(Text 1)
W：Tony, have you noticed how greatly our town has changed
M：Definitely! In the past, there were only a handful of small shops around. But now we have big shopping centers, ①and that large stadium — the most visited place in town!
W：②Yeah. It's crazy to see that all pop up so quickly!
M：③Have you been to the new park they built by the river
W：No.③I thought it was near the forests.
M：Well, that was the initial idea.③They changed the plan later to protect the forests and the mountain range nearby.Anyway, the park's fully equipped now.It even has sports facilities and baby care rooms.
W：That sounds fantastic.I'll go and check it out sometime!
(Text 2)
M：Life moves so fast now. When I was a young man, it was much more relaxed.
W：I know! People today are always driving around, talking on the phone, and sitting at their computers.
M：When I was young, people sat down and played cards or went fishing when they had extra time. They enjoyed the simple things in life .
W：Exactly! Now they play games on their computers with a person they can't even see!
M：It's no wonder that people are so stressed out.
W：I know. These young people need to slow down and enjoy life.
M：They should go back to the old days, when children just played outside instead of taking music lessons and going to soccer practice all of the time. I never even see my grandchildren!
W：Want to play a game of cards
M：Sure. I've got all afternoon.
(Text 3)
M：Lisa, are you still busy preparing for your exams？I was wondering whether you could help me with my paper.
W：Sure. What is it about
M：Well, we're asked to write about the changes in our lives in the past few decades. I'd like to discuss the changes in transport, but I'm not sure if it's a good choice.
W：It's wise to write about specific things, but changes in transport is quite an old topic. Why don't you look at something more up-to-date like the success of online stores and the impact of technology on education
M：Hmm, that reminds me of the lecture I attended last Friday. The lecturer talked about the role of technology in modern society. It's a coin that has two sides, that sort of thing.
W：That's interesting!
M：Yeah. I' ll go for it then.

主题活动 时代进步带来的生活变化
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Back in the early 1980s，the idea of home computers was catching on. I wasn't keen on getting one. Somehow，I evolved and have owned several computers over the years. Some days, I loved my computer，but more often than not，I hated it.
I didn't grow up with them, and they were a challenge to my mental health. Dealing with modern technology was my introduction to stress，and I know who to blame：my children.
They weren't satisfied that their dad and I finally bought a computer and learned to send e-mails.We were quite happy with that, but next came a cellphone.Then just talking on the phone was not acceptable; they insisted we learn to text as well.We couldn't get a break.
I remember well the night that social media became a household word around here.Those kids of ours were determined to set up a joint account for us.we didn't agree with it at first.We felt no guilt for grating on (激怒) their nerves considering the drama they'd sometimes created for us during their teenage years.A little payback wouldn't hurt those two.
More recently，my husband and I were forced into getting rid of our flip phones and getting smartphones.I will admit that I progressed into appreciating mine.I liked speaking to Siri and finding out what I needed to know in an instant.I enjoyed having Internet access everywhere I went.I felt a sense of accomplishment; my husband — not so much.To this day, he would happily take back his flip phone.
Last winter holidays, our children surprised us with yet another popular form of technology — Alexa. The girls took our smartphones in hand and got us programmed. Before we fully understood what was happening, we could tell Alexa to turn our lamp on or off, and she would.To be honest, we were a bit annoyed at having to learn how to use yet another device，but we decided to keep it.We mastered turning the lamp on and off, and once again I got the hang of it sooner than my husband did.I became his Alexa coach.
参考范文：
One night，Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command. I tried to say “Turn on the light” to it countless times，but Alexa didn't work. “New technologies are always unreliable，” my husband complained.I searched the Internet and immediately found the reason why Alexa couldn't work.I just needed to tell Alexa to set the light color to white or whatever color I wanted, and then it would turn on the light.Then Alexa turned on the light itself.
We should thank our children and grandchildren.It was our children and grandchildren that taught us to use technology so that I could find a solution on the Internet by myself.Without them, our life is always invariable and boring.Our children and grandchildren “force” us to accept and use technology, which seems to put us under pressure.However，the fact is that our children and grandchildren let us really accept and use technology to make our life more convenient.4 / 4
