Technology affects the way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It helps society and determines how people interact with each other on a daily basis. It has positive and negative effects on the world and it impacts daily lives. We are living in a time when technological advancements are common. However, with technological advancements, there's a downside （弊端）to it all.

One aspect of technology that has bad a great impact on society is how it affects learning. It's made learning more interactive, which helps people better understand the material that they are learning and have trouble with. Also, it gets people better access to resources. With the creation of the Internet, it gives us access to information at a twenty-four-hour rate and you have access to almost anything online. In addition, it allows students to get work done easier. It also expands the boundaries of the classroom, encouraging self-paced learning. People can access learning through websites and social media. This helps students learn better than sitting down for lectures and reading from textbooks. These technological advancements have made learning more fun and convenient.

Besides, the technological advancements have also helped keep people safe and healthy. There are many apps on phones for people to monitor their weight, the calories they intake, heart rate and other health properties （属性） any time of the day. There's increased accessibility of treatment available, there's the change in healthcare that adds benefits for the elderly, and hospitals using advanced technology within their surgical rooms.

However, studies show that mobile communication affects people in a negative way when it comes to being sociable and making face-to-face contact. Mobile technology can decrease communication and relations between people. There's less personal time, because you're always in contact with someone. Also, it can be distracting from your schoolwork. There is also loss of privacy, because anyone can find you anywhere, at any time of the day.

In conclusion, all of these things impact how humans act today. Without technological advancements, our way of life would not be as complex. Thus, it has been wisely said that technology is a good servant but a bad master.

8．Which of the following is a downside of technological advancements?

A．Interactive learning methods. B．Accessible learning resources.

C．Monitored health properties. D．Decreased face-to-face meetups.

9．What's the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?

A．widens B．narrows C．shortens D．contracts

10．What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?

A．It is wise to be mastered by technology.

B．Technology is good at serving but bad at mastering us.

C．Humans can totally survive with or without technology.

D．We'd better make technology serve rather than control us.

11．What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A．to criticize technology for its negative impacts.

B．to promote technology as it benefits us in several ways.

C．to prove technological advancements are second to none.

D．to introduce the pros and cons technology has on our lives.

D

Nothing can destroy a vacation quicker than losing your money or credit cards. A few simple steps before you head out of the door can help protect your cash, card and personal information while you’re traveling.

Paul Stephens, a policy analyst San Diego, notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips, from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits(装备).“But their eyes glaze(呆滞) over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up,” he said.

“Why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation?” Stephens asked．“In most cases, they can go on your to-do list with’ buy travel bags’ and everything else,” he added.

The top recommendation is to clean your wallet. Remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise(危及……的安全)your identity(身份) if lost or stolen while you’re on vacation.

Then make a photocopy of the cards you’ve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you(not in your wallet)or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home. Then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing.

“Travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifying documents in their hotel room when they’re not there,” he said.” Choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in. Or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times. ”

12．According to passage, _______can destroy one’s vacation the most quickly.

A．being lost on vacation B．losing money or credit cards

C．living in a bad hotel. D．losing contact with family

13．What should people do with their wallet before they go on vacation?

A．Take it with them all the time. B．Put it in a safe place at the hotel

C．Remove unnecessary cards and documents. D．Leave it with family or friend.

14．What is the topic of the passage?

A．How to prepare for travel.

B．How to be happy during your vacation.

C．How to keep cash and cards safe on vacation.

D．How to protect your luggage on vacation

15．According to the passage, we know ______.

A．people don’t always know how to protect their money or credit cards

B．people should take a lot of money with them while traveling

C．people can leave their identifying documents in rooms, if the hotel is expensive

D．people can spend a few minutes preparing the luggage for travelling
