题目内容
9.[1]I was walking in the park with a friend recently,and his cell phone rang,interrupting our conversation.There we were,walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day.But I became in visible,absent from the conversation.[2]The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Recently I was in a car with three friends.The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone.There we were,four friends going down the highway,unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier.
[3]Why is it that the more connected we get,____________?Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction (互动).With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet,we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail,you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.
[4]More and more.l find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation.Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
[5]So I've put myself on technology restriction:no instant messaging with people who live near me,no cell-phoning in the presence of friends,no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm home.
