第二节:完形填空
When I was a
college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 36 me to do so. She said,“Now it is the time for you to travel around the world,
37 your knowledge through actual experiences
and have fun?” I 38 her.
Since I started
to work for a 39 company, however, I have done most of my
traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 40 of many cities on my computer screen.
And I have really made business 41 , too. With the help of the
Internet, I have also got 42 about food in different countries.
Therefore, I was
beginning to feel that actual trips were 43 necessary when I happened to read a
famous chef's (厨师)
comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because
we enjoy food and the 44 around us at the same time. So why don't
you fly over to Italy
and enjoy real Italian 45 ? “Those words reminded me of my
46 advice. As information technolongy 47 , you might be able to do without
making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 48 you can get from traveling.
Today there are people
who 49 direct communication with others and
spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group
of people 50 not with each other but into their micro
phones. It seems as if such people are 51 by an invisible wall. They seem m be
losing out on a good chance to 52
and talk with other
people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information
technology. We should use information technology as a tool m make our daily 53
more fruitful. However,
we should never let it 54 our time for face to -face communication.
Let's make use of information technology more 55
,and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
