The uncared-for baby is crying alone. The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, wants to commit suicide.The marriage fails because of the husband’s obsessive (著迷的)behavior.

Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age? Not really.But they are the effects of a real social problem — Internet addiction (上癮), or, the Internet addiction disorder.There have been few long-term studies of this very 21st century illness.

But the increase of the obsession is obvious from the popularity of one game alone “Halo 2”. It is a first-person shooter developed by Budgie Studios for the Xbox video game console.By early 2005, 1 million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game.

China has about 94 million regular Internet users. Of these, a survey suggested, 4.4 million are teenagers so addicted to it that they give little attention to everything else.

Video gamers who have gone too far show symptoms (癥狀)similar to those of alcohol and drug users.“The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved with online games.I lost my senses of time, space, hunger, pain, everything,” explained Liu Pinyi, a college dropout(輟學(xué)者).She has treatment in Beijing for her addiction.

Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are thrust right into the centre of the action.This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can often suffer from in reality.

China strengthened (加強(qiáng)) controls on computer games again this week, with the Ministry of Culture banning (取締)nine online games.The ministry said it would also force game operators to technically clear away anything that could cause addiction.

2. The example of “Halo 2” is given to show _______.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40 分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Sri Lankan police made an appeal for the public to donate their pet dogs to help the fight against terrorism and crime on the war – torn island.
“Make your pet a hero-to detect terrorism and make our motherland Sri Lanka a country with a new facelift,” the police department said in a public notice carried by the state-run Daily News.
It said that donated dogs should be between six months and two years old and must have an impressive pedigree(血統(tǒng)). German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, Dalmatians, Cocker Spaniels and Doberman Pinschers are preferred.
Chief Inspector Lal Senavirathne said 25 people donated their pets, but only 18 dogs could be enlisted as the others did not meet the recruitment. He said the dogs would be trained to identify explosives, search for buried mines, sniff down drugs, deal with criminals and even perform tricks for the public. The dogs will retire after serving a maximum period of eight years and will be returned to their original owners.
“We already have 170 dogs deployed in 30 units, including the operational area or conflict areas in the island’s north and east”, Senavirathne told AFP by telephone from his headquarters in the central town of Kandy.
He said it was the first time they were making a public appeal because of pressure on the police kennels(養(yǎng)狗場), which usually import about half of their annual requirement.
“This time, we hope to enlist about 50 dogs. They will be given six months extensive training and another six months on the job,” he said. “Thereafter they will be officially called Police Dogs.”
Sri Lanka’s dog population is about 2.3 million while it has 19.5 million people, and about 20,000 to 30,000 people are annually treated for homeless dog bites.
56. What did the police mainly want people to do?
A. Offer their dogs to be Police Dogs.  B. Stop their dogs from biting people.
C. Take care not to lost their dogs.       D. Give their dogs good training.
57. To meet the requirements,         .
A. the dog’s age must be within a certain range   
B. the dogs must be ready for a lifelong job
C. the dogs must be of the same type           
D. the dogs must be experienced
58. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The number of dogs in the country is reasonable. 
B. Dogs will begin working immediately chosen.
C. Many dogs in the country are left uncared for.    
D. The country’s public order is very satisfying.
59. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Pet Dogs Want Training    B. The Shortage of Pet Dogs

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition-and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “Thank you” and she died.
I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for”,he said at the end . And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, be the good k*s#5^unews to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable… And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.
56. What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. The woman should have paid more attention to herself.
B. The man couldn’t blame anyone.
C. The author is religious.
D. The man died in the street.
57. The purpose of this passage is      .   
A. To appeal for more donation for the poor.
B. To call on the public to love each other.
C. To tell the readers the poor are wonderful.
D. To express how moved the author is to receive the prize.
58.       is NOT inferred from the passage?
A. The author has few supporters.
B. The author was somewhat surprised at what the man said.
C. The author is delighted to help others in trouble.
D. The author may agree to solve social problems in soft ways.
59. What’s the best title of this passage?

The professor’s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite __36__ and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I __37__ my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.

I was glad that I found him. In twenty minutes he put me right on all the __38__ that had puzzled me. I was on the __39__ of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening, I see”

“No, I’m not,” he said. “__40__, I love this garden, though. It’s __41__ I always wanted it to be. I never touch it __42__ all.”

“It could be made lovely. It seems a pity to let all this ground go to __43__. But perhaps you don’t _ 44__ that way?” said I.

“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child, and I had   45  of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby, you see. Unfortunately, he wasn’t   46  _ enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade (葉片) of grass was an enemy to be _ _47__ out by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”

“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”

“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the effect it had. It used to __48__ me. It appeared in my __49__ ——— a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was __50__ to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”

“And now it’s yours, you’re just letting it go to ...”

“__51__?” he said. “No, I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like  _52__ it grow in its own way. I make no __53__ on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has _ 54__ at last, and so have I.”

“But the path is over grown. It’s __55__ for you, isn’t it?”

“That’s part of my pleasure,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
