It has become the modern substitute of glancing at your watch—the furtive(偷偷的)look at a phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook.Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong urge to glance at our handset.Using your mobile,they say,is easily affected by other people.

A University of Michigan team say people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their messages or emails if they’re with someone who has just done the same.It also found that females were more likely to use their mobile than men because it was more ‘consistent’ with the daily lives of women.

The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around campus,observing pairs of students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recorded their cellphone use at 1 0-second intervals.

“What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said.“Every person we observed used his/her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time.You may see others checking their incoming messages and be encouraged to check your own.’’

Overall,the students used their cellphones in an average of 24 percent,the researchers found.But they were significantly more likely to use their phones(39.5 percent)when their companion had just done so in the previous 10-second interval than without the social clue,the researchers said,adding that this behavior was often repeated.

Cell phones create an alternative way for one’s attention and may both promote and interrupt ongoing social activities,the researchers wrote.

Kruger believes this pattern could be related to the effects of social acceptance and rejection.If one person in a pair engages in another conversation through their phone,his or her companion may feel rejected.That companion then might be forced to connect with others from outside so as not to feel left out.

1.People’s strong desire to check their messages partly results from ___________.

3.How might one feel when his companion is busy checking messages?

A.Relaxed. B.Ashamed.

C.Surprised.D.Ignored.

4. The underlined part“this behavior” in Paragraph 5 refers to _______________.

A.using the cellphones B.receiving social clues

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.Social Acceptance And Rejection

Another expression is“hold your tongue.”It means to be still and not talk.“Hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend.But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.

We’re always looking for well-written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows, websites, video games and other products. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn’t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.

Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.

Book Reviews

Discuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.

Movie Reviews

Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn’t? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.

Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending!

College Reviews

Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.

cannot refer to any previous review

must express your own views and opinions

must provide some information about the author

needn’t give any examples to support your views

Einstein's connection with the politics of the nuclear bomb is well known: He signed the letter to President Franklin Roosevelt that persuaded the United States to take the idea seriously, and he engaged in postwar efforts to prevent nuclear war. But these were not just the isolated actions of a scientist dragged into the world of politics. Einstein's life was, in fact, "divided between politics and equations(方程式)."

Sickened by what he saw as the waste of human lives during the First World War, he became involved in antiwar demonstrations. His support of civil disobedience did little to endear him to his colleagues. Then, following the war, he directed his efforts toward reconciliation(调停) and improving international relations. And soon his politics were making it difficult for him to visit the United States, even to give lectures.

Einstein's second great cause was Zionism(犹太复国主义). Although he was Jewish, Einstein rejected the idea of God. However, a growing awareness of anti-Semitism(反犹太主义), both before and during the War, led him gradually to identify with the Jewish community, and later to become an outspoken supporter of Zionism.

His theories came under attack. One man was accused of motivating others to murder Einstein and fined a mere six dollars. When a book was published entitled 100 Authors Against Einstein, he retorted, "If I were wrong, then one would have been enough!" When Hitler came to power, Einstein then in America declared he would not return to Germany. While Nazi attacked his house and confiscated his bank account, a Berlin newspaper displayed the headline "Good News from Einstein--He's Not Coming Back."

Fearing that German scientists would build a nuclear bomb, Einstein proposed that the United States should develop its own. But he was publicly warning of the dangers of nuclear war and proposing international control of nuclear weaponry. Throughout his life, Einstein's efforts toward peace probably achieved little and won him few friends. His support of the Zionist cause, however, was recognized in 1952, when he was offered the presidency of Israel. He declined, saying he was too naive in politics. But perhaps his real reason was different:" Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity."

1.The reason why Einstein was against the war was that __

A. he tried to get involved in politics B. the nuclear bomb could be built by German scientists

C. many people died during the war in vain D. President Franklin persuaded him to do so

2. We can learn from the passage that Einstein __

A. believed in God B. was proud of being Jewish

C. suggested that nuclear weaponry should be banned D. made great achievements in peace

3. The examples in paragraph 4 are used to prove __

A. many people in support of Zionism hated Einstein

B. the reason why Einstein would not return to Israel

C. Einstein was in danger of being killed

D. Einstein didn't enjoy his popularity in the field Of politics

4.What is the structure of the passage?
