For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When I was a college student, I did a lot of travelling abroad. That was because a professor
50 me to do so. She said,“Now is the time for you to travel around the world,
51 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I agreed with her.
Since I started to work for a
52 company, however, I have done most of my travellling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the sights of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business
53 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got
54 about food in different countries.
Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were
55 necessary when I happened to read a famous chef’s comment on the Internet. He said,“It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the atmosphere around us at the same time. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian
56 ?” Those words reminded me of my
57 advice. As information technology
58 ,you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various
59 you can get from travelling.
Today there are people who
60 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people
61 not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are
62 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to
63 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily communication more fruitful. However, we should never let it
64 our time for face-to-face communication. Let’s make use of information technology more
wisely, and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
