27、   When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone, which makes me unusual. Anyway, the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1

The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to her classmates or friends at school. If the phone didn’t appear, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2

The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life.” says a woman who once had an accident in her car. Trapped inside, she managed to call the ambulance (救护车) to save her.

Point 3

The mobile takes away our private time. It allows the marketing manager of any company to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4

The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says. “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near — but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5

The telephone allows us to reach out beyond(超越) our own lives. Today we can talk to several strangers at the same time on chat lines (At least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). Actually, we can talk across the world. And, with the phone, we can also surf the Internet.

【1】What does point 1 try to tell us?

C．People communicate more because of more traffic.

A．people in separate offices can be friends with the help of mobile phones

B．the telephone is changing our lives like other pieces of technology

C．people can talk to some strangers at the same time through the phone

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

Most of you have found the game in newspapers. Usually it has 15 letters and starts with C. Now that you have all these hints (提示), can you tell what it is? The answer is a "crossword puzzle(纵横字谜) ".

You may not be familiar with it, but the game is certainly p【1】 in the US. First invented in 1913 by a newspaper journalist named Arthur Wynne, crossword puzzles soon became part of the country's well-known culture. Books and video games were made about crossword puzzles. D【2】 were even put on trains for players to look up the words. And over 100 years later, crossword puzzles are still loved by American people.

At the end of last month. The New York Times published its 1【3】 puzzle in its history: a 50x50 square with 728 hints that was five times the size of the newspaper's usual puzzles. It may take even skilled puzzle solvers days to finish it.

This kind of love for a game may be hard to understand, but Merl Reagle, one of the most famous crossword creators in the US, explained it, “Crosswords are a dream e【4】 that no one's been able to take." he once told 1 he Washington Post. "The human mind wants a hint".

Hints are the most important part of a puzzle. They lead you r【5】 to the words. In a basic Christmas-themed puzzle, for example, one of the hints could be, “Santa fills it with presents for the children. The word here is “stocking. There can be difficult cultural questions about subjects like Native American history. In order to c【6】 the puzzles, you have to be familiar with the names of places, people, foods and even farming tools. But the puzzle is not just there to frighten players with hard-to-get hints and difficult words. It’s a game after all so fun comes first.

"You want to come up with an idea that's fresh and interesting. And then you want to fill the crossword with as many good, lively, colorful words as you can," Will Shortz, the crossword puzzle editor for I lie New York Times, told Business Insider.

This is why crossword puzzles are not meant to be finished in a rush. put a lot of work into these jokes in the puzzle. I don't want someone to get through it too f【7】 Reagle once told Wired magazine.
