【文章內容簡介】 The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady. I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking. The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies. I said, “I’m not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and I’m going home.”The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying “If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk.” Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye.Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said “Hope you have a lovely Christmas.” She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge.What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather. My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound.56．The underlined word “spellbound” in the last paragraph probably means .

Call me what you want, but refuse to bee part of this new Internet world.I do not possess a puter at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all munications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of worldshaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned, the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a puter do it they are seeking a cure for their illness?There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me。 I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to e in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The plexity of a puter as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, puters will bee more plex, and a time may e when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude about conjurers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.60．What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”? A．Get me out of the Internet world. B．Computers are trying to take control of life. C．Modern technology pushes old people away. D．Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.61．According to Paragrap
