Facebook (臉譜網(wǎng)) friends cannot replace the real thing, say psychologists(心理學(xué)家).

People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via webcam (web camera) than when they use social networking sites, a study has found.

Dr. Roberts, a famous lecture at the University of Chester, said such websites don't appear to help make true friendships. Based on two questionnaires(調(diào)查表), he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.

Dr. Roberts, whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate, said, "The bottom lime conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of communication. They depend on quality, and even Skype(一種網(wǎng)絡(luò)即時(shí)語音溝通工具) is better at increasing the quality of our communication than time on Facebook." Even talking on the phone or texting does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile, the research says. The studies suggest quality, not quantity, of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life.

People find the most satisfying relationships come from a small number of close friends, with an outer "ring" of 10 significant others. With these people, it doesn't matter what type of social media you use for communication. But people who want to "contact the world at large" using Facebook can be disappointed because they spread themselves too thinly, claim researchers.

In a third study, Dr. Roberts asked people to communicate with friends face to face or via Skype and keep a 14-day diary. This was compared with communicating via phone, text messages or social networking sites. People communicating face to face on Skype were 50% more likely to laugh, and they rated themselves as significantly happier.

1. Dr. Roberts's finding that there was no connection between Facebook use and people with many friends was .

A. based on questionnairesB. based on conversations

C. through instant messagesD. through social media

2. What is the idea of the fourth paragraph?

A. Most people contact each other online.

B. Keeping a friend for life is not easy.

C. The quality of communication is important.

D. Skype is better at understanding us than Facebook.

3. What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably suggest?

A. They are too excited to express themselves.

B. They limit their social circle to a small range.

C. They spread their information at a low speed.

D. They lack information to introduce themselves.

4. What is Dr. Roberts's attitude towards the use of Facebook?

A. Positive.B. Casual.C. Responsible.D. Unsupportive.

 

1.A

2.C

3.B

4.D

【解析】本文中作者講述了一個(gè)新的研究成果，發(fā)現(xiàn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的facebook這樣的網(wǎng)站對于我們與別人的交流并沒有太大的作用，在交流中真正重要的是交流的質(zhì)量而不是交流的數(shù)量。

1. A

【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段第2句Based on two questionnaires(調(diào)查表), he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.可知他的研究是以兩份調(diào)查表為基礎(chǔ)的，他發(fā)現(xiàn)這兩者之間沒有聯(lián)系。故A正確。

2.2】 C

【試題解析】段落大意題。根據(jù)本段最后一句The studies suggest quality, not quantity, of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life.可知這個(gè)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)交流的質(zhì)量而不是數(shù)量是維持友誼最重要的東西。故C項(xiàng)正確。

3.3】 B

【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)本句But people who want to "contact the world at large" using Facebook can be disappointed because they spread themselves too thinly,那些想多和別人聯(lián)系的人使用了Facebook，結(jié)果很失望，是因?yàn)樗麄冊谑褂肍acebook的時(shí)候，反而限制了自己與別人交流的范圍。劃線的句子與前面的"contact the world at large"的意思是相反的。故B正確。

4.4】 D

【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段Dr. Roberts, a famous lecture at the University of Chester, said such websites don't appear to help make true friendships.可知他認(rèn)為像Facebook這樣的網(wǎng)站并不能幫助我們?nèi)〉谜嬲挠颜x。說明Dr. Roberts對這樣的網(wǎng)站是不支持的。故D正確。

【長難句解析】

Dr. Roberts, whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate, said……

【翻譯】Dr. Roberts他的成果將會(huì)在英國社會(huì)心理學(xué)會(huì)議上展示，他說….

I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated(主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It is my fault.”

When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?

There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense——there is a reason for everything that happens.   

The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.

1. What is true about the two deceased elderly women?

   A. They died from accidents.       

B. They both died of old age.    

   C. They died due to lack of care by family members.

D. They weren’t accustomed to the change in life.

2. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because______.

   A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrow

   B. they don’t know that natural course of events

C. they believe that it is their fault  

   D. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction

3.People have believed since early childhood that.

A.everybody is at their command

B.life and death is an unsolved mystery

C.every story should have a happy ending

D.their wishes are the cause of everything that happens

4. What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Two sons blamed themselves for their mother's death.

B.Things don't always go well as we expect.

C.Two factors account for guilty sense.

D. Baby's wishes lead everything to happen.

It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on by way of the group’s online service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”

The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia (安樂死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start falling.

Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed (診斷) as Terminally Ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.

1. Which of the following has the similar meaning to “But the tide is unlikely to turn back.”?

A. What happened in Australia can change world history.

B. It is impossible to pass the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law.

C. Doctors are allowed by law to take the lives of the ill patients.

D. That the Law has been passed probably can’t be changed.

2. From the second paragraph we learn that __________.

A. the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries

B. physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia

C. changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hurry passage of the law

D. it takes time to realize the significance of the law’s passage

3.By saying “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling”, the author means __________.

A. observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia

B. similar bills are likely to be passed in the U.S., Canada and other countries

C. observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes

D. the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop

4. We can learn from the passage that Lloyd Nickson __________.

A. will face his death with calm when dying

B. experiences a lot the suffering of a lung cancer

C. has an intense fear of terrible suffering

D. undergoes a cooling off period of seven days

5. The author’s attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of __________.

A. opposition B. doubtC. approvalD. anxiety

Say you're in the wine store and you want to buy something new. You have nothing to go by outside of the label. Will the label tell you anything you should know? Here's some general advice:

Vintage. This is the first thing we look for ourselves. You don't need to care whether 2001 or 2002 was a better year in the Sierra Foothills. The vast majority of wines at the store are meant to be drunk right away, so you make sure the wine isn't too old, particularly if you're buying it expecting lively, fresh fruitiness. We often see five-year-old Pinot Grigio and two-year-old Beaujolais Nouveau at stores, for example, so as soon as we see that kind of age on wines like those, we know we can skip them and move on(and possibly not shop there again).

Alcohol content. Too many wines have too much alcohol, which leaves them unbalanced. Sure, there are some classic wines with high alcohol levels, but many of today's regular table wines--Merlot, Chardonnay--have levels at 15% or above. Some of those might be terrific, but if we had nothing else to go on, we'd look for alcohol content at about 14% and below.

The more specific the better. A wine that says it's from Napa is probably a better bet than a wine that simply says it's from California. Unfortunately, this will also probably be reflected in the price, so this might not tell you much about value, If you care enough to know a few of famous vineyards for producing high-quality grapes, they might help you make an educated guess about quality.

Old vines. Theoretically, older vines produce fewer, but more flavorful grapes, but the problem is that no one has defined what an "old vine" is, so anyone can put this on the label. Just ignore it.

A phone number. You'd be surprised many small-production wines these days include a phone number on the back and an invitation to call the winerY, which is a sign of a highly personal winerY. We have called those numbers many times over the years and it's amazing how often the winemaker or winerY owner answers the phone.

1. The underlined word "Vintage" in the second paragraph probably means "________ " .

A. the place where the wine was made B. the year when the wine was made

C. the freshness of the wine D. the label of the wine

2.It's better to buy

A. five-year-old Pinot Grigio B. the wine labeled from older vines

C. the wine from famous vineyards D. two-year-old Beaujolais Nouveau

3. From the passage we Can infer that

A. the wine with high alcohol levels is definitely terrific

B. most wines at the store are intended to be drunk right away

C. older vines have lower production

D. some winemakers keep the promise all the time

4. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. Geography. B. Price C. Quality. D. Grapes.

The Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, is the best place in Europe for discovering dinosaur bones. Dinosaur Farm Museum was established in 1993. Since then, the museum has introduced the study of old bones to many more people.

What we offer

Visitors can enjoy our displays, or watch us cleaning dinosaur bones and other fossils found on the island’s beaches.

The museum has a variety of different fossils, many of them never displayed to the public before. As more are discovered all the time, you can be sure of seeing something new each time you visit.

We have a free Fossil Identification Service, so you can bring in any fossils you have and find out what they are. In addition, we have a reasonably-priced Museum Shop, where you can buy a souvenir of your visit. You could also bring a picnic and relax in our special picnic area.

Activities

Fossil hunts are organized from the museum and run all year round. Groups of up to 25 are guided on a local beach where they can search for fossils. All these hunts are fully licensed and insured, and guides can help to identify any fossils found and point out things of interest.

Due to the popularity of these hunts, all trips must be booked by a personal visit to Dinosaur Farm Museum.

Did you know…?

The BBC programme “Live from Dinosaur Island” was filmed along the coast here, and Dinosaur Farm Museum was the base for the television crew.
