One of the founding fathers of the internet has predicted the end of traditional television. Vint Serf, who helped to build the internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching its “iPod moment.”

In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPods, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most of their favorite programmers onto their computers. “85 percent of all video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it at any time,”said Mr. Cerf, who is now the vice-president of Goggle.

“You’re still going to need live television for certain things--like news, sporting events and emergencies--but increasingly it will be almost like iPod, where you download content to look at later.”

Although television-on-demand has not yet become a main activity in the UK, the BBC, 1TV and Channel 4 have all invested a lot of money in technology which Mr. Cerf think will enable viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.

However, some critics(批评家)have warned that the Internet will collapse(崩溃)if millions of people try to download programmers at the same time.

Over the next four years, scientists think the number of videos watched over the Internet will double, with people moving from short chips to hour-long programmes.

Broadband companies claim that the service will cause“traffic jams”,which will cost millions of pounds to solve. Mr. Cerf dismissed these warnings, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it at the same time, “We’re far from exhausting (用尽)the capacity,” he said.“I want every one of the six billion people in the planet to be able to connect to the Internet.”

If you' re feeling stressed, rather than wallow (沉迷) in watching television, try looking out of the window, with a US study finding scenes of nature can ease off minor stress levels.

Researchers at the Human Interaction with Nature and Technological Systems Lab at the University of Washington set out to look at whether nature, either the real thing or the one depicted (描述) technologically, can impact on minor stress levels.The study involved measuring people' s heart recovery rates from minor stress when they were exposed to a natural scene through a window and when exposed to the same scene shown on a high-definition plasma ( 等离子) screen, or a blank wall.

"The heart rates of people who looked at the scene through the window dropped more quickly than the others.In fact, the high-definition plasma screen had no more effect than the blank wall," the researchers said in a statement.They also found that when people spent more time looking at the natural scene their heart rates tended to decrease more.That was not the case with the plasma screen.

The study, involving 90 college students, is published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology."Technology is good and it can help our lives, but let' s not be fooled into thinking we can live without nature," Peter Kahn, who led the research team, said in a statement.He said people were losing direct experiences with nature and instead experiencing nature represented technologically through television and other media with children growing up watching Discovery Channel and Animal

Planet."But as a species we need interaction with actual nature for our physical and psychological well-being," he said.

       C.People with medium stress levels.

       D.People with psychological problems.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy the other becomes miserable. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things,persons,and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.

The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be critical. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong,but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.

If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct. These people should change this bad habit and condescend (俯就) to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

People who are to be unhappy         .       .

A. always act differently from others.

B. usually have a fault-finding habit.

C. can discover the unpleasant part of certain things.

D. usually are influenced by the results of certain things

One of the consequences of the unhappy people's remark is that       .

A. they are not content with the pleasure of society.

B. they are bad-temper but friendly.

C. they hate everything

D. they are hurt.

74. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. We should pity such unhappy people.

B. Such unhappy people are content with themselves.

C. Such unhappy people are critical almost with themselves.

D. Even such unhappy people recognize the bad effects of the habit on themselves, but they can not get rid of it.

75. If such unhappy people don’t change their bad behavior, the author’s solution to the problem is that people should      .

  A. help them                    B. avoid contact with them  

C. pay no attention to them           D. show no respect to them
