work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you
are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your
thumbs hurt from texting too much?
[2] If _____, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone
who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text
messages, which takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of
self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire
to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that
text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the
young.
[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance.
Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone
behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends
and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your
relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover
the pleasure of true communication.

free flow of information among the members. Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are
getting less flexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting from failures of communication.
One solution to this problem would, of course, be to structure large organizations into smaller units of a
size that can act as a group. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, larger organizations
can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 will never of itself be a complete solution to the
problems of the organization. Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build direct personal
relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be able to communicate with each other in a
casual way. Maintaining too formal a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works.
The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station. Whether by
chance or by design, it so happened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The whole
process worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they were moved into purpose-built
accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the work seemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less
satisfying.
It was some time before they work out what the problem was. It turn out that, when the architects were
designing the new building, they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunch
times was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, they accidentally destroyed the close
social networks that strengthened the whole organization. What had apparently been happening was that, as
people gathered informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information was casually being
exchanged.

is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example, some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took
that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!"
This guy"s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets,
and only on e was a winner. He"s really a big loser!
He didn"t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That"s called a
half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. Let"s say that during Governor Smith"s last term, her state lost one
million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对手) says,
"During Governor Smith"s term, the state lost one million jobs!" that"s true. However, and honest statement
would have been, "During Governor Smith"s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers (广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It"s against the law to make false statements so they
try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients
to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them
work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too of often. It"s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth
can lie as well.
B. Two hundred dollars.
C. Three hundred dollars.
D. Four hundred dollars.
B. make use of half-truths
C. not take anything at face value
D. not trust the Yucky Company
B. big advantage
C. large share
D. total saving
B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
C. Doctors like to act in advertisements.
D. Advertisements are based on facts.
in fact, what I call 1 and love.
I don"t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool. But he did 2 the water. Any kind of 3
ride seemed to give him pleasure. 4 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 5 the water, moving
through it, 6 it all around me. I was not a strong 7 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 8 .
But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father"s office and 9 those summer days with my father,
who 10 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit,
the 11 person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go 12 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he
let me 13 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 14 he worked
in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn"t be playing with his 15 . But
my father always 16 and said easily, "Oh, no, it"s 17 ." Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 18
an ice cream…
A poet once said, "We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is 19 ." And I think it is not only what we
"look at once, in childhood" that determines our memories, but 20 , in that childhood, look at us.
