题目内容

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.

All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.

“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion(情绪). Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

1.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.

A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently

B. Handwriting can impress people well and build up one’s self-confidence.

C. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.

D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.

3.The underlined expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means __________.

A. getting bored with B. getting curious about

C. becoming crazy about D. getting dependent on

4.We can infer from the passage that __________.

A. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day

B. more and more students will give up writing on a computer

It was 4 o’ clock in the morning when I received the phone call.

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a (n) and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was .

The doctor described the , which caused the burns. Our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames my son’s shirt tail(下摆) and shot from his waist to well over his head.

, one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped(抓住) my son, and him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).

After he from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking(缩水) and wrinkling(起皱). So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to his and returned to school with his head held high —— glad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not , so he made the to give up any plastic surgery.

We all have “scars” that we believe people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

When I walk through the streets, I pass strange rooms where people are doing strange things. Some are biking madly. Others are holding metal bars to keep them from dropping down. Still others are jumping around while someone is shouting at them. It looks like something out of Dante’s Inferno (但丁《神曲》中的《地狱篇》). But what is the most amazing is that people pay for these sufferings!

The strange rooms are gyms(健身房). It is reported that some 41 million Americans are gym members. 12% of the memberships are born in January, as they are determined to lose the holiday fat. Maybe it is good to exercise in the gym. However, should they know they can keep in good shape, spending little money, would they still agree with its necessity(必要性)?

At the age of 23, I joined a gym. I lifted weights twice a week in Muscle’s Gym. I paid as little as $200 per year. You can’t find such gyms in every city any more. Too often, the gym is fancy (花哨的) with lots of equipment. If you ask how much it costs to join it, the person at the front desk often won’t tell you straight. Instead, he’ll let you meet with a fitness consultant (健身顾问), who will provide you with a great number of reasons and suggestions, such as losing weight and getting healthier, just in order to put pressure on you to spend much money joining the gym and becoming a member there.

Working out(锻炼) with the help of equipment at home has problems, too. In the early 2000’s, I bought a spinning bike (动感单车) at a cost of $700 for home use. I tried a few times only to find that it brought me a neck problem.

Now I’m back to my old way. I do Yoga (瑜伽) every morning and evening. Total cost: $60 for an exercise mat(垫子) . I’m enjoying fitness.

1.The strange rooms are places where people _________.

A. do strange things

B. suffer from great pains

C. play Dante’s Inferno

D. take physical(身体的) exercise

2.In the author’s opinion, joining a gym nowadays is __________.

A. exciting B. inexpensive

C. unnecessary D. helpful

3.The author wrote something about Muscle’s Gym to __________.

A. tell us he was fat when he was young

B. suggest a new way of losing weight

C. provide us with an example of gyms

D. compare it with the gyms of today

4.From the text we can infer that _________.

A. many Americans put on weight after Christmas and New Year’s Day

B. the author and his family had spent a lot of money exercising in gyms

C. 12% of the American people are members of gyms

D. spinning bikes are good equipment for exercise
