21、Passage 1 When asked by Conan if his daughters had smart phones eomedian Louis CK explained that he had successfully fended them off by simply replying.“No,you cannot have it.It is bad for you .” He instantly became my hero as I was mired in difficult negotiations with my tee-year-old daughter over one.And frankly,she was winning.Was it possible to say no to my daughter,as CK suggested ?I had not even known I was allowed to,if the guinea pigs,the dogs,and things for her doll Molly were any indiedtion.CK rationalized,“I am not raising the children .I am raising the grown-ups that they are going to be.So just because the other stupid kids have phones does not mean that my kid has to stupid.”Now I knew I did not want my kid to grow up stupid like her friends.I needed to explain this to her.This is what CK told Conan and me. Cell phones are“toxic,especially for kids”,he said,because they don’t help them learn empathy,one of the nicer human emotions.When we text,we do not see or hear a visceral reaction .The response we get is in cold,hard text-speak.Why are kids mean he asked.“Because they’re trying it out.They look at another kid and go.‘You’re fat.’Then they see the kid’s face scrunch up and think that doesn’t feel good.”Texting “you’re fat”allows you to bypass the pain. CK went on to explain to us that smart phones rob us of our ability to be alone.Kids use smart phones to occupy their time:Must text! Must play game!Must look up more tiny American Girls socks online for Molly!!!CK asked,what happened to zoningout?After all,one of the joys of being human is allowing our minds to wander.With cell phones,kids are always preoccupied.They never daydream,expect in class.And here’s something else we’re missing :our right to be miserable.This was a right I hadn’t realized I desired until CK pointed out that it’s yet another of the essentail human emotions. CK gave the example of driving by yourself and auddenly realizing that you’re alone.Not “Oh,guess I can’t use the lane.”alone.Dark,brooding sadness causes so mangy drivers to grab smart phone and reach out to another living soul. “Everybody’s murdering each other with their cars”as they text because they dread being alone.Too bad-they’re missing out on a life-affirming experience. “I was in my car one time,and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Jungleland’came on.He sounds so far away,making me really sad.And I think ,I’ve got to get the phone and write hi to 50 people.I was reaching for the phone,and I thought ,don’t !Just be sad.” So CK pulled over and allowed himself to sob like a little girl denicd a nice thing for her American Girl doll.“It was beautiful. Sadness is poetic.You’re lucky to live sad moments,”he said.Because he didn’t fight and allowed himself to be sadness I was grateful to feel sad,and then I met it with true profound happiness.The thing is,because we don’t want that first bit of sad,we push it away with that little phone.So you never feel complectly sad or completcly happy.You just feel kind of satisfied.And then you die.That’s why I don’t want to get phones for my kids”.

Last year my father promised to take me on a holiday if I did well in my exams. When I got straight A' s, Dad said, “How about a weekend at the Botanical Gardens?" However, my mum said, “No, you promised a special holiday, I think you ought to keep your word. ”And, despite the expense, he did. My dream was to see some real snow, so in the Christmas vacation we flew to Seoul, South Korea, and then took a shuttle bus which runs back and forth between Seoul and Muju Resort. As the bus climbed through the mountains, we saw the snow on the trees. I was dying to get out and play with it! At last, we reached the resort and quickly scrambled out of the bus. No one in my family had ever touched snow before. We were all like little children-we picked it up, made snowballs, and threw them at each other! Then we checked in at the hotel. Our room overlooked one of the ski slopes. The slope was floodlit, so we watched people skiing until 10 p.m. We could not wait to try it ourselves. The next day we had our first skiing lesson. We rented our ski suits, boots And skis, and went outside onto the snow. Wearing skis for the first time makes you feel very strange. Suddenly you find you cannot even walk. Our instructor took us onto a gentle slope, and showed us some basic skills. In order to go up a hill, you have to stand sideways, and go up step by step. You must point the tips of your skis together so that you can stop. However, the tips must not cross, or you will fall. You should not ski alone in case you fall and get injured. To be honest, that first lesson was not a great success, and kept on falling down! However, the next day I definitely improved, I only fell over a few times, and I managed to do a few longer runs. I felt pleased with myself, and the instructor congratulated me, so I felt great. Although it was very cold, I spent most of that holiday skiing. It was the most wonderful time of my life. Nevertheless, it was all over too. Now have decided to work part--time this summer, so I can earn enough money for another super skiing holiday. 简答题 30分
