People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. “You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices we’re out fishing and hunting and going to each other’s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face-to-face.

29、 Success doesn’t begin until you begin the walk down the way towards your goals.
And your walk down the way always begins first with a baby step. Why do we call them baby steps? Are they really anything more than our next step down life’s way?
Baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith. We see others stepping out and we want to show our ability to walk by following them. As we grow, we continue our development by taking extra baby steps. Sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. After that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. If you say to yourself “I don’t want to make a fool of myself” or “I’d better be good at this”, you’ll probably never take the baby steps towards your goals and end up lying in your own self-pity.
As a culture, we focus on results. We think about every risk that must be taken to reach our goals. There are few people who are excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. They fail and succeed. Then, they build upon their abilities learned each time. They practice their skills and use their talents through baby steps before they are ready to prove them to the whole world.
So, learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. Know that you can depend on God to show you the way. As you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. That’s how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life.
【1】Which of the following is thought most important in taking baby steps?
A.Faith. B.Practice.
C.Skill. D.Examples.
【2】In the third paragraph, the writer expresses the view that .
A.we can’t expect to succeed without working hard at first
B.adults should learn from babies in dealing with hard tasks
C.we must make full use of our skills in order to get rewards
D.baby steps play the key role in leading us towards success
【3】The underlined word “sprint” in the last paragraph probably means“ ”.
A.slow rush B.sudden stop C.hard climb D.fast run
【4】What’s the writer’s tone(语气) in the text?
A.Light-hearted. B.Regretful.(遗憾的)
C.Encouraging. D.Concerned.

When I was laid off (失业)in 2015, I told people about it the way any young people would: by tweeting it. My hope was that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities.
To my surprise, the"strategy"worked. Shortly after my public plea for employment, a friend of a friend sent me a Facebook message alerting me to a(an)【1】 in her department. Three rounds of interviews later, this acquaintance became my boss(She’s now one of my closest friends)
Think of the parents you see in the drop-off one(下客区)at school. Your favorite waiter. The other dog owners at the park. Sociologists(杜会学家) call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects(前景) but they can also have a positive impact on our 【2】.

As we get older and priorities【5】from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social 【6】 becomes less important.

Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life---【9】 that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance----can spice up your day.
So next time you see a friendly face when you're out and about, you might as well try to【10】 pleasantries(寒暄).
32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Out of a 13-year-old girl’s summer boredom, I put up a tent in our yard and intended to sleep in it. It was midnight and my dad had been asleep upstairs. A girl knocked on the front door, asking if she could use our phone to call her parents.
I watched her struggle to dial the numbers. After she dialed the wrong numbers several times, I offered to do that for her. But after I dialed several times, there still no people answered the phone. Looking at the girl, I said, “Want to sleep in my tent?” She hesitated for a while and agreed.
I accompanied her into the darkness of the yard, entered the tent, and turned my lantern on. She told me how she got here. She and her parents had a nice dinner. After dinner, she expressed she wanted a beautiful dress in a special style, but it was too expressive for her parents. They argued fiercely(激烈地)and she left in anger. She wandered alone aimlessly(漫无目的地)until she found herself on an unfamiliar road. Her cellphone was in her parent’s bag and she seemed to have got lost. She wiped her eyes with my pillow, looked at me sadly, and then said, “Why didn’t my parents buy that dress for me?”
I knew just nodding obviously couldn’t solve the problem. “Do you think your parents love you?” I asked. Hearing my questions, she nodded and said regretfully, “My parents always meet my request as far as possible. This is my fault to ask them to buy that dress which they can’t afford. ” At the time, my phone rang. It turned out her parents’ call. Her parents sounded very worried and said they would come very soon. Then, my dad walked down the stairs.
