At first I her. So I didn’t know what to call her.——青夏教育精英家教网—

Mrs Turner’s telephone number was 3463, and the number of the cinema in town was 3464. People often made mistakes and telephoned her when they actually wanted the cinema.
One evening the telephone rang and Mrs Turner answered it. A tired man’s voice came over the phone, “At what time does your latest film begin?”
“I’m sorry”, said Mrs Turner, “but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.” “Oh, it began twenty minutes ago?” said the man. “ I am sorry about that. Well, good-bye.” Mrs Turner was very surprised, so she told her husband. He laughed and said, “No, that wasn’t a mistake. The man’s wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard him, but she didn’t hear you. Now they will stay at home this evening, and the husband will be happy.”
小题1: When the tired man telephoned Mrs Turner by mistake at first, she was ____

Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said "I love you" to me, 26 . Maybe it's a Chinese cultural thing, or maybe that's the way my dad was. But whenever I felt 27 , sad or lonely, dad was always there. Dad was a man of few 28 , but I always liked to talk to him, and I could always feel a very special connection to him.

　 When I was in high school, dad retired and 29 a food stand（摊位）on the street near my school. Dad was very good at making fried noodles, and a lot of people liked his noodles. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really 30_ talking to dad in front of his food stand, 31 I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!

　 One night, I couldn't 32 it any more and shouted, "Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!" At that moment, dad was shocked. He tried to say 33 but didn't. When he 34 his head away, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget 35 the rest of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad 36 . My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such a fool , and even today I still feel _37 for that night.

Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I've visited home, dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off 38 at the railway station. Whenever mom was calling me, dad would sit 39 her with a list of questions. He would ask mom to talk to me for him. That's the way dad is, and that's 40 dad shows his love to me.

Dad is still quiet, but I still feel a connection. —"a silent father's love."

A little while later, I 38 that two students were not listening to me.1 went to see what was going on. I was surprised to find that they were playing games! The two students were playing so excitedly that I decided not to __39 them.

I started playing the game, too, and asked one of them to have a(n) 40 with me. At this moment the whole class got together 41 us and started backing me up, saying: "TEACHER! TEACHER! TEAC.HER!" Their shouting was too loud, but I couldn't realize that because of my full attention to the game. Then I jumped 42 in the air saying: "YES!I DID IT!I WON THE RACE!"

I turned to see the headmaster looking with round 43 at me.1 was embarrassed（尴尬的）and didn't know what to say. Then he said, "What an interesting listening class!" After the class, he asked me to go to his room and started blaming me for what I had done. My face was all 44 .

     When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer,
the TV or her boyfriend, she said "the phone". Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which
makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
     Point l. The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more
traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to
the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist (存在), would she have
anything to talk about?
      Point 2. The mobile phone means that we are never alone. "The mobile saved my life," says Crystal
Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she
managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to her rescue.
      Point 3. The mobile removes our secrets. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen,
to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going,
and how their last meeting went.
     Point 4. The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, "We worked in separate offices
but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near, but we didn't meet
for the first two weeks!"
     Point 5. The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete
strangers at the same time on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We
can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts while they're space-walking. And, with the phone
line connected with the computer, we can aceess (进入) the Intemet, the biggest library on Earth.

1. How do you understand Point l- "The telephone creates the need to communicate"?

A. People don't communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

2. Which of the following best shows people's attitude towards mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones can help to save people's lives.
B. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
C. Mobile phones bring convenience (便利) as well as few secrets to people.
D. Mobile phones can be used to talk to astronauts while they're space-walking.

3. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people's life'?

A. Point 3 and Point 4.
B. Point 4 and Point 5.
C. Point l and Point 3.
D. Point 2 and Point 5.

4. The best title for the passage would be _______.

A. Influence of Phones
B. Kinds of Phones
C. How to Use Phones
D. Advantage of Phones
