阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Michael, a typical American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their
bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their check. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
小题1:After work, Michael likes to ________.
A.listen to music at the concert hall
B.watch a movie in his living room
C.run a program on his computer in his office
D.play baseball with his workmates
小题2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Clerks will be able to work at home.
B.One can play baseball on the computer.
C.One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D.One can borrow books from libraries at home.
小题3:The sentence “Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ________.
A.Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B.Michael is not a real person but the lifestyle does exist
C.Michael has ambitions but he can’t make his dreams come true
D.Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays
小题4:What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A.Games and sports.B.Personal banking.
C.Music and films.D.International business.

It was 4 o"clock in the morning when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just  41 in with severe burns on his face,neck and arms.We have called for a(n)  42  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was  43 
The doctor described the  44 ,which caused the burns.At 6 am,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.When they   45  the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames  46 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
  47 ,one of the boys was quick-minded,grasped my son,and  48 him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not in  49  to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).
After he  50 from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months  51 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch, very  52__ scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not  53 it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.’’
I  54  this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to  55 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not  56 , so he made the  57 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe  58 people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different,or dressed differently,people would like us better. 
But you see,people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes,if you are judging yourself by these same  59 standards.Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  60 yourself,and your beauty will shine through.
