The Internet brings us many advantages.

With the Internet, people can send and receive e-mails. On the Internet, people can skim over news. Using the Telnet, the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account. It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another.

But the Internet also brings us troubles.

Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological (心理的) health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.

Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely opposite to what they had expected. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.

The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health, researchers said. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” (虚拟的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations, and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.

“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology; it’s about how it is used,” said one of the researchers. “It really points to the need for considering social factors (因素) when you design new inventions.”

1.The writer mainly wants to tell us that _________.

A. the Internet can bring people many advantages

B. the Internet use may cause psychological problems

C. the Internet users are not satisfied with their lives

D. we shouldn’t use the Internet

2.Why are the researchers puzzling over the results?

A. Because the results were completely different from what they had thought.

B. Because the Net proved socially healthier than television.

C. Because the Internet users were all healthier.

D. Because the Internet users experienced less depression and loneliness.

3.What may be the reasons why the Internet use causes a fall in psychological health?

A. Internet use reduces time used for family and friends.

B. Virtual communication is less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations.

C. Exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.

D. All the above.

4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Users anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine.

B. The two-year study showed that using the Net seemed to cause the bad feelings.

C. People who are already feeling bad spend much more time on the Internet.

D. Relationships formed through the Internet are usually deep.

5.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

A. What matters is not the technology but how it is used.

B. This passage is not about the technology but about how it is used.

C. We should remember to learn about the technology.

D. We should remember to learn how to use computers.

Away with words

The telegraph, an online news service, has teamed up with Saga, which provides products and services only for the over 50s, to hold a new competition to find the best travel writer. Three lucky winners will win a master class with two top Telegraph travel writers before travelling the world with Saga on one of three holidays of great comfort and pleasure. To enter, all you need to do is tell us something mysterious and wonderful about the world of travel—a favorite memory, a humorous tale, an unforgettable occasion or a sight worth writing about.

What we are looking for

You must be able to read not only those signs that help you find your way around but the ones that tell you how the locals tick. You must, in the words of Paul Theroux, an American travel writer, “descibe exactly what you see and give it life with your imgaination”.

In this competition, you can do that in anything from 150 words to 500, but they should be your words, and fresh ones. We do expect you not to hide the truth or the facts about your experience. Beyond that, you can make the most of the freedom travel writing gives you.

You’ll be editor as well as writer, so ensure those eyes are equally fresh when you check and recheck what you’ve written. We will make allowances for the occasional mistake, such as you have “fell” into a river. But we won’t put up with mistakes every few lines.

Terms ＆ conditions

Competitors must be aged 50 years or older.

The judging process is divided into two stages: entries will be hosted on the website for one month. The top 20 articles will then be selected by public vote. The top three winners will be chosen by three judges.

The closing date for entries is August 15.

1.What does the prize for winners include?

A. a chance to learn from excellent writers.

B. the publication of their works.

C. three wonderful holidays.

D. an opportunity to work in the Telegraph.

2.Who will select the final winners?

A. the public. B. Paul Theroux

C. two top Telegraph travel writers D. three chosen judges.

3.What type of writing is this text ?

A. . A nessay B. A travel guide

C. A writing guide D. An announcement

【题目】With more people _____the traffic rules, our city is becoming better organized.

A. respect B. being respected
