     A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.

    I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and... I became invisible, absent from the conversation. The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction（互动）. With email and instant messaging over the internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct  entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom  has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

    As almost every contact we can imagine between human  beings gets automated（自动化）, the alienation index（疏远指数） goes up. You can't  even call a person to get the phone number of another person  any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.

    I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone,  an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise... they're a great help to us. It's some of  their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.

    More and more. I find myself hiding behind e­mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail   picked up because I didn't really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier ...or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.

     So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant   messaging with people who live near me, no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.

    1.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

    A. The Advance of Communications Technology

    B. The Consequences of modern Technology

    C. The Story of Communications Revolution

    D. The Automation of Modern Communications

    2.The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that ________.

    A. the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone call

    B. you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you

    C. modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-­to­-face talk

    D. people can now go to work without going to the office

    3.The writer feels that the use of modern communications is ________.

    A. satisfying   B. encouraging  C. disappointing D. embarrassing

    4.The passage implies that ________.

    A. modern technology is bridging the people

    B. modern technology is separating the people

    C. modern technology is developing too fast

    D. modern technology is interrupting our communication

    　　A soldier named John Blanchard struck up(建立)a pen pal friendship with a woman, Sally Maynell, who he had never met in the months before World War II．When the fighting began, their correspondence still continued．

    　　Over the next year or so the two got to know each other through their letters．Even so, when Blanchard asked for a photograph, the woman refused．She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like．

    　　When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting－7∶00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York．“You’ll recognise me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my suit．”

    　　At the station a beautiful young woman approached him．She was wearing a green suit and was everything that he hoped Miss Maynell would be．But there was no red rose．There was another woman．She was well past 40 and had her hair tucked(塞)under a worn hat．She was more than plump, her fat feet thrust(挤)into shoes．Her pale face was gentle and her gray eyes had a warm twinkle(闪光)．On her coat, there was a red rose．

    　　He did not hesitate．His fingers gripped the small worn copy of the book that was to identify him to her．“This will not be love, but it will be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a feeling for which I have been and must ever be grateful．” he thought．

    　　“I’m John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell．I am so glad you could meet me．May I take you to dinner?” he asked．

    　　The woman’s face broadened into a smile．“I don’t know what this is about, son．” she answered, “But the young lady in the green suit who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat．And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street．She said it was a kind of test!”
