After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a tele-commuter. I submit（提交） articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England; so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.
If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard(暴風(fēng)雪) of ’96 on TV.
But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged（融合） with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node（波節(jié)） on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance（逃避），a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I’m jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline”, “Frontline” , “Nightline,” CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.

  1. 1.

    Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes______.

    1. A.
      unreal
    2. B.
      unbearable
    3. C.
      misleading
    4. D.
      not understandable
  2. 2.

    The passage implies that the author and her boyfriend live in______.

    1. A.
      the same city
    2. B.
      the same country
    3. C.
      different countries
    4. D.
      different cities in England
  3. 3.

    What does the last paragraph mean?

    1. A.
      Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.
    2. B.
      Sometimes TV programs give her comfort and even makes her forget her work.
    3. C.
      She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.
    4. D.
      She turns on TV now and then in order to get some valuable information.
  4. 4.

    What is the author’s attitude to the computer?

    1. A.
      At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it.
    2. B.
      She likes it because it is very convenient.
    3. C.
      She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
    4. D.
      She likes it because it provides an imaginary world.
  5. 5.

    The underlined phrase “coming back out of the cave” probably means______.

    1. A.
      going back to the dreaming world
    2. B.
      coming back home from the outside world
    3. C.
      bringing back direct human contact
    4. D.
      getting away from living a strange life

If you are human, you can’t help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit （坑）. All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.

Moods, say the experts, are feelings that tend to become fixed, influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.
Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology（藥理學(xué)）offers a lot of tranquilizers（鎮(zhèn)靜劑）What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to set you loose from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug-store but try the following methods.
Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep up the exercise, you’d be in high spirits, ” says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.
Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favourably to drugs as a mood raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate, increase blood circulation and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do some of the activities for at least 20 minutes a session three to five times a week.

  1. 1.

    What is the main subject discussed in the passage?

    1. A.
      How to beat a bad mood.
    2. B.
      How to talk bad moods out.
    3. C.
      How to do physical exercises.
    4. D.
      How to join in aerobic exercises.
  2. 2.

    According to the passage, all of the statements are true EXCEPT that       

    1. A.
      climbing is an efficient cure for a bad mood
    2. B.
      moods can have a bad effect on people’s health
    3. C.
      aerobic exercise can help people get rid of bad moods
    4. D.
      pharmacology has provided people with many tranquilizers
  3. 3.

    “Feel out of sorts” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “       ”

    1. A.
      put things in order
    2. B.
      are in high spirits
    3. C.
      are in a bad mood
    4. D.
      search for tranquilizers
  4. 4.

    It can be inferred from the passage that        

    1. A.
      some drugs are more effective than physical exercises
    2. B.
      a person does not need aerobic exercise if he is in a good mood
    3. C.
      the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself
    4. D.
      when in a bad mood, one may not work very efficiently

Two-legged, humanoid (類人的) robots such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say. 
But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.
“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”
While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs.
Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu L       aboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡邏) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共場(chǎng)所), are working on this.
Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its belly to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.
In guide mode, it will detect a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”
Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (圖標(biāo)) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.
The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.
Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.
“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.

  1. 1.

    The advantage of Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO is that _________.

    1. A.
      it can do any housework for us       
    2. B.
      it can talk with patients or old people
    3. C.
      it can climb up stairs as humans      
    4. D.
      it can walk smoothly with its wheels
  2. 2.

    According to Shimoyama, robots _________.

    1. A.
      can be made to do everything humans do 
    2. B.
      will be made as smart as humans in the future
    3. C.
      will remain as stupid as before
    4. D.
      can never compete with humans in intelligence
  3. 3.

    Most important of all, a robot should be made _________ at present.

    1. A.
      safe and elegant                          
    2. B.
      safe and functional
    3. C.
      elegant and cheap                         
    4. D.
      sensitive and cheap
  4. 4.

    Which of the following statements about “Enon” is NOT true?

    1. A.
      It can be used as a guide in hospitals. 
    2. B.
      It can help shoppers carry goods selected.
    3. C.
      It can be used to welcome guests in restaurants.
    4. D.
      It can be used to stop thieves in malls.
  5. 5.

    Enon is mainly designed to help _________.

    1. A.
      old people          
    2. B.
      mall owners       
    3. C.
      tourists or newcomers  
    4. D.
      shoppers
