话题:跟上科技发展的母亲
For her 85th birthday, I gave my mother an iPad. She'd never used a computer. She had a trying relationship with her TV remote control and a poor track record with her cell.
She was interested in a tablet because she knew people who had them.__1__Otherwise, she'd one day find herself in a computerized kitchen, “unable to open a can of soup”.
Our first task was email. She quickly learned the fundamentals.__2__
Next, we tackled Netflix. Mom was a movie lover with an appetite for thrillers. She was astonished by the amount of thrillers that Netflix has on offer. One Saturday she called because she was having trouble logging onto Netflix.__3__ “They probably have fewer people working as it's a long weekend,” she told me.
She learned to Zoom and FaceTime. She experimented with podcasts. She started emailing her grandchildren.
__4__ So we downloaded the library app and signed her up for an ecard. Now she regularly downloads ebooks herself. When they are not immediately available, she puts them on hold and forgets about them.
We speak on the phone every day. Now, we also FaceTime, Zoom and email. She powers through ebooks, marveling (惊叹)that she can check them out in the middle of the night. She watches TV series. She knows what's trending. But she has not yet successfully surfed the Net.
I can't wait for the day when we can sit down in person and surf the Net together. Meanwhile, it's great to see how much her confidence has grown.__5__“I've made a resolution,” she announced. “I'm going to learn how to operate every piece of technology in the apartment—including the TV remote.”
A. Mom is a reader.
B.Reading is difficult.
C.Yesterday, she FaceTimed me.
D.I suggested it might require an update.
E.And she believed that she must keep up with technology.
F.So it's apparent that email is by no means important in our daily life.
G.But she couldn't see the point of emailing when she could phone or visit in person.

3.D [根据前文“One Saturday she called because she was having trouble logging onto Netflix.(一个周六,她打来电话,因为她无法登录Netflix。)”可知,下文应该讲述作者给母亲的解答。D选项“I suggested it might require an update.(我建议它可能需要更新。)”符合题意。]
4.A [根据后文“So we downloaded the library app and signed her up for an ecard.(所以我们下载了图书馆应用程序,为她注册了一张电子卡片。)”由此可见,母亲很爱读书。A选项“Mom is a reader.(妈妈是个爱读书的人。)”符合题意。]
