Having experienced a shocking electrical accident， which caused him to become both blind and deaf， James Francos world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family， especially his wife， did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon， he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.

Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However， none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen.

British-designed electronic newspaper which is made of plastic and no larger than a table mat is to enter the market next year. The new newspaper was conceived （想出） by Cambridge University scientists. They came up with the idea of replacing silicon chips with plastic ones. It is being developed by Plastic Logic， a company based in Dresden， Germany.

“It looks just like a table mat， and is as light as a magazine. But you can download hundreds of newspapers at the touch of a button， and read them quite safely，” the BBC reported on its website.

The plastic paper is produced in a safe “clean room” at the Plastic Logic factory， which opened last month as the worlds first plastic-electronics factory. Every part of the product， from the screen to the electronics， is made of plastic. And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as “top quality”. Baker said the plastic newspaper could help solve the problem of waste material associated with traditional newspapers.

“Theres a huge amount of waste. We have paper distributed （分發(fā)） all over the country each day and then thrown into the bin. This doesnt need to happen any more. All of the copies could be made electronically and stored on a single e-reader with the appearance of paper，” he said.

People can expect to see the plastic newspaper next year， the BBC said.

Justin Valdez， a college student， was shot in a subway station in San Francisco. The surveillance video （監(jiān)控錄像） showed that before Justin was killed， the killer pulled out his gun several times， and even wiped his nose with it. However， nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cellphones.

We may see the same scene everywhere in our life： in subway stations， restaurants， elevators and so on， people are watching their cellphones. From a family reunion to a date with a friend， people couldnt stop checking their Twitter and Facebook on the cellphones and ignoring the persons in front completely. Phubbing not only involves young people， but also the elderly and kids.

“Phubbing” is a new term which comes from the words “phone” and “snub （冷落）”. It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cellphone. The word “phubbing” was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012. Obviously， the indifference and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally.

A Stop Phubbing campaign website has been set up. You can find the slogan of the website as follows， “Stop twittering， stop posting photos… enjoy your food， enjoy the music and respect others.”

Phubbing appears harmless. However， it does influence our life. Jimmy， an epicure （美食家）， wrote in his blog， “I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast， while my interest in food drops as a result.” Let us put down our cellphones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication.

32. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1？

A. To lead in the topic.

B. To criticize the passengers.

C. To tell a story about a student.

D. To warn readers of danger in subway station.

33. What will a phubbing person probably react if you ask him

for help？

A. Pay no attention to you.

B. Be very angry with you.

C. Give you an immediate reply.

D. Stop looking at his cellphone.

34. What do Jimmys words suggest about phubbing？

A. It affects peoples eating habits the most.

B. It makes people feel less interested in food.

C. It helps people improve their photographic skills.

D. It improves peoples relationship with their friends.

35. What is the text mainly about？

A. The popular campaign of stopping phubbing.

B. The meaning of the word “phubbing”.

C. The wonderment of phubbing.

D. The great harm of phubbing.

第二節(jié) 閱讀七選五（共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分）

Lots of people give you advice on overcoming （克服） fear.? ?However， I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous， less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend？ Here are three reasons.

Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl （or guy） of your dreams？ Which is more fearful， talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends？? If you didnt have fear to guide you， you might not know that！ Not so bad， right？

Next， fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past， our ancestors didnt run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now， most of us dont face serious danger like hungry tigers every day， but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So， what can we do？

Lastly， fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters （過山車）？? Same for horror movies.

So fear can guide you towards whats important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. Dont we all need that kind of friend？

A. Dont fear to be wrong.

B. It frightens us in a mostly safe way.

C. Imagine what life would be like without fear.

D. The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.

E. They say if you can overcome fear， you will be successful.

F.Fear is showing you what is important and what matters

to you.

G. Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to

be done.
