Parties and social gathering no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not because of a lack of desire to socialize, but the mobile-phone.
At parties, more people are on their phones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation Study, over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it as soon as they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit sending messages while driving, and they agree that sending messages is their number one driving interruption. People’s addiction(沉溺) to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the importance of human communication. When with their friends, some people aimlessly check or send messages in front of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a message or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to communicate face to face, but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.
1. The purpose of the passage is to .
A. call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B. tell us to pay attention to communication skills
C. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D. advise us to be careful about the addiction to face-to-face communication.
2.The second paragraph is developed by .
A. giving examples B. time order.
C. comparing facts D. analyzing the effects
3.The author advises us to make new friends .
A. by using smartphones B. in a face-to-face way
C. in different ways D. by writing letters.
4.Over-dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that .
A. parties and gathering limit their social circle.
B. people are more and more easy-going.
C. people’s communication skills are weakened.
D. face-to-face communication becomes more and more dangerous.

At any given time, hundreds of postcards are in transit (运输中) across the world as strangers communicate through a movement called Post-crossing.
Emma Delaney says it’s a sad day when there isn’t a postcard in her mailbox. She doesn’t have a bunch of friends travelling overseas at the moment —— she’s just really active in the underground hobby of Postcrossing.
“I’ve sent over 3,000 postcards, but I’ve been doing it for close to seven years,” she says. “My husband, generally appreciative of my hobby, is sometimes frustrated by the amount of cardboard hanging around the house or in my car.”
Postcrossing is a hobby where strangers send each other postcards across the world. You register on the website, list your interests and preferences for postcards, then receive an address of a stranger on the other side of the world to send a postcard to.
“I tend to send a lot of postcards of the local area because people are interested in where you’re from and what you do,” Emma says.
From Uzbekistan to Belarus and Kazakhstan to Moldova, Emma has a growing collection of photos from around the world. The postcards have helped shape her international travelling too. “I didn’t travel overseas until I was 32 and a lot of the locations we chose for our honeymoon were selected because of the postcards I’d received.”
“Some people see sending mail as being a bit boring and unfashionable, but Postcrossing is popular and lots of people are fascinated that I do it.,”
The Postcrossing project has just celebrated its eighth birthday and has over 400,000 active members in 215 countries. The group says they’ve delivered over 18 million postcards.
And while postal workers aren’t supposed to read people’s postcards, Emma says she’s happy for them to do so at her post office in Shellharbour. She even encourages her correspondents to say hello to the Australia Post staff.
“It’s a hobby that I continue to do because I find it enjoyable and relaxing.”
1.Emma Delaney’s friends .

Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “It’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t ” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!
However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
1.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?
A. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”
B. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”
D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”
2.Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles?
A. They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance.
B. They prefer to lead you the way.
C. They often have no idea of distance measured by miles.
D. They prefer to use body language.
3.How do Greeks give directions?
A. Using street names.
B. Using landmarks.
C. Leading people the way.
D. Giving people a wrong direction.
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.
B. People in Yucatan always give right directions.
C. People in some places give directions in miles, while in other places in time.
D. A person’s body language can help you understand directions.

When people introduce themselves, I always hear them say “I’m just a housewife”. I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing (令人尴尬的) when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home? Is income the only mark of being proud of what you are doing and how you are spending your life?
How could you be “you are just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? Isn’t it surprising that even if your day starts before everyone and ends after everyone, you still don’t feel that you have accomplished(实现)anything? A housewife works for the longest hour, shelling out every responsibility of the house, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, entertaining family and friends, maintaining a pleasant environment at home, remembering things that others have forgotten, looking after each and every requirement of the family members, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, fashion designer and consultant, nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don’t think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection (挚爱) of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.
It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?
Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it’s time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes “I am a housewife”. Kick that “just” out.
1.What is the housewives’ feeling when they say “I’m just a housewife” in the author’s opinion?
A. Nervous. B. Comfortable.
C. Regretful. D. Satisfied.
2.According to the author, the true value of the housewives lies in the following EXCEPT _______.
A. the harmony of their family
B. family members’ trust in them
C. the stable income of their family
D. the love and affection of their family
3.What does the author advise housewives to do when they introduce themselves?
A. Take care not to make a mistake.
B. Pick up self-confidence and pride.
C. Try to make others understand their life.
D. Understand the importance of their jobs.
4.How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By following the order of time.
B. By offering some questions.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By giving examples.
