13.Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices,while driving,walking,shopping,even sitting in toilets.When connected electronically,they are away from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted.One survey reported that"addicted"was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices.One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep,cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products,not to actually improve our quality of life.They have successfully created a cultural disease.Consumers willingly give up their freedom,money and time to catch up on the latest information,to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a pathological(病態(tài)的)relationship with time-sucking technology,where they serve technology more than technology serves them.I call this technology servitude.I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices?That is the vital question.Who is really in charge of my life?That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology.When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week,then we can regain control and personal freedom,become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology.Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that"too much of a good thing is wonderful."But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez,an executive coach at Google acknowledged that"we can be swept away by our technologies."To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology.

45.The underlined word"allure"in Paragraph 2probably meansB.
A.advantage    
B.attraction    
C.adaption    
D.attempt
46.From the passage,technology companies aim toA.
A.attract people to buy their products   
B.provide the latest information
C.improve people's quality of life    
D.deal with cultural diseases
47.It can be inferred from this passage that peopleD.
A.consider too much technology wonderful   
B.have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C.can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D.may enjoy life better without overused technology
48.What's the author's attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?C
A.Neutral.
B.Sceptical.
C.Disapproving.
D.Sympathetic.

10.Gimmicky-and expensive-new gloves allow chatterboxes to take the term‘handsfree'to a new level-by talking into them as they make a call.
The gloves are known as‘Talk to the Hand'and cost£1.000a pair.

Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking   their phone out of their pocket or handbag.
Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves-one in pink and the other in brown and   yellow.They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves.If demand is high,they will then be produced on a larger scale.

The Talk to the Hand mobile phone gloves are the second product in a series that O2  Recycle and Miles have created.Miles is now working on combining phones with handbags-so people don't spend time rummaging(翻查)around in their bags to find a phone when it rings.

61.For what purpose is the text written?B
A.To show the harmfulness of old handsets.
B.To introduce Sean Miles'new designs.
C.To warn people not to throw electronic waste.
D.To ask more people to join O2Recycle.
62.What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?A
A.How the new gloves are designed.    B.What the gloves are made of.
C.Who designed the gloves.           D.How O2Recycle is managed.
63.What can we learn about Talk to the Hand?D
A.It has been widely used at present.
B.It has a pair of gloves that can function as a phone.
C.It can be connected directly to any mobile handset.

C.It promotes the technology of IT.
D.It is now recycling gadgets around the world.D
65.What is the passage mainly about?
A.New mobiles that are fashionable.
B.Sean Miles who set up a phone company.
C.Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.
