7.Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good:the iPad.Instead of looking at nature,I checked my e-mail.Instead of paddling a small boat,I followed my Twitter feed(推特簡訊).Instead of reading great novels,I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning.I was behaving as if I were still in the office.My body was on vacation,but my head wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different:withdrawal from the Internet.I knew it wouldn't be easy,since I'm bad at self-control.But I was determined.I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past,making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration (沮喪).I was trapped,forced to go through with my plan.Largely breaking away from e-mail,Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites,I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to,really?I had to do what I had planned to do all along:read books.
This experience has had a happy ending.With determination and the strong support of my wife,I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet,realizing finally that it was I,not the iPad,that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi."I don't need it,"I said.
However,as we return to post-vacation life,a harder test begins:Can I continue when I'm back at work?
There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great.I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely.But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes,which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.
I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive.Here I hope this one worked.

32.What do we know about the author's last summer vacation?C
A.He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.
B.His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.
C.He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.
D.He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.
33.What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?B
A.He cut off his cellphone signal.
B.He handed his iPad to his wife.
C.He refused to cheat in his house.
D.He listened to the radio most of the time.

A.keep control of when and how to use the Internet
B.continue to road more and more books
C.stay away from the Internet for ever
D.stop checking what is being said right now completely
35.What is the author's opinion of a great vacation in the passage?C
A.A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.
B.A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.
C.A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.
D.A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.

2.Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is,they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much.Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds:What kind of impression am I making?Do they like me?Do I sound stupid?Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably.A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions.In general,the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people,who have low respect,are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.They need faith that they are doing"the right thing".Shy people are very sensitive to criticism.Itmakes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise.A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one:"You're just saying that to make me feel good,I know it's not true."It is clear that,while self-awareness is a healthy quality,overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely got rid of,or at least reduced?Fortunately,people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect.It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us has his or her own characteristics.We are interested in our own personal ways.The better we understand ourselves,the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.

D.a(chǎn) weak point of shy people
31.The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 3 refers toB.
