Every Sunday morning, as most people line up outside neighborhood breakfast spots, watch TV news shows, or head for church, Chloris Noelke-Olson is tuning up her fiddle. She's preparing to enjoy bluegrass music the old-fashioned way: with friends, at home, for free.
“To be able to play with other people face to face and have that sort of connection, it's spiritual,” Ms. Noelke-Olson said of the weekly house concerts in Chicago she participates in. “It's like a good conversation with instruments—something that doesn't seem to happen much anymore because everyone is blabbering(饶舌) on their cell phones.”
She is among a growing group of Americans who are finding it pleasant to unplug from the digital grid, at least temporarily. While there is no exact data to track how many people are forming knitting groups, hosting house concerts, or organizing family game nights, it is possible to connect the dots between the rising price of entertainment and the rising sales of board games (棋类游戏) and craft supplies.
Between 2007 and 2008, the prices for restaurant meals, concert tickets, and movie tickets all increased. At the same time, board games sales rose 6 percent, while total toy sales decreased 3 percent.
These trends are expected to continue because of the struggling economy. Instead of outfitting their homes with expensive home entertainment systems, consumers are more likely to be interfacing the old-fashioned way: eye-to-eye. Families are rediscovering ways to come together that have nothing to do with high tech.
“People are turning inward to build in enjoyment time for family and home”, said Linda Bettencourt, an interior designer in San Francisco whose clients typically live in million-dollar homes. Over the past six months, Ms. Bettencourt has been hired to redesign living spaces to foster the kind of connectivity that doesn't involve wires. “The big game table is back,” she says. “People want to sit around and see each other's faces rather than facing a flat-screen TV.”
1. Why is Chloris Noelke-Olson enjoying bluegrass music the old-fashioned way?
A. Because she likes playing musical instruments.
B. Because she wants to provide free music for her friends.
C. Because she doesn't like talking on the cell phone.
D. Because she likes to form a close connectivity with people.
2. Ms. Bettencourt has been hired to ________.
A. connect the rich people with others
B. redesign living space for the rich people
C. give some advice to people on connectivity
D. help people to save money
3. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A. home designing has become a big business
B. rich people usually pay more attention to their living space
C. even rich people are changing their ways of entertainment
D. rich people spend more on home entertainment
4. This passage is about ________.
A. a new trend in people's entertainment in America
B. the present economic situation in America
C. the modern family life in America
D. the change of people's interest in America
5. If this passage is posted on the web, it most probably appears in the section of ________.
A. people B. travel
C. environment D. lifestyle

A. based B. schedule C. individual D. determined E. achieving
F. ambitious G. success H. studying I. marvel J. smarter
The Secret of Success
The secret of success is that there is no secret. Some people succeed because they are just __1__ than other people. Some people succeed because they just work harder than other people. And some people succeed because they are just plain lucky.
Ma Donghan is a student at Tsinghua University who is __2__ to be successful and she’s not going to leave it to luck. Ma is obviously smart because she’s a student at the best university in China, but her plan for success is __3__ on the old fashion value of hard work. You can see that by the weekly schedule she’s set up for herself which was recently posted online.
Every hour of every day is accounted for. There is her classroom __4__, of course, but then blocks of time are set aside for __5__ each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports. There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted (分配) each night for sleeping. She has set a very __6__, almost punishing schedule for herself, but it seems to be working.
Other students __7__ at Ma’s diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success. Perhaps not, but Ma is obviously a unique and special __8__. She has set high goals, made a plan to achieve those goals, and worked hard to keep to her plan. This is what other students can learn from Ma.
In school, as in life, __9__ is never guaranteed and not everyone will find him or herself at the top of the pyramid. The important thing to remember is that having a plan and working hard to stay with the plan will bring you a level of success that just being smart and lucky cannot.
