题目内容

A new study suggests that the roundtheclock availability that cell phones have brought to people's lives may take a toll on family life. 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 jobrelated calls at home，for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example，a child may call mum at work，telling her “microwave exploded”，explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even 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.
【小题1】What does the underlined phrase “take a toll on” probably mean in Paragraph 1?

A．Explaining.

B．Founding.

C．Extending

D．Damaging.

【小题2】According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones?

A．Separate work hours from family time.

B．Refuse to use cell phones.

C．Ignore coming calls during family time.

D．Encourage women to stay at home.

【小题3】We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．cell phones affect men as much as women

B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families

C．cell phones make the line between work and home unclear

D．we can do nothing to solve the problem

【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．How to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones.

B．How work life invades home life.

C．Consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work.

D．Cell phones cause negative “spillover” between work life and home life.

　　Tattoos(纹身)and body piercings(穿洞)have moved up on the trend list in recent years．Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink．Like all other subjects, we'll surely be faced with such situation．To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let's sit down and hear what they say．

　　Kerstin Otto from Washington：

　　The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn't be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button．

　　Erin from Indiana：

　　I think body piercing is cool．In most situations, you don't really have to worry about it getting torn out．I go to Noblesville High School．I am a sophomore(that is the l0th grade)．Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent．I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I'll look bad．But that is my personal opinion．I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference．

　　Tiara from Indiana：

　　I personally think body piercing is sickening．If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them．I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong．There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing．Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous．I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button．

　　Lee from Illinois：

　　Hi!I live in Illinois．I am 23．I have 12 tattoos and three piercings．I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector．You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work．People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg．Most of them don't know what it is．They just think the work itself is great．

　　Subotai from California：

　　I'm not prohibitive(禁止)of self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder．In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion．A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin．It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow's．

　　Nagib from Washington：

　　I wanted an earring．My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing．I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn't let me．Now I'm glad I didn't get it．I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn't have looked good with it．

　　Jackson from Ohio：

　　I don't think it's wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything －I think that's ridiculous．People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body－I don't think that's necessary．When I see naked chicks on guys, I think．“You have no respect for women．”

　　Brittney from New York：

　　You don't want to do stuff to your body．You don t need to do that because you were made perfect．You don't need to add piercings．If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay．If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it．But otherwise, don't mess with what you got．Maybe you should try something more substantial(充实的)to find beauty in yourself．
