The New York Times published an article recently that shows great regret for the ^death of conversation ̄. It 1 that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more 2 than ever, they¨re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity at the price of 3 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are 4 to a different way of being ^alone together ̄.
Actually, 5 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to 6 thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot 7 a ^real conversation. ̄ Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people¨s tone of voice and see their faces in a (n) 8 . ^The give and take of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds. ̄ she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and 9 people.
Turkle mentioned the popular 10 of ^I share, therefore I am ̄ among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it¨s a mindset adopted by most 11 people. They are so busy creating or polishing their online persona (利大繁鯉) that they forget how to live a (n) 12 life.
However, experts remind us that it¨s 13 to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, 14 out that it is still owners of gadgets, who¨re avoiding personal contact. ^Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other. 15 throwing away the mobile gadgets is not a solution. ̄ she said.

A year passed __14__ he was free to begin his __15__. He was forty. He had never __16__ a camel. He spoke no Arabic. And he did not know how to __17__ himself by the stars. His friends thought he would soon __18__ such an impossible plan.
He did not. To take advantage of�╂�喘��the desert winter, he decided to __19__ England early in October 1972. He had six months to get __20__. He began learning Arabic-school lessons in the __21__, and listening to __22__ at home in the afternoon. He made a lot of visits to the London Zoo to learn about camels.

Moorhouse planned to begin his __25__ from the Atlantic coast of Africa, and ride through Mauritania, Mali, Algeria and Libya into Egypt, where he hoped to reach the River Nile.
