This story is about a 92-year-old, short, well-behaved and proud lady. She is fully dressed each morning by eight, with her hair fashionably done and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is totally blind. She is moving to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she moved to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet(观察孔) sheets that had been hung on her window.“I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old girl having just been presented with a new puppy.

“Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room yet. Just wait.” “That doesn't have anything to do with it,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged, it's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.”

“I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting(叙述) the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away, just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw(收回) from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit(储蓄) a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank. I am still depositing.”

One day a young man called Jim was told to take the   36   examination the next day. He was   37   so much that he couldn’t get to sleep.

Suddenly, a good idea crossed his mind.

The next morning Jim got to the   40   on time and was led into a large room. He hurriedly found a seat to sit down and took out an out-of-date newspaper,   41   to read it. Soon it was his turn to be examined. When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him. Then in a   42   he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there. No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is   43   up to the standard.”

“How can you draw such a   44   like that before you give me a   45   check? Jim shouted at the doctor.

“Don’t be impetuous(冲动), young man! Put on your clothes, and then I’ll  46   it to you,” the doctor said   47  .“You said we didn’t examine you carefully, but I don’t think it

  48   for us to do that. When I told you in a low voice to take off your clothes, you did it as I told you. It shows you have good   49  .

It shows you can see any subject within a certain distance.   50  , you were found reading the newspaper just now, and we are certain you are a man of intelligence.

The use of the mobile Internet in Britain grew eight times as fast as the growth of the PC Internet, according to the latest study from research firm Nielsen Online. Of course, the actual number of Britons surfing the PC Internet is much higher. A recent report found that from April to September in 2008, the number of Britons using the mobile Internet increased by 25 percent, from 5.8 million to 7.3 million. However, the number of Britons surfing the PC Internet is 35.5 million, up only 3 percent. As expected, the report found that the mobile online audiences are younger than the PC-based users, with 25 percent of mobile Internet users aged 15-24 years old, compared to 16 percent for PC-based users. Also as expected, there are more people aged over 55 surfing the PC Internet (23 percent) than those on the mobile Internet (12 percent). This last figure —12 percent of those aged over 55 surfing the mobile Internet, however, surprised me because I had expected to be lower. Mobile audiences are interested in sites that can provide immediate information, or immediate access like BBC News, Google Search, Sky Sports, BBC Weather and G-mail. BBC News is visited by nearly one in four British mobile Internet users, or 1.7 million people. Three of the most popular sites, BBC Weather, Sky Sports and G-mail, actually have a greater reach on the mobile Internet than they do on the PC Internet. BBC Weather gets 21 percent of all mobile users with 17 percent on the PC-based Internet.

44. According to the first paragraph, the majority of Britons are_______.

    A. surfing the mobile Internet

    B. surfing the PC Internet

    C. taking part in the research

    D. studying on the mobile Internet

45. The underlined words "PC-based users" in the second paragraph refer to "people ________".

    A. using personal computers

    B. surfing the mobile Internet

    C. repairing personal computers

    D. making personal computers

46. According the report, which of the following statements is NOT true?

   A. Some people who are over 55 like to surf the PC Internet.

   B. BBC News is very popular with the mobile audience.

   C. BBC Weather gets more mobile users than PC-based users.

   D. Only young people like to use the mobile Internet.

47. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
