showed up from my brother to help make up our income since I wasn’t able to work. It probably goes without saying that I was extremely grateful to have family members who could and would support me during the hard time.
In terms of my day-to-day existence, I live in a village within Los Angeles called Brentwood so I was able to walk to the local post office, market, bank, and library. But once there, I had to depend on the kindness of strangers to help me. Los Angeles is a big city, but I lived in a village with a wonderful community (社区) of people who were kind and patient.
Slowly I became well. Life was good again and I thought I had a clear understanding of the blessings (恩惠) this illness has provided.

Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness — people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking. Nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e－book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上班族). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that's 40,000 — “apps”(programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time－fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks(坦克). Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction(消遣)of choice. It's not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e－books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all these distractions, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
63. Commuters on a London subway don't make eye contact because ______.
A. the British are usually shy on the train B. the British law doesn't allow them to do so C. they are busy working on their laptops D. they are busy enjoying high-tech distractions 64. All the following belong to “apps” except ______.

A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.
They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.
67. The main idea of the passage is about the _________ of weboholism. A. cause B. advantage C. popularity D. influence
68. The underlined word “obsessional” in the second paragraph most probably means “______”. A. attractive B. addictive C. professional D. potential 69. We can infer from the passage that________.
