Many people assume the Amish must have religious reasons for thei

2、r many rules, but this is not true. In truth， whenever a new technology is introduced， the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote on whether they will accept it. The Amish rejectcars because they like having tight communities where everyone lives close together. They

However, maybe the Amish have a valid point. Which is more of a friend, someone you often talk t

9、曼门诺派(一个基督教团体)很有名，因为这个教派的教徒驾四轮马车而不是开汽车，不用电视和冰箱，也没有私人电话。许多人认为阿曼门诺派有这么多规矩，肯定有宗教原因，但事实并非如此。实际上，每当出现一项新技术，阿曼门诺派教徒便开会讨论其优点和缺点。然后，他们投票决定是否要接受它。阿曼门诺派教徒拒绝汽车，因为他们喜欢享有关系紧密的社区，在这里大家一起住得很近。他们没有电视机和电冰箱，因为他们的家里没有电他们认为电力并非必需，而且他们不喜欢与陌生人打交道，例如那些在电力公司工作的人。由于阿曼门诺派教徒重视彼此面对面地交往，他们反对在住宅里装电话。然而，在每个社区常常有一个小亭子，里面有一部紧急电话。电话非

10、常便于沟通，当今世界上大多数人的生活都离不开它。然而，也许阿曼门诺派教徒有个合理的观点。哪一个更像是朋友呢：是你在电话中经常交谈的某个人，还是你经常面对面交谈的某个人？还有，如果你需要帮助，谁能更好地帮助你呢：是远方的某个人，还是与你同处一室的某个人？在一起并分享生活，其中蕴藏着某种重要的东西，而这种东西是无法通过电话线获得的。There are other disadvantages to the telephone, as well. For example, no matter what the circumstances， when the phone rings, everythin

11、g stops so that the call can be answered. Your family could be eating dinner or chatting together, yet this will be interrupted. However, most phone calls are not really that important; certainly, they could not be more important than family time. Then, when you are absorbed in a book or simply tryi

12、ng to rest, the phone always seems to be ringing, destroying whatever peace you might have. However, the person calling is often merely a salesman or someone who has dialled the wrong number.With mobile phones, these problems increase. How many times have you been talking with a friend, only for you

13、r friend to interrupt the conversation to answer a call? For some reason， a typical mobile phone call is nearly always given greater importance than a facetoface conversation. Yet, once again, most mobile phone calls are about rather small matters. When asked later what the call was about， your frie

If the call was really about nothing， then why was it so important as to interrupt your conversation and waste your precious time？,no matter what引导让步状语从句，no matter what the circumstances的完整形式是no matter what the circumstances are。circumstance/skmstns/ n条件，环境，状况t

16、ypical/tIpIkl/ adj.平常的；典型的，有代表性的；特有的It is typical of sb. to do sth. 某人一向喜欢做某事。When asked .是时间状语从句的省略形式，其完整形式是When your friend is asked .；在该从句中，what从句作asked的宾语。so .as to结构，表示“那么以至于”，动词不定式表示结果。第45段译文电话还有其他缺点。例如，无论在什么情况下，当电话铃声响起时，为了能接电话，一切都要停下来。你们一家人可能正在一起吃晚饭或聊天，这却会被电话打断。然而，大多数电话不是真的那么重要。它们当然不会比与家人在一起共

17、度时光更重要。还有，当你专注地看一本书或者只想休息时，电话似乎总是响个不停，打破了你本来可以享有的一切安宁。可打电话的人常常只是一名推销员或拨错了号码的某个人。有了移动电话，这样的问题就更多了。有多少次你正在与一位朋友交谈，仅仅为了接一个电话，你的朋友就中断了交谈呢？由于某种原因，一个平常的手机来电几乎总是被赋予比面对面交谈更多的重要性。不过，话又说回来，大部分的手机来电只涉及微不足道的事情。当随后被问及来电是有关什么事时，你的朋友总是回答说：“噢，其实也没什么事。”如果来电真的是“没什么事”，那么它为什么如此重要以至于打断你们的交谈，并浪费你们的宝贵时间呢？Of course, using

18、the mobile phone for text messages is the worst. In one study, girls average 80 text messages a day, and boys average 30. What do people talk about in text messages? While these messages always seem important at the time， most people cannot really remember them the next day. Phones and text messages

19、 focus on building relationships with many people. However, these relationships are often quite shallow. Many teenagers say that while they have a lot of friends, they really have no best friend. The use of technology for communication rather than talking face to face is one reason why this is true.

20、 Meanwhile, real relationships are often sacrificed， and whatever personal peace one has is destroyed whenever the phone rings.The Amish in general have a higher degree of mental health than most people. They have very calm and stable lives because they value community and living in peace above all

21、else, especially new technology. Maybe they are right. Maybe we should throw all of our phones into the dustbin， along with our cars and TVs for good measure. Maybe we should rid ourselves of modern technology and return to simpler times.Whats that? . Sorry, I have to go. The phones ringing .,动名词短语在

24、相当浅的。许多青少年说，虽然他们有很多朋友，但事实上他们却没有最好的朋友。之所以会这样，一个原因就是通信技术的应用代替了面对面交谈。同时，真正的关系往往被牺牲了，而且，每当电话铃声响起时，个人所拥有的任何安宁都会被打破。总的来说，阿曼门诺派教徒的心理健康程度高于大多数人。他们过着非常平静而稳定的生活，因为他们看重社区和宁静生活，并视其高于其他的一切，特别是新技术。也许他们是对的。也许我们应该把所有的电话连同小汽车和电视机一起扔进垃圾箱。也许我们应该使我们自己摆脱现代技术，回到更为简单的时代。那是什么？对不起，我得走了。我的电话响了Step 1Choose the best answers ac
