A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案)
Once upon a time if we wanted to make a phone call or wait for someone to contact us, we had to sit at home or at our desks. There were public phones in the street of course, but it could be hard to find one that was working and there were often long queues to use them. And of course you had to bring a lot of coins to pay for the calls. So people didn’t phone their friends as often. Mobile phones, these small pieces of electronic equipment which allow us to talk with friends and family while we are on the move, have greatly changed the way we live. Before the age of the mobile phone, our loved ones would sit around worried sick if we were late coming home. There were no quick calls to tell mum that there would be additional guests coming for dinner. We would have to depend on notes left on fridges or desks to communicate messages.
But mobile phones have also had a negative effect and what people don’t seem to realize is that we’ve lost something very valuable: our privacy. Now our friends and family can contact us wherever and whenever they want to. We can never get away from them. The way people communicate with each other is totally different now. It’s difficult to have a conversation face-to-face with a friend without being disturbed every couple of minutes by the ring of their phones, most people don’t see anything wrong in having a long conversation on their mobile phone while forgetting all about the person sitting opposite. It seems the art of real conversation may be dying.
Of course, people could leave their mobile phones at home or even switch them off but no one ever does that. Why not? Because the worrying thing is we can’t live without our phones. We’ve become communication addicts, unable to spend even a few minutes out of contact, in case we miss something ‘important’.
( ) 1. What does the underlined sentence tell us?
A) No all-day public phone service was provided in the street.
B) Public phones were in poor condition and not always available.
C) Public phones were everywhere but they were always in use.
D) You could always see people repairing the public phones.
( ) 2.What’s the writer’s point about using telephones before the invention of mobile phones?
A) Using a telephone was expensive. B) Phone calls were much shorter.
C) People made fewer phone calls. D) People relied on notes a lot.
( ) 3. What does the writer think about life before mobile phones?
A) Life was less convenient. B) People were more punctual.
C) Things were more relaxed. D) Everyone managed very well.
( ) 4. What’s the writer’s main argument against mobile phones?
A) They have damaged relationships. B) We give out too much information.
C) They are harmful to our body and mind. D) It’s impossible to escape from them.
( ) 5. Which word best describes how the writer feels about the use of mobile phones?
A) Disappointed. B) Satisfied. C) Worried. D) Surprised.
( ) 6. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A) To inform people about means of communication in the past.
B) To show disadvantages of the way people communicate today.
C) To advise readers to stop using the mobile phone.
D) To compare different types of phone conversation.

Lauren Singer has produced almost no waste in the past two years, proving that a rubbish-free lifestyle is possible.
Lauren studied environmental science at NYU(New York University), and it was during her student years that she began working towards a “zero-waste” goal. Today she has learned to make all of her own everyday eco-friendly products, such as toothpaste, shampoo, kitchen cleaner and so on. She also set up her own company, “The Simply Co”, through which she sells her homemade products.
Lauren regularly writes about her experiences of a zero-waste life on her blog. Lauren admits that the past two years haven’t been easy. “I stopped buying packaged products and began bringing my own bags and jars to fill with products at the supermarket,” she explained.
“I stopped buying new clothes and shopped for only second-hand things. I said no to things like straws (吸管) in my drinks at bars, to plastic or paper bags at stores.”
Even though the journey has been hard, Lauren’s zero-waste life has been well worth the effort. Lauren says that she now saves a lot of money because she is prepared when she goes shopping and does not buy things that she won’t use at all. She also eats healthy food because she buys fresh organic fruits and vegetables instead of packaged foods.
The 23-year-old girl has become a role model to many. She’s giving talks in schools and colleges and also having more and more interviews about her zero-waste lifestyle on TV and the radio worldwide.
