It is also made of software.If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that several years from now on, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How did I live without them?”（1）The writers house is NOT made of _.

To explain what the functions of the PIN and the console are.C . To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D .

A . it has your favourite music following youB . you can make a telephone call anywhereC . the writer is able to change his new idea into practiceD . it has been controlled by computers（5）What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.The games popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say theyre lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.This might be why the UK government declared (宣布) the countrys very first “Minister of Loneliness” (孤独大臣) in January. The ministers job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The ministers office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.This loneliness problem may be partly because of social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies (自拍) without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel inferior (较差的) and lonely.But we should remember that no one is destined (注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent (陆地), a part of the main.”Tips to get rid of lonelinessSing your favorite songs.Connect with a friend.Do something creative, such as drawing a picture.Imagine some place youd like to visit, like a fun gathering or a sporting event.（1）What do players do while playing Travel Frog? A . Build houses for their frogs.B . Prepare food and tools for their frogs trips.C . Choose places for their frogs to travel.D . Write postcards to their frogs.（2）According to the story, why is the game so popular? A . Because it is well-designed.B . Because it can be played on mobile phones.C . Because people often feel lonely.D . Because people have more spare time these days.（3）To deal with loneliness, the UK government _. A . designed the game Travel FrogB . created the “Minister of Loneliness”C . holds parties for people to get togetherD . stopped peoples use of social media（4）What does the underlined sentence means? A . Everyone is connected with others.B . We should not compare ourselves to others.C . Its not fun to feel lonely.D . No one should live alone.（5）What is the best title for the passage? A .
