M: Well, I guess there are three things that I cannot live without. You saw me playing with my new toy just now. It’s my iPod touch and it is great. I often take long bus journeys at the weekend. And on this little thing I can watch a movie, and that just makes bus journeys fly by. It also has wireless Internet so I can carry it around, and in a coffee shop I can check my email. And it is also able to play music, although I don’t listen to music much. That’s one. My iPod touch is with me all the time. It’s kind of connected to my No. 2. No. 2 is the Internet. I couldn’t live without the Internet. I’m online every day reading newspapers, checking out information about things I want to do or see that day, keeping in touch with family and friends, although I don’t do that as much as they would like. The Internet is such a huge part of my life. I can’t imagine what it was like ten or fifteen years ago when nobody was online. No. 3, I suppose, is the sun which sounds a bit meaningless because everything on earth requires the sun. But for me, it’s not so much about getting what plants and animals get from the sun. It’s just being able to enjoy the soft warmth, lying by the pool, letting my mind be empty and clear. Those are my three. How about you?
18. Why does the man always carry his iPod touch? B
A. To talk with his friends.
B. To pass time enjoyably.
C. To work while travelling.

19. What do we know about life ten or fifteen years ago? C
A. People enjoyed life more.
B. The Internet first came into use then.
C. It was harder for people to get in touch online.

20. Why does the man think the sun is very important for his life? C
A. It makes him more active.
B. It allows him to think over.
C. It gives him a feeling of comfort.
