phone have brought to people"s lives may be taking a toll on
family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed
more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who
consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period
were more likely to report negative "spillover" between work
and home life-and,in turn, less satisfaction with their family
life.
Spillover essentially(本质上) means that the line between
work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade
home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home,for
instance-or family issues may start to take up work time. For
example,a child may call mom at work,telling her "microwave
exploded" explained Noelle Chesley,an assistant professor of
sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the
author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be
that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work
and home.
This may be especially true for working women,the study
found. Among men,consistent use of mobile phones seemed to
allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But
for women,the spillover tended to go in both directions being
"connected" meant that work cut into home time,and family
issues came into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful
exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to
control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she
said,could look at their policies on contacting employees after
hours to make sure their expectations are "reasonable". For
their part,employees could decide that cell phones go off during
family time, Chesley said.
A. Explaining.
B. Protecting.
C. Extending
D. Damaging.
B. To indicate how dependent the child is.
C. To indicate family issues affect work hours.
D. To show work time creeps into family life
B. less satisfied with their work
C. angry with their troublesome children
D. unwilling to get married at an early age
B. Separate work hours from family time.
C. Ignore coming calls during family time.
D. Encourage women to stay at home.
B. cell phones seem to be convenient to families

举一反三
plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for
a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the
drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing
tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his
morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are
still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your
happiness. It may not change what you think, but
communicating long enough with them will make you feel
depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in
the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only
feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can
hardly win others" pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit
stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.
When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you,you
feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with
negative people. This could be a co-worker,or a relative. In this
case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes
it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,
but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and
they won"t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being
realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day
can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which
makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short
to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as
possible.
B. offer an evidence
C. introduce a topic
D. describe a daily scene
B. By telling us the nature of life.
C. By changing our ways of thinking.
D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.
B. making other people unhappy
C. building up a positive attitude
D. other people"s respect for them
B. show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D. communicate with negative people as little as possible
A. Favorable.
B. Critical.
C. Indifferent.
D. Supportive.

world"s leading superpower, astronauts are busy walking on
Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK? Well,
this could be the reality in 13 years if some of the predictions of
100,000 Britons are correct.
[2] The survey asked the people of the UK how they
pictured the world in 2025.
[3] Nearly half believe Prince William will be crowned
King of England instead of Prince Charles although one in six
think the monarchy ( 君主制度) will have been abolished. A
quarter of those surveyed believe a new party will form the
government in 2025, although the same number of people think
that labour will be back in power.
[4] On the world stage 60 per cent think China is set to
become the world"s leading superpower, while a third think
Great Britain will be made up of four self-governed countries.
[5] Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and
bounds. Four percent are optimistic that there will be a
permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a
colony of humans to be living in space. More than half
questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their
favorite shows via TV sets hooked up to the Internet. Two-
thirds believe cosmetic surgery ( 整容手术) will have become
common and one in six think we will look after our own health
using computers rather than _ .
[6] But at least we can amuse ourselves with the daily
comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more
than half think that "celebrity" ( 明星) will be a registered
profession.

When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I
received communications only from family, friends, and
colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I
have an endless series of advertisements and other
correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail
to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make
spamming(发送垃圾邮件)a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam,
the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs
allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost
instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell
their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often
flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail
if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as
well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can
shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on
e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other.
Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications
networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate
effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and
requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These
computer problems raise production costs of companies, which
are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to
legislate(立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and
perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail
is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate
conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
B. ideas
C. connections
D. programs
B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
B.The advertiser.
C. The employee.
D.The consumer.
B. To educate.
C. To persuade.
D. To instruct.

in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact,
you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However,
believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows
fear of water, a very important thing to know. It"s wise to be afraid,
to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can
sometimes be very dangerous.
[2]To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should
learn ____: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl. I
feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the
others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,
without any training.
[3]In swimming, there are certain rules every swimmer should
follow :
(1) Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the
water, don"t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by
yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into
trouble.
(2) Don"t go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know
enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach Showing off
by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will
continue to swim and alive.
(3)Don"t smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good
lungs are part of Lt.
(4)Work at any activity that builds muscles.
