The Greatest Gift
On Christmas Eve, George found himself on a bridge outside his hometown. He was sad because he thought his life had been a complete waste. In this hopeless moment, a mysterious man appeared. The man wondered why George was here instead of staying with his family. George told him he disliked his simple life in the small town. George believed he was just an insignificant banker with a family doing the same thing every day. Without any achievement, George wished he had never been born at all. Hoping to teach him a lesson, the man granted(满足) George his wish.
After the man disappeared, George traveled back to town. Nothing appeared out of place until he walked by Hank Biddle’s tree. The tree should have been damaged(毁坏) from the time George ran his car into it. But in this moment, the tree looked like it hadn’t been hit. In fact, he remembered clearly that he had run his car into it. Soon, George discovered the town he knew so well didn’t know him at all because he had never been born.
As George walked around town, he noticed he was a stranger to everyone. Not only that, George learned that the lives of his friends and family had taken a turn for the worse. For one, George’s job as a banker was replaced by another man. Because the new banker was greedy(贪婪的), many people’s lives were negatively affected.
Without George, the lives of his family members were also disturbed. George learned that his beloved brother, whom he had once saved from drowning(溺水), died because George was not there to save him. The death of George’s brother continued to bring huge sadness to their parents. George also found out that Alice, the love of his life, ended up in a difficult marriage with someone else.
George realized these dark changes might stay forever unless he did something. He returned to the bridge to find the man and begged for his life back. Once again, his wish was granted. George raced back home to hug Alice and their children on Christmas. He realized that life was truly the greatest and most wonderful gift.

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the society. Progress shows a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only if people choose to accept technology and find new and more efficient(高效的) ways to move forward.
However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who missed the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and whenever they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With communication tools, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not make the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit has the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts.
With efficiency also comes mass production(大规模生产). Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy(精确) than any human hand. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not make the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to think again about their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.
4. Progress can benefit people when they are willing to ____.
A. live a better life than before
B. look for more efficient methods
C. change the way of living at the moment
D. accept technology and find ways to move forward
5. Why does the writer talk about handicrafts in Paragraph 3?
A. To explain supply can increase the demand.
B. To stress efficiency may have a negative effect.
C. To suggest factories should improve efficiency.
D. To show handmade objects may be of low quality.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Progress can meet the needs of daily life.
B. Technology can be used in different ways.
C. A new past can be created by making progress.
D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Technology can make the old products new.
B. Technology may cause fewer personal visits.
C. Technology can lead to higher quality in production.
D. Technology may reduce people’s contact with others.

答案： 4.D　5.B　6.D　7.B
