"I often check my e-mail forty times a day."
"I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net."
"I spend more time in chat rooms(聊天室) than with my‘real-1ife'friends."
Do you know any people like these?They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction.Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week.The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品) use.People lose control(控制)of the time they spend on the Internet
For example,one college student was missing for several days.His friends were worried,and they called the police.The police found the student in the computer lab:he was surfing the net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted.And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is"surfing the net"a hobby or an addiction for you?You may have a problem if
you have these symptoms(症状):
●You do no t go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
●You can't wait for your next online time.
●You plan to spend a short time online,but then you spend several hours.
●You go out with your friends less and less.

13.In the 19th century,there used to be a model of how to be a good person.There are all these torrents of passion flowing through you.Your job,as captain of your soul,is to erect dams to keep these passions in check.Your job is to just say no to laziness,lust,greed,drug use and the other sins.
These days that model is out of fashion.You usually can't change your behavior by simply resolving to do something.Knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it.Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence.It's more like a muscle,which tires easily.Moreover,you're a social being.If everybody around you is overeating,you'll probably do so,too.
The 19th-century character model was based on an understanding of free will.Today,we know that free will is bounded.People can change their lives,but ordering change is not simple because many things,even within ourselves,are beyond our direct control.
Much of our behavior,for example,is guided by unconscious habits.Researchers at Duke University calculated that more than 40percent of the actions we take are governed by habit,not actual decisions.Researchers have also come to understand the structure of habits-cue,routine,reward.
You can change your own personal habits.If you leave running shorts on the floor at night,that'll be a cue to go running in the morning.Don't try to ignore your afternoon snack craving.Every time you feel the cue for a snack,insert another routine.Take a walk.
Their research thus implies a different character model,which is supposed to manipulate the neuralnetworks inside.
To be an effective person,under this model,you are supposed to coolly examine your own unconscious habits,and the habits of those under your care.You are supposed to devise strategies to alter the cues and routines.Every relationship becomes slightly manipulative,including your relationship with yourself.You're trying to arouse certain responses by implanting certain cues.
This is a bit disturbing,because the important habitual neural networks are not formed by mere routine,nor can they be reversed by clever cues.They are burned in by emotion and strengthened by strong yearnings,like the yearnings for admiration and righteousness.
If you think you can change your life in a clever way,the way an advertiser can get you to buy an air freshener,you're probably wrong.As the Victorians understood,if you want to change your life,don't just look for a clever cue.Commit to some larger global belief.

61.Which of the following is the first-to-none element in the 19th-century character model?C
A.Action.   
B.Capacity.  
C.Resolution.
D.Enthusiasm.
62.The 19th-century model supposedly does not work on the grounds thatA
A.one's wished should be pondered before acting.
B.the comparison of free will to a dam is groundless.
C.it has been proved impractical and cannot hold true.
D.there were many other factors beyond one's control.
63.The research at Duke University indicated thatC
A.One's behavior is tough to change.
B.Habit has an unidentified structure.
C.Habit plays a vital role in one's behavior.

C.cues to change all the former unconscious habits.
D.cues to manipulate the habitual neural responses.
65.We can learn from the passage that the new character modelB
A.can generate changes in one's life like what advertisers do.
B.highlights the neural and psychological aspects of habit change.
C.has been identified a new method of changing behavior perfectly.
D.has an advantage over others in dealing with emotional aspects of behavior.
20.Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air.You name them work,family,health,friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.If you drop it,it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls,family,health,friends and spirit,are made of glass.If you drop one of these,it will be broken.They will never be the same.You must understand that and try to have balance in your life.How?
Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set goals for you.Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid of difficulties.It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible.The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn.Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly.You can't get them back.Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery (秘密),and today is a gift:that's why we call it"the present".Life is not a competition,but a trip,step by step.

71.The passage tells us not toD because everyone is special.
A.be afraid of difficulties

C.run through life so fast     
D.compare yourself with others to look down on your worth

B.if we don't give up,there is always hope
C.you should learn to give up   
D.although you try,nothing will change

A.Because time is too expensive.
B.Because time never returns.
C.Because we are too poor.

17.In Los Angeles,drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic.These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be."There're too many cars,and you can't move around a lot."
Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams.He lives more than 65kilometers from his office at the University of Southern Califomia,in Los Angeles.He is always late even with the help of a navigation(导航) system.
He decided to develop a programme called ClearPath for that.He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.
"What's unique is that we  use  a lot of data that's currently become  available  including traffic data,weather data,and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home."
Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions.With ClearPath,he says,a driver can decide what time he wants to leave,and ClearPath will give the fastest route.It looks at the entire road network,including surface streets as well as highways,before the driver hits the road.Professor Shahabi hopes to have  ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data  from other cities.
"I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic,but now I know that Shanghai,Beijing,SeouI,Tokyo,believe it or not,Singapore,Hong Kong certainly are examples that canimmediately use this."
Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems,such as Google and Apple.

41.Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order toD

14.As a recipe for losing weight,taking a slice of chocolate cake at breakfast would seem an unlikely fantasy.
A team from Tel Aviv University found that eating pudding as part of a balanced 600-calorie breakfast that also included proteins and carbohydrates (碳水化合物),could help dieter to lose more weight---and keep it off in the long run.
Attempting to avoid sweets entirely can create a psychological addiction to these same foods in the long term.So adding desserts to breakfast can control craving(渴望) throughout the rest of the day.
Over the course of a 32-week-long study,participants,who added desserts to their breakfast lost about 40pounds more than a group that avoided such foods.What's more,they kept off the pounds longer.
A meal in the morning provides energy for the day's tasks,aids in brain functioning,and kick-starts the body's metabolism (新陈代谢),making it decisive to weight loss and maintenance.And breakfast is the meal that most successfully regulates ghrelin,the hormone that increases longer.While the level of ghrelin rises before every meals,it is controlled most effectively at breakfast time.
The researchers hoped to determine whether meal time and composition had an impact on weight loss in the short and long term,or whether it was a simple matter of the caloric count.

63.According to the passage,the underlined word"it"in paragraph 2probably refers toD.
A.the calorie                      
B.the breakfast
C.the craving for pudding            
D.the lost weight
64.Adding some desserts in your breakfast diet properly willB.
A.make you gain more fat                 
B.make you become slim more easily
C.help improve your psychological health
D.help develop your craving for more delicious food
65.Through paragraph 5.the author wants to showC.
A.the special function of ghrelin            
B.some decisive ways of losing weight
C.the great importance of breakfast to us
D.the nutrition we should take in during the breakfast
66.What will the passage develope next?A
A.Another experiment on weight loss.
B.An importance of calorie.
C.People's breakfast time.
D.The composition of the breakfast.
