课时分层作业(八)　Module 2　No Drugs Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2022·广东综合测试一) Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just “interesting” or “well done”—it's a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you.A book like that for me was released last week.It's called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet，written by editor Pamela Paul. Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely：writing letters，printing newspapers，the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.

On and on the list goes，with every minor shift adding to the pile.What this book does so well is that it illustrates the growth of that pile；while any individual item might be no big deal，the collected set is significant.It's a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then. Obviously，Paul isn't saying that everything back then was better.Time marches on，after all，and it's tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives.But that isn't really the point.It's not about whether it used to be better.It's that it used to be different. 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul's memories and experiences.We remember what it was like and we like to remember.The landscape has shifted，and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace.This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made，sometimes something is lost. 1．What is the purpose of the text?
