缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分）

The mobile phone is a useful thing, but maybe I don’t know h  1   to use it. Sometimes it makes things difficult for me.

One day I wanted to see my friend nearby. I could a  2  at his house in five minutes, but I looked at my mobile phone and thought i  3   would be better to ring him up. I r  4  him for the first time, but the line was busy. Five minutes later, there was an answer, but it was the wrong number. Then I tried a 5  and this time I got an answer from him.

I asked him if he was at home in the afternoon. And he said--at 1  6  I thought he said--he would be at home all afternoon. So I went to his house, but then I found n  7 in. I called him for the fourth time. This time I got so angry that I s  8  , “You are not at home? But you just told me over the telephone that you would be at home all afternoon!”

Here w  9  his answer, “No, I said: ‘I will NOT be at home all afternoon.’”

I went back to my room, sat down in front of the mobile phone and looked at it. What e  10  could I do? Nothing!

It’s Friday evening. My daughters, 3 and 9, sigh(叹息) when I gently take the iPads away from their laps. One by one, our screens are turned off. We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.

Most people in our lives know they will not be able to contact us by using computer or moblie  phones for 24 hours. And so it has gone, every week for three years. We call it our “Technology Shabbat(科技安息日)" which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2008, when my father was told that he

had got brain cancer. Some days he would have ony one good hour, and I wasn’t willing to be disturbed when I was with him, so I’d turn off my mobile phone.

Soon after, encouraged by National Day of Unplugging(全国断网断电日) on March 1st, my husband and I decided to unplug for one full day every week.

During our “Technology Shabbats”, time slows. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive our car or ride our bike. We, with our kids, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals. I feel more balanced. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.

Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is my lasting state. The technology we’ve created makes it possible for us to share knowledge and take in carious ideas all over the world. But the technology also take something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking(连接) from website to website or sending messages or e-mailing, we click again, and again, and again until we’ve overloaded(超负荷的).

When we rush into the time full of high technology, it's necessary for us to pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go off.

I will always remember the most important thing in my family: “Technology Shabbat".

What is it like being an actor? Many people think it must be wonderful because we travel to exciting places, wear beautiful clothes and (A)挣钱多. This is only one aspect(方面) of our lives though. We also work very hard.

I played a country girl in my last (B) movie. I had to live in a small village with the other actors for part of the winter. (C)It was really hard for me as I grew up in a city. To help me play a country girl better, I cooked for myself and the others every day. I even walked a few miles sometimes to get water, as there was none in the houses. I wanted to understand how a real village girl lived. I thought it was fun at first. I felt different after a week or two, though.

I did wear some beautiful traditional clothes, but they were not thick enough. I was very cold but I had to keep smiling all the time! One day, I couldn’t do it any longer and I suddenly (D) started crying, “Great!” said the director. “I like it. She is crying with true feelings!” I called my mum to tell (E) Her about it but my mobile phone (手机) wouldn’t work in the village.
