6.Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent(具备智能的).They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap,and keep a record of the bill.
The touch-screen devices(触摸屏装置)are on show at the Food Marketing Institute's exhibition here this week."These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker,"said Michael Alexander,manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc.,which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.
Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July.A similar device,IBM's"Shopping Buddy",has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.
Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart,but they will flash you with items on sale.The idea is to make it easier for people to buy,not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.
"The whole model is driven by advertisers'need to get in front of shoppers,"said Alexander."They're not watching 30-second TV ads anymore."
People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists.Once at the store,a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system(系统)that will organize the trip around the store.If you're looking for toothpicks,you type in the word or pick it from a list,and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.
The device also keeps a record of what you buy.When you're finished,the device figures out your bill.Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.
The new computerized shopping assistants don't come cheap.The Buddy devices will cost the average store about﹩160,000,and the Concierge will cost stores about﹩500 for each device.

d.Go to a self-checkout stand.

C.shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid

D.Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable.
7.Do's And Don'ts Of Donating
Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis.(36)D   Here are 4 do's and don'ts of donating your belongings.
    Do Prep Your Clothes
You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers,and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated.Before you bag up these pieces,examine each one to ensure that they're in good condition.Make sure all buttons are fastened,and that you can't see any dirty spots.(37)G      
Don't Donate Damaged Items
The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it's in good,useable condition.Don't donate clothes or furniture with rips(裂口 )or stains,chipped dishes,or books that are missing pages.(38)A   Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.

(40)C  
With a little common sense it's easy to figure out items that are ideal for donation.But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought.As a gentle reminder,it's never a good idea to donate car parts,flammable products,construction materials,weapons,or explosives.

19.Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互动) these days.The term is"networked individualism".This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings.How can we be individuals (个体) and be networked at the same time?You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means.Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail,our social networks included live interactions with relatives,neighbors,and friends.Some of the interaction was by phone,but it was still voice to voice,person to person,in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people,electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction.However,a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that's a good thing.Why?
In the past,many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer.But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true.The Internet connects us with more real people than expected-helpful people who can give advice on careers,medical problems,raising children,and choosing a school or college.About 60million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer,we are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time!
60.The underlined phrase"networked individualism"probably means that by using computers peopleD.
A.stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B.have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C.do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D.are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
61.According to the Pew study,what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?A
A.Networks.
B.Friends.
C.Phones.
D.Parents.
62.It can be inferred from the Pew study thatC.
A.people have been separated from each other by using computers
B.the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C.the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D.a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
63.Which would be the best title for this passage?C
A.We're Alone on the Internet.
B.We're Communicating on the Internet.
C.We're Alone Together on the Internet.
D.We're in the Imaginary World of the Internet.
