The concept of solitude(獨處) in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be 36 . Solitude can be hard to discover 37 it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have 38 our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n) 39 as we’ve known it. People have become so 40 in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted 41 they’d rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog(寫博客), not only from our 42 , but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become 43 on digital technology simply because they’ve grown accustomed to it, and at this point not 44 it would make them an outsider. 45 , many jobs and careers require people to be 46 . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a 47 to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 48 wants it. Computers can be shut 49 and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many 50 , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up 51 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel 52 and forced to answer unwanted calls or 53 to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society 54 across generations. Some find today’s technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone’s view on the subject, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like 55 daily advancements in technology.

The largest earthquake ( magnitude里氏 9.5) of the 20th century happened on May 22, 1960 off the coast of South Central Chile. ?
It generated(生成) one of the most destructive Pacific wide tsunamis(海嘯). Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concep-cion to the south end of Isla Chiloe. The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe -----the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中). Huge tsunami waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within 10 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland. ?
There was large damage and loss of life at Concep-cion, Chile's top industrial city. Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed . A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000 people were left homeless.?
Total damage losses, including to agriculture and to industry, were estimated(估計) to be over a half billion dollars . The total number of death related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region. Estimates of deaths reached between 4,900 to 57,002 with no distinction(差別) as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami. However, it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami.
1.Where did the largest tsunami damage occurred? ?
A. Concep--cion. B. Isla Chiloe. C. Valdivia D. Valparaiso.
2.What can we learn about the tsunami waves generated by the earthquake? ?
A. The tsunami waves as high as 25 meters arrived immediately after the earthquake.
B. The tsunami waves killed 200 people and sank all the boats. ?
C. The tsunami waves were very destructive. ?
D. The tsunami waves flooded half of the inland.
3.What is the total number of deaths in the earthquake? ?
A. About 2,000,000. B. Between 4,900 to 57,002.?
C. About 200,000. D. It was hard to know.
