题目内容

  Some time ago, a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn't know very well invited me to call on him. It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car. As I was already three quarters of an hour late, I parked my car quickly.

  At noon, just as I was leaving my friend's office it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere! Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged to someone else! Feeling quite tired now, I went off for lunch. Some time later, I left the restaurant and walked down the street. Turning the corner, I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in front of me, and there was no problem this time.

  To tell the truth, driving in a crowded city is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to walk than to drive.

  One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room.I went out there where he was   1   up and down restlessly(烦躁地).

  Tim wore a black raincoat   2   was buttoned all the way up to his neck(脖子).His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing(扭)his hands nervously(紧张地).He had   3   his father as a baby, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since.But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident.

  I looked at Tim.He was very   4   and in low spirits.He   5   to talk to me.The first two times we   6  , Tim only sat hunched up(蜷缩)in the chair without saying a word.As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder.He didn't draw back, but he didn't look at me either.

  "Come back next week, if you like, " I said.I   7   a bit.Then I said, "I know it hurts."

  He came, and I   8   we play chess.He nodded.After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon-in   9   and without making any eye contact.It's not easy for me to   10   in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.

  Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even got a(n)  11   to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my   12  .But why did he   13   look at me?

  "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his   14  ." I thought.

  One afternoon, Tim took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair.While he was setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more   15   and his motions more lively.

  Some months later, I sat staring at Tim's head,   16   he was bent over the chessboard.I was thinking about how little we knew about the healing(治疗)process   17  , he looked up at me."It's your   18  ," he said.

  After that day, Tim started talking.

  Maybe I gave Tim something, but I learned a lot from him.He showed me how one without any words can   19   out to another person.All it   20   is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature and an ear that listens.

D
  Build the highway and watch the town grow.At first a few shops appear and maybe a restaurant.Then a hotel opens. Eventually new house are built. A village is born.
  This is also how the virtual world has developed. Think of the Internet as the road carrying information between two computers.Think of the World Wide Web as the village. At first it is just a place on the virtual road where travelers meet. More travelers come bringing new kinds of information. New travelers come bringing new kinds of information.New villages are started.
  Every willage has a founder.Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the Word Wide Web.How did he get the idea? He tells us on his own web site. "One of the things computers were not able to do was store in formation from different sources. The dream behind the Web is of a common space in which we communicate by sharing information."
  In 1991 his programmmes were placed on to the Internet.Everyone was welcome to use them.
  Tim Berners-Lee could have followed the Microsoft route by forming a company to sell the programmes he invented. Or he could have joined another company. But in his view the Web is a language,not a pproduct. Charging a gee for using his programmes would have slowed the growth of the Web.And other companies would make similar products to compete. Instead of one World Wide Web there would be several smaller Webs. Each would use incompatible (不相容的) software. They Web is valuable because it uses a common computer language to reach people and share information. Competing webs would lose this value.Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you spoke a world of English.
  In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the World Wide Web Consortium,or W3C.More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone, no matter what their equipment or solftware,can work equally on the Web.
  "The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love. It helps us understand the humanity of people," he says.
  68.The writer's purpose in writing the first two paragraphs is to ______.
   A.give us some idea of the Internet
   B.give us some idea of the Web
   C.tell us how the idea of Web started
   D.tell us the idea of the Web is wonderful
  69.Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in order to _____
   A.place his programmers on the Internet
   B.stop smaller webs appearing
   C.help people to form a web site
   D.let people share all kinds of information
  70.According to the text,the disadvantage of competing webs is that they would ______.
   A.slow the development of the Web
   B.destroy the whole web system
   C.lose the value of information
   D.waste a lot of money

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be  1 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it  2  .

Research is preliminary, but several studies  3 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

In an editorial  4 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define  5 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.

While health officials have issued guidelines  6 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated  7 .

"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send  8 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the  9 start to shut down.

Even for people who  10  , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day —  11 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day,  12 in a single bout.

That wasn't  13 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting   14  a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 15 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.

"I'm sure there are some detrimental  16 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being  17 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be  18 dangerous."

Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat  19 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.

Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.

Experts said more research is needed to  20 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
