A new study suggests that the round-the-clock(24小时不断的)availability that cell phone have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life.The study,which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover’’ between work and home life—and,in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.

     Spillover essentially(本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear.Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job—related calIs at home,for instance--or family issues may start to take up work time.For example,a child may call mom at work,telling her "microwave exploded” explained Noelle Chesley,an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.   

     This may be especially true for working women,the study found. Among men,consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time.But for women,the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time,and family issues came into work life. 

     Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family member.But there may be ways to control the spillover,according to Chesley.Employers, she said,could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”.For their part,employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said. 

64.What does the underlined phrase “taking a toll on’’ probably mean in Paragraph 1?

    A. Explaining.   B. Influencing.    C. Damaging.   D. Extending      

65.According to Chesley,what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell

  phones?

    A. Refuse to use cell phones.

    B. Separate work hours from family time.

    C. Ignore coming calls during family time.

    D. Encourage women to stay at home.

66.We can learn from the passage that ___________________.

    A.spillover makes the line between work and home unclear

    B.cell phones seem to be convenient to families

    C.cell phones affect men as much as women

    D.we can do nothing to solve the problem

67. What is the main idea of the passage?

A .How to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones.

B. Cell phones cause negative “spillover’’ between work and home life.

C. Consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work.

D.How work life invades home life.

                                    The spread of worsening international financial crisis has seriously affected world economic growth and stability. The ongoing financial crisis is rarely seen in history. Countries and organizations have taken measures in response, and we hope these measures will produce the desired results soon. Countries in Asia and Europe are an important force for international financial stability and world economic growth. I suggest that we make greater efforts in the following aspects:

First, countries should run their own affairs well. In the face of the crisis, it is important for leaders to act in the fundamental and long-term interests of the people and use necessary monetary and regulatory tools to regain market confidence as soon as possible and maintain economic growth.

    Second, set up coordination(调和) and cooperation among governments. The financial departments, central banks and financial regulators around the world should closely follow the development of the crisis and study its trend and impact.

Third, strengthen regional financial dialogue and cooperation. Members of the Eurozone have reached agreement on the basic principles to tackle the financial crisis. We in Asia are also exploring the possibility of expanding the size of bilateral currency swap( 互惠外汇信贷)arrangements under the 10+3 framework .

Fourth, push forward the reform of the international monetary and financial systems. The present crisis has exposed the weaknesses in the existing international financial system and governance structure. It important to do three things in this regard: first, increase the say and representation of developing countries in international financial organizations; second, expand the space of the regulation of the international financial system, and third, establish a reasonable global financial rescue mechanism(机制).
