Today’ s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries. There are ______36 with AmericanEnglish, with British English, with idioms or slang, and 37 with pictures. One of the most 38______dictionaries I have seen among many students is the 39______ electronic dictionary. All you have to do is to ______40 a word in your language and you can see it and 41______ it in English. That* s great, right? Well, I think it* s great, too…but only sometimes.
Bilingual electronic dictiooaries are fast and ______42 . They can be great 43 you are traveling and need information quickly. 44______ I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual 45______dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.
When you reach an intermediate(中等的）level of English, you know 46 ______of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head ______47 time. You should be translating as little as possible and 48 ______in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students should 49 ______an English-English dictionary that is made ______50 for your understanding. For example，Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press has good dictionaries for students and 51______ publishing houses do, too.
I also feel that paper dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, 
they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you______ 52 seems to stay in your head longer. It may be______ 53 you are forced to spell the word in your head and therefore "see it" more clearly in your ______54 .
So what do you do if you have checked an English - English dictionary and still don ’ t understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to
try to ___55 in English a s much as possible.

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address (="tell)" it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.
We can infer that passage is to ________.
A．explain how to use the Internet B．describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology C．tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet D．introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
A．spend less time working B．have more free time with his child C．work at home on weekends D．work at a speed comfortable to him
A．reach a group of people at one time conveniently B．keep one’s communication as personal as possible C．pass on much more information than the latter D．get in touch with one’s friends faster than the latter
A．Computer: New Technological Advances B．Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship C．Computers Have Made Life Easier D．Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication
