Several researchers have begun to examine the unique communicative capabilities

一些研究人员已经开始研究的独特的交际功能

the effects of these technologies.

这些技术的影响。

Following the suggestion of Newhagen and Rafaeli (1996), we considered the uses 之后纽黑根和Rafaeli (1996 年)的建议,我们认为使用

and gratifications of the internet. Earlier, Kuehn (1994) examined motives of CMC 和互联网的乐趣。早些时候,Kuehn (1994 年)审查了动机的CMC

users in an instructional setting, following a uses-and-gratifications approach. As a

教学设置,之后使用从方法中的用户。作为

psychological communication perspective, uses-and-gratifications theory assumes

心理沟通的角度看,使用从理论假设

people communicate or use media to gratify needs or wants. it focuses on motives for 人沟通或使用的媒体来满足需要或想要。它侧重于动机

Some researchers have examined the uses of the Internet within organizational and interpersonal communication settings and have provided insight into the nature of

一些研究人员研究了内组织和人际交流设置互联网的使用,并提供了洞察的性质

CMC. Much of the CMC research completed from an organizational perspective has

been summarized as the cues-filtered-out approach. Authors of these studies have

总结就是提示筛选出办法。这些研究的作者有

addres sed how CMC?s limited number of nonverbal cues affect communication.

处理CMC 的有限的数量的非语言线索如何影响通信。

Basedon such nonverbal cues, media vary in their social presence (Short, Williams, &

基于这种非语言线索,媒体在其社会的存在会发生变化(短,威廉斯,&

Christie, 1976) or media richness (Daft & Lengel, 1984).

Social presence is “the feeling that other actors are jointly involved in communicative

社会的存在是"的感觉其他行为者共同参与交际

interaction” (Short et al., 1976, p. 65). In other words, social presence is a sense

互动"(短等人,1976 年,p.65)。换言之,社会的存在是一种

media such as the telephone or voice mail (Perse & Courtright, 1993; Rice, 1993).

媒体如电话或语音邮件(佩斯& 考特赖特,1993 年;水稻,1993年)。

Perceptions of social presence influence CMC motives and outcomes. For example,

社会的存在的观念影响CMC 的动机和结果。例如,

Perse, Burton, Kovner, Lears, and Sen (1992) found that college students who rated

佩斯、伯顿、Kovner、Lears,和森(1992年) 发现那所大学学生额定

computers as more socially present, tended to use them more often and to find them

计算机作为社会更本,往往更多地使用并找到它们

more helpful in learning.

Similarly, media richness theory assumes that people distinguish among communication

同样,媒体丰富理论假设人们区分通信

& V ogel,1994 年;Valacich、Paranka、乔治,& Nunamaker,1993年)。Valacich 和colleagues argued that computer mediation can support unlimited parallel and

同事认为计算机调解可以支持无限的并行和

distinct communication episodes, whereas traditional (e.g., verbal) media support

不同通信情节,而传统(例如,口头) 媒体支持

serial communication. McGuire, Kiesler, and Siege1 (1 987) found that face-to-face

串行通信。麦圭尔、Kiesler 和Siege1 (1 987) 发现,面对面

discussion contained more argumentation than computer-mediated discussion in

讨论所载更多论证比计算机为中介的讨论

decision-making groups. Straus (1 9971, however, found that, although computermediated

决策团体。Straus (1 9971,然而,发现,虽然computermediated

Other researchers have argued for the existence of computer-mediated interaction.

其他研究者认为存在的计算机为媒介的互动。

Walther (1 992), for example, found that as computer-mediated communication develops over time, communicators adapt their language and textual displays to

瓦尔特(1 992),例如,发现随着电脑中介通信的发展随着时间的推移,宣传员适应他们的语言和文字显示为

动机和解码可以用来代替非言语部分的文字提示。

Walther's (1 992) rationale grew out of such assumptions as people have a need to

产生这种假设人有需要的瓦尔特的(1 992) 理由

Walther (1 993) extended this research to include impression management of

瓦尔特(1 993)扩展这项研究包括的印象管理

CMC vary and change over time (Walther, 1994). Walther (1995) noted that

CMC 会发生变化随时间而变化(Walther,1994年)。瓦尔特(1995 年)指出,

face-to-face groups did not express greater intimacy than computer-mediated groups.

面对面群体没有表达更亲密比介导的计算机组。

He concluded that (a) mediated interaction is rarely impersonal, (b) CMC is

他的结论(a) 介导的相互作用是很少没有人情味,(b) 管委会是

9种常见的INTERNET接入方式

9种常见的INTERNET接入方式 2005-07-22 13:58作者:王玉涵出处:考试吧责任编辑:王玉涵提到接入网,首先要涉及一个带宽问题,随着互联网技术的不断发展和完善,接入网的带宽被人们分为窄带和宽带,业内专家普遍认为宽带接入是未来发展方向。 宽带运营商网络结构如图1所示。整个城市网络由核心层、汇聚层、边缘汇聚层、接入层组成。社区端到末端用户接入部分就是通常所说的最后一公里,它在整个网络中所处位置如图1所示。 在接入网中,目前可供选择的接入方式主要有PSTN、ISDN、DDN、LAN、ADSL、VDSL、Cable-Modem、PON和LMDS9种,它们各有各的优缺点。 PSTN拨号: 使用最广泛 PSTN(Published Switched Telephone Network,公用电话交换网)技术是利用PSTN 通过调制解调器拨号实现用户接入的方式。这种接入方式是大家非常熟悉的一种接入方式,目前最高的速率为56kbps,已经达到仙农定理确定的信道容量极限,这种速率远远不能够满足宽带多媒体信息的传输需求; 但由于电话网非常普及,用户终端设备Modem很便宜,大约在100~500元之间,而且不用申请就可开户,只要家里有电脑,把电话线接入Modem 就可以直接上网。因此,PSTN拨号接入方式比较经济,至今仍是网络接入的主要手段。 PSTN接入方式如图2所示。随着宽带的发展和普及,这种接入方式将被淘汰。 ISDN拨号:通话上网两不误

ISDN(Integrated Service Digital Network,综合业务数字网)接入技术俗称“一线通”,它采用数字传输和数字交换技术,将电话、传真、数据、图像等多种业务综合在一个统一的数字网络中进行传输和处理。用户利用一条ISDN用户线路,可以在上网的同时拨打电话、收发传真,就像两条电话线一样。ISDN基本速率接口有两条64kbps的信息通路和一条16kbps 的信令通路,简称2B+D,当有电话拨入时,它会自动释放一个B信道来进行电话接听。 就像普通拨号上网要使用Modem一样,用户使用ISDN也需要专用的终端设备,主要由网络终端NT1和ISDN适配器组成。网络终端NT1好像有线电视上的用户接入盒一样必不可少,它为ISDN适配器提供接口和接入方式。ISDN适配器和Modem一样又分为内置和外置两类,内置的一般称为ISDN内置卡或ISDN适配卡;外置的ISDN适配器则称之为TA。ISDN内置卡价格在300~400元左右,而TA则在1000元左右。 ISDN接入技术示意如图3所示。用户采用ISDN拨号方式接入需要申请开户,初装费根据地区不同而会不同,一般开销在几百至1000元不等。ISDN的极限带宽为128kbps,各种测试数据表明,双线上网速度并不能翻番,从发展趋势来看,窄带ISDN也不能满足高质量的VOD等宽带应用。 DDN专线: 面向集团企业 DDN是英文Digital Data Network的缩写,这是随着数据通信业务发展而迅速发展起来的一种新型网络。DDN的主干网传输媒介有光纤、数字微波、卫星信道等,用户端多使用普通电缆和双绞线。DDN将数字通信技术、计算机技术、光纤通信技术以及数字交叉连接技术有机地结合在一起,提供了高速度、高质量的通信环境,可以向用户提供点对点、点对多点透明传输的数据专线出租电路,为用户传输数据、图像、声音等信息。DDN的通信速率可根据用户需要在N×64kbps(N=1~32)之间进行选择,当然速度越快租用费用也越高。 用户租用DDN业务需要申请开户。DDN的收费一般可以采用包月制和计流量制,这与一般用户拨号上网的按时计费方式不同。DDN的租用费较贵,普通个人用户负担不起,DDN主要面向集团公司等需要综合运用的单位。DDN按照不同的速率带宽收费也不同,例如在中国电信申请一条128kbps的区内DDN专线,月租费大约为1000元。因此它不适合社区住户的接入,只对社区商业用户有吸引力。 ADSL: 个人宽带流行风 ADSL(Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line,非对称数字用户环路)是一种能够通过普通电话线提供宽带数据业务的技术,也是目前极具发展前景的一种接入技术。ADSL素有“网络快车”之美誉,因其下行速率高、频带宽、性能优、安装方便、不需交纳电话费等特点而深受广大用户喜爱,成为继Modem、ISDN之后的又一种全新的高效接入方式。

The use of force

The use of force 大意: Mathilda had been ill for three days. Her mother had given her some medicine, but it didn’t do any good. So they had to ask the doctor to come. There had been a number of cases of diphtheria in Mathilda School and two of them had been dead. When the doctor arrived at Olson’s home, he wanted to examine Mathilda throat first. But no matter how he coaxed, She wouldn’t open her mouth. So the doctor had to get the tongue depressor into her mouth. But Mathilda reduced it to splinters. In orde r to protect Mathilda herself and other children, the doctor had to make sure whether she had diphtheria or not, so that he could treat her in time. Letting Mathilda‘s father hold her wrists he tried his best to open her mouth and found she really had diphtheria. This story made us can think such a question that something in life can’t only depend on self-willingness. Under some circumstances, certain force seems necessary. 对医生的评价:After the doctor arrived at the girl’s home, he wanted to see her throat. As there had been a number of cases of diphtheria in the school to which the girl went during that month, the doctor also thought that of the girl. So he smiled to the girl and asked her to open her mouth and let him have a look at her throat. No matter how the doctor coaxed, the girl shut her mouth firmly. Thinking that the girl might have diphtheria and possibly die of it, the doctor decided to use force to open her mouth. He had seen at least two children lying dead in bed of neglect in such cases. He felt that he must get a diagnosis now. So he grasped the girl’s head with his left hand and tried to get the wooden tongue depressor between her teeth. But when the doctor got the wooden spatula behind her last teeth. She gripped the blade between her molars and reduced it to splinters. In the final unreasoning assault the doctor outer powered the girl. He forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gagged. Her both tonsils were covered with membrane. From that the doctor had done, I thought he was a responsible person. In order to save the lives of the patients, especially those children who did not know how to co-operate with the doctor, he had to take some measure. Otherwise a good or suitable time of treatment would be missed. The doctor appears to be compassionate and keen to human behavior, characteristic of a good doctor, though he is also undeniably blunt and slightly prejudiced. 思想: Though there are reasons often justifiable, what compels the use of force against others isn't simply altruism alone. The overall theme of the story revolves around power and submission and the doctor's unnerved feeling following the forceful encounter. 作者如何写的: The story is narrated in first person by a doctor, who is answering a house visit to see a sick girl. Williams uses interior monologue as a "stream-of-consciousness" tool reflects the narrator's experience of dialogue and gives insight into the character and his appraisal of the situations he encounters. The story is written without the use of quotation marks, and the dialogue is not distinguished from the narrator's comments. The story is rendered from the subjective point of view of the doctor, and explores his subdued enjoyment of forcefully subduing the stubborn child in an attempt to acquire the throat sample.

“the way+从句”结构的意义及用法

“theway+从句”结构的意义及用法 首先让我们来看下面这个句子: Read the followingpassageand talkabout it wi th your classmates.Try totell whatyou think of Tom and ofthe way the childrentreated him. 在这个句子中,the way是先行词,后面是省略了关系副词that或in which的定语从句。 下面我们将叙述“the way+从句”结构的用法。 1.the way之后,引导定语从句的关系词是that而不是how,因此,<<现代英语惯用法词典>>中所给出的下面两个句子是错误的:This is thewayhowithappened. This is the way how he always treats me. 2.在正式语体中,that可被in which所代替;在非正式语体中,that则往往省略。由此我们得到theway后接定语从句时的三种模式:1) the way+that-从句2)the way +in which-从句3) the way +从句 例如:The way(in which ,that) thesecomrade slookatproblems is wrong.这些同志看问题的方法

不对。 Theway(that ,in which)you’re doingit is comple tely crazy.你这么个干法,简直发疯。 Weadmired him for theway inwhich he facesdifficulties. Wallace and Darwingreed on the way inwhi ch different forms of life had begun.华莱士和达尔文对不同类型的生物是如何起源的持相同的观点。 This is the way(that) hedid it. I likedthe way(that) sheorganized the meeting. 3.theway(that)有时可以与how(作“如何”解)通用。例如: That’s the way(that) shespoke. = That’s how shespoke.

The way的用法及其含义(一)

The way的用法及其含义(一) 有这样一个句子:In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. 1770年,这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。 the way在句中的语法作用是什么?其意义如何?在阅读时,学生经常会碰到一些含有the way 的句子,如:No one knows the way he invented the machine. He did not do the experiment the way his teacher told him.等等。他们对the way 的用法和含义比较模糊。在这几个句子中,the way之后的部分都是定语从句。第一句的意思是,“没人知道他是怎样发明这台机器的。”the way的意思相当于how;第二句的意思是,“他没有按照老师说的那样做实验。”the way 的意思相当于as。在In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.这句话中,the way也是as的含义。随着现代英语的发展,the way的用法已越来越普遍了。下面,我们从the way的语法作用和意义等方面做一考查和分析: 一、the way作先行词,后接定语从句 以下3种表达都是正确的。例如:“我喜欢她笑的样子。” 1. the way+ in which +从句 I like the way in which she smiles. 2. the way+ that +从句 I like the way that she smiles. 3. the way + 从句(省略了in which或that) I like the way she smiles. 又如:“火灾如何发生的,有好几种说法。” 1. There were several theories about the way in which the fire started. 2. There were several theories about the way that the fire started.

网络组建 Internet提供的服务

网络组建Internet提供的服务 随着Internet的商业化的发展趋势,它提供的信息服务的功能逐渐增强,服务方式多样化,资源也越来越丰富。在Internet上可以进行科学研究、资料查询、收发邮件、联机交谈、联机游戏、网上购物等活动。Internet主要的常用服务项目有。 1.电子邮件(E-mail) 电子邮件(Electronic mail)服务是Internet上用户最多、使用最广泛的服务。与传统的通信方式相比,它有着巨大的优势。 电子邮件具有传递速度快、内容多样化、收发方便、成本低廉的特点。通常只需数秒钟电子邮件即可送达至全球任意位置的收件人信箱中,其速度比电话通信更为高效快捷。另外电子邮件不仅可传送文字信息,而且还可附上声音和图像等多媒体信息文件。由于电子邮件所采取异步工作方式,使得收信人可以自由决定时间、地点接收和回复邮件。电子邮件最大的优点还在于其低廉的价格。用户花费极少的上网费即可将重要的信息发送给远在地球另一端的用户。 目前,通过邮件传播的病毒以及垃圾邮件、邮件炸弹等因素对用户计算机构成了不小的威胁。针对这种情况,不少网站的邮箱服务增加了病毒扫描、反垃圾邮件等功能。为了确保电子邮件的安全性,也可以采用加密的办法来传输邮件,即使被人截获,也不会被轻易破译。2.文件传输(FTP) FTP(File Transfer Protocol)是文件传输协议,它允许Internet的用户将一台计算机上的文件传送到另一台上。它也是Internet中被广泛使用的服务之一。 使用FTP几乎可以传送任何类型的文件,如文本文件、二进制可执行文件、图形文件、图像文件、声音文件、数据压缩文件等。但是要想使用FTP服务器必须先登录,登录时要求给出其在FTP服务器上的合法账号和口令。目前,Internet上多数FTP服务器提供了免费的FTP服务,即用户可以匿名登录。用户可以使用anonymous作为用户名,用guest作为密码进行匿名登录。有些FTP服务器要求用户以自己的电子邮件地址作为密码。 FTP协议也是一种TCP/IP应用协议。不管用户身在何处、如何上网、使用何种类型的计算机或操作系统,只要遵循TCP/IP协议族中FTP协议,就可以很方便地交换文件。 在FTP的工作模式中,文件传输分为“上传”(Upload)和“下载”(Download)两种。“上传”是指用户将本地文件上传到FTP服务器上,“下载”则是指用户将远程FTP服务器上的文件下载到本地计算机上。 3.WWW服务 WWW(World Wide Web)被称为“万维网”或者3W,它的出现是Internet发展的一个里程碑,它是Internet上最方便且最受用户欢迎的服务。 WWW是一种基于超文本方式的信息查询工具。它向用户提供了一种非常简单、快捷、易用的查找和获取各种共享信息的渠道。并且它是用众多的超文本标记语言(HTML即Hype Text Makeup Language)写成,是基于超文本方式的信息查询工具。由于万维网(WWW)使用的是超媒体和超文本信息组织和管理技术,任何单位或个人都可以将自己所要发布和共享的信息,以HTML格式存入到各自的服务器中。当其他网上用户需要该信息时,可以通过浏览器(Internet Explorer)进行检索和查询。 WWW还可以通过一种单独的高级浏览服务提供的对多种服务器的访问功能,对存放在FTP服务器、Gopher服务器和WAIS服务器的文件进行访问。 超文本是一种信息的集合体,可以任意将文本、图像、声音和视频等信息组合进行相应的信息存储和检索系统中,用户可从其中一个主题跳到相关主题。
