　　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.

　　? ? 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.

　　24. How does the author feel about his last summer holiday?

　　A. Satisfied.

　　B. Disappointed.

　　C. Excited.

　　D. Regretful.

　　25. Why did the author give his iPad to his wife?

　　A. He bought a new one.

　　B. His wife persuaded him to.

　　C. It was no longer useful to him.

　　D. He forced himself to be off the net.

　　26. What can we infer from the text?

　　A. The author will never use iPad in the future.

　　B. The author will control the use of the Internet.

　　C. Life without the Internet is impossible in modern society.

　　D. The author will become addicted to listening to the radio.

　　27. The author wrote this passage to ______.

　　D. discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet

　　What’s the most important factor to our well-being? Money? Happiness?

　　I would argue good health. In fact, I would say true happiness is hard to experience in the absence of good health.

　　If you’re an urban resident, your city may be working against your pursuit of good health. Modern city design has made our lives more efficient. But one important aspect has been lost: labour. We are using our bodies less and less and there are consequences to those actions. Or should I say inaction.

　　Health and longevity are strongly associated with fitness. I know it seems like we are overwhelmed with an obesity crisis, but most research tells us that fitness comes in all shapes and sizes. So our main problem is a lack of activity. Poor physical fitness is a risk factor comparable to high blood pressure, high cholesterol(膽固醇), diabetes(糖尿病) and even smoking.

　　How can city design better influence health? Urban planners need to work with health professionals. Here are a few suggestions: Walking to the store should always be an option. You shouldn’t have to be a thrill seeker to navigate city streets on a bike. Why not design parks that have equipment adults can use to exercise? By integrating movement into our everyday activities through supportive city design, we are creating an opportunity for better fitness. A low level of fitness will do more than hurt your own health. Parents’ levels of fitness can also influence their children’s health. If you are a couch potato, you may gift your children with couch potato genes.

　　At least some of the answers lie in city designs that push us in a new direction. This won’t happen overnight. This is what writer Carl Honoré would call a slow fix. It’s hard to change habits so we need to have a long-term plan. We are creating a generation that will die younger than their parents. It is time to turn back the clock.

　　28. In the writer’ opinion, an overweight person______.

　　A. can be healthy

　　B. should lose weight

　　C. can easily develop a disease

　　D. must be healthier

　　29. Why does the writer mention ＂coach potato＂in the fifth paragraph?

　　A. To prove coach potato is unhealthy.

　　B. To show children often get potatoes as gifts.

　　C. To show parents like to give children potatoes for nutrition.

　　D. To suggest parents are responsible for children’s fitness.

　　30. According to the writer, a better city design should ______.

　　A. let citizens to involve in the city design

　　B. be made by urban planners

　　C. create chances for people to work out

　　D. take people’s habits into consideration

　　31.What can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. The Improvement of Modern City Design.

　　B. The Ways to Improve City Design.

　　C. The Relationship Between City Design and Health.

　　D. The Physical Fitness City Design Brings to People.

　　What’s more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino’s Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-feet tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in?Brisbane,?Australia.

　　The fully?autonomous?DRU is the result of a?cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and? Marathon Robotics. The 450-pound?machine that travels at a maximum speed?of 12.4 miles an hour?can?traverse?a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor?technology similar to the one used in?self-driving cars, enables DRU to?detect?and avoid obstacles, while traditional?sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its?destination.

　　The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders. To access their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.

　　Scientists expect additional DRU’s to be ready for service in their various?Queensland?locations within the next six months. But don’t expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Domino’s the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.

　　And then there is also the issue of?regulations. The public use of?autonomous?vehicles is still banned in most countries. But?Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino’s Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried. He is "confident that one day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino’s family."
