many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is "networked individualism". This concept is
not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体)
and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks
included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it
was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. A recent research study by the Pew Internet and
American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced
this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that"s a good
thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too
much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The
Internet connects us with more real people than expected-helpful people who can give advice on careers,
medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that
the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.

B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
B. Friends.
C. Phones.
D. Parents.
B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
B. We"re Communicating on the Internet.
C. We"re Alone Together on the Internet.
D. We"re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.

核心考点
试题【阅读理解。 Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has inv】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new
Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago,
when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking
importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you
visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow
and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure
for cancer and this is what it said: "Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site." There
was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they
are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love
messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn"t interest me;
I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding
love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper
report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. "The complexity of a computer as
it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm," he said. "But, as technology advances,
computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop "consciousness."
In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own."
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would
like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
B. Computers are trying to take control of life.
C. Modern technology pushes old people away.
D. Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.
B. convenient
C. expensive
D. advanced
B. Curing illnesses.
C. Delivering messages.
D. Responding to emotions.
shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just
be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being
extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.
I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position
of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场
合), especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember,
knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an
extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an
enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who
speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.
What does it take, then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be?
They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take
the leap; and when they do, they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help
them on their way to the top in their chosen field.
B. A shy person may not be a calm one.
C. Quiet people are usually doubtful.
D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.
B. careful
C. eager
D. unwilling
B. talk less and show off less
C. learn more than extroverts
D. have a good attitude to learning
B. courage
C. quietness
D. knowledge

The good news is that bad moods can leave as suddenly as they have come. Exceptions to this rule of
course are cases where there are other problems such as depression or any other mental destruction.
How to improve your mood?
1 When you understand that you are not feeling happy but you are in depression or disappointment, then
you can use these simple techniques that will be able to change the negative situation and improve your mood.
2 . Exercises, gymnastics and sports help a lot to achieve a better emotional balance.
If you feel that you are in a bad mood, take a hot bath or sauna. 3 .
Watch a movie, read a book or talk to a friend.
4 . When you leave work or home, go to places that make you happy and calm. This helps to improve
your mood.
Make relations with happy, optimistic and pleasant people. 5 . Positive and optimistic feelings that create
positive thinking for the future will help you overcome your bad feelings and defeat your bad mood.
When the problem of bad moods, frustration and negative emotions beyond normal situations becomes
chronic (长期的), it is important to turn to a specialist for help.
B. Change your environment.
C. Use physical activity to fight against feelings of depression.
D. This can help you improve your mood significantly.
E. First you have to learn to recognize when you are in a bad mood.
F. There are ways to improve your mood.
G. Changes in feelings and mood can happen for various reasons.
7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.
By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other
guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was
about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and
David left hungry and angry.
Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads
and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30 pm means drinks only, go
out to dinner afterwards; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.
But this is not always the case. If asked to a students" party at 6:30 pm, it is unaccepted for guests to appear on time. Being the first to arrive-looking eager-is social death. When my mother is asked to a party at 6:30, she
likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between
the two, but because we still think we"re young, we"re probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.
The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home
hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element of surprise.
B. crazy
C. happy
D. encouraging
B. party-goers usually get hungry at parties
C. people should ask for food at parties
D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull
B. particularly thoughtful
C. friendly and polite
D. socially unacceptable
B. It"s wise to eat something before going to a party.
C. It"s important to follow social rules of party-going.
D. There"s no need to read invitations carefully.
what you can learn. For example, the IT world is constantly changing. Anything you learn today will probably
be useless in a few short years. The point is to learn to learn.
Blogging (写博客) works exactly the same way. And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal.
If you"re trying to make money , this is very clear. There"s always more money to be made. If you"re teaching
on a subject, you are constantly looking for new information to share. Even if you"re just sharing your words
with others for pleasure, you"re continuously improving your writing and storytelling so people don"t get bored
of you.
This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out. They forget this. They think they have an unlimited
amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain. They get comfortable. Then they start to run out of
juice. Sure, at times it seems that some bloggers just have it. They are experts in their fields and will simply
feed us with invaluable content forever. But this is not true. Pay attention. Even famous bloggers would run
out of content eventually without constant learning.
The point is easy to see. Don"t think you"ve succeeded. There is no summit. What happens when someone
thinks they"ve hit the summit? They quickly begin falling down the other side. Always be learning from your
experiences. See what posts work for your readers. Which get the best response? Which are completely
ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic, or get the most Absence clicks? Don"t settle or your blog will
close for ever eventually.
B. you"ve finished learning engineering
C. you"ve chosen to learn engineering
D. you can find work relating to engineering
B. have academic degrees
C. keep on writing
D. know everything before starting
B. the knowledge needed for blogging forever
C. the ability of constant learning
D. the comfort enjoyed from blogging
B. learn from others
C. update their knowledge
D. reach blogging summit
