16、tays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesnt talk to any other human beings, and he doesnt se
17、e any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. With access to a large
18、central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants can do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They never have to actually see the people theyre dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid is changing. Workers salaries will be automatically
19、paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking is changing, too.

21、music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie.

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his
24、weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. The young man then3asked me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. “I choose to be cheerful.” I said. Then I told them a story.In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down th
25、e freeway from where I live. One day I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died and wouldnt start again. So I left my car there and marched down the road to
26、the college.As soon as I got there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day.” I replied, smiling.“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled. “What do you mean?”“M
27、y car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway but it didnt.” I replied, “Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance from here. Im still able to teach my class, and Ive been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.” The secretarys
28、eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class. So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasnt the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a s
29、tudents observation that I was cheerful. An Indian wise man once said, “Who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say.” I suppose it must be so.34. Why did the writer tell his students the story?A. To share his lucky experience.B. To make his class more lively.C. To draw all students att

I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they werent quite ready to let me in yet.4“Please wait in here, Ms.
33、Abdullah,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when Id flown to Montreal to make a speech at a book-signing event. That time they detained (扣押) me for 45 minutes. Today
34、 we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone whos on our wanted list. Were going to have to check you out with Washington.”“Ho
35、w long will it take?”“Hard to saya few minutes,” he said, “Well call you when were ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadnt decided anything about me.“Isnt this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Cant you just look me up?” “Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour an
36、d a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“Im just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of
37、course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.” I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant
38、.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “Im an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention, I was approached by one of the officers. “Youre free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us m
39、oved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you arent happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I dont knowI dont know of anyone whos ever written to them befo
40、re.” Then he added, “By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile wed seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our trying experience, probably the most frequ
41、ent advice Ive heard in response is to change my name. But a name is an integral part of anyones personal and professional identityjust like the town youre born in and the place where youre raised.Like my father, Ill keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new view on what dive

Richards All day long the little boy had worked hard, in the field and barn and shed, for his parents were poor farmers, and c
45、ould not pay a workman. But at sunset there came an hour that was all his own, for his father had given it to him. Then the boy would go up to the top of a hill and look across at another hill that rose some miles away. On that far hill stood a house with windows of clear gold and diamonds. They sho
46、ne so brightly that it made the boy squint at them, but after a while the people in the house put up shutters, as it seemed, and then it looked like any common farmhouse. The boy supposed they did this because it was suppertime; and then he would go intothe house and have his supper of bread and mil
47、k, and go to bed.One day the boys father called him and said: You have been a good boy, and have earned a holiday. Take this day for your own, and try to learn some good things. The boy thanked his father and kissed his mother. Then he put a piece of bread in his pocket, and started off to find the house with the golden windows.It was a pleasant walk. His bare feet made marks in the white dust, and when he looked back, the footprints seemed to be following him, and keeping him com
