Hana al—Shaibani was born on August 27, 1942．She was the only girl in her family, having two older and two younger brothers．Her father, a politician and journalist, loved her and played a large role in shaping the woman she grew up to be．
In 1956, Iraq's Baath party started to grow in popularity．Its slogans declaring liberty, Arab socialism and unity attracted the younger generation, including Hana．Although she was only 14 years old, she turned member of the party-receiving her education with her political activities．During her university years, she worked for the Baath party during the day and attended classes in the evening．
In 1958, following the overthrow of Iraq's monarchy （君主政治） , Hana rose through the ranks and was chosen to lead the party's female members．She was just 16．Two years later, she was selected as one of three representatives of the Iraqi Baath party to attend the Arab National Baath Party Conference, held that year in Beirut．Still just a teenager, she had already achieved more than most women from her region could ever imagine．
As was known to everyone, she was determined and fearless．One of the most memorable family stories tells of the time in 1959 when she left the house to join an organization against the rule of the then prime minister, Abdel Karim Qassim．The atmosphere was tense and a number of the organisers would later be killed．But Hana was determined to attend．
Sensing trouble, she hid the gun and carried beneath her skirt as she walked down the stairs．Her father begged with her not to go．He explained that as a patriot he understood her sense of duty, but added that his love for her went beyond all else．Hana replied; "Papa, you were once a patriotic man and when you were called upon to fight, you did．Please understand, so that I may go with your blessing rather than without．" Her father could not stop her．

When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked   26 at me and said “I love you”. I didn’t know what to say.    27  several seconds I stood there and    28  down at him. My first thought was that he must need   29  while doing his homework   30   he was trying to prepare me for some   31  .
“   32  ,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment.”
The next day I   33  his teacher at my office to find out more about this “   34  ” and how the other parents had responded (反應(yīng)).
“  35  , most of the fathers did the same as you ,: the teacher explained, “Feeling   36  is an important part of   37 . It’s something all human beings  38 . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too   39  that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be  40  to tell his dad that he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for  41 of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me  42 , I held on to him for an extra second. And just   43 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly  44 , “Hey, I love you .”
I didn’t know if saying that would make  45 of us healthier, but we did feel pretty better.

Count Me Out
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned, the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do it they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude about conjurers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
小題1:What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?
A．Get me out of the Internet world.
B．Computers are trying to take control of life.
C．Modern technology pushes old people away.
D．Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.
小題2:According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are         .
A．unnecessaryB．convenientC．expensiveD．a(chǎn)dvanced
小題3:What might the author like about the future computer?
A．Taking blames.B．Curing illnesses.
C．Delivering messages.D．Responding to emotions.
