A

Maybelle said she wouldn’t be coming with me to the library. I asked why, and she said she could get all the short stories she wanted off the Internet. Saved walking all the way to the library, and putting up with my long chat on the way there, and on the way back. Maybelle is very direct like that, always has been.

“But, Maybelle, we’ve been walking to the library every Monday for the last fifty years!”

She said, “Why don’t you get Internet? We can send each other emails.”

So I had to get Internet. I called the local high school. They said they’d send me a good student to tell me all about computers and such.

Evil thing, this Internet. Makes you lose old friends, forces you to learn new complex ideas, even if you’re too old. But Maybelle said you have to be modern; otherwise, you’re dead.

The kid came the next day. Tall skinny black kid, by the name of Arsenius, said his work would cost more.

I said, “All right. As long as I get Internet.”

“You need a computer, then you need to get hooked up,” he said.

“Let’s buy a computer and get hooked up, then.”

“How much you want to spend?”

“Whatever it takes.”

“How many rams you want?”

I wasn’t going to show him my ignorance, so I said, “Whatever it takes.”

“Let’s go to the mall. You got a car?”

“In the garage.”

When I opened the garage door, he gasped. Daddy’s car is still there, a’57 Chevy. I never drive it. Walk everywhere.

I said, “Let’s walk. It’s only a mile or so.”

He said, “Let’s drive, or you will faint on me in this heat.”

“Young man, I don’t faint, never have. We’re walking.”

“I get paid by the hour,” he said. “Walking will cost you a lot more. Also, you feel like carrying a computer a mile or so?”

56. What kind of person is Maybelle?

A. She always says what she means in an honest way.

B. She no longer likes reading in her old age.

C. She doesn’t want to be friends with the writer any more.

D. She doesn’t want to keep up with the time.

57. Why does the writer want to have Internet at his place?

A. Because the writer believes that one is never too old to learn.

B. Because the writer thinks that it is
better late than never.

C. Because of the pressure from people of his age.

D. Because of the convenience the Internet will bring.

58. How many reason does Arsenius give for driving to the mall?

Gadgets make study fun

Now in a world piled high with smart phones, tablets (平板电脑) and e-readers, technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. All you have to do is swipe your fingers on your phone screen and download some apps (应用程序), which can make your study more fun and efficient. Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy -- and with the following few apps, it’ll be tough to tell the two apart.



Evernote

Use: note-taking

Can be used on: iPhone/ iPad/ iPod touch, Android, BlackBerry, Palm OS and Windows, Phone 7 price: free

If you take notes to stay organized, then Evernote is for you. The main thing about Evernote is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud -- and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the Evernote app or a web browser (浏览器). Evernote also supports audio and photo notes -- rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes. But, of course, ask for permission first.
