Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the onewho enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, heis fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in hislife be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is alwayspresenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people becausethey are too well-known. But a child has his pain: he is not so free to do what he wished to do;he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay forhis food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spendsmost of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And ifhe breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greathappiness of building up for himself his own position in society.第 2 页 （共 9 页） 6.

Becausewe are linked to the wider world by a radio modem, our location has become irrelevant when itcomes to keeping in touch, making us part of a new breed of world travelers: tech-nomads. Some traditional sailors avoid the use of communications technology on board. “If you’regoing to be so tied to civilization,” they ask, “why leave it at all?” But I’m not a hermit.Connectivity has yet to make a romantic South Seas sunset less special to us. Going wireless was an evolutionary process. In 1993, before our first Atlantic crossing, hightech meant rowing to land with our laptop computer and finding Europe’s southernmosttelephone booth in the Canary Islands to send a fax. Locals on the island of Hierro stuck theirnoses into the telephone booth, wide-eyed, watching us perform our electronic magic. By 1998we could remain at our chart table while sending and receiving e-mail. That same year, we tookthe link a step further and created the first radio-updated Website, Pangaea. When I transmit our daily location update via e-mail to our friends and family members, Iimagine them sinking pins in wall maps all over the world. If they stopped hearing from us,they would forward our last position to search-and-rescue authorities. During our first “wired”voyage, Pangaea had some engine trouble, and we had to make a choice between Haiti, Cubaand Jamaica for an emergency repair. Readers, who were “virtually” on board with us, offeredadvice regarding repair facilities. The Internet serves as an emotional lifeline when we are far away from land. The connectionwe feel with family, friends and other Web-site readers helps keep up our spirits and makes theadventure more manageable, We look forward to the day when we can share more of the farreaches of this wonderful planet with anyone who cares to sail with us virtually.16. We can infer from the second paragraph that some traditional sailors ____. A. lack communications technology to keep in touch with the outside world B. avoid the use of communications tools in order to get away from civilization C. think they will get lost because they don’t have communications technology on board D. feel it less romantic if they use communications technology on board答案：B解析：从第二段可以推测出来。17. What does the author mean by saying “Connectivity has yet to make a romantic SouthSeas sunset less special to us” (Line3,Para 2)? A. Being linked to the outside world does not make our adventure less romantic.第 5 页 （共 9 页） B. Being linked to the outside world, we feel less romantic watching the sunset on the SouthSeas. C.
