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 60 million 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!

The underlined phrase “networked individualism”probably means that by using computers people_______.

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

According to the Pew study,what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?

A.Networks.                                                    B.Friends.                   

C.Phones.                                                        D.Parents.

It can be inferred from the Pew study that_______.

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-toperson communication as good thing

Which would be the best title for this passage?

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.

America is grooving older. Fify years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United Satates were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways - education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society-one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior(行为) is suitable at various ages.

A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time tells ads it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 -year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, “I’m much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “act your Age” anymore. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

72. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _____.

A. has made people feel younger

B. has changed people’s social position

C. has changed people’s understanding of age

D. has slowed down the country’s social development

73. The underlined word “one” refers to_______ .

A. a society  B.America  C.a place  D. population

74. “Act your age” means people should ____ .

A. be active when they are old

B. do the right thing at the right age

C. show respect for their parents young or old

D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age

75. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm the writer of the text would most probably consider it _________.

A. normal           B. wonderful        C. unbelievable       D. unreasonable

determine where she was and how to    12  to her new environment. Monday morning arrived, they went
their   13  ways for the first time.

     The driver responded, "It must feel     15  to be taken care of and protected like you are. " " What do
you mean?" she asked.
     The driver answered, "You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a
military uniform has been   16   across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure
you cross the street   17  and he watches until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss,
gives you a little salute and walks away. " Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. For   18  she
couldn't physically see him, she had always felt Mark's presence. He had given her a gift more powerful
than   19  , a gift she didn't need to see to  20  -the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.

     It is a hot summer day, and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do
you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe
you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings, and
sometimes one causes the other, but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five
senses while happiness is independent of them.
     When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy, you
feel as if everything is against you. You may compensate_for it by eating chocolate and sweets because
this gives you pleasure, yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him
pleasure, yet this does not make him happier, especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his
health.
     The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created,
changed, transformed and then destroyed. This is the normal state of things and no one can change it.
If we stay still in a certain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other
hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing
to do with our inner joy of mind.
     The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied, and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness comes from the inside.
1. What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. to make a suitable payment for

A. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade when you feel thirsty.
B. You eat chocolate and sweets when you feel as if everything is against you.
C. Smoke cigarettes even though you know the fact that it is not good for your health.
D. You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet.
3 We can learn from the passage ________.
A. happiness is more dependent on the five senses
B. pleasure sometimes arouses happiness
C. you feel happy when nothing around you changes in a certain state
D. you feel unhappy because you have to adjust to the environment
4. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Pleasure Leads to Happiness
