I recently visited London and traveled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people , almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see what they are all doing. Of course, being it is difficult to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the Internet, there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were playing , reading articles and listening to music, and I’m sure that as soon as they from the train station they would start texting, calling or checking their emails. There is a constant to everyone in the world, you have a mobile phone in your hand.

Recently, my smart-phone broke and had to be to the warehouse for for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really , basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was send , make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn’t mind not having constant about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It was quite and it allowed me to spend more time my surroundings—I could my time in London more, for example, and I could watch the people around me and really see what was going on.

, I knew that as soon as I got my smart-phone back I would be one of those people once again, to finding out what everyone is doing and my time playing games or checking social network sites. Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and I ever got my smart-phone back...

He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1904—1973)．

Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table became a major influence on his work.

However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up (掩飾) the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.

In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair.” Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile(流犯) made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed in his work.

1. The underlined word “Picasso” can probably be replaced by“________”．

A. most important person

B. famous person from Picasso

C. freedom fighter in Picasso

D. poem fans

2. Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because________.

A. literary greats usually used the pen name

3. Which of the following is not the theme of his works?

A. Love. B. Political struggle.

C. Social reform. D. Development of South America.

4. The last paragraph mainly tells us________.

A. the sea gave Neruda vast writing inspiration

B. the beautiful scenery along the Chile coast

C. Neruda's poems were widely read overseas

D. Neruda loved to write his poems near the sea

As many as 4 out of every 1,000 infants born today have permanent hearing loss. When parents learn that their child has hearing loss, they are faced with many difficult decisions. These decisions can include choosing therapies and schools, as well as finding financial help for hearing aids or cochlear implants (人工耳蝸).

Help Me Hear Foundation is a public charity that gives the gift of hearing to deaf children from families existing on very low incomes around the world. The foundation offers life-changing services for impoverished families, and provides real help for children with hearing impairment who may otherwise be left behind in schools or society due to their lack of hearing.

Help Me Hear Foundation believes that a child’s first years of development are critical. Being able to hear is vital to human, and Help Me Hear Foundation seeks to provide a positive lasting impression on society through its programs. Help Me Hear Foundation has many goals, including relieving the burden on communities with hearing-impaired infants and children, and strengthening the social structure of families and neighborhoods.

Recipients of Help Me Hear Foundation’s benefits receive state-of-the-art hearing devices that otherwise would cost thousands of dollars per child over the course of their lifetime. The Foundation raises money through donations for hearing aids and cochlear implants, which saves recipients and their families on average over $50,000 on related expenses.

The Foundation tries to be a transparent charity, and wants to be a catalyst for allowing deaf and hearing-impaired children to develop in a typical fashion alongside their peers.

Needy families can obtain information on specific services, and find out about deafness education by visiting the Help Me Hear Foundation’s website. The website offers helpful information on how hearing aids work, and how hearing aids ease many of the learning and language challenges that hearing-impaired children deal with on a daily basis.

Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate. I cannot change it.”

1. . You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your fate depends on you, not on any other outside factors

We want to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.

2. You just don' t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone ( unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work I

If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say: "Our time will come. " or 3. " Don' t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don' t just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It' s not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.

If someone' s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! 4.

So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to DO your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there. 5.

B. Of course not.

C. You'd better let it be.

D. Things will get better someday.

E. Do something to improve your life.

F. Remember that you harvest what you sow.
