　　Tony Bennett, the American singer recently touring Britain, can’t remember how many times he has sung his standard hit “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”．He sang it again to his audience at the London Palladium last night．

　　They have frightened some and attracted others．They are Wenlock and Mandeville, mascots of the London Olympic Games．

　　Since both of them have a camera for an eye, they are called one-eyed mascots．Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012．And they both have a taxi light on their heads, like the world-famous London black cabs．Wenlock’s head shape is meant to represent an Olympic podium and the three medals won in each event．Mandeville’s head features the three Paralympic colors．

　　Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics．People think its local games inspired Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who founded the International Olympic Committee．

　　The other mascot’s name is a reference to the village of Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympic movement began．

　　The mascots are a central part of London’s business strategy and will feature in everything from T-shirts to tea towels．No doubt they will be seen under children’s arms as their favorite toys．

　　The 2012 Committee Chairman, Sebastian Coe, said, “We want them to be part of our fan base．We want them to engage with young people．They have in large part been designed and driven by what young people want．”

　　Young fans like their mascots to come with a backstory．Children’s author Michael Morpurgo came up with the idea that the mascots origin was from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium．

　　Adults and organizers might argue but the most important audience for Wenlock and Mandeville are children．Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say：“I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!”

     Notre-Dame de Paris ( 《巴黎圣母院》 ) is one of the well- known novels written by French author
Victor Hugo. I have just finished this book.
     Reflecting on the content of the book, I am most impressed by the architecture of that time, like the
churches that represented power and luxury (奢华). It shows how great architects' appreciation of beauty
and their capacity of turning their dreams into buildings are.
     When it comes to the heroine Esmerelda, I am deeply impressed by her beauty and kindness. I love her
not only for her fascinating appearance but also because of her good mind and pitiful destiny. We can see
her pure beauty from how she treats the goat, how she saves the jobless poet, and how she sacrifices for
love. In my eyes, she is a lost angel in the world. However, all this perfect girl has received is to lead a
vagrant (漂泊的) life. She lives in a slum (贫民窟) and is often made fun of by the so-called upper class
of society. She is abandoned and threatened. In the end, Esmerelda sadly makes the decision to end her life.
     Different lifestyles are displayed in the novel, like foolish Phoebus and the ugly hunchback (驼背)
Quasimodo. A striking comparison is demonstrated (展示, 证明) between Phoebus and Quasimodo. They
both fall in love with the gypsy (吉普赛人) girl at the same time and both are refused. Their love is so
strong and sincere, while one wants to conquer and the other chooses to sacrifice.
     I think that may be the real charm of the famous novel. It tells not only a sad story, but also reveals
human beings' pursuits (追求) of love and happiness. However, not every one receives the same treatment
in search of their love and happiness. What should we do when we are faced up with the darkness and
unfairness of society? Everyone has different answers, as the characters in the novel do.

1. What is implied but not stated directly in the passage?

A. Notre-Dame de Paris was written by Victor Hugo.
B. The architecture was built with advanced building technology.
C. The churches represented power and luxury.
D. Esmerelda is so beautiful and friendly that the writer is deeply struck.

2. What's the author's attitude towards Esmerelda?

A. Criticizing and complaining.
B. Admiring and sympathetic.
C. Disappointed and upset.
D. Regretful and sad.

3. The best title of the passage may be ____.

A. My reading of Notre-Dame de Paris
B. Charming Esmerelda
C. Notre-Dame de Paris
D. Different lifestyles in the novel
