More than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.

The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims (受害者) had to leave all their things behind.

The National Flood Relief (救濟(jì)) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers (志愿者).

The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund (救災(zāi)基金會) will be started as soon as possible.”

According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.

How many times a day do you check your email? When you wake up? Before bed? A dozen times in between? The technology that was supposed to simplify our lives has become the vital time-suck: the average teen spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices, plus an additional hour just text-messaging friends.

The advantage of technological devices is connectedness: email lets us respond on the go, and we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history. But is it possible we’re more lonely than ever, too? That’s what MIT professor Sherry Turkle observes in her new book, Alone Together, a fascinating portrait of our changing relationship with technology. Turkle details the ways technology has redefined our comprehension of closeness and loneliness—and warns us of the danger of accepting such virtual(虛擬的) relationships in place of lasting emotional connections.

For Turkle, the biggest worry is the effect all these shallow connections have on our development. Is technology offering us the lives we want to live? “We’re texting people at a distance,” says Turkle, “We’re using lifeless objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we are alone—constantly on our mobile devices. It’s what I call a perfect storm of confusion about what’s important in our human connections.”

What can’t be denied is that technology, whatever its faults, makes life a whole lot easier. It allows us to communicate with more people in less time and makes conversation simple. But it can also be seductive(具有誘惑性的), providing more stimulation than our natural lives. There are usually some unhealthy videos online which remove teenagers’ attention from their schoolwork. Besides, some online activities make people addicted, which occupied their daily life and affected their ability to form real-world relationships.“Technology can be more immediately satisfying than the labor of building an intimate relationship,” said one highschool student, “Every time I text, I start to have some happy feelings.”

But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in real, face-to-face communication? Online, you can neglect others’ feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is less sympathetic than ever. That doesn’t spell disaster, says Turkle—but，

1.From the first paragraph we can infer that_________.

A. email checking helps people wake up early

B. technological device production has been simplified

D. people communicate mainly by text-messaging now

2.Turkle’s new book mainly discussed________.

A. ways to draw a fascinating portrait

B. how technology influences human relationships

D.being affected by the shallow connections through the mobile devices

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city．We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world．As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital．However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems, too．

One big disadvantage is money．It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing．Another disadvantage is pollution．I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside．Then there is the problem of traveling round．Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams．One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous．

Of course there are advantages．First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娛樂活動)．Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position．Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising——and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away．

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties．However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable．I certainly hope to move back there soon．

1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A．Staying on the farm．

B．Moving to the countryside.

C．Leaving home for the city．

D．Running away from the school.

A．He is very old now．

B．He is in good health.

C．He prefers driving a car．

A．express his opinions about way of life

B．describe his life in the countryside

C．a(chǎn)n interest in the outside world

D．persuade the reader to live in the city

4.How is the passage mainly developed?
