19.Walking through the park one day,I passed some children selling hot chocolate.One girl asked,"Would you like to help support our park?It's only 50cents a cup."Of course,I couldn't help being extraordinarily (41)C that kids showed great interest in (42)D their community.They were having great (43)A pouring hot chocolate and feeling proud that they were helping  a local cause.It seems that they(44)D grasped a basic idea about helping others:It feels (45)A.

13.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.

45.The underlined word"allure"in Paragraph 2probably meansB.
A.advantage    
B.attraction    
C.adaption    
D.attempt

A.attract people to buy their products   
B.provide the latest information
C.improve people's quality of life    
D.deal with cultural diseases
47.It can be inferred from this passage that peopleD.
A.consider too much technology wonderful   
B.have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C.can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D.may enjoy life better without overused technology

A.Neutral.
B.Sceptical.
C.Disapproving.
D.Sympathetic.

"Yup,I'm doing quite well,too."Bufkins said.
"Then why am I working in a department store?"Mrs.Bufkins demanded.
"Oh,are you still working in a department store?If I had known that,I would have told you to quit last year.You should have mentioned it."Bufkins said.
There was more dead silence.Finally Henry said,"Hey,you want to hear me play the guitar?"
"You know how to play the guitar?Say,didn't I have a daughter who played the guitar?"
"That was Susie.She got married a year ago,just about the time you were watching the World Cup."Mrs.Bufkins said.

10.Gimmicky-and expensive-new gloves allow chatterboxes to take the term‘handsfree'to a new level-by talking into them as they make a call.
The gloves are known as‘Talk to the Hand'and cost£1.000a pair.
They come with a speaker unit embedded(嵌入)into the thumb and a microphone built into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget(小机件)recycling.He combines gloves with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2,which commissioned the project.
Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking   their phone out of their pocket or handbag.
Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves-one in pink and the other in brown and   yellow.They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves.If demand is high,they will then be produced on a larger scale.
O2Recycle,which backs the project,estimates that there are already 70million unused   mobile handsets in the UK.The service pays those who recycle gadgets including phones,MP3   players and digital cameras.
Designer Scan Miles,hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling.The 41-year-old said:"I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get people to think again about   the waste created by not recycling gadgets.If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather   than send them to landfill(垃圾场),I think this project will have fulfilled its aim."
The Talk to the Hand mobile phone gloves are the second product in a series that O2  Recycle and Miles have created.Miles is now working on combining phones with handbags-so people don't spend time rummaging(翻查)around in their bags to find a phone when it rings.

61.For what purpose is the text written?B
A.To show the harmfulness of old handsets.
B.To introduce Sean Miles'new designs.
C.To warn people not to throw electronic waste.
D.To ask more people to join O2Recycle.
62.What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?A
A.How the new gloves are designed.    B.What the gloves are made of.

17.It was a precious moment.
We were driving along one day when my son said,"Mommy!"I,not paying much attention,said,"What?"He said,"Look at me!"When I looked (21)A,my heart leaped,for my little four-year-old son was trying his best to wink (眨眼) at me.
