Smart phone stress： Are you a victim of "always on" cul?ture?

You're on holiday but secretly check your work e-mails the moment you wake up. You get anxious if there's no Wi-Fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. 5 And you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you're not there. These are the typical signs of "always on" stress caused by smartphone addiction.

Work-life balance

Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh developed an app named Moment to monitor his usage of his phone. The app enables users to see how much time they're spending on the device and set up warnings if self-controlled usage limits are offended. 6 "Some time on your phone, some time off it, enjoying your loving family and friends around you."

"Always stressed"

7 You're not giving your body time to recover, so you're always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. 8 The fact that we can stay connected to the workplace wherever we are in the world is feeding deep-rooted insecurities.

Slowdown in decision

We now consume media for more hours than we sleep. 9 It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many are becoming less productive because they're flooded by it all and feel they can never escape the office.

A.Moment's goal is to promote balance in your life.

B.You get excited if you receive a text message or an e-mail

from a friend.

C.This is leading to a sort of slowdown in decision and it is creating more stress in the workplace.

D.The negative impact of "always on" culture is that your mind is never resting.

E.Physical and mental health therefore can suffer.

F. Mobile phone companies argue that mobile connectivity is beneficial.

G. You are nervous if your phone is getting low on power.

People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and that's actually quite true. 9 After all, making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them. The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time.

• Dress appropriately.

10 That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situation-appropriate clothes for social situations. It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either.

• Be aware of your body language.

Words express very little of what you say. Body lan?guage can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level. 11 Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable, important and special. Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious. Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.

• Respect the opinions of others.

Not everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversa?tion. Respect other people's right to have their own opinion. Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them. 12

People love talking about themselves, but generally, you want to be careful of taking over the conversation. By listen?ing carefully to what others are saying, you are not only mak?ing them feel important, but also gathering cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics.

A. Be a careful listener.

B. Show an interest in every person you meet.

C. Smile especially when first meeting someone.

D. Make sure you look nice whenever you meet
someone new.

E. Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging.

F. Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression.

G. Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them.

A group of Russian criminals have stolen 1. 2 billion use-rname and password combinations for more than 500 million e-mail addresses. It's the largest known theft on the Inter?net, according to a report of The New York Times.

Cyber security firm Hold Security discovered the security breach. The firm found that the group of criminals collected personal information from 420， 000 websites, including household names and small Internet sites. The criminals were based in a small city in southern Central Russia. They hacked websites inside Russia as well as big companies in the US and other countries,T/ie New York Times reported.

The criminals found hundreds of thousands of weak web?sites and attacked their coding, Hold Security said. Alex Holden is the chief information security officer of Hold Secur?ity. "The hackers do not just target US companies; they tar?get any website they can get," Holden said. "And most of these sites are still easy to attack.，，

According to Hold Security, the criminals have been using the stolen information to send junk mail through e-mail and on social networks like Twitter. They can also use the 500 million stolen e-mail addresses to plan other crimes. They could use information from bank e-mails to steal your identity or sell the e-mail addresses to other criminals to make quick cash.

The reported break-ins are the latest events to raise doubts about security in big and small companies. Last win?ter, hackers stole 40 million credit card numbers and 70 mil?lion addresses, phone numbers and other personal informa?tion from the retailer Target Corporation. The brand is still working to regain its shoppers' trust.

John Prisco is the CEO of a security firm. He says secur?ity hackings are more common than many people and compa?nies realize. "This issue reminds me of an iceberg, 90% of which is actually under water," Prisco said in an e-mailed statement. So many cyber breaches today are not actually re?ported, because companies are losing information and they are not even aware of it.

Security experts believe hackers will continue breaking into computer networks unless companies become more pro?tective of personal information.

5.What did a group of Russian criminals do according to the report?

A. They stole e-mail addresses of the Internet users.

A [2015 .江淮名校高三第二次联考] My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Internet, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an as?sistant, "Can I have one of those? " He looked perturbed(不安的)."Do you want to try it first? "he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do 1 need to?" I replied, "There's nothing wrong with it. " This made htm look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly. "Compare it with the others."

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly differ?ent prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y， always trying to take Z and pos?sibly H into account at the same time. But when I had fin-ished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice ， the clever choice* and the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupt?ed to ask whether I needed to buy a carry case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

The shop assistant insisted that the writer should

A. trust him and stop asking questions

B. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

C. get more information about different companies

D. compare the camera he had chosen with the others

2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?

A. He should get a 50% discount.

B. The price of the camera would soon fall.

C. The quality of the camera was not good.

D. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he_________ .

A. knew very little about it

B. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

C. didn't trust the shop assistant

D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's
opinion, ________ .

A. we waste too much money on cameras

B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C. we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

D. famous companies care more about profit than quality
