In a recent study, participants were asked to drink beer from either a straight-sided glass, or a curved “beer glass”. People took about almost twice as long to finish when drinking alcohol from the straight-sided glass, compared with the curved glass. There was no difference in drinking rates from the glasses when the drink was nonalcoholic.
People may drink their alcohol faster from curved glasses because it is more difficult to accurately judge the halfway point of these glasses, the researchers concluded. As a result, drinkers may be less able to measure how much they have consumed. “People often talk of ‘pacing themselves’ when drinking alcohol as a means of controlling levels of drunkenness, but I think the important point to take from our research is that the ability to pace effectively may be compromised when drinking from certain types of glasses,” said study researcher Angela Attwood of the University of Bristol’s School of Experimental Psychology in the United Kingdom.
In another experiment, participants completed a computer task in which they were shown pictures of two glasses containing varying volumes of liquid, and asked to judge whether each glass was more, or less, than half-full. The researchers found people made greater errors in judging the halfway point of the curved glass.
“The participants who showed the greatest error in these judgments also tended to show the greatest changes in their drinking rates,” the researchers said. “The speed at which people drink alcohol influences their level of intoxication (迷醉), and the number of drinks they consume on an occasion. Therefore, slowing down is likely to have a positive impact for the individual, and also at a population level.”
1.If a man finishes drinking alcohol from a curved glass in 30 minutes, from a same-volumed straight glass, he will spend _____.
A. about 15 minutes B. about 60 minutes
C. about 45 minutes D. about 25 minutes
2.According to the passage, the experiment shows that _____.
A. curved glasses mislead people’s judgment
B. people differ greatly when judging the same glass
C. people do computer tasks poorly after drinking
D. the type of liquid influences people’s thinking
3.What advice do the researchers give drinkers?
A. Use a curved “beer glass”.
B. Drink at a slower pace.
C. Drink with positive people.
D. Try different types of alcohol.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Shape may influence your drinking
B. Curved glass is out of date
C. Drink less for your health
D. Drinkers favor a different type of glass

An energy watchdog is alarmed about the threat to the environment from the increasing electricity needs of gadgets（小裝置）like MP3 players, mobile phones and flat screen TVs.
In a report today, the Paris-based International Energy Agency says new electronic gadgets will be three times their energy consumption by 2030 to 1,700 terawatt hours（千瓦時）, which is equal to today's home electricity consumption of the United States and Japan combined.
The world would have to build around 200 new nuclear power plants just to power all the TVs, iPods, PCs and other home electronics expected to be plugged in by 2030,when the global electric bill to power them will rise to $200 billion a year, the agency said.
“Consumer electronics is the fastest growing area and the area with the least amount of policies in place to control energy efficiency, ” said Paul Waide, a senior policy analyst at the agency.
Electronic gadgets already account for about 15 percent of household electric consumption, a share that is rising rapidly as the number of these gadgets multiplies. Last year, the world spent $80 billion on electricity to power all these household electronics, the energy agency said.
“ Most of the increase in consumer electronics will be in developing countries, where economic growth is the fastest and ownership rates of gadgets are the lowest , ”Waide said.
“This will jeopardize efforts to increase energy security and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.” the agency said. Existing technologies could cut down gadgets’energy consumption by more than 30 percent at no cost or by more than 50 percent at a small cost, the agency estimates, meaning total greenhouse gas emissions（排放） from households’electronic gadgets could be held stable（穩(wěn)定的） at around 500 million tons of CO2 per year.
1. How many terawatt hours did the energy consumption of new electronic gadgets reach?
A. Nearly l, 700. B. Nearly 600.
C. About 200. D. About 60.
2. What is the condition in the area of consumer electronics?
A. There are a lot of rules to control the market.
B. There are few policies to control energy efficiency.
C. There are few choices for the customers.
D. There are lots of regulations to protect consumers' rights.
3. The underlined word “jeopardize” in the last paragraph probably means “________ ”.
A. harm B. inspire
C. strengthen D. encourage
4. We can know from the last paragraph that existing technologies ___________.
A. are able to control gadgets’energy consumption
B. could do nothing about gadgets’ energy consumption
C. could only cut down gadgets’ energy consumption by 30 percent
D. cut down gadgets’energy consumption at great cost
