19.High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world.However,some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things.Here's an example of why this is happening.You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds.However,it won't taste as good as one you cook on the stove.And if you're in that much of a hurry,you probably won't take time to toast the bun.High-tech cooking saves time,but it doesn't make for better-tasting meals.
Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet.This has many advantages.For example,electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines.It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs.However,newspapers and magazines have some important advantages.They give more background and details.They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.
Other high-tech time savers have similar disadvantages.For example,most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places.But when you use the Internet or the phone,you won't always think carefully about what you are saying,and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate.Similarly,when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it,you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings.However,some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.

29.What do we know about high-tech cooking?D
A.It can't make much food.
B.It is popular with every family.
C.It makes food slower than low-tech cooking.
D.It can't make food as delicious as low-tech cooking.
30.What is an advantage of the news in newspapers compared to that on the Internet?C
A.Quick updates.B.Live news events.C.Detailed information.D.Convenient news sources.
31.Which of the following proverbs can summarize the text?C
A.Easy come,easy go.
B.Better late than never.
C.Every coin has two sides.

8.It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.
It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions(性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are,as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern,by observing our own behavior.We can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior?If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.
Moreover,we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character-we infer characters that weren't there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.
Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance(符合)with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice:"We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."

12.According to the passage,personalities and attitudes are commonly believed toA
A.determine one's behavior

A.A kind person will offer his seat to the old.
B.One buys latte out of true love of coffee.
C.One recycles plastics to protect the environment.
D.The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.
14.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?B
A.We fail to realize our inner dispositions.
B.We can be influenced by outside pressures.
C.Our behavior is the result of our true desires.
D.Our characters can shape our social relationships.
