But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often s

25、ee nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless ef

26、forts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can

27、they eat at the family table.Multitasking also affects young peoples performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modem gadgets(器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response(反应). However, the response from the worlds

28、of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the j

29、ob market need to be taught all over again, as modem gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.56.

32、e orderC. comparing opinions from different fieldsD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effectsBAlmost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor c

33、ountries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.The endless choice gives b

34、irth to anxiety in peoples lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not reall

35、y wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the availability of t

36、he goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is com

37、puters, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.60. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?A. The exercise of rights is a luxury. B. T

38、he practice of choice is difficult.C. The right of choice is given but at a price.D. Choice and right exist at the same time.61. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety? A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product. B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by busin

39、ess persuasion. C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items. D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.62.

40、t design flood the market C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry D. everyday goods need to be replaced often63. What is this passage mainly about? A. The variety of choices in modem society. B. The opinions on peoples fight in different countries C. The problems about the availability of e

41、veryday goods. D. The helplessness in purchasing decisionsCPhotographs are everywhere. They decorate the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also brin

42、g things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories. Reporting the news through photos is called photojoumalism. At times photojoumalists tell their stories through a single picture. At ot

43、her times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change. Jacob Riis was among the first photojoumalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived

44、. Riis believed that poverty(贫穷) caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hines pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may have to be ta

45、ken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojoumalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It ca

46、n record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.As historical and artistic documents(文献), photos can become more important over time. Today photojoumalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(发表) them in books and on the Internet.64. The und

The text is mainly aboutA. telling the story through pictures B. decorating the walls of homes C. publish

49、ing historical papers D. expressing feeling through picturesDOne morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man, it was-a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.Only after a weeks leave - during whic

50、h he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife or a beach - was Rudenstine able to return to work.In our modem life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: I am so busy.We say this to one another as if our fi

51、reless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax - this has become the model of a successf

52、ul life.Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week - for followers of some religions -

53、for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside

54、, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.Rest is a spiritual and biological need, however; in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest.

59、ast. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or

60、stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and
