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 33 been booked. I feel terrible every time I go to the hospital with my grandmother. There is always a long q 34 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 changed the way we live. Today, shopping, banking and even work can all be done over the internet. However, w 35 many new apps have made life easier for us younger folk, it has made it increasingly difficult for the older generations.

their online and offline availability. However, bridging this “digital gap” needs e 36 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 37 . 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.
The next (1000) time(s) your elders ask you for help with technology, remember who was the person that spent countless hours t 38 you how to talk, walk, eat, etc. The least we can do is repay some of the favor.

Do more activities such as puzzles, word g 42 , and learn a new language. These activities will further improve your brain functions and will help you improve your memory.
Try to have more free time. When you are t 43 , probably you are to have a weaker focus. Find ways to get rid of stress, so your brain will be clearer and ready to have new i 44 .

（22-23八年级下·上海黄浦·期中）I have a plan for my future. Whether it will ever happen, I don’t care. What matters is I have a plan.
I want to own a sandwich shop with a flat above that I can live in, in some really interesting part of the country. I want to spend my days running the sandwich shop, and my nights writing what comes to my mind. I want to play light music all the time and spend my breaks talking to c 46 and getting to know them.
My sandwich shop would become a home to artists and other interesting people. I want to spend nights
writing s 47 about the people I meet. I want to give the bread I haven’t sold out each day to the local shelter, and I want to open a little bookshop right next door. Maybe the bookshop won’t make money, but I’ll keep it o 48 anyway, just for the love of it. The important part is that I control my future.
But I know I probably won’t be able to make it in the r 49 world just being a writer, but I’ll never give up my dream. I can’t live my mother’s life, working in an office all day. I love and respect her for what she does, but a job like h 50 would drive me crazy. Likewise, I can’t be like my dad, selling other people’s books to make ends meet. I love and respect him for what he does, but that kind of job has nothing to do with writing at all.
The reason I write is to s 51 my ideas; I need to have control over my dream and write for myself, speaking for no one else. My life and dream are all I have.

With so many things going on in your life and the pressure (压力) of work and society, you may start thinking it is not wise at all to start a hobby. But the reason that stops you from getting into a hobby is the s 52 reason why you should surely take up a hobby.
Hobbies can r 53 pressure. There is nothing wrong with focusing on your job. After all, it is your way of making money. H 54 , when you focus on work too much, you may forget about other aspects (方面) of your life. That is when things start to go wrong. What you have to think about is this: even the richest people are not p 55 with money or material things alone. We all need a space where we can become ourselves, without any pressure.
Hobbies can help recover (恢复) not only your p 56 energy but also your emotional (情感的) energy. And that will be shown in all aspects of your life. Although you can relax by sleeping or doing nothing, a hobby has a different relaxing effect. Doing nothing can relax your tired b 57 but it is no solution to a tired mind. That is the big difference between the two.
A hobby is a great way to spend time on your enjoyment. But if you are thinking that a hobby is all about being quiet, then you are wrong. In fact, hobbies can also be h 58 to your social skills. Hobbies can even help to expand (拓展) your network, and that can become an advantage to your job.
