15．A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolutions：we stopped talking to one another．
  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 and…I became invisible（看不见的），absent from the conversation．
  The telephone used to connect you to the absent．Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent．Why is it that the more connected we get，the more disconnected I feel？Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction．With email 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．If my mom has a question，I just leave the answer on her machine．
  As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated，we are now feeling more distant from one another．You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more．Directory assistance is almost always fully automated．
  I am not against modern technology．I own a cell phone，an ATM card，a voice mail system，and an email account．Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to use．It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy．
  More and more I 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．
  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 at home．

12．"Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice．Gifts are easy--they're given after all．Choices can be hard．"--Jeff Bezos．
I got the idea to start Amazon 16years ago．I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2，300percent per year．I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast，and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me．I had just turned 30years old，and I'd been married for a year．I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't，and I wasn't sure what to expect．MacKenzie told me I should go for it．As a young boy，I'd been a garage inventor．I'd always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion．
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people，and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired．I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet．He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，"That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job．"That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48hours before making a final decision．Seen in that light，it really was a difficult choice，but ultimately （最后），I decided I had to give it a shot．I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing．And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all．
After much consideration，I took the less safe path to follow my passion，and I'm proud of that choice．For all of us，in the end，we are our choices．

25．What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore？C

B．He would be very excited if he tried it out．
C．He would be always having a doubt if he didn't try．
D．The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him．

19．Animals are a favorite subject of many photographers．Cats，dogs，and other pets top the list，followed by zoo animals．However，because it's hard to get them to sit still and"perform on command，"some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets．
One way to get a nice picture of a cat or a dog is to hold some delicious food above the camera．The animal's longing look toward the food will be captured （捕捉） by the camera，but the food won't appear in the picture because it's out of the camera's range．When you show the picture to your friends afterwards，they'll be impressed by your pet's loving expression．
If you are using fast film，you can take some good，quick shots of a pet by simply snapping （抓拍） a picture right after calling its name．You'll get a different expression from your pet using this technique．Depending on your pet's mood，the picture will capture an interested，curious expression or possibly a look of   annoyance，especially if you've awakened it from a nap．
Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more patience．After all，you can't wake up a lion!You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot．When photographing zoo animals，don't get too close to the cages，and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage； Concentrate on shooting some good pictures，and always respect the animals you are photographing．

61．Why do some professional photographers refuse to take pictures of pets？A
A．Pets may not follow orders．
B．Pets don't want to be bothered．
C．Pets may not like photographers．
D．Pets seldom change their expressions．
62．What is the use of food in taking pictures of a pet？A
A．To capture a nice look．
B．To create a special atmosphere．
C．To prevent the animal from getting hungry．
D．To keep the pet from looking at the camera．
63．The underlined word"annoyance"in Paragraph 3is closest in meaning toC．
A．joy   B．pain  C．anger   D．interest

A．You need to have fast film．
B．You need special equipment．
C．You need to stay close to the animals．
D．You need more time to watch and wait．
9．Sometimes the things that we believe are holding our families together really aren't．Need proof？Let me share our story．My family is a fairly typical American foursome．Ten years ago，we moved into our dream house-a big，three-story historic home-thinking it would bring us the joy we desired．It was a beautiful place，but as our children grew up，our sense of togetherness began to fade away．In the big dream house，we scattered in different directions．
One day when my daughter，Hannah，was 14，she became upset about the differences between the world's haves and the have-nots．She challenged us to be"a family that makes a difference in the world，even if it's a small difference．"My wife，Joan，asked her，"What are you willing to sacrifice？Your house？Your room？"Hannah said yes to both．After talking it over as a family，we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price-and donate the money to charity．
First，we needed to figure out where our money would go，a process that took about a year．We finally chose The Hunger Project，a U．S．-based nonprofit that works with villagers in Africa，Asia and South America and helps them move from poverty to self-reliance．
Before we downsized，we were a little worried．Had we made too big a sacrifice？Two years later，I can tell you：It's the best move we have ever made．
As we worked together on our family project，those interconnected moments became more frequent．The more we shared，the more we laughed，teased and bonded．As Hannah said the other day，"We learned how to really trust each other．"
We don't expect anyone else to copy what we did and sell their home．But most people can find some commodity in their lives they could give up，whether it's time （halving the hours of TV you watch each week and volunteering instead？） or stuff （donating half the clothes in your closet？）．Like us，your family could set out to make a small difference in the world-and transform yourselves in the process．

51．Why couldn't the dream house bring the author the happiness as he had expected？A
A．Because the happy family feeling of closeness became less strong．
B．Because the dream house was too big for his family．
C．Because his children didn't like the dream house at all．
D．Because his children have grown up and want to be independent．
52．According to the second paragraph，HannahC．
A．showed no concern about the poor
B．was unwilling to give up her house
C．was a very sympathetic person

16．A month after Hurricane Katrina，I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house，reduced to waist-high rains，smelly and dirty．
Before the trip，I'd had my car fixed．When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill，she noticed my Louisiana license plate．"You from New Orleans？"she asked．I said I was，"No charge．"She said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．The next day I went for a haircut，and the same thing happened．
As my wife was studying in Florida，we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage（抵押贷款） on our ruined house．We looked at many places，but none was satisfactory．We'd began to accept that we'd have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while，when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California．He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for state，the online magazine and wanted to give us （"no conditions attached"） a new house across the lake from New Orleans．It sounded a good to her return，but I replied，thinking him for his exceptional generosity，then we to go back．Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me．While he want to England on his one year，paid leave．The rent was rather reasonable．I mentioned the poet's offer to James Kennedy，and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months．
Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity．It's almost worth losing you wordy possessions to be reminded that people really when given had a channel．

44．The garage employee's attitude toward the author was that of．B

13．As I sit at home thinking about my upcoming adventure and the things I need to bring，it makes me even more excited to begin my travel．I will be making my way around the world．
The first places on the list are Andalusia and Africa in the book The Alchemist．I will need to pack a lot of things and make sure I have enough money to provide myself with food and enough to drink．The Sahara desert is always hot and requires plenty of water．
Next I will head to Mexico in the book Born to Run，where I will meet the Tarahumara Indian tribe（部落）．I will need to get into shape and do some jogging（慢跑） if I want to keep up with them．I will have to pack my running shoes，though，because the Tarahumarans have mastered the art of running on the tough land．
After Mexico，my journey takes me to the Egyptian desert in the novel The Paris Vendetta．There I hope to help uncover an ancient conspiracy （阴谋） that goes back centuries．Just like my trip to Andalusia，I will have to make sure I have plenty of water．Packing the Camelbak products seems like the best idea，so I will have enough on hand at all times．I expect this adventure to be quite interesting，and I am very excited about it．
Lastly，I will make my way back to America in the book Shattered：Struck Down，But Not Destroyed．This makes me feel excited because like the main character in the book，I also wanted to become a professional athlete when I was younger．For this trip，I will go with an open mind and hopefully meet some friends along the way．
