4．We all know the feeling：looking at the computer screen，pretending to be interested in our homework，even though we really feel bored．But such feelings may soon be at an end，says Dr．Harry Witchel，head of the Essex Medical School．He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it．
Before you get concerned，the machine won't be reading your mind．It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer．It's not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一 like moving a mouse or touching a screen-but small，barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes，moving in your seat or rubbing your face．Witchel calls these"boredom movements"and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching．The higher the interest level，the less movement!
To test his theory，Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks．The activities ranged from playing online games （an interesting task） to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring．
A special video camera followed the participants'movements as they completed each task．Just as the researcher expected，the"boredom movements"greatly decreased，by as much as 42%，when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing．
Fortunately，Dr Witchel isn't planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school．Instead，he wants"movement sensing"technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students'computer-based learning experience．
The scientist says that by measuring the students'interest level as they work，educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused．Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future，help to develop more intelligent robots．

32．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to？C
A．Homework．B．A computer．C．Boredom．D．The future．
33．Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research？D
A．To discover how bored people move．
B．To find out what makes people bored．
C．To see if interested people are more active．
D．To test the link between boredom and movement．
34．Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to？D
A．Turning off the machine．
B．Typing words on a keyboard．
C．Surfing quickly between webpages．
D．Moving one's head from side to side．
35．How will the new technology help education，according to Witchel？B
A．By reducing teachers'workload．
B．By maintaining students'learning interest．
C．By reporting students'misbehavior in class．
D．By making learning more like a computer game．

5．A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap，a disagreement between young people and their elders．Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience （服从），while children complained （抱怨） that their parents did not understand them at all．What had gone wrong？Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared？Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time．Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric （结构） of our society．
One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life．In more traditional societies，when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and agree to，and to continue the family occupation （职业）．In our society，young people often travel great distances for their education，move out of the family home at an early age，marry or live with people whom their parents have never met，and choose occupations different from those of their parents．
In our easily changing society，parents often expect their children to do better than they did：to find better jobs，to make more money，and to do all the things that they were unable to do．Often，however，the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them．Often，they discover that they have very little in common with each other．
Finally，the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations．In a traditional culture，elderly people are valued for their wisdom，but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight．The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds，separated by different skills and abilities．
No doubt，the generation gap will continue to be a feature （特点） of American life for some time to come．Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society，and in the rapid speed at which society changes．

5．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatB．
A．the generation gap suddenly appeared
B．the generation gap is a feature of modern social life
C．people can reduce the generation gap
D．many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
6．The word"around"in Paragraph 1meansB．
A．on all sides B．in existence C．in every direction D．near
7．In American society，young people oftenD．
A．depend on their parents to make a life
B．stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education
C．seek the best advice from their parents
D．have very little in common with their parents
8．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？C
A．Parents should be strict with their children．
B．The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom．
C．The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation．
D．The generation gap does not exist in American society．
