A
I was in the middle of a sweet dream when a noise startled me. Bam! Bam! It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail. Bam! Bam! BAM! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention.
Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes, the noise changed. I sat at the edge of my bed and listened. Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.
I started dozing off, dangerously leaning to the left, when the ticking stopped. it was now replaced by a buzz, similar to the noise coming from a beehive in midsummer, only louder. I shivered. “I’m allergic to bees! Even just thinking about it or hearing a bee-like sound makes me swell.
“That’s it!” I should, now wide awake. “I can’t take it anymore!” I marched to the next apartment and knocked. My neighbor immediately opened the door. His curly brown hair was sticking up every which way. He wore baggy striped pants and a loose raspberry shirt.
“Hi, there, Lucy! What’s up?” he asked.
I pointed at my noiseless watch. “Do you know hat time it is?”
He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece. “Oh, my! I didn’t realize it was that late. I’m busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia(失眠). It’s almost finished. You want to see it?”
I should have known. His last invention was supposed to annihilate bad smells, but it was powered by rotten eggs.
1、What made the author sleepy again?
A．His neighbor’s silence B．The ticking sound
C．The coming of the bees D．The smell of the rotten eggs
2、What was Charlie doing?

C．He was working with the bees D．He was making a new machine

C．Surprised D．Annoyed
4、What does the underlined word “ annihilate” in the last paragraph mean?

B
There is a 1930s-old restaurant in my hometown that has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth that sits neglected in the age of the cellphone.
Ah, the phone booth. We need it now more than ever.
For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if the information being shared was not sensitive in any way. It was simply assumed that a phone conversation was meant for two people, and two people only. In public places this meant turning to the phone booth—a private chamber where one could converse in peace without being overheard.
Even at home, phone calls used to be regarded as private. Growing up in the 1960s, we had one phone in the house—fixed to the kitchen wall.
As a kid, I didn't get or make many calls. I do, however, remember answering the phone, asking for the identity of the caller, and then handing the phone to my mom. She'd take it, say “Hello, Mrs. Flaubert，” and then, “one moment please，” as she placed her hand over the receiver, turned to me, and directed, “This is for me. Why don't you go outside and play？”
Flash forward to what cellphones have done to the past. Within the space of very few years, private conversations have become public declaration, and being overheard seems to be the point. A large part of the problem, of course, is that we now carry our phones with us, and the reflex(反射) to answer the device as soon as it rings is a response Pavlov would have appreciated.
But the information is revealed! Not long ago I was sitting in Boston's South Station, waiting for my train. After purchasing a sandwich, I sat down at a table near a man who was on his cellphone.
Let me paraphrase what the man had to say：“Yes, that's right. The red and yellow roses. That will be a Visa.” Then he proceeded to recite his card number and expiration date before signing off.
I stared unbelievably at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked，“What？”
My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along with the expiration date.
There is no more privacy, no longer a sense of personal borders or limits and the cellphone has become a loudspeaker.
To return to phone booths: Why did they disappear? And should you think a phone booth has no value today, I saw one on eBay going for $4，750.
1、Why do private conversations turn into public declaration according to the passage?
A．Phone booths have died out in modern life.
B．People lack a sense of personal borders or limits.
C．The content of phone calls is not that sensitive.
D．It is convenient for people to reach for cellphones.
2、By describing what happened in Boston's South Station, the author indicates that ________．
A．it's ridiculous to answer cellphones in public places
B．it's impolite to overhear others answering cellphones
C．it's necessary to keep a safe distance from others when answering phones
D．it's inappropriate to touch on personal information in cellphone conversations
3、What can we conclude from the passage?
A．Pavlov is in favor of answering cellphones instantly.
B．Something seemingly old-fashioned holds its charm today.
C．Phone booths are very popular with consumers on the Internet.
D．People used to lack a sense of trust and security in the 1960s.
