完形填空。     The concept of solitude (独处) 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  1  . Solitude can
be hard to discover   2   it has been given up. In this respect, new
technologies have  3   our culture.
     The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n)   4   as we"ve known it. People have become
so   5  in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted   6   they"d rather not be.

     Franz Kafka wrote that "a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. "I once
shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn"t seem to require any explanation.
     We"d just finished John Steinbeck"s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together
out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. "Are you
crying?" one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. "I am," I told her, "and
the funny thing is I"ve read it many times."
     But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always
going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I"ve taught
kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents
themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand,
more than I ever will, the novel"s terrible logic-the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).
     For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works
of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to
my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective
high school-one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan"s upper classes-into a
less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt
uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional "cultural capital" could help students
like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first
time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D."s.
     Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies,
Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.
The students didn"t always read from the expected point of view.
     About The Red Pony, one student said, "it"s about being a man, it"s about manliness. "I had never
before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth"s soliloquies
(独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once
introduced to Steinbeck"s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me
repeatedly how amazing it was that "all these people hate each other, and they"re all white." His
historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former
students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the
classes.
     Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to
teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text
complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that
ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in
raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it
belongs to them.
1. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to ______.
A. realize our dreams          
B. give support to our life
C. smooth away difficulties    
D. awake our emotions
2. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?
A. Because they spent much time reading it.
B. Because they had read the novel before.
C. Because they came from a public school.
D. Because they had similar life experiences.
3. The girl left the selective high school possibly because_______.
A. she was a literary-minded girl      
B. her parents were immigrants
C. she couldn"t fit in with her class    
D. her father was then in prison
4. To the author"s surprise, the students read the novels_______.
A. creatively    
B. passively    
C. repeatedly    
D. carelessly
5. The author writes the passage mainly to_______.
A. introduce classic works of literature
B. advocate teaching literature to touch the heart
C. argue for equality among high school students
D. defend the current testing system
