I think we can live a happier life if we pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with. 【5】 Think about what parents are doing to children’s emotional well-being when they focus on their cell phones rather than their children.

【題目】Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium（千年）by the media. You may not be familiar with him.【1】Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.

He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz,Germany.In 1428,he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.【2】

Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.【3】That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by penmen.Gutenberg fashioned a font（字體）of over 300 characters,far larger than the fonts of today.To make this possible,he invented the variable-width mold（模具）and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.

【4】Between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible,Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books,a calendar,and so on.The Bible of 42 Lines,the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world,was completed by August 15,1456.

The discovery of the modem printing press changed the way information was delivered.【5】

Even today in the computer age,we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction,information,and for the pleasure of reading literature.

A.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.

B.But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways.

C.Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all mankind.

D.By 1450,Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Many years ago, I made a living by driving a car. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked.“Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness.“It's nothing,” I told her, “I just try to treat my passengers in the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you're such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It's not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I'm in no hurry,” she said.“I'm on my way to a hospice(臨終醫(yī)院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計(jì)價(jià)器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I'm tired. Let's go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?”she asked.
“Nothing,” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh, there are other passengers, ”I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
（1）The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.
A.show she was familiar with the city
B.see some places for the last time
C.let the driver earn more money
D.reach the destination on time
（2）Which of the following statements is Not true?
A.The old lady didn't have very long time.
B.The old lady was on her way to her daughter's home.
C.The taxi driver gave the old woman a little moment of joy.
D.The taxi driver didn't charge the old lady any money.
（3）What can we learn from the story?
A.Giving is always a pleasure.
B.People should respect each other.
C.An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D.People should learn to appreciate others' concern.
