4．Riding a London subway，a person from China will notice one major difference：In London，commuters （乘车上下班的人） do not look at each other．（71）CThat's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking．
Busy doing what，you ask？Well，they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection．Nor are they reading a book．（72）BToday the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book．
（73）DSince the launch of the iPhone in 2007，over 40，000-yes，that's 40，000-"apps"（programs downloaded for the iPhone） have been designed．
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-filler．One"app"，called iShoot，is a game that features tanks．Another one，Tube Exits，tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．（74）E
For those without an iPhone，another Apple product，the iPod，may be the distraction of choice．It's not just teenagers who"plug in"to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．
And if games，e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied．Then perhaps you would prefer a film？The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work．
（75）F

A．Modern Londoner are fancy victims．
B．New technology has replaced quiet habits．
C．In fact，eye contact is avoided at all times．
D．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters．
E．You can then write the"steam"on your phone screen．
F．Technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time．
G．With this distraction，it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train．

3．I have got my hands full at the moment and badly need your help； you play computer games now，Lily？（　　）

2．A．Connect with others
B．Express yourself
C．Connect with nature
D．Become a relaxation expert
E．Think positive
F．Get enough sleep，nutrition and exercise

Everyone has feelings of anxiety，nervousness，tension，and stress from time to time．Here are five ways to help manage them．
76．D
We all think we know how to relax．But calming down in front of the TV or computer isn't true relaxation．Depending on what you're watching or doing，it could even make you more tense．The same is true for alcohol，drugs，or tobacco．They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress，but it's a false state of relaxation that's only temporary．What the body really needs is a relaxation technique---like deep breathing，tai chi，or yoga---that has a physical effect on the mind．For example，deep breathing helps to relax a major nerve that runs from the diaphragm to the brain，sending a message to the entire body to let go and loosen up．
77．F
Want your mind and body to feel peaceful and strong enough to handle life's ups and downs？Get the right amount of sleep for your needs---not too much or too little．Eat well---choose fruit，vegetables，lean proteins，and whole grains for long-term energy，instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine．And exercise to send oxygen to every cell in the body so your brain and body can operate at their best．
78．A
Spend time with friends or family．Organized activities are great，but just hanging out works too．Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds，allowing us to feel supported and secure．And the fun and sharing that go with it allow us to feel happier and less upset about things．If you feel worried or nervous about something，talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able to deal with it．You'll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes．You're not alone．
79．C
Heading out for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods can help anyone feel peaceful．Choose somewhere you feel safe so you can relax and enjoy your surroundings．Walking，hiking，biking，or snowshoeing can offer the additional benefit or exercise．Invite a friend or two---or a family member---along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well．
80．E
A great way to keep our minds off the worry track is to focus our thoughts on things that are good，beautiful，and positive．Allow yourself to dream，wish，and imagine the best that could happen．

17．I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job，credit，success．I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else，all of us separately chasing the same thing．
One year，through a series of unhappy events，it all fell apart．I found myself homeless and alone．I had my truck and﹩56．I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount．I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley．I hadn't been alone for 25years．I was scared，but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me．
I found the owner and rented the place for﹩50a month．The locals knew nothing about me．But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor．They dropped off blankets，tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat．They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing．They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream，not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness．Men would stop by with wild berries，ice cream，truck parts to see if I needed some．The women on that mountain worked harder than any I'd ever met．They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe．I learned to keep enough for an extra plate for company．
What I had believed in，all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life，were non-existent in this place．Up on the mountain，my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors．
After four years in that valley，I moved back into town．I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time，losing their jobs and homes．With the help of a real estate broker（房地产经纪人） I chatted up at the grocery store，I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people．It's four of us now，but over time I've had nine come in and move on to other places from here．We'd all be in shelters if we hadn't banded together．
The American dream I believe in now is a shared one．It's not so much about what I can get for myself； it's about how we can all get by together．

A．had a well-paid job                 B．worked hard for his American dream

59．The writer mainly tells us aboutD．
A．his unhappy experiences                 B．the friendly people in the valley
