A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism(网瘾), a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit.  They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has seriously affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log(写日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become hooked(着迷) on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.
They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.

答案

小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:A
解析

试题分析:文章介绍了二十世纪的一种社会病---网瘾。它影响到了各年龄段的人群,是十年前没有人会想到的,介绍了青少年和在校大学生的一些情况,他们过分沉溺于网络,不能专心的学习以至于荒废了学业。同时他们通过电脑发表一些日志,整天呆在聊天室聊天,每天都生活在虚拟的世界中,失去了和朋友交流的时间等等。
小题1: D大意理解题。文章第一自然说明了网瘾对不同年龄段的人都有影响,第二自然段之后讲述了网瘾对青少年和大学生的负面影响,沉溺于虚拟的世界,耽误学习,缺少和朋友现实生活的沟通等等,故答案应为B。
小题2:B理解判断题。A 网瘾对青少年的影响是最大的,文中只说明对每个年龄段都有影响,只是第三自然段以青少年和大学生为例,并未说明大小的问题,故答案A是错误的;C选项people are addicted to games on the Internet只是其中的一个方面,不是得出的结论,只代表其中的一部分人群,故C选项是错误的;D选项虚拟的世界比现实生活更生动,更有吸引力,与文章的主旨相悖,故是错误的。They become hooked(着迷) on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.他们着迷于电脑,逐渐地他们的社会和学校生活受到了影响,他们花费所有的时间上网不能专心于学习,影响了他们的成绩。They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes.他们在电脑前花费的时间比和他们的朋友在一起的时间更多,和他们朋友的关系也改变了,故B选项他们不能平衡现实和虚拟的生活是正确的。
小题3:A细节判断题。They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. 他们有一种在聊天室里说的语言,这就导致了社会文化的改变。故B是正确的;Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world. 十年前没有人会想到这种影响。这在将来也是一个问题,这种沉溺于网络的行为正在影响到了整个世界,故答案C是正确的;从文章中他们把大部分的时间都花在了上网上,少了和朋友的沟通可知沉溺于网络的人在现实生活中不活跃是正确的。而A选项中网瘾有助于网络的发展是与文章的主旨相悖的。故A是错误的。

举一反三
Writer Jean Stafford scoffed, “Happy  people don"t need to have fun,” but studies show that the absence of feeling bad isn’t enough to make you feel good;you must try hard to find sources of feeling good. Research shows that regularly having fun is a key factor in having a happy life;people who have fun are 20 times more likely to feel happy.
Recently, I noticed a pattern among activities that people find fun:Have a mission. There’s something about having a playful purpose,of trying to achieve something that makes an activity more fun.
For example a friend told that she loved visiting flea markets(旧货市场)and antique stores to look for old globes-not fancy ones,but cheap ones. She has a rule that she"ll never pay more than$20. She’s the kind of person who loves wandering around in those kinds of shops in any case,but having a mission makes it more fun, less aimless.
For that matter,having a collection of any sort is a very popular way to have a mission. You get satisfaction whenever you find another piece of blue sea glass on the beach or another out-of-print book by Charlotte Yonge in an old bookstore.
Taking photos is a common way to incorporate(使并入) a mission into traveling. Not only does this help keep memories vivid, it also makes you more attuned(协调一致)to your environment while traveling. For example,during my most recent visit to New Haven,I had a lot more fun wandering around once I set myself the mission of taking tourist photos of my own romance.
Why is this true? The First Splendid Truth holds that to be happier,you have to think about feeling good and feeling right,in an atmosphere of growth. The more I’ve thought about happiness,the more surprised I’ve been at the importance of the “atmosphere of growth.” I think this is a huge engine of happiness, and when you have a mission, you create an atmosphere of growth whenever you pursue that mission.
Have you found a way to have a mission? What is it and does it boost your happiness?
小题1:. According to the author, happy people____
A.don"t need to have fun
B.don"t have to be occupied with work
C.can have 20 times more fun than others
D.are always finding sources of feeling good
小题2:. What does the underlined phrase “Having a mission" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Have fun.                               B. Join in an activity.
C. Find something interesting to do.           D: Hunting for a job.
小题3: The author explains the key factor in having a happy life by____.
A.making a comparisonB.presenting numbers
C.stating common senseD.using examples
小题4:. What will be probably the best title?
A.How to live happily
B.Where to look for fun
C.The importance of feeling good
D.Having a mission can make you happier

Traditional fairytales are being abandoned by parents because they are too horrible for their young children, a study found.
Research revealed one in five parents dislike old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel and are in favor of more modern books. One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are about kidnapping and crimes. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it forgives stealing.
The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9pm on Watch, and sees six episodes based on traditional fairytales. The survey found a quarter of parents questioned wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they prompt too many awkward questions from their children.
Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to calm down children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.”
“As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five-year-old child with an over active imagination could take things too seriously. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will triumph over evil and there is always a moral to the story.”
The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.
However, half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.
小题1:Why don’t some parents want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids?
A.Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing
B.Rumplestiltskin is too difficult
C.Rumplestiltskin is too long
D.Rumplestiltskin may have bad influence on Children
小题2:We can learn from paragraph 3 that Grimm is _____.
A.a fairytales book
B.a movie for children
C.a play loved by children
D.a drama based on traditional fairytales
小题3:Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?
A.There is a moral to a classic fairytale.
B.Fairytales are dark.
C.Adults take fairytales too seriously.
D.Fairytales are not good for children"s sleep.
小题4:What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales?
A.OptimisticB.Not mentionedC.CasualD.Disapproving

If your mother wants to tell you something, she uses words. Birds cannot talk as we do. But some birds can make sounds to warn their young of danger.

If a young jackdaw is in a dangerous place, a jackdaw parent flies over him from behind. The parent bird flies low over the young bird’s back. The parent’s tail feathers move quickly from side to side, trying to express, “Follow me.” At the same time, the parent calls out, “Key-aw, key-aw. ”The parent mean, “Fly home with me.” The young bird then follows the older one home.

How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?
Mothers who feel their children don" t appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half the time, their children are lying to them. A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations. Still, mums should feel better than total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77 % of the time.
Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked 77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whether they lied at any time. DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies.
The students told an average of two lies a day. They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking. One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra money. Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were pretty. "They are everyday lies," says DePaulo.
DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to. College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time. In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings, rather than self-serving lies.
Romantic(浪漫的)partners lie somewhere between close friends and acquaintances. Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time. DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance.
Mothers can take heart from one other finding. They may have been lied to, but at least their children talked to them. The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little interaction with them.
小题1:What is the meaning of the underlined word "grievance" in Paragraph 1?
A.opinion. B.complaint.C.belief.D.difficulty.
小题2: According to the passage, college students felt closest to ______ .
A.mothersB.best friends
C.acquaintancesD.romantic partners
小题3:Female students lied to their roommates to          .
A.get money from themB.offer them the services
C.gain more securityD.make them happy
小题4:What is the purpose of this article?
A.To present a fact.B.To argue an idea.
C.To tell a story.D.To explain a theory.

It may be one of Britain’s most successful exports – Miss World. This 53-year-old event took place in China last week and attracted over 120 women worldwide with knockout looks in a mad struggle for the crown.
Traditional values have long kept the Chinese, especially women, from displaying beauty. But Chinese people have now changed their attitude toward beauty contest, although some men will still be shouting that the winner is no more beautiful than his wife or his former girl friend or even his mother in a sour tone. But such men are not shouting for the right reason. The question to be asked is : Why isn’t there a Mr. World Beauty Contest?
And a further question to be asked is: Does taking part in a beauty contest show a woman’s  courage, wisdom and liberation or rather the opposite – a forced choice and a revolting act made under conditions of long-term discrimination?
Organizers of such beauty contests claim that the contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But still no answer is given to why there isn’t a Mr. Beauty or a Mr. World Contest? Or at least, why isn’t that kind of contest popular? Why is it that only women’s “qualities” need to be recognized but not men’s?
Think about who is always standing beside a fancy car on show? Is it a boy or a girl? And this is how “qualities” are judged: if the girl looks good, there is little reason why the car beside her is not of high quality.
The beauty contests go on year after year, with winners enjoying fame which quickly disappears. While such events go on and on, what never changes is the routine practice that in every fancy car show, a girl stands beside a fancy car. What never changes is the need to hold a women’s conference every year to appeal for the promotion of respect for and improvement of women. What never changes is the fate of women as a class. So let’s put more time and resources into trying to change all this rather than holding beauty contests.
小题1:Miss World Beauty Contest in Britain has a history of ______.
A.120 yearsB.about half a century
C.100 yearsD.about half a year
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE to the passage?
A.Miss World Beauty Contest first began in China.
B.Women were not allowed to show their beauty in China.
C.120 women took part in Beauty Contest last week.

小题3: According to the writer,        .
A.Chinese women are not allowed to display beauty
B.the winner of Miss World is not as beautiful as his wife
C.some men are not shouting for the right person
D.people can accept a beauty contest in China now
小题4:From the passage we can know the writer thinks that _____________.
A.contestants’ qualities are more important than their physical appearance
B.a Mr. World Contest should be held instead of a Miss World Contest
C.a boy should stand by a fancy car
D.women’s social status is still low
小题5:The best title for this passage is ____________.
A.What about a Mr. World Contest?
