41、mile down the beach to a deserted valley. It was comforting to think that at the very least I was finally out of cell-phone range.However, even on Kauai, Hawaiis Garden Island, complete escape wasnt all that easy to achieve. Noisy helicopters full of tourists flew overhead like so many dragonflies.

42、Every 20 minutes or so the comforting sounds of wind and water were broken by the noise of a speeding tour boat racing to complete another lap around the island. Worst of all, not more than five minutes by car from the resort where I was staying, the Atomic Clock Internet Caf signaled with promises

43、of instant email.I felt uncomfortable every time I drove by the Atomic Clock Caf. I am a technology reporter for an online magazinemy life is driven and dominated by email. Im drowned in it, usually 400 or 500 messages a day. The main reason for my visit to Kauai was to unplug, disconnect, log off,

44、and get away from it all. No cell phone, no electronic organiser, no laptop. And definitely, no email.Yes, my plan was to lie on the beach and not check my email. My friends and family were outraged as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email. But they didnt understand. In my

45、 job, I am online, permanently. Cyberspace is more familiar to me than my backyard. While I am awake, my email is always on. I dont like to be without it for too long. A few hours away from it, and I start to tremble. I am, however, no stranger to beaches and their relaxing qualities and so I knew,

46、even when arriving well after dark at the comfortable cottage in the town of Waimea, that the island of Kauai gave me a good chance of beating my addiction to electronic devices.Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not 10 metres from my door. Or the mango trees casting shadows across

47、 the veranda ( 阳 台 ). Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for as far as I could see along the shore. Without question, the long, slow sound of the waves rolling in calmed my restless soul, and I found I could, in fact, log off.36. Why did the writer come to Kauai?A. To get away from the modern tec

48、hnology.B To work for the Atomic Clock Internet Caf.C. To write reports on technological development.D. To find whether there is an alternative to email.37. What can we learn about the writer?A.

50、se a possible destination of his tripC. highlight the beauty of the beach of KauaiD. show Kauai produced a relaxing atmosphere(B)Read the following two blogs and answer the questions that follow.Our buses drive me to distractionIve had it up to here with buses! To be more precise, I am sick to death

51、 of the service offered by our local bus company and which dares to call itself Reliabusa misnomer if ever there was one, since its exhaust-fume-coughing, atmosphere-choking buses are anything but reliable. Nine times out of ten they arrive late, and when they do eventually turn up, theres no guaran

52、tee youll get on. Ive lost count of the times I have watched as a full-to-bursting number 26which I try to catch home from collegesails past the bus stop (another misnomer), leaving weary travellers like myself to wait for at least another 20 minutes until the next one comes along. Unless of course

53、thats full as well, in which case we have to wait even longer. Why dont they lay on more buses!It annoys me to think that they are turning people away from travelling by public transport, encouraging them to use their cars and causing traffic jams in our already heavily congested town centre. I wrot

54、e them an email and gave them a piece of my mind. If youre as fed up as I am, why not do the same? They might just sit up and take notice.Leave me alone!If theres one thing that gets on my nerves, its people who keep trying to sell me things I dont want. It drives me mad when Im in the middle of my

55、dinner or watching a film and some smooth-talking idiot phones up and asks me if Im interested in new kitchen units, a subscription to a book club or a superfast internet connection. No, Im not, thank you very much, and if I was, Id get in touch with you! I very nearly burnt the house down the other

56、 day answering one of their ridiculous calls. I forgot Id left something frying in the kitchenjust got back to the blackened remains in time.Its even worse outside of the homesometimes you cant move for people handing out fliers in the street, advertising computer classes or urging you to buy this,

57、that or the other. They push one into your face, and if you dont take it, they give you a nasty look and you can hear them swearing and muttering under their breath about you as you walk away. Not nice at all.40. Both the two blogs are meant to .A. address a problemB. ask for sympathyC. make a compl

The attitudes that her colleagues have towards her.(C)The goings-on in the consulting room have become more transparent(透明的）recently. Thank goodness. We know

60、more than the lines supplied by the movies in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who, sitting on a couch, consult with them. Therapists are interested in how the individual, the couple or the family experiences and understands their difficulties. That has to be a starting place.
