8.A man who knows how to write a personal letter has a very powerful tool.A letter can be enjoyed,read and(21)reread.It can set up a warm conversation between two people far apart (远离的);it can keep a(22)friendshipwith very little effort.
 I will give (23)an example.A few years ago my older brother and l were not getting (24)along.Wehad been close as (25)childrenbut had grown apart.Our meetings were not(26)pleasant; ourconversation was filled with arguments and quarrels:and every effort to clear the air seemed to only(27)deepenour misunderstanding.Then he(28)moved toa small island in the Caribbean and we(29)losttouch.One day he wrote me a letter.He described his island and its people,told me
  what he was doing,said how he felt,and encouraged me to (30)write.Rereading the letter,I was(31)surprisedby its humor(幽默)and clever expressions.These were all qualities for which I had(32)oncerespected my older brother but (33)thoughthe no longer had them.I had never known he could write so(34)well.And with that one letter we became friends (35)again.
  It might never have occurred to (36)mybrotherto write me if he had not been in a place where  there were no(37)phones.For him,writing was a necessity.It also turned out to be the best way for us to get back in touch.Because we live in an age of (38)easy communication(通讯),people often (39)forget that they don't always have to phone or email.They have a  (40)choice.And that is to write.

分析 本文是一篇议论文.受到更多先进快捷媒体比如internet的冲击的现状,作者通过回顾和现状事实的对比描述,也表达了自己的担忧:未来书信何去何从?这是一篇教育性或倡导性文章:通过描述自己与哥哥的交往变化来倡导书信在交流中的重要性.作者措述了一个有趣的事实:在相聚中,自己与哥哥相处不好,忽视了他的优点:但是分开后.多亏了没有现代化的交通工具--电话、email,所以只能写信.再次展现哥哥的品质,所以连作者本人都发出感叹:因为我们生活在通讯工具便捷的时代,人们难免会忘掉我们不必总得用电话或电子邮件联系,我们还有另一种选择,那就是写信.

3.When kids in parts of the world want to play,they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string."(48)Because   the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky,millions of real balls go flat (变瘪)(49)within   24 hours,"says Tim Jahnigen,a California businessman.Determined to solve this problem,(50)he    created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.
    The ball is made of (51)a   special material,ethylene-vinyl acetate foam.It's lightweight,it's flexible,and-(52)most   important-it holds its shape.
    The One World Futbol needs no pump(53)and   won't wear out,even on rough surfaces.When tested,(54)it    
withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car,and even being chewed on by a lion.
    Although it costs more to produce(55)thana typical soccer ball,Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years.So far,it's been given to kids in 143 countries.
