I want my kids to contact with their grandparents often. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents wont. Ive bought them a laptop, paid for broadband(宽带), given them both mobile phones and a digital camera, but they wont use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”? Daniel, Buremburg, Germany Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Brontes novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it. Laura, Valencia, Spain Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life. Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons（图标) and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone. Graham, Patras, Greece 55. The underlined part “the technophobes” in the passage refers to _. A. those who are ready to try new technologyB. those who are addicted to the Internet C. those who refuse to use modern technologyD. those who are devoted to inventing new things 56. Which of the following is TRUE of the Luddites? A. They called themselves the technophobes. B. They got full support from their factory owners. C. They preferred to keep their traditional working methods. D. They were killed by the government. 57. Who has put forward a practical and useful suggestions? A. Laura. B. Freda. C. Daniel. D. Graham. 58. The passage is probably taken from _. A. a personal blog B. a letter between friends C. a personal diary D. a speech on new technology CSome problems are difficult to solve. But there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem. Some problems have only one solution. You cannot be of two minds over this. But with any luck, we could solve the problem in two shakes of a lambs tail. We could have our answers quickly and easily. Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs dont make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.If you are going out with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, but you dont want another friend to go along on your date. You can just say to your friend: twos company, threes a crowd.When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic. These three words do not all start with the letter “R”. But they have the sound of “R”. My teachers used to give three cheers when I did well in math. They gave praise and approval for a job well done.Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their schoolwork. They were at sixes and sevens. In fact, they did not care if they finished high school. But they were happy when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine. Nine times out of ten students who do well in school find good jobs. Some work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. You do not have to dress to the nines, or wear your best clothes, for this kind of work.59What is the best title of the passage?AHow to Use Numbers.BThe Importance of Numbers.CNumber Stories.DTalk About Number Expressions.60Tom won first place in the game and we can congratulate him by using “ ”.Akill two birds with one stoneBgive three cheersCbe of two mindsDput two and two together61If you solve a problem easily and quickly, you can do it “ ”.Ain seventh heavenBdress up to the ninesCin two shakes of a lambs tailD. at sixes and sevens62Which of the following can replace the phrase “in all probability”?AKill two birds with one stone.BNine times out of ten.CAt sixes and sevens.DTwo heads are better than one.DI had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I hadnt insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. Its my fault.”When things dont turn out as we would like them to, we tend to think that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believed that the opposite course, for example, keeping Mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense and that there is a reason for everything that happens. The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happens. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely give up that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.63. What is true about the two deceased elderly women?A. They both died of old age.B. They died from hard work.C. They werent used to the change in life.D. They died due to lack of care by family members.64. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because .A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrowB. they believe that they are responsible for what has happenedC. they dont know the natural course of eventsD. they dont know things often turn out in the opposite direction65. The underlined part “the world makes sense” in Paragraph 3 probably means that .A. everything in the world is planned in advanceB. the world can be understood in different waysC. theres an explanation for everything in the worldD. we have to be wise in order to understand the world66. People have believed since early childhood that .A. everybody must obey their demandB. life and death is an unsolved mysteryC. every story shou
