With the fast development of today's world, I have to say that for the first time I'm beginning to feel my age.When I was a boy, being online meant helping my Mom hang up my jeans on the clothes line behind our house and Twitter was what you heard from the birds in the trees.There was no Facebook although I often had my face in a book and a mouse was something our cat chased.Then a computer was that strange thing with the blinking (闪烁的) lights I saw on the science fiction television shows.
These days I have learned how to work a desktop computer and I'm grateful every day that I took a typing class in high school.Yet, it seems like there is always a message on my screen asking me to update (更新) the software but I'm concerned that as soon as I learn the new system it will already be out of date.My daughter can work her smart phone with good skills.Whenever I need the answer to something fast I ask her and then she will ask her phone.However, I'm thankful that she turns it off from time to time because every day I can see teenagers with their heads always down to their phones while life passes them by.
I'm not worried about where this technological trip is taking us, though.I know that all roads lead us to the same place, the paradise (天堂)．Our smartphones and social media won't be making the trip with us because the only things we can take with us are what we have learned and the love we have shared.The only computer we will be carrying into the next life is the software of our spirits.
Don't give your life over to technology then.Instead use technology to help you share your love and pass on your joy and use it to help others and make this world a better place.And then after you are done turn it off.

International Women's Day takes place every year on 8 March to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world.It started with a protest (抗议) that took place in New York City in 1908 where women went out onto the streets to demand (要求) the right to vote, shorter working hours and better pay.Since then it has taken many forms and today it's a global event.In some countries, March 8 is an official holiday and in other countries it's an official holiday but only for women.

A lot of special events take place in towns and cities all over the UK to celebrate International Women's Day.They are designed to celebrate the role of women in society and to make us think about the progress that has been made, but also about the changes that still need to take place to ensure the world is a fair and equal place for all its citizens.

With the fast development of today's world, I have to say that for the first time I'm beginning to feel my age.When I was a boy, being online meant helping my Mom hang up my jeans on the clothes line behind our house and Twitter was what you heard from the birds in the trees.There was no Facebook although I often had my face in a book and a mouse was something our cat chased.Then a computer was that strange thing with the blinking (闪烁的) lights I saw on the science fiction television shows.
These days I have learned how to work a desktop computer and I'm grateful every day that I took a typing class in high school.Yet, it seems like there is always a message on my screen asking me to update (更新) the software but I'm concerned that as soon as I learn the new system it will already be out of date.My daughter can work her smart phone with good skills.Whenever I need the answer to something fast I ask her and then she will ask her phone.However, I'm thankful that she turns it off from time to time because every day I can see teenagers with their heads always down to their phones while life passes them by.

__19__ Nowadays, the Internet and social networks will make you wander in work.I know it's hard to stop looking at them while at work, but you may end up wasting lots of time on social media websites instead of doing your work.Remember, you get your salary for good work, not for looking at social media.Try to avoid chatty coworkers as well.
Take short breaks.When you have a lot of tasks to accomplish, you may not even think about having a rest.__20__ Consider taking a few short breaks throughout the day or taking a short nap to feel more energetic and refreshed.This will help you to accomplish more tasks and avoid making mistakes.Don't eat at your desk; it's better to go elsewhere to have your lunch.

18．选F 本空前“it will be difficult for you to find important notes”有提示，此处意为“如果你工作的地方乱的话，你不容易找到重要的笔记，你会浪费宝贵的时间寻找它们，耽误你的工作”。
19．选C 本空为段落中心句，后面的内容“网络和社交网很容易让你工作时分心，你可能会浪费很多时间在社交媒介上而不是工作上”围绕中心句展开。
20．选D 根据空后“Consider taking a few short breaks throughout the day ...”可知，该空要表达的意思为“如果你感到累，那么效率就不会高”。
