阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

When was the last time you wrote a letter?

A recent survey of 1,000 teenagers around the world found that a third of today’s teenagers had never written a letter, half had not written a thank-you letter, around 83 percent had never written a love letter, and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card. In fact, 58 percent of teenagers complained that handwriting was “too slow” and 17 percent believed it was “outdated”

These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day die out, even though many people still think it is an important skill.

“Handwriting is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same importance as other art forms such as sketching(素描)，painting，or photography，”Jonathan Skyrme, general manager of BIC UK &Ireland, told the Daily Mail.

The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that online messages can never do. “When you get an e-mail, you can never be sure that you are the only person to have received it—or even that it was written by the person who sent it,” said the newspaper.

As US author Simon Garfield once wrote，“E-mails are a poke(蜻蜒点水), but letters are a loving touch.”

So imagine the powerful message you will send if you actually write out your thoughts for another person by hand, buy a stamp, take your note to a mailbox and wait days for your special someone to receive it. Their smile at your thoughtfulness will say it all. 31. What can we learn from Paragraph 2？

A. Most teenagers hadn’t written a love letter. B. The art of handwriting may disappear one day.

C. 300 teenagers of today’s had never written a letter． D. Over half teenagers thought handwriting was out of date．

32. The New York Times and Simon Garfield may both agree that_______． A. letters have some advantages over E-mails

B. letters and E-mails have their own advantages C. Handwriting is as important as other art forms D. letters and E-mails send a message in the same way 33. Which is true according to the last paragraph? A. It is funny to post a letter. B. It’s boring to wait for a letter. C. People are glad to receive a D. It’s a waste of time to write a letter. letter.

Marie Kondo is an expert（专家）on organizing and cleaning. She is considered an expert on clearing away unused or unnecessary things, known as clutter. She wrote a book called “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”, which is a best-seller around the world.

Marie Kondo says people can improve their life by changing the way that they think about all their things—everything from books, documents and photographs to clothing.

This is not the first time an organizing expert has written a book on clutter. Other books suggest wonderful things will happen when you organize your home. One book says that if you throw out 50 things from your home, you will truly find your life. Another book says that if you make clutter disappear, you will also lose weight. And still others promise a better job, more money and a perfect family if you simply organize the things. Marie Kondo told the Business Insider website that some of her customers have lost weight. “Your self-perception is improved by living in a clean and tidy room,” she said. “This can change lifestyles and appearances.”

Marie Kondo teaches a method of organizing that she calls KonMari. Ms．Kondo says KonMari creates a different relationship between you and your things. If the object meant something
