The New York Times published an article recently that shows great regret for the “death of conversation”. It 　1 that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more 　2 than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.

　　　 Users get final connectivity at the price of 　3 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are 　4 to a different way of being “alone together”.

　　　 Actually, 　5 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to 　6 thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot 　7 a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a (n) 　8 . “The give and take of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and 　9 people.

Turkle mentioned the popular 　10 of “I share, therefore I am” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s a mindset adopted by most 　11 people. They are so busy creating or polishing their online persona (網(wǎng)絡(luò)人格) that they forget how to live a (n) 　12 life.

However, experts remind us that it’s 　13 to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, 　14 out that it is still owners of gadgets, who’re avoiding personal contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other. 　15 throwing away the mobile gadgets is not a solution.” she said.

Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how   27   this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (沖動(dòng)) it needed to   28  .

At 7:10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game   29   and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours.

On this clear night he   32   looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even   33   the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already   34   our way out of the door.

Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a   35   of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and   36   my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman. 

Seconds later, the team ran onto the   37  , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy   38   from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the   39   of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and   40   that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.
