He leads active life and does some voluntary works. Before we leave, he impressed upon us the importance of knowledge and inspired us to study hardly. We wished him a happy life forever.

Long before iPhone， the cigarette was the companion of choice for restlessness． And long before Facebook and WeChat， it was tobacco that promised to better your social life． Now， quitting smartphones has become the new quitting smoking．
Of course， technology does not yellow your teeth， cause disease or lead to cancer． But some individuals are so concerned that device addiction is damaging their mental health． In order to reduce their dependence， even in Silicon Valley， people are turning off the messages that constantly buzz for their attention， banning smartphones from the bedroom and， curiously， changing the colors on their screens to a less tempting scale of gray．
The big tech companies will have to work out how to respond to this new generation of quitters． Facebook is the first to go public with its attempt， hoping its recent move can make the social network more homely．
Last year the tech industry got a bad name ---Big Tech---with unfortunate echoes of other industries that have faced fierce opposition， including Big Tobacco． Like them， the tech industry has to reduce concern from a new generation of activist shareholders （股东） that are questioning its role in the world． These campaigns are never as fierce as those faced by Big Tobacco． In the 1990s， socially responsible investors refused to put money in tobacco stocks．
It is far difficult for investors to challenge Big Tech and hard to separate the good these companies do in the world-connecting old friends and giving space for people to share their ideas-from the bad． In the meantime， stopping using technology remains problematic． In The World Without Mind： The Existential Threat of Big Tech， Franklin Foer argues that tech should be seen in a similar way to junk food： a convenience that some reject for more continuing nutrition．
So we need to do more to turn the tide． In the same way that public service announcements made smoking around your children taboo （禁忌）， we can warn parents against losing themselves in their smartphones while taking care of kids． We can also create no-smartphone zones at dinner． Eventually smartphones could be banned from all public places and help us give our attention to the people around us instead．
1.How did people keep close relationships with others in the past？ ______

C. By phoning D. By dining out．
2.Why is the tech industry called Big Tech？ ______
A. It has an unfortunate name．
B. It is as big as Big Tobacco．
C. It plays a bad role in the world．
D. It is a giant in Silicon Valley．
3.What can we infer from Franklin Foer's argument about the tech？ ______
A. It promotes social development．
B. It is still favored by some people．
C. It is worse than Big Tobacco．
D. It offers continuing nutrition．
4.Which can be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. Creating a No Smartphone Life
B. Smartphones Enrich Our Social Life
C. Smoking Does Greater Harm Than Smartphones Do
D. Quitting Smartphones Is the New Quitting Smoking
Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats have invaded one of Australia’s most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on.
These unwanted guests at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the picturesque harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.
Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’ve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.
The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else’s problem.
1.According to the passage, Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes ?
A.Because the garden are important public places.
B.Because they are polluting the city.
C.Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them.
D.Because they’re threatening the survival of trees and other plants.
2.In order to get rid of the flying foxes, what are people doing?
A.They are shooting them.
B.They are using rubbish containers.
C.They are shaking the trees hard.
D.They are cutting some trees down.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined “agitate” in Paragraph 3?
A.Excite B.kill
C.disturb D.discourage
4.What does the writer imply from the last paragraph?
A.The bats will still stay in the gardens.
B.Some area will have to deal with the bats.
C.The grey-headed flying fox often eat trees
D.The damage caused by the bats is serious
