Why India’s ‘Pink City’ is a
Photographer’s
Heaven
The
city of Jaipur is one of India’s wonders. It
__31__ some of the country’s most decorative royal
palaces
—
elegant
structures designed hundreds of years ago that
still attract visitors today. Largely built in
the
1700s,
Jaipur
is
surrounded
by
a
city
wall
and
several
__32__
castles.
Considered
as
a
commercial
center, it was
ahead of its time due to the use of
grid iron
（网格状
）
city
planning.
A
romantic
dusty
pink
type
—
which
has
__33__
the
city
since
1876,
after
it
was
painted
pink
to
welcome
Queen
Victoria’s
husband,
Prince
Albert—
gives
Jaipur
its
__34
__
as
the
“Pink
City”.
This
__35__
beauty
is
what
first
brought
Hong
Kong-based
photographers Victor
Cheng
and Samantha
Wong to Jaipur.
Walking in glass skyscrapers for
century-old royal palaces and historic castles,
the pair
—
who have
130,000 Instagram followers between
them
—
said that the images
they __36__ in Jaipur received a lot of
response online. “A lot of
our followers hadn’t seen
this side of
India, so
we’re
happy
we
were able to
show this side of the
country.” Cheng said.
For
the
photographers,
one
of
the
city’s
most
fascinating
fe
atures
is
the
light
pink
coloring
of
its
buildings. “The first gates you see
when you enter are pink,” said Wong. “Once you’re
through, everything
around you varies
in different __37__ of the color
—from
bright pinks to reddish browns.”
The
building
is
a(n)
__38__
of
the
City
Palace,
and
its
windows
allowed royal
women
to
observe
street life without
appearing in public. One of Cheng’s most striking
photos shows a straight f
ront of the
building and its hundreds of windows.
The building’s lively coloring also pushed Cheng
to take a different
__39__ to editing
than with images of other cities. “I toned down my
usual editing process because the
pink
was so bright in reality,” he
said, “I wanted the photos to
__
40__ the actual color I was seeing
myself
and to maintain its
tone.”

Reading Comprehension

Directions:
For each blank
in the following passages 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.
Concerns
about
the
harm
caused
by
“too
much”
screen
time—
particularly
when
it
is
spent
on
social
media
—are widespread. But
working out what a “healthy” __41__ might be is
far from easy.
Some negative
experiences on social
media
—
like __42__ how your
appearance compares to
others
—
do
affect
some children. However, this does not mean that
technology use in __43__ is harmful and it is
difficult
to make claims about how it
will affect different people.
Consider
the
picture
painted
by
a UNICEF
review
of
existing
research into
the
effects
of
digital
technology
on
children’s
__44__
comfort,
including
hap
piness,
mental
health
and
social
life.
Rather
than
stating that social media was harmful,
it suggested a more __45__ effect.
The
UNICEF
report
highlighted
a
2017
study that
examined
120,000
UK
15-year-olds.
Among
those
teenagers who were the lightest users,
it was found that increasing the time spent using
technology was linked
to
__46__
comfort
—
possibly
because
it
was
important
for
keeping
up
friendships.
__47__,
among
the
heaviest users of technology, any
increase in time was linked to lower levels of
comfort. Overall, the UNICEF
study
suggested that some screen time could be good for
children’s mental health.
A
broader look at evidence provided by some other
high quality studies again suggests the story is
not
__48__.
An
early
study
in
2013
looked
at
how
the television
and
video
game
habits
of
11,000
UK
five-year-olds affected
them two years later. It is one of few studies
actually __49__ the effects of technology
over time. It suggested that, compared
with children who watched one hour of television
or less on a weekday,
a small increase
in conduct problems was seen among those who
watched more than three hours each day.
Playing electronic games, however, was
not seen as leading to a greater __50__ of
friendship or emotional
problems.
So how much time should our children
spend looking at screens? It is difficult to be
__51__ as different
people spend time
online in such different ways. A useful comparison
might be with sugar. Broadly speaking,
people __52__ that too much sugar can
be bad for your health. But the effect it might
have can depend on
many factors, from
the type of sugar to the person and the amount. We
would not __53__ trust anyone who
claims
to
predict
how
someone
is
affected
by
consuming
one
gram
of
sugar.
The
same
could
be
said
for
__54__ usage: the outcomes depend on so
many factors that only very __55__ predictions are
possible.
