Many people ask me what my favorite invention is. I find it very hard to answer them，because there are so many things in my life that I can choose. However，I have chosen a pen. Don't you think it's surprising
I know that to most people a pen is very boring，but，to me，it stands for possibility(可能).There are so many things you can do with a pen. You can write a novel or a song，record information，or draw a picture.
A pen is like the beginning of something amazing to me. Every day，I write a new page with my pen，and I am slowly making a path(路)for my future. Maybe I will be a scientist and change the world with my discoveries. Maybe I'll become a musician and touch people's hearts with my music. Or perhaps I will be a writer and move people through words，or a teacher to help children grow into the kind of people that they want to be.

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life ”, maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”
The first computer was made in 1946.It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do？A writer has said，“People can't live without computers today.” The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books，write letters，do shopping，play games or make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don't know their real names，ages，and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can't put their hearts into study. Many of them can't catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time，we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.
( )21.The Internet can not be used for ________.

Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(自拍杆) 26.　　　　
However, US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe, believe they’ve invented a better one and they call it “selfie arm”. 27.　　　　 It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.

The product, at present, just an art project and a model, conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. 29.　　　　 They say they are fascinated by these new ideas.
The “selfie arm” is made of fiberglass. 30.　　　　　
The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick phenomenon(现象) directly and the increasing need for narcissism(自恋) and Internet agreement.

B.Thousands of “selfie arms” have been made.
C.It seems that they are together with their friends.
