20．Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices，while driving，walking，shopping，even sitting in toilets．When connected electronically，they are away from physical reality．
People have been influenced to become technology addicted．One survey reported that"addicted"was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices．One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep，cigarettes and alcohol．
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products，not to actually improve our quality of life．They have successfully created a cultural disease．Consumers willingly give up their freedom，money and time to catch up on the latest information，to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern．
I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology，where they serve technology more than technology serves them．I call this technology servitude．I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money．
What is a healthy use of technology devices？That is the vital question．Who is really in charge of my life？That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology．When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week，then we can regain control and personal freedom，become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology．Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that"too much of a good thing is wonderful．"But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology．
Richard Fernandez，an executive coach at Google acknowledged that"we can be swept away by our technologies．"To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology．

63．The underlined word"allure"in Paragraph 2probably meansB．
A．advantage         B．attraction  
C．adaption          D．attempt
64．From the passage，technology companies aim toA．

C．can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D．may enjoy life better without overused technology

18．Every year in the first week of my English class，some students inform me that writing is too hard．They never write，unless assignments require it．（36）CHow awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it-especially English，with its rich vocabulary．（37）FWhen I meet students who think they can't write，I know，as a teacher my mission is to show them the rest of the rooms．（38）AAlso，I need to provide the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance the moral and emotional development of my students．One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day．
（39）B Writing needs to be done daily，just like exercise； just as muscles grow stronger with exercise，writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily．I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing．
（40）GWhen my students practice journal writing，they are practicing for their future academic，political，and emotional lives．They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel，or the perfect love letter etc．Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step daily to fluency，eloquence（雄辩），and command of the language．

E．A teacher's task is to help the students build confidence in themselves．

G．Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students．
8．What would you do if you failed？
Have you ever been asked about this question"What would you do if you failed？"Then，what's your answer？Many people may choose （61）to give（give） up．However，the wise way of achieving success is to keep your direction （62）and stick to your goal．On your way （63）to success，you must keep your direction．It is just like a lamp，guiding you in darkness and （64）helping（help） you overcome obstacles on your way．Otherwise，you will （65）easily（easy） get lost or hesitate to go ahead．
Direction （66）means（mean）objectives．You can go nowhere without an objective in life．
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some （67）plans （plan） to achieve it．（68）only  in this way will you know how to arrange （69）your（you） time and to spend your time properly．And you should also have a belief （70）that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time．
3．Most people make a donation if they want to help those in need．And they hope that if they join demonstrations or hand out leaflets，they'll make others aware of the terrible conditions some people face．But 47-year-old British comedian，Eddie Izzard，did something completely different．He decided to raise money by running 1，100 miles through England，Wales，Northern Ireland and Scotland．And he managed to raise more than£200，000!
    How long did it take him to run 1，100 miles？Believe it or not，it took him just 51 days．For six days out of every seven he ran at least 26 miles．In other words，he ran 43 marathons in less than two months，before he finished in great style and pouring rain in London's Trafalgar Square!
    When asked how he felt，he told the BBC that he was planning to"sleep for a week"．He thanked the people who had waited for him in Trafalgar Square despite the rain．They had all come to support him and to applaud his incredible achievement．
    And the comedian admitted that his journey was pretty painful．He had to have his feet bandaged every day but still lost several of his toenails，and he had blisters （水泡）all over his feet．He wouldn't have been able to do what he did if he hadn't taken ice baths for his legs at the end of each day．These baths helped to"stop your legs inflating to twice the size of an elephant"，as Eddie commented．
    People who have no idea about running and experts alike are impressed with what he has achieved．Andy Dixon，editor of Runner's World，a magazine for long-distance runners，says，"Covering 26 miles in a day at whatever speed for 43 runs，it's demanding．A five-hour marathon is fairly decent pace．It's a massive achievement．
So，how did he do it？Well，when he decided to run，he wasn't even particularly fit．He ran his marathons slowly at first．Ten hours a day to begin with and，as he got fitter，he got faster．In the end he was finishing in just over five hours．But fitness alone was not enough．What was more important was the fact that he wanted to make a difference to other people's lives．
    What Eddie Izzard did was so special that the documentary of his run has been made into an inspiring film：Believe!"You've got to believe you can be something else，"Eddie says in the film．"I've done that a few times．That's why I keep going．"

20．While other students were taking part in workshops or planning baths for their pets on a typical Thursday morning，I spent mine doing an internship（实习）at Western Massachusetts Labor Action，a non-profit organization that helps low-income members of society．
Upon arriving there，I didn't know what to expect．Do people just come in and ask for food？Is there more paperwork or in-the-field action？This opportunity，however，helped me to answer my questions．
One morning，while my partner and I were doing the office work，our supervisor（主管）called us into his office to listen to a conversation on the phone．
On the other end of the line，a 65-year-old man living in a nearby town said desperately that their electricity company was shutting off his heat due to his debt issues．"You are my last hope．Otherwise，my family and I will have a very hard time surviving the cold winter，"the man said，his voice losing contro1．Hearing this terrible news，my supervisor frowned，but told him，"Don't worry．I'11 do everything I can to help you．"Then he quickly called the electricity company．
After a long negotiation，my supervisor managed to give the 65-year-old man a debt    repayment（偿付）system，which meant that he could pay off his debt a little bit per month．He was calling to tell the man the good news when the man suddenly shouted that he was having a heart attack．My partner and I just looked at each other and kept silent．After seconds that felt like hours，the man told us that it was a false alarm and that he was all right．
I was amazed at this man and his family's situation，but was even more impressed that my supervisor had saved them from a hardship like a whole winter without heat．My supervisor was a superhero!From that moment on，I have had great respect for all forms of community service and felt thankful that I could be a part of it-giving back what I have to the community and helping others achieve happiness．
