When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 p.m. and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.

Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

 

57.How do you understand “Point 1: The telephone creates the need to communicate,…”?

       A.People don’t communicate without telephone.

       B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

       C.People communicate more since telephone has been created.

       D.People communicate more because of more traffic.

58.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

       A.Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.

       B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.

       C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

       D.Mobile phones are part of people’s life.

59.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through ________.

       A.the TV screen                                    

       B.a fax machine

       C.the phone line hooked up to the computer

       D.a microphone

60.The best heading for the passage is ___________.

       A.Phone Power                                      B.Kinds of Phone

       C.How to Use Phones                             D.Advantage of Phones

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  Leaving a tip in a restaurant has become a custom in most countries.The word “tip” came from the Latin word “Grais”, meaning free.Tips are defined as small gifts of money for service in addition to the payment due.

  Believe it or not, the practice of tipping has a little interesting history.The custom can be traced back to the Roman era.The Romans were the first civilization to use coins.It is possible that the word “tip” came from the word “stipend” .“Stips” in Latin means gift.A more common belief is tips were first given in the 18th century England.A popular coffee house equipped each table with a coin box.The label of each box read, “To insure promptness.” Dropping a coin into the box would result in quick service.Also, the first letter of each word is T.I.P.-tip.

  In America and Europe, it is customary to tip anywhere from 10% to 20%.Taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges, hotel boys, doormen, and disco coat check girls, all expect a little something.People working at these jobs usually receive a low basic salary.Tips are quite necessary to supplement their income.Today most people decide the size of tip according to the quality of the service.If the service and food are not satisfactory, a small tip or possibly no tip will be left.For excellent food and service most people are quite happy to leave a tip.

  The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders.Surprisingly, rich people are not “big tippers” unless entertaining guests.It is no use showing off if nobody is there to watch, right? Many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out for an evening “on the town” .People who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends.It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success.Nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends.Over-tipping also gives some satisfaction just to see the waiter's reaction.

  For whatever reason, tipping will continue to be practiced in most countries.Tipping does have its place in our modern society.It will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude.
