　　[2016·河南八市联考]The holiday season is the time of magic moments. Our hearts are waiting for something special to happen. Children dream of meeting Santa Claus and receive desirable presents. I'm sure that grandparents are waiting for their kids' and grandchildren's visit. If your holiday schedule is tightly packed, then you should find at least two hours to pay a visit to your grandparents.

　　We often forget about three magic words “I love you”. Love is not a sign of weakness and our grandparents deserve to hear these pleasant and healing words. Don't feel shy of showing and proving your love. Your hug and a frank smile can be the best cure for different diseases to your dear grandparents.

　　Old people are very sensible creatures. They need both physical and mental supports. Younger people should be patient enough to pay attention, hear out and don't let their grandparents feel too old, lonely and useless. There're hundreds of ideas on how to make something good and useful for your grandparents. The best one is to bring a fresh and bushy Christmas tree to their house. Do your best to decorate it with lights and ribbons. Encourage your grandparents to do it together.

　　Unfortunately, people are like candles. The light of their eyes can die out in a moment. Chances are high that their hearts will

　　stop one day. Why don't we begin to value things before we lose them? I know that not everyone can answer this challenging question.

　　I hope this week will bring a lot of joy to children, parents and their grandparents. Don't forget to treat grandparents with respect because they're an essential part of your family.

　　[2016·河南南阳一中检测]According to a survey，more Europeans go digital—changing from fixed lines to mobile phones and from narrowband to broadband Internet connections.

　　The survey showed that 22 percent of EU households use only mobile phones, up from 18 percent a year ago，while the percentage of households with at least one fixed line decreased by 5 percent to 72 percent, although the percentage of households with at least one mobile phone remains fairly stable at 81 percent.

More than half of households access the Internet via an ADSL line and 34 percent of broadband connections are wireless.

　　“Europe's digital economy is growing strongly as more and more households love to choose between fixed, mobile and Internet services，” said EU Information Society and Media Commissioner wiane Reding. “The challenge of this year's reform of the EU's telecom rules will be to respond to this rapidly changing technological environment while enhancing (提高) at the same time effective competition.”

　　Meanwhile, nearly 20 percent of Europeans buy two or more telecom products from a single service provider, the combination of fixed telephony and Internet access being the most common. The result may strengthen the commission's case for breaking up telecom giants, whose control over the fixed line networks was accused of hindering (妨碍) competition.“Today's survey findings will feed into the ongoing public debate on the reform of the EU telecom rules, planned for summer this year，” said Reding.
