19．Cell Phones Are the New Cigarettes
When you get in your car，you reach for it．When you're at work，you take a break to have a moment alone with it．When you get into a lift，you play with it．
Cigarettes？Cup of coffee？No，it's the third most addictive thing in modern life，the cell phone．And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their desire to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships．
With its shiny surface，its smooth and satisfying touch，its air of complexity，the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past  couple of years，the cell phone has challenged individuals，employers，phone makers and  counselors（顾问） in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined．
The costs are becoming even more evident，and I don't mean just the monthly bill．Dr．Chris Knippers，a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California，reports that the overuse of  cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions：a barrier to one-on-one personal contact，and an escape from reality．
Sounds extreme，but we've all witnessed the evidence：The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal，ignoring his kids around the table； the woman who talks on the phone in the car，ignoring her husband； the teen who texts messages all the way home from school，avoiding contact with kids all around him．
Is it just rude，or is it a kind of unhealthiness？And pardon me，but how is this improving the quality of life？
Jim Williams，an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts，notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation．He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with．Despite the growing use of phones，e-mail and instant messaging，in other words，Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents．"Just as more information has led to less wisdom，more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends，"he says．
If the cell phone has truly had these effects，it's because it has become very widespread．Consider that in 1987，there were only 1million cell phones in use．Today，something like 300million Americans carry them．They far outnumber wired phones in the United States．
51．Which of the following best explains the title of the passage？C
A．Cell phone users smoke less than they used to．
B．More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes．
C．Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes．
D．Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes．
52．The underlined word"curb"in Paragraph 2meansA．
A．control   B．ignore       C．develop          D．rescue
53．The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea thatD．
A．women use cell phones more often than men
B．talking on the phone while driving is dangerous
C．cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy
D．cell phones do not necessarily bring people together．

6．An Italian physician has declared that he wants to be the firstto clone （clone） a human being．

16．For them，it wasn't only a job，but it was also a wonderful journey of discovery．For them，it wasn't only a job，but also a wonderful journey of discovery．

3．Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon，I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood．When I was a boy of 12in South Carolina，something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage．
We lived on the edge of a wood，and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing．There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird．
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician．
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage．At first，in its fright at being captured，the bird fluttered about the cage，but eventually it settled down in its new home．I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician．
I had left the cage out on our back porch，and on the second day of the bird's captivity my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth．The baby bird ate everything she brought to it．I was pleased to see this．Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby．
The following morning when I went to see how my captive（被俘虏的） was doing，I discovered it on the floor of the cage，dead．I was shocked!What had happened!I had taken excellent care of my little bird，or so I thought．
Arthur Wayne，the famous ornithologist，happened to be visiting my father at the time，hearing me crying over the death of my bird，explained what had occurred．"A mother mockingbird，finding her young in a cage，will sometimes bring it poison berries．She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity．"
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage．All living creatures have a right to live free．

20．When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is filled with swimming，camp，and family vacations，it can be a challenge to find time for learning．But kids'reading skills don't have to grow cold once school's out．Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun：
Explore your library．Visit your local library to borrow books and magazines that your kids haven't seen before．Many libraries have summer reading programs，book clubs，and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers．With a new library card，a child will feel extra grown-up by borrowing books．
Read on the road．Going on a long car trip？Make sure there are some books at the back seat．When you're not at the wheel，read the books aloud．Get some audio books （many libraries have large selections）and listen to them together during driving time．
Make your own books．Pick one of your family's favorite parts of summer-whether it's baseball，ice cream，or the pool-and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines．Stick the pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it．When you're done，read the book together．Reread it whenever you like!
Keep in touch．Kids don't have to go away to write about summer vacation．Even if your family stays home，they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures．Ask a relative to be your child's pen pal and encourage them to write each week．
Keep up the reading habits．Even if everything else changes during the summer，keep up the reading routines around your house．Read with your kids every day-whether it's just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon．And don't forget to take a book to the beach！Just brush the sand off the pages-it's no sweat!

1．"Please read this，"my three-year-old Claire said one day，pointing to a page with an old children's song："Do you know how to plant cabbages"．In blue ink，someone had crossed out cabbages and written"Watermelons!"
"Daddy!Did you do that？"Claire asked，looking up with an expression of shock．We had only recently asked her not to write in books，and suddenly here was proof that her parents weren't practicing what they asked．I told her it was written by my grandfather and sat down to tell the story．
I grew up on Granddad's farm in Nebraska，America．One afternoon，I decided to plant some watermelons．
"Hmm，there's a crop I haven't tried!"Granddad smiled．"Let's do it now!"
With Granddad's help I planted the seeds．
The next morning，I found a big watermelon there．I knew it was Granddad that put a watermelon there and I thought he had played a joke on me．
Later that month，Granddad gave me a book．"For school，"he said seriously．I opened it to where he'd written"Watermelons!"and laughed at another of his jokes．
Claire listened quietly to the story and asked to plant seeds too，so I took her to buy some seeds．On the walk home，I realized for the first time that Granddad could have met my childish enthusiasm with some disappointing facts such as that watermelons don't grow well in Nebraska or that it was too late to plant them anyway．But instead of doing that，he had stolen back into town that afternoon and bought the biggest melon on the market．That night，after I was asleep，he had awkwardly unloaded it and，with a painful bend，placed it exactly above my seeds．He made sure I experienced the"wow．"
I had always thought the midnight miracle（奇迹）was just one of Granddad's jokes．Now I realized he had planted hope that day．As Claire planted the seeds happily，I watched my grandfather's joy take fresh root in her life．And that was the biggest miracle of all．
28．Claire was shocked at the mark on the page becauseC．
A．her great-grandfather did something her parents forbad
B．someone preferred watermelons to cabbages
C．she thought her parents didn't act as they said
D．there should be a mistake in the book
29．Why did Granddad put a watermelon where the author planted seeds？B
A．Because he didn't want to waste the watermelon．
B．Because he didn't want to disappoint the author．
C．Because he wanted to make fun of the author．
D．Because he wanted the author to be a farmer．
30．Which of the following best describes Granddad？D
A．Talented and reliable．
B．Generous and patient．
C．Determined and happy．
D．Caring and humorous．
31．What's the best title for the text？C
