An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake.He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads—one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed ( 发嘶嘶声) and crawled (爬行).He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.The high church clock struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst our a cry: “Come back, my early days!”His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating (犹豫)to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (绊脚) onthe dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain（徒劳）: “ Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”77. Why does the author set his story on New Yea r’s Night?A. He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the past.B.

But a study of the tracks left by 50,000 mobile phone users over three months has finally proved that the truth is otherwise.“We are all in one way or another boring,” says Albert-Laszlo Barabasi at the Center for Complex Network Research at Northeastern University in Boston, who co-wrote the study. “Spontaneous individuals are largely absent from the population,”Barabasi and colleagues used three months’ worth of data from a mobile phone network to track the mobile ph one towers each person’s phone connected to each hour of the day, showing their general location. They conclude that regardless of whether a person typically remains close to home or wanders far and wide, their movements are probably predictable as much as 93 percent of the time.Surprisingly, the mobile phone data showed that individuals’ movements were more or less as predictable at weekends as on weekdays, suggesting that routine(日程) is rooted in human nature rather than being an effect of work patterns.The mobile phone records were handled to make out the most visited locations for each user. Then the probability of finding a given user at his most visited locations at each hour through the day was calculated.People were to be found in their most visited location for any given hour 70 percent of the time. Not surprisingly, the figure increased at night, and decreasedat lunchtime and in the early evening, when most people were returning home from work.The team analyzed the randomness(随意性) of people’s traces to show it was possible in theory to predict the average person’s places as much as 93 percent of the time.“Say your routine movement is from home to the coffee shop to work: if you are at home and then go to the coffee shop it’s e asy for me to predict that you are going to work,” says co-author Nicholas Blumm.This predictability was not much affected by differences in age, gender, language spoken or whether a person lived in a rural or urban setting.52.The “spontaneous individuals” are most probably people who ______.A.are boring in some wayB.act with much freedomC.can live without a mobile phoneD.rely much on a mobile phone in life53.A phone user’s location is shown by_______.A.which mobile phone network he is connected toB.the content of his every phone callC.which mobile phone tower he is connected toD.how often he uses the phone every day54.According to the sixth paragraph, a person is more likely to ____ at night thanin the early evening.A.return home from workB.be found at homeC.take home as his most visited placeD.go to his most visited place55.What is the passage mainly about?A. The factors that help determine one’s routine.B. The predictability of one’s routine.C. The influence of mobile phones on o ne’s routine.D. The new application of mobile phone.DOnce there was a rich，beautiful and wise princess．Tired of those who were only interested in her money，she said that she would only marry whoever managed to present her with the most valuable and sincere gift of all．Soon the palace was filled with gifts of every kind．Among all these gifts，she found a simple dirty stone．She wondered who had offered this gift．She pretended （假装） to be very angry because of the gift when the young man was brought before her.
