18、ices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is wher
19、e I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours arent necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if shed been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Inter
20、net also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun or see a great movie, perhaps there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it.

26、 Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life EasierInternet: a Convenient Tool for CommunicationAs an experienced photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, I was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spinal bifida (脊柱畸形) corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a twenty-one week
27、 old fetus（胎儿）in uterus（子宫）at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier tha
28、n twenty-three weeks had survived. The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mothers thighs（大腿）. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and n
29、o part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a s
30、igh of relief, as did I. As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no ones hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The
31、doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctors finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I sai
32、d. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded. The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images b
33、efore they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “Its the most incredible picture Ive ever seen.”14What may be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing MomentB. A Pitiful FetusC. An Honorable Job as a PhotographerD. An I
34、mpressive Surgeon15In 1999, people believed that it was _.A. possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to surviveB. likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormalC. right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operationD. risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation16From the sec

36、or said in the last paragraph, we know he was very _. A. disappointedB. satisfied C. confidentD. depressedMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when
37、you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while
38、 most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴
39、蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the seas
40、on. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as
41、butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modem life.19We can infer from the text that humans and animals _.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely diffe
42、rent food20Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.C. The bear. D. The fox.21Certain animals change their choice of food when _.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells2
43、2We can learn from the last paragraph that _. A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy diet Efforts to reduce the damage from the huge oil spill(漏油)in the Gulf of Mexico are under way .
