When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a faraway village. One day, on the road, I found the   51   pieces of a mirror. There was a Garman motorcycle accident.

       I tried to find all the pieces and put them   52  , but it was not possible, so I kept only the  53    piece and I made it round. I could   54   with it as a toy and became greatly attracted by the   55  that I could reflect（反射）light to dark places where the sun would never shine—in  56  holes and some other dark places. It became a   57   for me to get light into the darkest places I could find.

       I   58  the little mirror, and, as I   59  up, I would take it out when I had nothing to  do and  60   the game, As I became a   61  , I grew to understand that this was not    62  a child’s game but a metaphor（象征）for what I might do with my life.

Perhaps others may see and do the same. This is what I am about. This is the    70   of my life.

Visiting the Arctic

ZHOU Mingfeng, 17, has only stepped out of his birthplace, Qingdao, once to visit the top of the world, the Arctic!

The Senior 2 student from the High School Attached to Ocean University of China joined a two-week journey to the Arctic at the beginning of this month, after he was recommended for the trip. Including his teacher, Wu Jianying, the adventure group consisted of 12 students and teachers from China, Spain, Canada, Britain and the US.

“The trip brought the whole subject of geography and climate change to life,” Zhou said.

Before they landed by air on Canada’s research icebreaker (破冰船) in the Arctic, Amundsen, the group visited an Inuit (英纽特人的) community. Zhou also got the chance to experience dog-sledding for the first time!

He was surprised to find that Inuit people don’t live in snow igloos (圆顶建筑) any longer. “They live in modern, warm wooden houses and travel mostly by snowmobile,” he said.

During the time on board Amundsen, every day was science orientated (以……为主). Zhou and other teenagers were guided by scientists, who work there, to take part in laboratory and field work. Sometimes they went outside to collect ice and snow samples for experiments despite the windy, freezing climate.

As the only Chinese student, Zhou didn’t feel very confident due to his English inefficiency.

“Those students soon got close to the onboard scientists and became involved (参与) in their research,” he recalled in admiration.

However, it didn’t prevent Zhou from enjoying the unique and remote life there.

When the wind died and the sun shone on the frozen desert, Zhou and his new friends recorded their days with photo shoots out on the ice beside the Amundsen!

“The views were breathtaking! Everything around us seemed lifeless, which is shocking,” he said.

But there proved to be something alive, under the ice caps. A seal popped out of the water below the ship and greeted them on the last day of their stay.

“It was the only animal I saw in the Arctic!” he said. “But it’s a pity that I didn’t see a single polar bear in the ‘capital’ of the creature.

D. Zhou took many photos with his new friends.

B. The trip suddenly started working.

       Michael, a typical American, stays home on workday. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael does not talk to any other human beings, and he does not see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.

       The world of business is one area which technology is isolating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their band accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.

       Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.

46. The sentence,“Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible”means _______.

Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true.

Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist.

Michael has ambitions but he can’t make his dreams come true.

Michael is a person full of imagination and his style is common nowadays.

One can borrow books from libraries at home.

48. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?

A. Games and sports.                   B. Personal banking.     

C. Music and films.                            D. International business.

49. What is the main idea of the passage?

We may no longer need to communicate with other human being.

Modern technology seems to be separating human being.

We any no longer need to work in the office.

Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.
