Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Decide on the best ONE and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.
Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in "a sea of digital (数字的) technology". As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys with hands or help Mum cook meals. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.
"I have talked with a lot of teachers. They care about the increasing number of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or even no skills to play with making things," said a teacher, Nancy. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone,"she added.
Instead of playing with other children, many children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play iPad on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn how to communicate with others at a young age?
Every coin has two sides. We can use stones to either break windows or build a house. We shouldn't blame the children, instead we should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but more importantly, we should encourage them to develop socializing abilities, which will do them good when they grow up.

A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point he asked: "Are you writing a story about what we've done? Is it a story about me?"
His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to him, "I am writing about you, actually, but more important than the words is the pencil I'm using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up."
Interested, the boy looked at the pencil, It didn't seem very special. "But it's just like any other pencil I've ever seen!"
"That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on to them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world."
First quality: You are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.
Second quality: Now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, it's sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.
Third quality: The pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.
Fourth quality: What really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite (石墨) inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.
Fifth quality: It always leaves a mark. Just in the same way, you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action.
