Three Yale University professors agreed in a discussion that the automobile was what one of them called “Public Health Enemy No. 1 in this century”. Besides polluting the air and overcrowding the cities, cars are involved in more than half the disastrous accidents, and they contribute to heart disease “because we won’t walk anywhere any more,” said Richard Weeinaman, professor of medicine and public health.
Speaking of many of those man-made dangers of the automobile, Arthur W. Galson, professor of biology, said it was possible to make a kerosene-burning turbine car that would “lessen smog by a very large factor”. But he expressed doubt whether Americans were willing to give up moving about the countryside at 90 miles per hour in a large vehicle. “America seems wedded to the motor car—every family has to have at least two, and one has to be a convertible (敞篷汽车) with 300 horsepower,” professor Galson continued. “Is this the way of life that we choose because we treasure these values?”
For professor Sears, part of the blame lies with “a society that regards profit as a supreme value, under the illusion that anything that’s technically possible is, therefore, morally justified”. Professor Sears also called the country’s dependence on its modern automobiles “terrible economics” because of the large horsepower used simply “moving one individual to work”. But he admitted that Americans have painted themselves into a corner by allowing the national economy to become so dependent on the automobile industry.
“The solution,” Dr Weeinerman said, “is not finding a less dangerous fuel but a different system of inner city transportation. Because of the increasing use of cars, public transportation has been allowed to wither (衰弱) and grow worse, so that if you can’t walk to where you want to go, you have to have a car in most cities,” he declared. This, in turn, Dr Weeinerman contended, is responsible for the “arteriosclerosis (动脉硬化)” of public roads, for the pollution of the inner city and for the middle-class movement to the suburbs.

A. Americans are used to travelling by cars

The day my husband fell to his death,it started to snow,just like any November day.His body, when I found it,was lightly covered with snow.It snowed almost every day for the next four months,while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.One morning,I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk.I dropped to my knees and crawled through the living room. And back up stairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed.My first thought was,how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before John’s death,I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors,I defined myself by my competence and independence.So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn't easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn't even help them set the table. “I'm not usually this lazy, ”I wept.Finally,my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, "Mary,cooking for you is not a burden. I love you and I want to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over,I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days.One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I once was, but in many ways I have changed for the better. My heart is now filled with thanks for people around me.I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.
1.Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her.

A. hard-working B. independent
C. smart D. capable
3..The underlined word“shuffled”in Paragraph 1 probably means ___________.
A. stepped steadily B. walked slowly
C. ran swiftly D. fell sadly
4..We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A. the writer found her husband immediately he fell off the roof
B. the writer became strong-willed immediately after John's death
C. the people around the writer were friendly and supported her
D. before John’s death, the writer never asked others for help

The intelligence times provide us much convenience,but at the same time,some of our abilities are being weakened gradually.
1. Memorizing phone numbers
It was annoying to remember numbers. Now we simply add them to our contacts list. That usually works well unless our device is lost,stolen,or damaged. No one can be expected to remember all their contact numbers. What we can do is memorize 5 of our most important contact numbers. This should include a mixture of family,friends and business. If you're really ambitious you can memorize 5 contacts for each category.
2. Map-reading skills
The convenience and effectiveness of GPS guidance systems and digital maps generated by search engines is unquestionable. They've definitely made our lives easier. What we don't get from using these devices and applications is the increased ability to understand spatial orientation(空间方向)and navigation.
To renew or acquire those skills,try using physical maps to plan your next trip. After a few trips,you'll be pleasantly surprised with how useful a physical map can be.
3. Photography
Even amateur photography requires a basic learning about lighting,depth,and composition. This is true for digital photography. Most smart cameras automatically make these adjustments. We no longer have to learn the art of photography. On most devices,this is easily changed by turning off the automatic settings. Experiment with setting by hand the scene modes,lighting,and zoom. You just may learn that you're a “true photographer”.
4. Reading comprehension
The primary cause is E-reader. They're convenient and can store thousands of books. But there's evidence that E-reader makes it more difficult for readers to keep and recall information they just read. Don't worry! What we should do is make an effort to read printed books. This will be especially helpful when seeking information we need for academic or career purposes.
5.Hand-written correspondence(通信)
Writing letters and notes include hand writing skills,organizational skills,and learning about the person or persons you correspond with. This is another easily regained skill. Send a letter to an old friend,relative or acquaintance.
1.What's the disadvantage by adding all numbers to the contacts list?
A. We may only have the ability to remember 5 numbers.
B. It's hard to find the number from the contacts list.
C. We might lose all our phone numbers accidentally.
D. Our device is more easily damaged or stolen.
2.To make yourself a “true photographer”,you ______.
A. must make it clear how the digital camera works itself
B. have to make your camera do the adjustments automatically
C. don't need to learn the art of photography
D. had better try to set the scene modes,lighting,and zoom by hand
3.E-readers are thought to weaken our reading comprehension because ______.
A. they are convenient and can store thousands of books
B. they make it more difficult for us to recall information
C. less people can afford to buy E-readers
D. people are not fond of reading printed books nowadays
4.The author of the text seems to ______.
A. be worried that we might lose some basic abilities in intelligence society
B. point out to us the abilities one should have for adapting to the modem society
C. be glad that people will regain these abilities by using them often in daily life
D. find out that these abilities will probably make modern people different from before
