18.Feet help us walk,run,dance,and jump.The wards feet and foot are also used in everyday speech.
To be under someone's feet means to be troublesome.In other words,you are standing too close to someone and are getting in their way.Some adults criticize(批评)children for being under foot.
Speaking of children,if someone says their home will soon have the pitter-patter of tiny feet,it means the family is expecting a baby!
Now,people who are active do not let grass grow under their feet.They are never in one place for very long.People who can think and take action at the same time are said to be able to think on their feet.
Some people appear to have it all.They have money,a good education,good looks,a great family and a large circle of friends.You could say they have the world at their feet.This means whatever they want seems to be there for them.
People who have both feet firmly on the ground are realistic and practical.They are not dreamy.You might say such a person is well grounded.If you are a bad dancer,you might be described as having two left feet.To dance well,it is better to have a right foot and a left foot.
Sam loves skiing.He thinks that it would be fun to own a ski resort(滑雪场)high in the mountains.But he knows nothing about running a business.So,he decides to get his feet wet.In other words,he wants to get used to a new situation.
He joins an organization for resort owners and attends their meetings.He travels to ski areas all over the United States.This helps Sam get his foot in the door.Having a foot in the door is a starting point.This expression comes from people selling things door-to-door.They would block the door with their foot so people couldn't close the door on them.

31.What would you say to someone who is"under your feet"?D
A.Oh,I'm terribly sorry.
B.Take off your feet!
C.Sorry for the trouble.
D.Excuse me,you are in the way.
32.Which of the following describes people who keep moving about?D
A.They are always under foot.
B.They can think on their feet.
C.They have the pitter-patter of tiny feet.
D.They never let grass grow under their feet.
33.What should you try to avoid if you want to succeed in doing something?A
A.Having two left feet.
B.Getting your feet wet.
C.Getting your foot in the door.
D.Having both feet firmly on the ground.
34.What do we know about Sam's new business?B
A.It's a big success.
B.It's not started yet.
C.It lies high in the mountains.
D.It opens only in winter.
35.What may be the best title for the passage?A
A.Use your feet properly.
B.Feet help us walk and run.
C.How to be a good dancer.
D.Ready for a new business.

3.1 If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,you might have a hard time believing the news:e-mail is on the decline.
At first blush,that might seem to be the case.The incoming generation,after all,doesn't do e-mail.Oh,they might have an account.They use it only as we would a fax machine:as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites.They rarely check it,though.
Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages-are more direct,more concentrated,more efficient.They go without the salutation(称呼语)and the signoff;we already know the"to"and"from."Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason:more signal,less noise and less time.This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated.Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later,I can now send you an unobtrusive,easily-consumed message that you can read-and respond to-on the go.
The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.Instantaneous(及时)written messages are different.These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any time:before a movie,in a taxi,waiting for lunch.And because these notes are invariably brief,they're a natural for smartphone typing.With these formats,you also have control over who can correspond with you,which you usually don't in e-mail.And especially on Facebook,instant messaging can take on the character of a chat room,where several people can talk at once.
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history?Not necessarily.E-mail still has certain advantages.Whereas tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them,then they're gone,into an endless string,e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file,search and return to later.It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications:agreements,important news,longer explanations.
So,e-mail won't go away completely.Remember,we've been through a transition like this not so long ago:when e-mail was on the rise,people said that postal mail was dead.That's not how it works.Postal mail found its smaller niche,and so will e-mail.Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.
E-mail down,messaging up.Now go clean out your in-box.
 
62.What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?C
A.Contact close friends
B.Send long messages
C.Fill in some forms
D.Communicate with their colleagues
63.Paragraphs 3-4 are important to the passage in that theyB.
A.illustrate the preferences of the young generation
B.explain the possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail
C.reveal the rapid development of e-communication channels
D.offer evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages
64.What does the underlined word"ephemeral"in paragraph 5 mean?D
A.Conveniently-sent          B.Randomly-written
C.Hardly readable               D.Short-lived
65.What does the author think of e-mail being replaced?A
A.Negative            B.Indifferent         C.Ambiguous        D.Doubtful.
