My grandmother complains about how things have changed and she says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be.If the husband and the wife have problems with their marriage, they don’t stay together any more.And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now many of them don’t do so any more.Almost everyone is working.Most mothers don’t have time for their children.
And the cars! Few people walk now.Everyone is trying to drive.We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter.
And in school, children don’t have to think hard any more.In a math class, they often use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now.In my days,we didn’t have computers.We didn’t even have electricity.My mother used to spend much time cooking in the kitchen.Now fewer people eat home-cooked food.They often go out to eat.
And many people don’t talk to each other any more.They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think.
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.
根据语篇内容,判断下列句子正( )误( )。

(2024·南充中考)
Recently,I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,”she replied.
How was it possible,I asked myself,to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch.If I can get so much pleasure from touch,how much more beauty must be found by sight(视力) And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day,I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me.In the afternoon,I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature.That night,I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day,I should go to the museums to see man’s progress.I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art.In the evening,I should spend at the movies.
The following day,I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life.At midnight permanent(永久的) night would close in on me again,and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see:Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind.The same is true of other senses.Hear the songs of birds,as if you would be deaf tomorrow.Smell the flowers,as if tomorrow you could never smell again...But of all the senses,I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.

These days, tall modern buildings are rising everywhere.But if you go to a Chinese water town, you can still take a trip back in time(回到从前).CNN(美国有线电视新闻网) has picked China’s five most beautiful water towns.

While most water towns are in the south, Shandong’s Tai’erzhuang stands out in the north.The town lies on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.It was a busy trading hub(中心) during the Ming and Qing dynasties.In the town, there are ancient bridges, canals and temples, making you think of its past glory(荣耀).

(2024·南充中考)
Recently,I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,”she replied.
How was it possible,I asked myself,to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch.If I can get so much pleasure from touch,how much more beauty must be found by sight(视力) And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day,I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me.In the afternoon,I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature.That night,I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day,I should go to the museums to see man’s progress.I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art.In the evening,I should spend at the movies.
The following day,I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life.At midnight permanent(永久的) night would close in on me again,and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see:Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind.The same is true of other senses.Hear the songs of birds,as if you would be deaf tomorrow.Smell the flowers,as if tomorrow you could never smell again...But of all the senses,I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.
