短文改错题。One Sunday last month I go shopping with my friends. Luckily in a crowded store, I had my wallet losing. I was such upset that I almost shouted. I was afraid to tell to my parents the truth. So I went back to school without some money. I didn’t know what to do next. I didn’t eat anything Monday. My roommate Mary found something wrong with me but she asked me about the problem. I told him the truth. Then Mary lent me some money, with that I lived through the terrible week.
Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy. I’m happy due to many key factors(因素). They include my physical health，healthy finances and my family’s happiness.
Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health. 1.
Good health is not enough to be happy. 2. Money obviously pays for the basic necessities of life----food, housing, clothing, etc. ---but it is also necessary for other reasons. Money guarantees we always get good medical treatment when we fall ill. 3.
Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love ,joy, and support that everyone needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer. 4. They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.
5. As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.
A. We still need money in today’s society.
B. These three factors are all I need in this world.
C. Besides, we can use money to improve our life.
D. My family help me get through pressures and difficulties.
E. Sometimes the amount of money we have is determined by out happiness.
F. Clearly, good health is much more important than any other aspect of one’s life.
G. Having good health and healthy finances, we can turn our attention to the happiness of our family.
Children pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer longterm emotional（情感的）and language problems，according to a study published on Friday.
The research，believed to be the first of its kind，found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk，laugh and communicate with their parents.
The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile，facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half. Parents using facetoface buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies’ heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep，showing that they were feeling relaxed and safe.
In addition，only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an awayfacing buggy.
“Our data(数据) suggests that for many babies today，life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults，” said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk，Developmental Psychologist at Scotland’s Dundee University who carried out the research.
The study，which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its “Talk To Your Baby” campaign，found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in awayfacing buggies.
Zeedyk said it would have a negative effect on babies’ development if they spent a long time in awayfacing buggies，which would be bad to their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.
Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust，a social mobility charity which funded the research，said buggy manufacturers(制造商) should look closely at the findings.
1.Using awayfacing buggies may________.
A．benefit both the babies and their parents
B．affect babies’ language ability permanently

D．One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Best for Kids to Face Parents in Buggy
B．Best for Kids to Communicate with Parents
C．Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious Adults
D．Buggy Manufacturers Care about the Finding
I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

Climbers at the top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, will now be able to make video calls and surf the Internet on their mobile phones, a Nepalese (尼泊尔的) telecom group claims.
Ncell, a branch company of Swedish phone giant TeliaSonera, said on Thursday it had set up a high-speed third-generation (3G) phone base station at an altitude of 5,200 metres in the Everest region.
“Today we made the world’s highest video call from Mount Everest base camp successfully. The coverage (覆盖范围) of the network will reach up to the peak of Mount Everest,” Ncell Nepal chief Pasi Koistinen told reporters in Kathmandu.
The installation (安装) will also help tens of thousands of tourists and hikers who visit the world’s highest mountain every year.
Climbers who reached its 8,848-metre peak previously depended on expensive satellite phones and a voice-only network set up by China Mobile in 2007 on the Chinese side of the mountain.
“This is a great milestone for mobile communications as the 3G high speed Internet will bring faster, more affordable telecommunication services from the world’s tallest mountain,” said Lars Nyberg, chief executive of TeliaSonera, which owns 80 percent of Ncell.
The 3G services will be fast enough to make video calls and use the Internet, said the company, which also claimed the world’s lowest 3G base at 1,400 metres below sea level in a mine in Europe.
Despite the installation in Mount Everest, telecom services cover less than one-third of the 28 million people of Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world.
TeliaSonera said it planned to invest $ 100 million in the next year to ensure that mobile coverage increases to more than 90 per cent of the Himalayan nation’s population.
The 3G network on Mount Everest puts TeliaSonera ahead of state-controlled Nepal Telecom, Indian-owned United Telecom and China Mobile.
Around 3,000 people have climbed to the Everest summit since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to conquer the peak in 1953.
1.Who are most likely to benefit from the 3G services at Mount Everest?
A. The telecom firm. B. The local residents.
C. Travelers to Nepal. D. Mount Everest explorers.
2.According to Lars Nyberg, the 3G services they provide __________.
A. are fast and convenient B. are a little expensive
C. can make voice-only calls D. offer free emailing
3.What do we know about TeliaSonera?
A. 80 percent of it is owned by Ncell
B. It belongs to Nepal Telecom.
C. It is in the charge of Pasi Koistinen
D. It provides services for Pasi Koistinen.
4.What is the best title of the text?
A. Telecommunication in Nepal
B. 3G services reach Mt. Everest summit
C. TeliaSonera takes lead in communication
D. Good news for hikers and climbers
