When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 36 me to do so. She said, “Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 37 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I 38 her.
Since I started to work for a 39 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 40 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 41 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got __42____ about food in different countries.
Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 43 necessary when I happened to read a famous cook’s comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 44 around us at the same. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 45 ?” Those words reminded me of my 46 advice. As information technology 47 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 48 you can get from traveling.
Today there are people who 49 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people 50 not with each other but into their microphones. It seems as if such people are 51 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 52 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 53 more fruitful. However, we should never let it 54 our time for face-to-face communication. Let’s make use of information technology more 55 , and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.

“What is the most important thing you’ve done in your life?” The question was put to me during a presentation I gave to a group of lawyers.
The answer came to me in an instant. It’s not the one I gave, because the situation was not right. As a lawyer in the entertainment industry, I knew the audience wanted to hear some amusing stories about my work with well-known people, but here’s the true answer:
The most important thing I’ve ever done occurred on October 8,1990. I began the day playing tennis with an old friend I hadn’t seen for a while. Between points we talked about what had been happening in each other’s lives. He and his wife had just had a baby boy, who was keeping them up at night.
While we were playing, a car came screaming up the road toward the courts. It was my friend’s father, who shouted to my friend that his baby had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital. In a flash my friend was in the car and gone, disappearing in a cloud of dust.
For a moment I just stood there, paralyzed(呆若木鸡). Then I tried to figure out what I should do. Follow my friend to the hospital? There was nothing I could accomplish there, I convinced myself. My friend’s son was in the care of doctors and nurses, and nothing I could do or say would affect the outcome. Be there for moral support? Well, maybe. But my friend and his wife both had large families, and I knew they’d be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support, whatever happened. All I could do at the hospital, I decided, was to get in the way. Also, I had planned a full day with my family, who were waiting for me to get home. So I decided to head back to my house and check in my friend later.
As I started my car, I realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts. I now faced another problem. I couldn’t leave the keys in the truck. So I decided to go to the hospital and give him the keys.
When I arrived, I was directed to a room where my friend and his wife were waiting. As I had thought, the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife. I went in and stood by the door, trying to decide what to do next. Soon a doctor appeared. He approached my friend and his wife, and in a quiet voice told them that their son had died.
For a long time the two held each other and cried, unaware of the rest of us standing around in pained silence. After they had calmed themselves, the doctor suggested they spend a few moments with their son.
My friend and his wife stood up and walked past their families. When they reached the door, my friend saw me standing in the corner. He came over and hugged me and started to cry. My friend’s wife hugged me, too, and said , “Thanks for being here.”
For the rest of that morning, I sat in the emergency room of that hospital and watched my friend and his wife hold the body of their infant son, and say goodbye.
It’s the most important thing I have ever done. The experience taught me two lessons.
First: The most important thing I’ve ever done happened when I was completely helpless. None of the things I had learned in university, in three years of law school or in six years of legal practice were of any use in that situation. Something terrible was happening to people I cared about, and I was powerless to change the outcome. All I could do was standing by and watching it happen. And yet it was critical that I do just that--- just be there when someone needed me.
Second: The most important thing I’ve done almost didn’t happen because of things I had learned in classroom and professional life. Law school taught me how to take a set of facts, break them down and organize them. These skills are critical for lawyers. When people come to us for help, they’re often stressed out and depend on a lawyer to think logically. But while learning to think, I almost forget how to feel. Today I have no doubt that I should have leapt into my car without hesitation and followed my friend to the hospital.
From that experience I learned that the most important thing in life isn’t the money you make, the status you attain or the honors you achieve. The most important thing in life is the kids’ team you coach or the poem you write----or the time when you’re just somebody’s friend.
55. When he was asked about the most important thing he had done in life at a presentation, the author _______.
A. felt it was not an interesting question B. thought for a while and spoke his mind
C. gave an answer from a lawyer’s point of view D. didn’t give the real answer
56. When he saw his friend rush to the hospital, the author could not decide whether to follow mainly because he thought _______.
A. He had to stay with his family B. His friend did not need his help.
C. He would not be of much help D. the baby would be in the doctor’s care
57. What can we infer from the author’s description of the scene at the hospital?
A. He found out that he was in the way.
B. He would have felt guilty if he had not been there.
C. He regretted that he went too later.
D. His friend would have felt better if he had not been there.
58. Which of the following is conveyed in this story?
A. Family and relatives can not take the place of friends.
B. More people are a great comfort when one is in trouble.
C. It is best to be here when someone needs you.
D. You can certainly help a friend if you want to.

A. what is taught in school is usually of no use.
B. a lawyer cannot learn much in classrooms
C. a lawyer should know people’s feeling first
D. he needs to be able to feel as well as think logically

A. is fond of writing poems
B. is going to coach the kid’s team
C. is determined to make friends with everybody
D. is fully aware of the importance of being helpful to those in need
