    People who put a smiley face at the end of a message, in an attempt to show feeling, show no feeling. I wish there was a symbol for two fingers in the air.
    I had some bad news this week. My manager informed me of this news via email. It was like hearing about the death of a loved one via pigeon. Bad news should only ever be delivered face to face or voice to voice.
    We seem to celebrate our numerous methods of communication, but really there is no communication at all. I talk to my plants more than I talk to my neighbors, I get text messages that take me three hours to read because they’re written like this: “Hi, I ope you av a gr8 day. Call me La8tr.” I had an email from someone this week that read, “Da ut ov 2day are really annoying me!” Ut? I had to say this 20 times before I understood it. Youth has now become ut. Haven’t we taken enough from them—now we have to take their letters?
    I had an email recently from a girl who used to live over the road from me as a child. She wrote, “Hi Shazia, howz u? Im sure u used 2 live across the road from me. We sumtimes played tennis 2 gever at the park and you was in your eliment. I am married now wif 3 daughters.” Then, to my horror, she ended the email with: “Im now teachin in Leeds. Luv Clare.”
    Teaching? With English like this. It’s like saying you’re a train driver when you’ve never seen a train. It was like reading modern Morse code.
    Getting bad news via email makes it seem so much worse than it actually is. Just a few lines, no emotion, no comfort, not really an explanation. Just a few cold hard words. It’s an excuse. Just write a few words and the problem of delivering it is no longer yours. A close friend recently told me she was very happy to announce she was getting married—and made the announcement by email. I don’t know how she didn’t fall off her chair with excitement while writing it. If you are really happy or really sad to announce something important, wouldn’t you like a human reaction? Some euphoria, elation, tears, a punch in the face?
    I receive long text messages every day with information and explanations that I don’t bother reading. They’re boring, and annoy me. In the time it took someone to write me three laborious texts, they could have called, spoken to me, made some tea. People who put a smiley face at the end of a sentence, in an attempt to show feeling, show no feeling. I wish there was a symbol for two fingers in the air, because that’s the one I’d send back.
    The telegram has been responsible for reporting world-shattering events when there were very few other options(选择权). Now we have options, and people opt for the least humane one. My mum, in an attempt to get down with the ut of today, asked me to teach her to text. Now she constantly texts me in block capitals, so it looks as if she is still angry and annoyed with me after all these years.
    People don’t even write by hand any more. My doctor prints out prescriptions from his computer; even my mechanic prints out a receipt. I get typed Christmas cards and my friends send me emails. I get very excited when hand-written letters come through my door, only because they rarely do.
    When I was at school, the girls used to write letters to each other, even though we sat side by side and spoke to one another all day. I think it was a way of expressing private things we were afraid to say when we were 14 and too shy. We used to write things like, “You are my best friend, can’t wait to sit next to you in math.”
    I miss the personal method of communication. Once the pen was mightier than the sword, now it seems the keyboard is mightier than the pen.
    【小题1】We can learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 that the writer wants to say ________.

    A．the spelling mistakes in the messages make her very annoyed
    B．only writing letters will bring friends and neighbors much closer
    C．she talks to plants more because no one shares her joys and sorrows
    D．gestures and the pen can express a lot more than the cold keyboard

    A．She has been separated from all his classmates many years.
    B．No doctors write prescriptions by hand because of computers.
    C．In communication, we should write more letters than send messages.
    D．Less shy than school girls, boys rarely write letters to their friends.

    B．the writer becomes excited when she gets priceless gifts from other people
    C．her classmates would write to each other because they couldn’t send messages

    C．Now people are too busy to communicate with each other face to face often.

    A．Because she thinks the annoyance of reading text messages is originated from it.
    B．Because we have more options to keep in touch with each other than ever before.
    C．Because advanced technology partly takes the blame for lacking the human touch.
    D．Because she thinks humans today become colder with the development of society.

    For a 400-year-old art form，opera had a bad fame：overweight actresses singing the words which were hard to understand in one of those Romance languages you were supposed to learn in high schoo1．And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance,opera-goers also had a certain appearance in people’s mind：rich,well-dressed and old．

    　 But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to keep opera alive and take it to the younger and not-so-wealthy audience．

    　 Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd，they need to associate opera with the common people．That means no formal suits， old-styled theatre or bank-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera ,companis are bringing the opera to them，giving performances in such usual place as parks，libraries and public schools．

    The Houston Grand Opera's choice is the public library，where it performs”mobile operas”,shortened versions of child-friendly ope ras．This summer’s production is Hansel&.Gretel.By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera，which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year,is staging Cinderella free of charge，keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists’Training Program．

    　 A.Opera is famous for its tong history．
