I have seen families on the street.But if they live，sleep，talk，and eat together，they are a family，even if they are poorly off.You don't need a roof to make a home.The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them.The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby.The parents work.The children do wrong.They don't talk and eat together every day.They rarely see each other.The truly homeless people are those with babysitters，caretakers，gardeners and maids.Parents are unaware，too busy making money outside the home that they don't live in.This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless.Who is to be pitied? Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home.If the computer is on all the time，the house turns into an office，even if everyone is at home.Many homes these days are just offices.Human communication has stopped.The computer eats up the time that one should be giving to others within the home.Using the computer moderately gives us time for gentleness，play and communication，not with a screen，but with a human being. 【语篇解读】 本文论述了如何才能使我们的房子成为家这个命题。 16．Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

C Kirk Watson, then Austin‟s mayor, remembers it this way: “I was at the gym working out and going back and forth between different machines, doing different things. I was on a treadmill(踏车), my head down and a guy on another treadmill cried out, „Mayor, is that the World Trade Center?‟ ” Moments later, Watson was in another part of the gym, away from televisions. “Another guy said another one hit.” he recalled. Watson, now a state senator, recalls every detail, every emotion of Sept. 11, 2001. “I will never forget the feeling of watching the towers fall,” he said, recalling going into mayor mode when it became clear our nation was under attack. You, too, remember the details, the emotions of 9/11. Five weeks from today, on the 10th anniversary of that awful day, we will provide a forum for Central Texans to share their memories. At times, the memories are so vivid, it seems impossible it was so long ago. And there are times the memories are so horrific that it can be hard to comprehend that such a thing actually happened. For many of us, the 9/11 attacks on our homeland are the equivalent(等同) of what the attack on Pearl Harbor was for Americans on Dec. 7, 1941. The events were comparable, but the outcome was different. Does it seem to you America was in a better place 10 years after Pearl Harbor than we are 10 years after 9/11? We remain at war on two fronts. Our nation‟s economy is shrinking. Too many Americans are unemployed. We face challenges so deep that some Americans — inheritors(继承人) of a national spirit long marked by eternal optimism about a boundless future — are thinking about whether our best days are behind us. “Sept. 11, 2001 was our day that will live in evil,” Watson said. “We need to make sure our children and grandchildren will say we reacted to our day that lived in evil at least as well as that generation that came before us reacted to Pearl Harbor.” Have we done that? We‟d like to share your thoughts in a project planned for these pages on Sunday, Sept. 11. Are your memories consumed by the horror of the sights of that day? And, like Watson, do the emotions of the day still burn within you?
