Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good：the iPad．Instead of looking at nature，I checked my e-mail．Instead of paddling a small boat，I followed my Twitter feed（推特簡(jiǎn)訊）．Instead of reading great novels，I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning．I was behaving as if I were still in the office．My body was on vacation，but my head wasn't．
   So this year I made up my mind to try something different：withdrawal from the Internet．I knew it wouldn't be easy，since I'm bad at self-control．But I was determined．I started by giving the iPad to my wife．
   The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past，making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration．I was trapped，forced to go through with my plan．Largely breaking away from e-mail，Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites，I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to，really？I had to do what I had planned to do all along：read books．
   This experience has had a happy ending．With determination and the strong support of my wife，I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet，realizing finally that it was I，not the iPad，that was the problem．I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi．"I don't need it，"I said．
   However，as we return to post-vacation life，a harder test begins：Can I continue when I'm back at work？
   There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great．I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes，which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two．
I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive．Here I hope this one worked．

  • 3．Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe，the highest divorce rate，and the highest percentage of women working outside the home．Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable，chaotic（混亂的）society，with loads of children，broken homes and absent mothers．But Iceland is the exception - its citizens are the happiest in the world．
       Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness．Located in the middle of the North Atlantic，with Greenland as its nearest neighbor，Iceland is free from the taboos（禁忌）that cause so much trouble elsewhere．For instance，people who divorce are not looked down upon by society．
       Icelanders are offsprings（后代）of the Vikings，a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century．This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland．Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad，and most speak English．
       Perhaps as a result，Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe with the US to create its own welfare system．
       "Many of us have lived in the US，and studied there，" said the Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde． "We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the can-do attitude-- that if you work hard，anything can be done．"
       Indeed，the country is rich in writers，painters，film makers and musicians．There's Sigur Ros，a post-rock band，and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world．Half the population appears to have written a book．
       "Iceland has harsh（惡劣的） nature，with its bitter ever-changing weather，" said Haraldur Jonsson，a painter，sculptor and video and performance artist． "We cannot escape it．So we find ways________．We have to have a rich internal（內(nèi)在的）life to fill the empty spaces．"

    （1）It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about
    ．
    A．social problems
    B．happiness
    C．a(chǎn) unique welfare system
    D．modern way of life
    （2）Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for Icelanders' happiness？

    A．Geographic location．
    B．A rich internal life．
    C．National pride．
    D．Freedom from taboos．
    （3）The most suitable phrase to fill in the blank in the last paragraph is
    ．
    A．to get rid of it
    B．to have it changed
    C．to get away from it
    D．to live with it
