In today’s world English is the most wildly used language. It is our duty to learn English in the new situation of the reform and opening (改革开放) to the outside world. How can we master the English language? I’d like to give you some good advice.

First, get interested in it. I enjoy listening to foreign friends talking when I was a child. At the same time I watched the English programme Follow Me on TV. From then on, I kept on learning English. The more I learned, the more progress I made.

Second, practice makes perfect. Many people study English very hard, but they are very shy to speak it in public, for they are afraid of making mistakes. Remember you have to make a mistake before you can correct it. A native English speaker makes mistakes sometimes, too.

Don’t talk to me; I’m busy with my iPhone

Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.

Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.

Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps” (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.

Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.

For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.

And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

56.　 People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy___.

A.　　　 going to work

B.　　　 reading books

C.　　　 thinking private things

D.　　　 playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films.

57.　 Those who like war games can download ___to their iPhones.

A.　　　 iShoot

B.　　　 Tube Exits

C.　　　 ISteam

D.　　　 iPod

58.　 The underlined word “occupied” in the last paragraph probably means____.

A.　　　 delighted

B.　　　 busy

C.　　　 amused

D.　　　 controlled

59.　 The article tells us that___.

A.　　　 London commuters are unfriendly to strangers

B.　　　 Apple has earned a lo of money from selling 40,000 iPhones

C.　　　 technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.

D.　　　 with all the new time-fillers, London commuters often forget to get off the train.
