A. written B. read C. seen D. done——青夏教育精英家教网—

Read the following four passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．

　　I've always known that my son uses his cellphone a lot, but his cellphone bill last month really got my attention, He had received nearly 2, 000 text messages(短信), and had sent nearly as many．Of course, he was out of school for the summer, and communicating more with friends who were far away．However, I had to wonder how he found time to keep a summer job and complete a summer course in between all that typing with his thumb．

　　I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal．Teenagers with cellphones send and receive an average of 2.272 text messages a month, Nielsen Mobile says, author of a book called The Dumbest Geheraiion：How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes(危害)Our Future

　　Some experts say that all that text messaging is making our children stupid, and unable to read nonverbal cues(非语言暗示)such as facial expressions, gestures, postures and other silent signals of mood and attitude．“Unlike telephoning, text messaging doesn^'t even allow tones or pauses to be sent to others,” says Mark Bauerlein

　　Beyond that, though, I^'m not sure I see as much harm as critics of the trend do．I^’ve written before on how I initially tried to control my sons texting．But over time, I^’ve seen that my son suffers no apparent bad effects, and that he gains a big benefit of easy and continuing contact with many friends．Also, the time he spends texting replaces the hours teenagers used to spend on the phone; he dislikes talking on the phone, and says he really doesn't need to do so to stay in touch．

　　I don't think texting makes children stupid．It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you．And it may distract them from math problems or what they have to do for school．

　　I don^'t see that texting harms the ability of teenagers to communicate, either．My son is as good at interpreting nonverbal cues as any of the older members of our family．If anything, I’ve found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a distance, since he's constantly available through texting, and responds with faithfulness and speed that any mother would find reassuring(安心的)．

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places. Or you can go and see a colour film. Or you can read travel books.

It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) account of travels which the author has actually made himself. if they are informative and have a good index(索引), then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective(客观的) description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. It can be sorted as a selected guide book. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an explanation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and interesting. But their basic purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way.

Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “wonderful”, “excellent” or “magical”. You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.

This passage is about _______.

A. how to travel B. how to buy travel books

C. how to read a travel book D. travel books

The following travel books may be of use when you plan your travels except _______.

A. the book written by some people who have had the same travel experience themselves

B. the book which tells you what is worth doing and seeing based on the facts

C. the book in which a lot of big adjectives are used to draw your attention

D. the book which offers you a lot of useful information like a tour guide

The date of the publication must be noticed because _______.

A. the world is changing and so are the places you are going to visit

B. the price of the book is always changing

C. the author of the book may be different

D. the contents of the book are always the same
