11、as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?” The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the ho
12、use. The grandpa laughed and said, “Youll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in
13、a basket, so he went to get a bucket（桶） instead. The grandpa said, “I dont want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.

14、aid, “Grandpa, its useless !”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different.

19、e outline and usually use the textbook, while others send students to the library for tasks.The atmosphere in some classrooms is very formal. Students call their teachers Professor Smith, Mrs. Jones and so on. Other classrooms have an informal atmosphere. Students and teachers discuss their ideas to
20、gether. Teachers dress informally, and students call them by their first names.

Cell Phones Are the New Cigarettes When you get in your car, you reach for it. When youre at work, you take a break to have a moment alo
25、ne with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, its the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their desire to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships
26、.With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away. In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors(顾问)in ways its inventors in the
27、 late 1940s never imagined.The costs are becoming more and more evident, and I dont mean just the monthly bill. Dr. Chris Knippers , a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful
28、addictions: a barrier to one-on-one(一对一的) personal contact, and an escape from reality.Sounds extreme, but weve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone throughan entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignori
29、ng her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him.It is just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes th
30、at cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf（隔阂） of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones,
31、e-mail and instant messaging, Williams says studies show that we dont have as many friends as our parents.“Just as more information has led to less wisdom，more acquaintances（熟人） through the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says.If the cell phone has truly had these effects,
32、its because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use. Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber(比.多) wired phones(有线电话) in the United States.29. Which of the following best explains the title of the passage? A
33、. Cell phone users smoke less than they used to. B. More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes. C. Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes. D. Using sell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes.30. The underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 means_. A. control B. ignore C. develo

35、 . Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The fi
36、rst kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind is situation, for example, family problem, the death of loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physica
37、l problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most serious. Unlike the second type, chronic (长期的) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems
38、 socializing and becoming close to others. However, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts(联系), for example, friends, family members, co-workers, e
39、tc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts,
40、they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, w
41、hile temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.32. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage? _.A.Just ignore it B.
