第二节：完形填空

　　　 When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor　 36　 me to do so. She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world,　 37　 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun?” I　 38　 her.

　　　 Since I started to work for a　 39　 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the　 40　 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business　　 41　 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got　　 42　 about food in different countries.

　　　 Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were　　 43　 necessary when I happened to read a famous chef's (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 　44 　　around us at the same time. So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian　 45　 ? “Those words reminded me of my　 46　 advice. As information technolongy 　47　 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 　48　 you can get from traveling.

　　 Today there are people who　 49　 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people　 50　 not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are　　 　51　 by an invisible wall. They seem m be losing out on a good chance to　 52　 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool m make our daily　 　53　 more fruitful. However, we should never let it　 54　 our time for face to -face communication. Let's make use of information technology more　 　55　 ,and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
