My heart beat with that feeling, pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys. As the piece neared the end, I stood up to take my final bow. For a second, the room was quiet. Yet, even in that one second, I had enough time to doubt whether I had done everything perfectly. Then, suddenly, the applause came.

“Thank you… so much,” I said, turning to Olga, my piano teacher for six years. “You’ve been an amazing student all these years,” she said, “and I hope that whatever you do, you never stop practicing.”

I leaned forward, promising I would always keep playing because I loved piano, and hugged her.

It turned out to be that promises weren’t as meaningful as I’d hoped for them to be. Right after quitting, I kept up my strict practicing schedule. Soon, it began slipping away from me. After all, the reason I had stopped taking lessons was that my schedule was busy with homework. Not long after, I stopped practicing altogether. It was pleasing not to have to stress about piano anymore. But something was shifting inside of me. I was empty inside.

One day I met Michelle, who had also taken piano lessons from Olga for quite a while.

“So, are you still taking lessons from Olga?” She asked.

“Um, no, actually I just quit a while ago,” I replied quickly.

“Oh, that’s a shame,” she responded, “You used to be so good — I remember your performance a year ago; it was breathtaking.”

Two days after talking to Michelle, I subconsciously(潜意识地)sat down on the bench and started playing. I wasn’t even trying to make the notes sound musically correct…I was simply doing what I should have been this entire time: playing, just to be playing.

As the music spread, a familiar feeling rose inside me.

C. whether she played the piano perfectly

D. whether she was polite to make a bow

22. Why did the writer stop practicing the piano?

D. She was busy with her homework.

23. After stopping the piano, the writer felt .

B. she got rid of the pressure of life

C. she had more time to do other activities

D. she changed herself into another person

24. Michael seemed to think .

Free Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.

Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor.

“Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling—especially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites.”

However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.

Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit,” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing（捕捉） moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travel’s deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos?”

In September, Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?

25. According?to?the?passage,?people?nowadays?tend?to?do?the?following?EXCEPT?

.

A. getting out of a library that has no access to the Internet

B. thinking ill of a hotel without Wi-Fi

C. enjoying travelling better without carrying any Hi-Tech equipment

D. making travel plans via the Internet

26. Through the fourth paragraph, the author intends to .

A. show a different opinion on the topic

B. give more evidence to the view mentioned

C. get into another topic

D. summarize the previous paragraphs

27. What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland?

A. Travelers cannot survive without Hi-Tech.

B. Her fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.

C. Taking pictures doesn’t affect appreciating nature.

D. Her over-reliance on technology has come at a price.

28. What does “an unplugged holiday” mean in the last paragraph?

A. A camping holiday. B. A holiday without Wi-Fi.

C. A holiday in a remote hotel. D. A holiday without taking pictures.

Study finds being sociable is good for your health, while loneliness is as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

A circle of close friends and strong family ties can improve a person’s health more than exercise, losing weight or quitting cigarettes and alcohol, psychologists say. Sociable people seem to benefit extra rewards from their relationships by feeling less stressed, taking better care of themselves and having less risky lifestyles than those who are more lonely, they say.

A review of studies into the effect of relationships on health found that people had a 50% better survival rate if they belonged to a wider social group, be it friends, neighbors, relatives or a mix of these.

The obvious effect of social connections on health has led researchers to call on health officials to take loneliness as seriously as other health risks, such as alcoholism(酗酒) and smoking.

“We take relationships for granted as humans,” said Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a psychologist at Brigham Young University in Utah. “ That continuous interaction(相互影响) is beneficial not only psychologically but physically.”

Holt-Lunstad’s team reviewed 148 studies that followed the social interactions and health of 308,849 people over an average of 7.5 years. From these they worked out how death rates differed depending on how sociable a person was.

Holt-Lunstad said friends and family can improve health in many ways, from help in tough times to finding meaning in life. “When someone is connect
