1 . “The Last Dance”, the documentary (纪录片), told the story of Michael Jordan and his success with the Chicago Bulls .We learned a lot about Michael Jordan.We took behind - the - scenes glimpses (一瞥) at what it’s like to compete in the NBA .We were given a glimpse into the 90s basketball era (时代) at a time when almost no sports are being played .But it also meant something for our culture, experts say.

Dr.Josh Shuart, the director of sport management at the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology at Sacred Heart University (Connecticut), told the Deseret News that the documentary showed something important for our modern society.Watching “The Last Dance” gave us something to look forward to during a time when there’s nothing else going on, he said.“Why is it important and why did people watch it? The latter is simple: with the absence of live sports of any kind, it was probably the single most interesting thing on TV,” Shuart said in an email to the Deseret News.

Michael Jordan matters for sports culture, too.Jordan set the standard when it came to connecting sportsmen to brands (品牌) and brands to sportsmen .Sportsmen can take care of their brand during their careers (职业生涯) and even after they stop doing sports .Shaquille O ' Neal is an example, Shuart said.The Los Angeles Lakers star - though highly celebrated for his basketball career一has built post-basketball success through business chances .

2 . Top attractions in Florence

One of the wealthiest cities during the Italian Renaissance, Florence is home to classical works of art, historic architecture and natural beauty. Here are the top 4 attractions in Florence.

♦ Duomo—Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore

ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze

PHONE: +39-55-2302885

Florence's most popular site is Duomo(cathedral). Construction of the Duomo began in 1296. Inside the Duomo, there are dozens of paintings and sculptures of great historical and cultural significance, so give yourself some time to take it all in. The main attraction of this massive structure is Brunelleschi's Dome, a masterpiece of architecture. You'll definitely want to buy a ticket to climb the 463 steps to its top.

♦ Galleria degli Uffizi

ADDRESS: Piazzale degli Uffizi, 6, 50122 Firenze

PHONE: +39-55-2388651

The Galleria degli Uffizi holds the world’s most important collection of Renaissance art, as well as thousands of paintings from medieval to modern times. Artists whose works you'll see include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, and Raphael. Having all these artists' works in one place means you'll want to allow plenty of time to fully appreciate all of them. The Uffizi is Italy's most crowded museum so it's a good idea to buy tickets ahead to avoid long ticket lines.

♦ Campanile—Bell Tower

ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze

PHONE: +39-55-2302885

Construction of the Campanile (Italian for “hell tower”) began in 1334. Inside the Campanile are detailed relief carvings and sculptures. If you climb the 414 stairs (there's no elevator in this Gothic tower), you'll be rewarded not only with great views of the Cathedral and its dome hut of Florence and the surrounding area.

♦ Ponte Vecchio

ADDRESS: Ponte Vecchio, 50125 Firenze

PHONE: +39-55-294290

The Ponte Vecchio (old bridge), built in 1345, was Florence's first bridge across the Arno River.

3 . This is what HBO’s Veep has been trying to do—by making US presidential election into a comedy.

Presented for the first time in 2012, Veep follows the daily life of Selina Meyer, the fictional vice-president (or “Veep” for short) of the US. We see that as much as Meyer wants to have an influence, she—despite being the second-in-command of the country—is constantly ignored by the president and kept away from important meetings. Meyer herself isn’t exactly competent: she has to put out political fires every once in a while but usually ends up making things worse.

The show also finds humor in a much darker side of politics: the unreal smiles and wrongdoings of politicians. When a mass shooting happens in the show, for example, instead of feeling shocked, Meyer is actually glad, because she feels it may help draw people’s attention from her. “It feels like peeking (窥视) behind a curtain and seeing the truth of who these politicians really are,” wrote reporter Kathryn VanArendonk.

But Veep is refreshing not just for the way it handles politics, but also because its leading role is a woman politician, especially in a comedy, considering the fact that comedies used to be an all-male kingdom. “There’s more opportunity (机会) for women in comedic roles than 20 or 30 years ago,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 58 this year, who plays Meyer, said. “There’s more opportunity for roles that are not just the angry wife or the cute girlfriend.”

In the 7th and final season of Veep, which came out on March 31, 2019, Meyer is finally running for president. No matter where the show—and Meyer—is heading, and whether you appreciate its way to deal with politics, the bottom line here is that Veep is funny.

1. Which of the following best describes Meyer?
A.Hardworking and demanding.B.Humorous and influential.
C.Ambitious but untalented.D.Educated but lazy.
2. How old was Julia Louis Dreyfus when Veep’s first season came out?
A.49.B.51.
C.53.D.58.
3. What can know about women according to Julia Louis ---Dreyfus?
A.They are fit for politics.
B.They don’t like comedies.
C.They were left out of some fields.
D.They seldom used to be successful.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A.Meyer runs for presidentB.Politics can be funny
C.Women like powerD.A comedian realizes her dream
