阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词
数要求)。
[1] When you get in your car,you reach for it. When you"re at work, you take a break to
have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
[2] Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it"s the third most addictive thing in modern life: .
And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to control their longing to bug it
more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
[3] The costs are becoming more and more evident,and I don"t mean just the monthly bill.
Dr. Chris Knippers,a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California,reports that the
overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions:
a barrier to one-on-one personal contact,and an escape from reality.
[4] Sounds extreme,but we"ve all witnessed the evidence:The person at a restaurant who talks on
the phone through an entire meal,ignoring his kids around the table；the woman who talks on the
phone in the car, ignoring her husband；the teen who texts messages all the way home from school,
avoiding contact with kids all around him.
[5] Jim Williams,an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction
is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke
University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their
most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones,e-mail and instant messaging,
in other words,Williams says studies show that we don"t have as many friends as our parents."Just as
more information has led to less wisdom,more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have
produced fewer friends."he says.
2. Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
It is getting increasingly apparent to me that cell phone users have more to sacrifice besides
the regular payment for the calls and messages.
3. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4? (no more than 5 words)
4. What do experts say about cell-phone addiction?
5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.

The Winner"s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the
answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in
America. 1
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. 2 You"re
saying, "You have more control over my life than I do."
Live life "on purpose"
Almost all successful people live life "on purpose"- they are doing what they believe they
should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you"ll try your best to do your
job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what
you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. 3 A good plan
is like a map to you. Without this "map", you may waste your time, money and also your
energy; while with the "map" you"ll enjoy the "trip" and get what you want in the shortest
possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard - even harder than you
have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won"t get anything valuable.
Never give up
4 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is
worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death
of hope.

Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his
book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone
call to one of his best friends. "I"ve got a perfect idea," he said, "I"ll put it down later and show
it to you." But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect
ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all.
B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.
C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance
of hard work.
D. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making
success, you"re giving away your own power.
E. Someone else"s opinion of you doesn"t have to become your reality.
F. Don"t delay
G. Here are some keys to success that they give.
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a "surgeon"? As my year as chief
resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 1 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 2 .When you can say to yourself, "There is no surgical patient I cannot
treat competently, treat just 3 or better than any other surgeon"- then, and not until then, you are 4 a
surgeon. I was 5 that point.
6 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the
year I had 7 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 8 .Often, after
I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 9 , I"d have trouble getting back to sleep. I"d 10 all
the facts of the case and, often, wonder 11 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three
in the 12 , after lying awake for an hour, I"d get out of 13 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the
patient myself. It was the only 14 I could find the 15 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 16 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn"t be
sure of my decision, but I had learned to 17 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with
my knowledge and experience, any decision I"d made was bound to be a 18 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is - 19 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to
encourage him in trying moments when he"s bothered by the 20 and uncertainties that are part of the
practice of medicine. He has to feel that he"s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the
world. Call it conceit -call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.

| WHAT happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers. Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting (骗过) his high school"s monitoring system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life. While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears. When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many "security measures" in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地).

| What makes a house a home? Not size, of course. I"ve been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it"s readily apparent no one lives there. Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess" bed -a home that had more warmth than any house I"ve been in since. Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, " This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar." Whether you"re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he"s talking about. We"ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years. The loose windows that make noise in the wind. The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log. The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by. It"s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines. While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you"re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, "Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith." Happy homecoming. | |||
