Solitude can be hard to discover ______it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have ______our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n)      as we've known it. People have become so     in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted     they'd rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog (寫博客), not only from our   , but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become     on digital technology simply because they've grown accustomed to it, and at this point not     it would make them an outsider.   , many jobs and careers require people to be    . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a     to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who     wants it. Computers can be shut      and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be "connected" and " on" has many   , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up     on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel     and forced to answer unwanted calls or   to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society     across generations. Some find today's technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone's view on the subject, it's hard to imagine what life would be like     daily advancements in technology.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(溫度計(jì))for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. __【小題1】__  We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don't feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in winter and a certain coolness in summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. __【小題2】__
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水銀) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收縮). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. __【小題3】__
First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.
__【小題4】__
Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.
__【小題5】__ As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.

A.We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.
B.Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.
C.Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
D.The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.
E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal them together.
G. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.

Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. They move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where they raise their children to the home where they plan to live in retirement (退休). With each move they are forever making new friends, who become part of their new life at that time.
