• 4．①One day，I took an underground to work，I saw something that made me very sad.On the tube（underground in London），a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her.The little girl，about 5 years old，was talking to her mother about her day，praising her mother's long nails—trying to catch her mother's eyes.Her mother just nodded and answered "Mm，mm" with her eyes glued to the screen，busy passing the levels of the game.I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her，but it was no use.Then the little girl turned silent.It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.
     ②It broke my heart and got me wondering—what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world，the human she created，the person she loves with all her heart？What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl？
     ③Some parents are almost like the teenagers，always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook.Perhaps parents have many things to deal with，but sometimes they are everything to their kids.
     ④This is not an isolated example.I've seen too many such examples.I might not be a parent myself，and probably still have a long way before becoming one，but I know what I saw isn't right.
     ⑤The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained（抱怨） how their children were crazy about their mobile phones.Look how the situation has changed!The parents have become "technology slaves"，that is to say，they can't control themselves while using mobile phones.Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones，which are probably the only two brands they know.They are playing the simple games with their expensive mobile phones.I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry.But my hope is that this storm passes.
  
  （1）How does the writer begin the passage？

  
  A．By telling a story.
  B．By using sayings.
  C．By raising a question.
  D．By listing numbers.
  （2）The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means

  .
  A．spreading fast
  B．happening once

  D．appearing suddenly
  （3）In the passage，the writer mainly wants to express

  .

  （4）What's the best title of the passage？
