CISHAN,Aug 12-Hundreds of people were still missing today in remote villages in southern Taiwan and disaster officials said they were uncertain how many people might have been killed by mudslides triggered by Typhoon Morakot.
Morakot, which did terrible damage to Taiwan over the weekend, has killed about 70 people across the island and caused farm-related loss of more than NT $9 billion (RMB 964 million). More than 100 people have been killed in Asia due to Morakot and tropical storm Etau.
But several hundred villagers listed as missing were found alive in areas where roads were washed out and access was limited to helicopters. The government sent special forces with satellite phones to the hardest hit areas."We are anxious to do our best to get the trapped people out," said Hu Jul-chou, an army official involved in the rescue effort. "Hopes are getting slimmer as the days go by."Hu said it was unclear how many people were buried and feared dead in villages in southern Taiwan.
"I have to say I feel pretty good to be alive," said Lin Dong-wen, 45, from the village of Namahsia, sitting in front of a pile of medicine after being hoisted away by a rescue helicopter."If I had been left there any longer, I wouldn't have made it. I saw the mudslide coming," said Lin after arriving in Cishan, hub of rescue efforts."It was really huge, and I passed out. When I awoke, there was mud all over and I climbed out of it."
Helicopters dropped food and supplies to survivors .Other rescue teams piloted rubber dinghies through raging muddy rivers.
Groups of anxious relatives awaited the arrival of helicopter flights at the makeshift rescue base.Some survivors tried to call relatives on mobile phones."Right after the mudslide, we managed to get in touch with our family members through mobile phones and text messages," said 41-year-old teacher awaiting news at the rescue hub. "But later they switched off their phones to save power."
1.From the text we know that _________________
A Morakot has made more than 100 people dead in Taiwan
B Morakot has caused as much loss to Taiwan as other parts
C Morakot stayed over Taiwan over the week
D Morakot has brought worries to the officials
2.The villagers who were thought to be missing_________.
A were trapped in some areas
B wouldn’t get in touch with others

The malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones. Some of the malls remained open around the clock, partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts.
Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring, being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives. However, to use a well-worn play on words: it is our presence, not our presents, that truly counts. Many of us, unfortunately, can be so inattentive, even in the presence of our loved ones, that we might as well not be there at all.
Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time. Whole industries — media, entertainment, education — rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence. A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy.
In earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated (没人管的) without major cause for concern. There were natural checks and balances: limited availability of food meant few got fat, for example. Similarly, in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller; today, watching an entire TV series, while speaking to nobody, is common. In traditional societies, with smaller population, everyone would get a fair deal of attention. On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa; now we have Google and Wikipedia.
“She just wants attention.” people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention. But the truth is that human beings need attention, and giving attention to each other is, to a large extent, what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps explains the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. While we use such sites for “micro Hogging”, “idea voicing” and “status updates” — the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange.
I friend you, you friend me, I retweet you, you retweet me. The charming ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smartphones. It is also a vicious (恶性的) circle. As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, or else risk attention-starvation.
The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible; heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social, and so may take longer to identify, but they will be equally damaging.
Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer, and therefore more valuable. In a sense it is priceless. And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round.
1.In the first two paragraphs the author __________.
A. offers advice to attention givers
B. analyses the present problems
C. states the necessity of presents
D. puts forward his point of view
2.What can we infer from Paragraphs 6-7?
A. More people will risk attention-starvation in future.
B. The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed.
C. Technological advancement contributes to all diseases.
D. Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society.
3.The writer’s purpose for writing the passage is to __________.
A. advocate more focus on real life attention
B. analyze the necessity of attention giving
C. give practical tips on attention exchange
D. recommend some social networking sites
