phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude（侵入）on peoples privacy. so, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. but perhaps you neednt worry so much. after all, it is good to talk.21.the “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that _. a. people are able to meet someone at any place and any time b. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meet c. people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexibly d. people have to attend more phone meetings than ever before22. according to the two british researchers, the social and psychological effects are most likely to be seen on _.a. talkers b.texters c. the “spacemaker” d. the “speakeasy” 23. according to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile? a. talkers b.the “spacemaker” c. the “speakeasy” d. texters24. which of the following can be the best title of the passage? a. the influence of short message serviceb. changes in the use of the mobilec. body language and the mobile phoned. changes caused by mobile phone useb once, a peasant exhausted by illnesses and burdens of life came to a wise man. he sat in front of the wise man who gave him a social and warm smile, and breathed out heavily, letting out a wave of mourning. he began complaining that he had a hard burden and that he didnt see the bright daylight at all. it seemed that one problem fell on his head after another. they had twisted (扭曲) him so much that he couldnt even breathe in some fresh air. later, he began blaming all of his relatives, who, in his opinion, were guilty for his misfortune. the wise man listened to him in silence, and when the peasant once again inquired why it was so unfair, what he should do and how to find peace, the wise man got up from his seat and invited the peasant to follow him. they came out of the hut and went to a lakeside, which was not far away and where from time to time flying fishes were jumping fast above the surface, catching food. the wise man led the peasant to the lakeside and said to him, “you see the smoothness of the lake? the depths are full of life. there are fishes that always stay in water, and if suddenly the lake gets polluted, they cant see further than their own noses. they will hardly recognize where the source of pollution is, and they will keep swimming in circles. and there are also fishes that get wings and they can rise above the water of the lake, looking at it from the height of their flight. so this is my advice: instead of complaining about your life, come to this lakeside from time to time, watch the flying fishes and try to understand what i wanted to say to you.”25. the peasant went to the wise man because _.a. his house lacked fresh air b. his relatives were unkind to himc. he had been ill for long d. he thought his life was hopeless26. in fact, the peasants misfortune was caused by_. a. his lack of guidance b. other peoples unkindness c. his relatives d. his attitude to life27. why did the wise man lead the peasant to the lakeside?
