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.

All that seemed 14 and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to 15 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 16 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 17 to help clean cars．Passers-by were 18 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they 19 ．A pretty heartwarmingscene !

Sudha’s comeback was 62 moving an event that a film producer 63 to make the story into a hit film.
When someone asked Sudha how she had 64 to dance again, she said quite simply, “YOU DON’T NEED FEET TO DANCE.” 65 is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything.
