　　After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student． An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him． I agreed．

　　During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew． He had mus-cular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症) , When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten． Now he was thirteen． He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dream．

　　I spent over an hour talking to Matthew． Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams． Obviously, he knew what he was talking about． He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was differ-ent． He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me．

　　When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck． I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and over-coming obstacles than I ever would． He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me． He said, “You are a champion． You earned that medal． Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you． ”

　　Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away． They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before

　　Dear Rick ,

　　My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me． 1 also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that 1 don ‘t have long to live anymore． But I still smile as much as 1 can．

　　I told you someday 1 was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal． But I know now I will never get to do that． But I know 1 ‘m a champion , and God knows that too． When I get to Heaven , God will give me my medal and when you get there , I will show it to you． Thank you for loving me．

Your friend ,

Matthew

　　When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”． Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology．

　　Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic． My daughter comes home from school at 4：00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day． If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

　　Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone． “The mobile saved my life , ” says Crystal Johnstone． She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton． Trapped inside , she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to her rescue．

　　Point 3 The mobile removes our secrets． It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch , Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, any how their last meeting went．

　　Point 4 The telephone separates us． Antonella Bramante in Rome says , “ We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window． It was easy to get his number． We were so near－but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

　　Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives． Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does． I wouldn’t know what to talk about)． We can talk across the world． We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking． And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can use the Internet, the biggest library on the Earth．

1．What does the writer mean by saying “The telephone creates the need to communicate”?

[　　]

A．People don’t communicate without telephone．

B．People communicate because of the creating of the telephone．

C．People have communicated more since the telephone was created．

D．People communicate more because of more traffic．

2．Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

[　　]

A．Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency．

B．Mobile phones bring convenience as well as no secret to people．

C．Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged．

D．Mobile phones encourage people to waste time in chatting．

3．Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a． Point 1． b． Point 2． c． Point 3． d． Point 4． e． Point 5．

[　　]

4．It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously

[　　]

A．on the TV screen

B．with a computer

C．on chat lines

D．by telephone

5．The best title for the passage is

A．Views on Telephones

B．Kinds of Phone

C．How to Use Phones

D．Advantages of Phones
