Steve Jobs on life and death
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every 2 and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the 3 has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 4 something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever used to help me make the big 6 in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all 7 of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is 8 important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 9 . You are already naked. There is no reason not to 10 your heart.
Your time is limited, so don’t 11 it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 12 by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the 13 to follow your beliefs and goals. They somehow already know what you really want to 14 . Everything else is 15 .

A 17-year-old boy,caught sending text messages in class,was recently sent to the vice principal’s office. The vice principal,Steve Gallagher,told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher,not his cellphone. The boy listened politely and nodded,and that’s when Mr. Gallagher noticed the student’s fingers moving on his lap. He was testing while being scolded for texting. " It was a subconscious act," says Mr. Gallagher,who took the phone away. " Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they colse their eyes at night. It’s compulsive."
A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga, found that the more time young people spend on Facebook,the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits. Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable,but they are also more likely to be anxious,hostile or depressed. (Doctors, meanwhile, are now laming addictions to ‘night texting’ for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens.)
Almost a quarter of today’s teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day,according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group that monitors media’s impact on families. Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force,or will employers come to see texting and ‘social—network checking’ as accepted parts of the workday?
Think back, When today’s older workers were in their 20s,they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans. In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired. It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today.
Educators are also being asked by parents,students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules. "In past generations,students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are good at texting with their phones still in their pockets," says 40-year-old Mr. Gallagher, the vice principal," and they’re able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fundamentally different today. They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."
66.The underlined word "a subconscious act" in the first paragraph refers to an act .
A.on purpose B.without realization
C.in secret D.with care
67.Young people addicted to the use of Facebook .
A.are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study
B.have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work
C.have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits
D.are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect
68.Through the situation of today’s older workers in their 20s,it can be inferred that .
A.the employers will not accept young people’s sending text messages
B.a cellphone is a must for today’s older workers instead of young people
C.The employers prefer older workers to young people
D.the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people
69.Mr. Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and those today_______.
A.like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages
B.are always the big problem for the educations and their parents
C.like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way
D.cannot live without a cellphone
70.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Teenagers and Cellphones
B.Teenagers’ Texting Addiction
C.Employers and Teenagers
D.Teenagers’ Education
