19.Aren't mobile phone,e-mail and voice mail supposed to help us communicate more easily?Sadly,that's not always the case.Take the other day for example,when I was walking through the park with my friend,suddenly his mobile phone rang and he answered it--leaving me alone and cutting our conversation dead!In fact,the park was filled with people talking on their mobile phones.They were passing other people without even looking at them,or stopping to walk their dogs.Clearly,people preferred the voice on the mobile phone to human contact(聯(lián)系).
Why is it that the more connected we get,the more disconnected I feel?Development in communication technology seems to keep people from human contact.With e-mail over the Internet,we can communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voive mail,you can have conversations without even meeting that person.Even some food stores are using self-scanners(自助掃瞄儀)so that you can check yourself out.As the contact between human beings becomes automated(自動化的),my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger.Don't get me wrong.I'm not against machines.I also own a mobile phone,a voice mail system,and an e-mail account.Giving them up isn't a good idea,as they are useful to have around.It's just that when they keep us away from human contact,I begin to feel sad.More and more,I find myself answering e-mail instead of talking to people.The technology that was made to help keep us in contace with each other is,in fact making me feel more lonely.
What is to be done?Well,I've made myself a plan to use less technology:no e-mailing people who live near me,and no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.

42.The example in Paragraph I shows that people nowC.
A.communicate more easily   
B.dislike talking face to face at all   
C.prefer talking on their mobile phones   
D.a(chǎn)re only good at using mobile phones
43.The underlined word disconnected in Paragraph 2 probably meansA.
A.lonely         
B.satisfied          
C.stupid          
D.intersted
44.It can be inferred(推斷)from the passage thatD.
A.the writer is going to give up mobile phones   
B.machines are now not useful to have around   
C.machines actually keep people closer to each other   
D.the writer decides not to phone others a lot when with friends
45.Which is the best title of the passage?A
A.Technology and Human Life   
B.The Importance of Technology   
C.Technology and Human Contact   
D.The Development of Technology.

Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白領(lǐng)) workers.Psychologists (心理學家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service.Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection(聯(lián)系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter.
