Almost immediately, the screen went black and it stopped working. Soon I began to feel ▲ . I felt that I had lost a hand!I also realised that my life had been under the control of technology for a long time! Almost every day, I used the Internet for at least four hours, whether to do my homework, learn news, go shopping online or communicate with my friends. Something else that has surprised me most is using a pen and paper for writing. I find that writing has become a little strange to me!

Surely technology has made our lives easier, but it also has destroyed something.Since then, I’ve decided to use technology when I feel I really need to. Now I use my mobile phone less. Instead I write letters to my family and friends, taking time to really think about what I am saying to them. I’m not afraid of my life without the Internet any more. I’m glad about these small changes.( )31.Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?A. tiredB. excitedC. worriedD. relaxed( )32.

They also find that one year of music training doesn’t make a difference. Two years does.They did a two-year study by providing free music lessons for some students from poor families at a high school. Let’s take a look at the results. Overall (总的来说), more than 50% of the school’sstudents did not graduate (毕业). However, about 90% of the 44 students who took the free music lessons graduated and went to university.Adelina Flores’s daughter is one of those 44 students. She said she wasn’t surprised by the results. Her daughter had already told her she was getting better at maths after receiving the music training and that her reading skills had improved a lot. Adelina Flores added, “She’s grown to be more confident.”It’s amazing, isn’t it? However, there is one problem. Children have to actually play an instrument to get smarter. They can’t just listen to music. One of the researchers compared the difference to that of building up one’s body through exercise. She said, “You’re not going to become healthier just by watching sports.”( )36. About ______ of the students who took the music training didn’t graduate.A. 4B. 14C. 40D. 44( )37.
