A

One day, I happened to find a wallet. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner’s name. There was nothing inside it except some change and an old photograph——a picture of a woman. I put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station.

That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I could not remember where I had seen her. While talking, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the woman in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to get the wallet. As the policeman handed it over, he said that it was amazing that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost it.

When I asked my daughter what 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, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives.

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.

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Johnston. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought in doctors.

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

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Anton Ella 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 strangers at the same time on chat lines. 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 reach the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

29. How do you understand “The telephone creates the need to communicate …”?

A. People don’t communicate without telephone.

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

C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.

D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

30. What may the author’s daughter agree to?

A. Mobile phones are useless except the case of emergency.

B. Mobile phones bring convenience but secret to people.

C. Mobile phones are fashionable and expensive.

D. Mobile phones are a must in modern times.

31. Which point supports the idea that phones can prevent loneness away?

A. Point 1. B. Point2. C. Point3. D. Point 4.

32. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers at the same time through_______.

A. the TV screen B. a fax machine

C. the phone line linked to the computer D. a microphone

33. The best heading for the passage is ________.

A. Phone Power B. Kinds of Phone

C. How to Use Phones D. Advantages of Phones

34. What does the underlined word “hooked” mean in the last paragraph?

A. fastened B. broke C. connected D. separated

C

Dear Mummy, I have been in your body for three months. But today I fell quite scared. I know you are very sad, and I can remember two days ago, how happy you were when you saw my first picture on the screen. The happiness stopped when the doctor told you I was a girl.

Your whole body became cold and Papa didn’t say a word, either. That night my little world broke down when I heard Papa said that a second girl has no right to be born. I have the right to be born, Mummy. Is being a girl that terrible? What crimes have I done?

You cried and shouted “NO”! However, you then gave in with tears. I could feel your pain, Mummy. But, no, Mummy! Don’t kill me!

Mummy, I want to be born. I want to live with you. I want you to hug and love me. I want to be your pride. I want to play with my elder sister. Mummy, I want to celebrate my birthday.…

Maybe I ask too much. Your cry lasted the whole night and it became louder with my kicking. Once my little movements had given you so much delight but now it causes more pain than happiness.

Grandma had told you it’s a man’s world, and she once gave you a detailed description of how girls were ill treated in the real world. Mummy, it is this that you are so scared of? You doubted whether you were able to protect another girl against being hurt?

I guess there is only one person who is really eager about my birth. That is my elder sister. She even spent hours thinking of a name for me. Anupriya, isn’t that a beautiful name for a girl. I promise I will be as good as a boy, even better, if you give me a chance, if you let me live.

In this waiting room, we have been sitting for quite a long time. My only crime is my sex, and my punishment will be death.

35. When you are reading the letter, you can feel a(n) _______ atmosphere.

A.encouraging B. miserable C. angry D. delighted

36. Who might be the happiest if she is born according to the passage?

A.Elder sister B. Grandma C. Grandpa D. Father

B. Men are taller than women D. Some women are more important than men

39. What is the final decision from the passage?
