I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring??free life.

Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high??tech, in??a??hurry age, a cell??free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.

I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone，an e??mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out，people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7？However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.

Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.

“Where have you been？” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.

I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.

61. What does the underlined phrase “toss away” mean?

A. give away B. get away C. break away D. throw away

you want. Getting a car did 36 this for me, and it also brought my best friend and me

37 . But then it tore us apart (分开).

My best friend lives three minutes from my 38 . Since her 39 is in late summer,

seven months behind mine, I seemed to become her 40 when I turned 16 in December.

And so I 41 her up for school and took her home. We made ice-cream 42 , went shopping and to the movies―all in my car. I would drive to her house just to sit on her bed, read magazines and have a good laugh. I went to her house so 43 that she gave me a key

44 her house.

A week after I began to drive，she was with me 45 I had my first accident. She was there and 46 me and we kept it a 47 , since I didn’t want people to 48 . From then on, through thick and thin (共患难), it was just me , my car and my best friend.

High school is a time of 49 , but I couldn’t 50 for a long time 51 we became so distant now. Finally, my friend got her dream car：a green 2004 Beetle. With its

52 , the passenger seat of my car became 53 . Our car trips became less frequent

54 I didn’t even drive down her street.

“HEARTLESS”— a word you wouldn’t want to use to describe a person. But having his heart removed was what saved Craig Lewis’ life—and what made him the first living “heartless” man.

The 55-year-old，dying of heart disease，was told he only had 12 hours to live， when Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier, doctors from the Texas Heart Institute, decided to try something new. They removed Lewis heart and replaced it with an artificial (人造的) one. Less than a week after the operation, Lewis was able to sit and speak.

Lewis kept on living like a normal person, with only one difference—he didn’t have a heartbeat. The human heart usually pumps blood through our bodies by beating regularly. By contrast, this artificial heart pushes the blood forward with two moving blades(桨叶). If you were to touch Lewis or listen to his chest, you would not feel a heartbeat. If you hooked him up to an EKG(心电图) machine, the line would be flat.

Scientists have been trying to create a working artificial heart for years. Until now, all artificial hearts either broke down or caused blocks and infections.

But after five years of hard work, Dr Cohn and Dr Frazier developed this artificial heart. It is smaller and quieter than other artificial hearts and can last much longer. They tested it on 38 calves (牛犊) and all of them turned out energetic and healthy. Lewis is the first human proof that the machine is a success.

The doctors will have to work more on the device and decide on a final design before it can be widely used. The US Food and Drug Administration will also need to say that the machine is safe. But this artificial heart looks likely to bring a ray of hope to thousands of patients.
