     About this time every year, I get very nostalgic(懷舊的). Walking through my neighborhood on a
fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children
playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children,
carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for
sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with
a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my
street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked
around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because
neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy
my precious hill and sell the property to contractors.
    It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and won't be around
much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing
almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the
crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today
are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and
another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is
too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these
days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I
thought they would live forever.
    The "comings and goings" of the younger generation of my street are now mostly "goings" as friends
and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The
boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games
or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and
move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have
new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a
few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up
and go away makes me long for the good old days.
    Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into
several lots for now homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of
that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the
children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of
my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When
the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder
of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.
     There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But
something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change
comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be
gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I
remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will
be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child.

     It's enough to give anyone an earache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during
their working lives, research has shown.
     You won't be surprised to learn that women spend 18 months longer than men on the phone-who only
chat for an average of three years.
     Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls - 277,000 for men and 288,000 for women.
But women spend 13,500 more hours in total on their conversations.
     More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as long on a personal
call (10 minutes ) as on a business one.
     Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll (民意調(diào)查) found.
     However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the line is to say
"Someone's at the door." Other favourites include "I'm cooking" and "I need to go to the toilet".
     Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speak
to the caller.
     One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did
not mind calls up to midnight. 
     Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they should ring but never got round to
doing so.
     Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom company Toucan, said, "As a nation, we love to chat on the
phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in a lifetime."
1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Women spend about five years talking on the phone during their lifetime.
B. Women make and receive the same number of calls as men do.
C. On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls.
D. Usually a call made by a man is longer than one by a woman.
2. According to the poll, when someone on the phone says "Sorry, someone's at the door", he or
    she probably means ________.
 A. he/she is going to the toilet
B. he/she wants to stop chatting
C. he/she is too tired to talk any longer
D. he/she must go to open the door for someone
3. From the text, we know that _________.
A. calls around midnight are acceptable to some people
B. 80% of people always refuse to answer a phone call
C. people never ring the people in their address books
D. Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled
4. What Joseph Blass says in the last paragraph shows that _______.
A. it's no wonder that we all love to chat on the phone
B. people in many countries love to chat on the phone
C. people insist on often phoning their family and friends
D. the amount of time people spend on the phone was unexpected
