a. they are important for making wishes come true.b. they try to help children get over their illnesses.c. they visit sick children to make them feel special.d. they provide what is necessary to make make-a-wish popular. d “human beings are ruder today because they are rushed and more time poor than ever before,” says patsy rowe, “ manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people dont wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. here are some examples of rudeness. some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. to them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. it feels very slow because humans dont work at 4g speeds. when you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. we have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. what is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email. however, rudeness is never acceptable, dont assume it is ok to be rude if the person youre in touch with wont recognize you. if you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting. we shouldnt blame technology for our shortcomings.technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. an important step ia acknowledging our shortcomings.people spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if wed publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.68.what can be inferred from the underlined sentence in paragraph i?

a.we should applaud good behavior. b.technology can never be blamed c.we should keep pointing out mistakes. d.technology will take over lives one day. e how can we all get more laughter into our lives? here is what the experts suggest: _71_ . nancy alguire, a teacher in clifton park, n. y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. then she married a circus clown (小丑). “i became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “one day i put on a costume and paint my face. that afternoon my whole life changed. i learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way i had never done before.” _72_ to this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing._73_ it doesnt take you too much time and can be easy. collect favorite cartoons and jokes. also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “good ideas come and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone,” sa
