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．

A．communicate more easily

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

Shut Up Zoos，Not Animals!
You may think that visiting zoos is harmless fun，but you're wrong because zoos are just prisons（監(jiān)獄）for animals．The difference is that prisoners get out after a few years!Animals in cages look bored and are boring to look at．After all，we all know what an elephant looks like，we've seen them on TV．So why make animals suffer by shutting them up for our fun？Shut up the zoos instead!

I partly agree．But some zoos aren't there for our fun．I've just got back from Jersey Zoo．It saves rare（珍�。゛nemals and breeds them．Then it returns the babies to the wild．Not all zoos are the same，you know．

Quite agree!Every time I go to the zoo，I never look into the poor animal's eyes!Kept in the small and smelly cages，they look so lonely and sad．Hope one day they will return to nature，where they can live happily and freely with their families．Posted by：John on April 22，at 12：21   
Personally，I think zoos are fantastic places for children．They can play with animals and enjoy themselves so much there．Also，they learn a lot about animals．Why shut up？
