B
As Apple's long awaited iPhone X hit shelves around the world, Samsung's newest ad uses the opportunity to make a mockery of the last 10 years of iPhone products. __①__
Samsung's latest advertisement, released through the pany's YouTube channel, highlights how apparently late to the game Apple has been with each version of the iPhone over the last decade as pared to other smartphones, from waterproofing to the headphone jack. __②__
The video follows a character upgrading his Apple iPhone each year, and each year continuing to miss out on features like water­proofing, the headphone jack and more, as he pares to Samsung models that do have these features ahead of the iPhone.
Apple's iPhone X notch(V型切口) has been widely criticized by tech experts, who have called the design “odd” and “ridiculous.” The reason for the peculiar design is to acmodate a front­facing camera and facial­recognition technology in a device that Apple advertises as “all screen.”
__③__ In 2016, the South Korean firm made fun of its rival's phones as it launched the Galaxy Note 7, zeroing in on the lack of a headphone jack (which many Apple customers plained about). To go back even further, Samsung released videos on YouTube in 2014 and in a 2013 Superbowl teaser also, mocking Apple smartphones and watches.
The new Galaxy Note 8 by Samsung launched well before the Apple iPhone X, and es with two rear cameras with two OIS, a much bigger 6.3­inch OLED full display with 18：9 aspect ratio, It also has a much bigger battery than Apple's iPhone X—although Samsung doesn't like to talk too much about batteries, given the fiasco with the Galaxy Note 7.
__④__ Apple may not be too troubled by the mockery conveyed by the Samsung's advertisement: the new iPhone is already sold out, and reports of strong demand around the world have driven the pany's stock to new all­time highs in recent days. And, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery(恭维): a new trial has been ordered to determine how much Samsung should pay Apple for copying the look of the iPhone.
There's another irony to this battle: Samsung has a vested(既定的) interest in the iPhone X's success, given that Samsung supplies the OLED display, NAND flash and the DRAM chips in the iPhone.
(　　)58. Where should the sentence “The ad is not Samsung's first offence against Apple.” be placed in the passage?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
(　　)59. The underlined word “fiasco” in paragraph 6 means ________．
A. privilege B. creativity C. disaster D. suspension
(　　)60. According to the passage, which of the following statements may the writer be in favor of?
A. Samsung's latest advertisement is nothing more than a made­up story.
B. Different versions of the iPhone have always taken the lead in waterproofing.
C. Samsung's new Galaxy Note 8 copied the look of the Apple iPhone X.
D. Samsung is likely to develop better through cooperation with Apple.

petition is an ideology(意识形态) that spreads all over our society and misleads our thinking. But it means no profits for anybody, no meaningful differentiation, and a struggle for survival. We advocate petition, see it as necessary, and set its laws; and as a result, we trap ourselves within it—the more we pete, the less we gain.
Our educational system both drives and reflects our craze for petition. Grades alone are precise measurement of each student's petitiveness; pupils with the highest marks receive status and credits. And it gets worse as students rise to higher levels of the tournament. Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce petition with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking. For the privilege of being turning into conformists (顺从者), students (or their families) pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in rapidly rising tuition. Why are we doing this to ourselves?
I wish I had asked myself when I was younger. My path was so tracked that in my 8th­grade yearbook, one of my friends predicted—accurately—that four years later I would en
