character

B．his unique way of recording history

C．his characters' unusual experiences

D．his special connections to the war

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．Modiano's parents were sent to the concentration camp

B．Modiano's winning the Prize was beyond expectation

C．Modiano's father had nothing to do with the Nazis

D．Clemence Boulouque is also of Jewish origin
