Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Task 1 Free Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service. Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor. Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase. Many people rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling—especially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites. However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, "our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media," said Lonely Planet, the world's largest travel guide brand. Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. "Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit," she wrote. "I had believed I was catching moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travel's deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier (冰川) or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos?" Would you like to have an unplugged? holiday?
1. According to the passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT ______.
A.getting out of a library that has no access to the Internet
B.thinking ill of a hotel without Wi-Fi
C.enjoying travelling better without carrying any Hi-Tech equipment
Task 2 Scientists find that hard working people live much longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that people without a steady job are in poorer health than jobholders. Why is work good for people's health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people may feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are often those who are busy with their work. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between men and the world around them. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful and beneficial to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects one in spirit and emotion and is inclined to make him ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words and they may have a feeling of endless satisfaction. From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.
1. Why are housewives not as healthy as career women? ______
A.Because they are poorer than career women.
B.Because they have more children than career women.
C.Because they feel lonely more easily than career women.
3. What will happen to those who have lost their work? ______
A.They are likely to be in poor health.
B.They will lose everything at home.
C.They can live as long as those who work.
D.They will have more time to make new friends.
