Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones can be wonderful, liberating tools of 50 , freeing us from the confines (界限) of an office and providing more leisure time, they often do the exact 51 . Cell phone use has 52 the line between work and non-work time, increasing stress and tension within families and between friends. As Eric Slate, author of Technoslave commented in his essay: "It seems the more " 53 " we are, the more detached (不相连的) we become."
There is a risk of being too connected. While I was hiking in Spain, I got 54 a few times. I saw new sights and was surprised by 55 landscapes and towns I wouldn"t have otherwise come across. Back in the US, whenever I got lost, I would always call a friend for 56 on my cell phone. With a cell phone, you"re less 57 to go down the wrong street and see new things or unexpectedly meet new people.
So, when I recently returned home to Burlington, Vermont, I 58 my cell phone and traded in an old, rusty bike for a regular landline telephone that was connected to the wall and everything. Now, I go outside and don"t make a phone call or check my phone. 59 , I"ve seen things in my neighbourhood I 60 noticed before, like a big flower garden around the block and artwork and sculptures down the road. Now that I"m not __61___ my cell phone, I"ve met new people on the street and at the supermarket, started 62 with neighbours I haven"t spoken with before and talk with my friends face-to-face instead of over the phone. .
Instead of 63 me from the world, getting rid of my cell phone has helped me become more in touch with my community. I am no longer a 64 of my cell phone.

B
To: manager@ tastytreat.com.ca
Date: Monday, 7 October, 3:34p.m.
From: raymondyuen@ canada.net
Subject: Complaint
Dear Mr. Price,
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.
It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic(蒜). When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay.
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund (退款) for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.
You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Raymond Yuen

The answer is very simple. It"s all in how they sense their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem-free life is an illusion —a mirage(海市蜃楼) in the desert. Then accept that fact.
Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs, its peaks and its valleys. No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time. Problems do end. They are all resolved in time.
You may not be able to control the times, but you can compose your response. You can turn your pain into profanity —or into poetry. The choice is up to you. You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will react to it.
The positive solution to a problem may require courage to do it. When you control your reaction to the seemingly uncontrollable problem of life, then in fact you do control the problem’s effect on you. Your reaction to the problem is the last word! That’s the bottom line. What will you let this problem do to you? It can make you tender or tough. It can make you better or bitter. It all depends on you.
In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so because they"ve chosen to react positively to their dilemma. Tough times never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick it out. History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan.
81. What is the life of illusion? (no more than 5 words)
82. Find a sentence which has the same meaning with the underlined sentence. (no more than 4 words)
83. What is the secret to enable people to succeed? (no more than 9 words)
84. What is the best title of this text? (no more than 4 words)

You may argue with your partner and end up in a quarrel; or you disagree with a friend, and have an argument with him or her. In either case, you end up feeling low, and want to make up as soon as possible. The only way is to say “sorry”! This is the most precious word in the English language. Read on to find out how to say sorry in the right way.
The first thing to remember is not to hide your feelings. Apologize only if you really do feel sorry. Do not lie or give false excuses. Even if it takes the person a long time to respond(回应),do not let your temper rise, since you cannot expect a person to accept your apology at once. Give your partner time to cool off a bit, and then apologize. It is always better to sort things out quickly. Remember that it does no good to keep arguing about who is right or wrong when tempers are flying.
When apologizing, always look the other in the eyes, and stay calm. Do you want to know how to say sorry to a girl? Once you’ve accepted that you’ve make a mistake, meet her in person to apologize. Never say sorry to a girl on the phone. You can say sorry with flowers or with a card. Small gifts are also very effective.
It can be difficult to say sorry after a fight. A written apology for an unforgivable mistake, such as cheating, is often the best way.
Owning up to a mistake is very important, and it takes courage to apologize for bad behaviour. Your effort will not change the past, but can have a big effect on the future.

Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable.Mary and Joey"s paths cross at a ball.They meet and falHn love with each other.But when Mary has to.rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course, there is a wicked(邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn"t get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
