Bridging the Gap
Anytime we need a taxi, we can pull out our phone, tap (轻轻叩击) a few buttons on the screen and a car will show up. It’s awesome (绝妙的), right But what happens to the elderly people who need a taxi ride but don’t know how to use a phone to book one They can only wave at the taxis passing by, many of which have a___67___ been booked. I feel terrible every time I go to the hospital with my grandmother. There is always a long q 68 of sick elderly people waiting for taxis. These people probably badly need a taxi. But they cannot get one because they do not know how to use a smartphone.
Over the past ten or so years, technology has advanced quickly. For most of us, it has c___69___ the way we live. Today, shopping, banking and even work can all be done over the internet. However, w ___70___many new apps have made life easier for us younger folk, it has made it increasingly difficult for the older generations.
China has now passed a new set of guidelines (指导方针) to keep several basic services balanced between their online and offline availability. However, bridging this “digital gap” needs e 71 effort. Probably anyone over the age of 60, at one time or another, has called their children or grandchildren to ask for help with their smartphones. When they do so, we must be p 72 . What may only take us seconds to master can take them hours to do so, even after repeated instructions. Even then, the smallest mistake will leave them more confused (迷惑的) than before.

Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题，7 分)
A ship was wrecked (失事的) during a storm at sea and only two of the men were able to swim to a small island. Not knowing what else to do, the two friends agreed that they had nothing to do but to pray (祈祷) to God.
However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the island into two parts and each one stay on the other part of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit tree on his side. But the other man’s side had nothing.
After a week, the first man decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor (幸存者) was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.
Soon, the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, all of these things appeared. However, the second man still had nothing.
About one year later, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship stopped at his side. The first man decided to leave without his friend. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard an angry voice from Heaven, “Why are you leaving your friend on the island ” “My blessings (祈福) are mine alone,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.” “You are mistaken!” the voice blamed him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If, not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.” “Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for ” He prayed that all of your prayers would be answered.

In 1882, a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce that she nearly died. From then on, she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear, it was also very difficult for her to speak. The baby girl was Helen Keller.
Luckily, Helen was a strong-willed girl. Soon she began to explore the world. Just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a teacher -- Anne Sullivan. Anne taught Helen her favourite subjects. As a result, Helen became gentler and happier. She also learnt to speak. It was a great success for someone who could not hear at all.
Helen became a great writer in 1904. While she was still at college, she wrote The Story of My life.
