demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.that friday after work, when i arrived at her house, my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on. she had curled (使卷曲) her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.we went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy (舒适的). my mother took my arm as if she were the first lady. during the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about nothing extraordinary(非凡的) but just caught up on recent events. we talked so much that we missed the movie.as we arrived at her house later, she said: “ill go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” i agreed. a few days later, my mother died of a massive (严重的) heart attack. it happened so suddenly that i didnt have a chance to do anything for her.sometime later, i received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt (收据) from the same place mother and i had dined. an attached note said: “i paid this bill in advance. i wasnt sure whether i could be there; still, i paid for two plates one for you and the other for your wife. you will never know what that night meant for me. i love you, son.”at that moment, i understood the importance of saying: “i love you” and of giving our loved ones the time they deserve. nothing in life is more important than family. give family members the attention they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.29. the author describes in detail how his mother looked, in order to _.a. show readers his

experience area” signs on them. you may have entered one or two out of curiosity or you may simply think it is just another piece of useless technology. but whatever your reaction (反应) is, one thing is for sure vr, or virtual (虚拟的) reality, is going to be a bigger part of our lives in the near future.2016 has seen the introduction of many fancy products (产品) in the vr world, including microsofts hololens and samsungs gear vr. all of them offer an interesting look at the new “realities” and new opportunities that vr brings.but theyre clearly still in the early days of a technology that is going to get a lot better. and 2017 is going to be the year in which vr technology really starts to get popular.for a start, using vr will become normal in 2017. in fact, microsoft and intel have already started to discuss their plans for simpler and less expensive vr headsets (头戴设备).“the idea of virtual reality will stop being a science fiction idea, and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination,” said andrew abedian, a game designer at us vr company survios.it is also expected that vr products will start to play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film.for example, to enjoy the excitement and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, youll no longer have to go to the show in person and actually sit there. instead, many people will be able to have the experience by simply putting on a vr headset.you can also expect vr mirrors and fitting rooms sooner rather than later. “this is an especially good opportunity for brands (品牌) looking to offer very personalized (个性化的) experiences,” said roy deyoung from pmx agency, a us-based marketing company.as time goes by, there will be less and less discussion about whether or not people will accept vr technology. now its just a question of when.33. when people enter the vr experience area in a shopping mall, they may think it _.a. worrying. b. useless. c. interesting. d. both b and c.34. which statement is true according to the passage?a. vr is a useless technology which will be soon out of date.b. vr is only popular among the young people.c. there will be more vr products and vr will have a bright future.d. microsoft and intel have produced cheaper and simpler vr headsets.35. in which section of a newspaper can we most probably read the text?a. lifestyle and health. b. medicine and nature.c. education and culture. d. science and invention.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。in our daily life,
