UNIT 35Tell MeAsking for and Giving InformationIntroductionYou live in a world of information. Every day you ask people something you don’t know and tell them something you know. So if you want to exchange information, you have to learnhow to ask and answer questions.A conversation often depends on questions to keep it going in a direction you want it to 5go. In most casual, friendly conversations between people of equal status, all participantsgenerally do similar amounts of asking and answering. In some situations, however, betweenhigher-status and lower-status people, such as a job interview, the higher-status speakerusually controls the direction of the conversation by asking most of the questions. Varioustechniques may be necessary to get different kinds of information from different people. Most 0people are very polite when they ask strangers about something. If you’re too direct, you mayappear to be rude. In any case, personal questions have to be expressed very politely. Thereare many opening gambits to start a conversation but you must appropriately use eachexpression and they are not all used in the same way.5Part One Listening InDavid: Hi, Kim!Kim: Oh hi, David!David: Uh listen, I was wondering if you could help me. Do you happen to know where 0there’s a good place to buy art supplies?Kim: I’m not really sure. Hey, let me think for a minute. Oh yeah, there’s that new place, Mixed Media—you know, it’s down on Main Street?David: Mm, I don’t know that store—exactly where on Main Street?Kim: Well, you know where the new vegetarian restaurant is—it’s right up the block.5David: Oh yes, I know where you mean now.Kim: Hey, I hope you don’t mind my asking, but are you taking up painting?David: (laughs) Are you kidding? I can’t paint! I’m just asking for my sister’s son. He’s really into it.Kim: Ah...oh, I see. Hey, are you still doing your photography? You’re really good at that.David: Yeah, that’s the one thing I really enjoy.Kim: Hey listen. This may sound like a dumb question, but can you get any good pictures on an automatic?David: No, no, no, now that’s a very interesting question. Automatics are OK, except forspecial effects, or stop action.5Kim: Oh, and it... listen, there’s something else I was wondering about—like, should you do all your own developing?David: Oh no! You don’t have to develop your own. You can get good prints if you send them out.Kim: No kidding! Could you tell me something more about it—like, if I was going to set up a 0darkroom, what would I really be using it for—what kind of equipment would I need?David: Oh well, you’d need your enlarger, and... and chemicals, but actually developing is only cheaper when you’re doing a lot of enlargements.Kim: Oh, I see. Can I ask if you’re making any money at it?David: (laughs) I’m making enough, and... well, it’s tax time, so that’s something I’d rather 5not talk about.Kim: (laughs) I really understand. Well, I got to be getting along now, so, so long!David: Bye!Part Two Better ListeningSection AKim: Have you seen the file on policy number H-124326?5George: No, I haven’t. Have you asked John for it? He’s been working on the H series since Monday.Kim: I’ve asked him. He hasn’t used it. I’ve been looking for that file all morning.George: Have you asked Anne?Kim: Yes, I’ve asked her too. George, have you been filing things again this week? I told you 0to leave the files alone.George: Well, yes, I have.Kim: Let me see what you’ve done.George: I’ve rearranged the files, see? I’ve moved these files to the top drawer, and I’ve put these in the bottom drawer.5Kim: No wonder I haven’t been able to find anything! You’ve messed up everything! It’s going to take me a month of Sundays to get it straightened out again.George: Oh, come on! I understand what I’ve done. It’s simple. I’ve put files we use all the time on the top. The files we don’t use as often come next, and the ones we never useare at the bottom.Kim: George, have you ever learned the alphabet?George: Sure.Kim: Why don’t you just follow the alphabet then, so the rest of us can understand what you’ve done?55Section BTell Me a Little About YourselfA: So, tell me a little about yourself.B: Gee—uh... I don’t know where to begin. What do you want to know?A: Well... Are you originally from around here?B: No, I’m originally from Chicago. I was born there and grew up there and went to school there. I moved here after I graduated from college. How about you?A: Me?B: Yes. Where are you from?5A: I was born right here in Los Angeles and lived here until I finished high school. Then I lived in Denver for several years and moved back here just a year ago.B: I see. How about your family?A: My family?B: Yes. Do you have any brothers or sisters?A: Uh-huh. I have a brother and two sisters. They all live in San Diego. How about you?B: I have a sister. She lives in Cleveland.A: By the way, what do you do?B: I’m a journalist. And you?A: I’m a dentist.5B: A dentist? That’s interesting.Part Four Comprehensive PracticeSection AR: Hello, Clarkson College. May I help you?S: Yes. I’m looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester.5R: Do you want a day or evening course?S: Well, it would have to be an evening course, since I work during the day.R: Uh-huh. Have you taken any courses in data processing?S: No.R: Oh, well, data processing is a prerequisite course. You have to take that course before you 0can take computer programming.S: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it’s not on Thursdays.R: Well... there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven.S: Just once a week?R: Yes, but that’s almost three hours—from seven to nine forty-five p.m.5S: Oh. Well, that’s all right. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?5R: Mm… let me see...twelve weeks. You start the first week in September and finish... oh...just before Christmas. December twenty-first.S: And how much is the course?R: That’s three hundred dollars, and that includes the necessary computer time.S: Uh-huh. Ok. Uh...where do I register?R: Registration is on the second and third of September between six and nine p.m. inFrost Auditorium.S: Is that the round building behind the parking lot?R: Yes, that’s the one.S: Oh, I know how to get there.

I haven’t seen you for ages. Where’ve you been?Franco: In Florida. I just got back a couple of days ago. Hey, it’s great to see you. You look terrific. I like your hair that way.5Maria: Thanks. You’re looking good yourself.Franco: Are you going this way? I’ll walk with you. Here, let me carry those books for you.So what’ve you been up to? Are you still studying English?Maria: No, not this semester. I don’t have time.Franco: How about the people from our class? Do you ever see any of them?Maria: Yeah, I see Tomiko a lot. And Tony writes once in a while.Franco: Oh, yeah? How is he?Maria: He’s fine. He’s running his family’s restaurant now.Franco: That’s terrific. I bet he’s good at it. What about the others? What ever happened to that tall African woman who looked like a model?5Maria: Oh, you mean Jeannette Kaba?Franco: Yeah. Is she still around?Maria: I don’t know. I haven’t seen her since the course was over. She and her husband were talking about going back to the Ivory Coast, though?Franco: Gee, it’s great to see you.Maria: It’s nice to see you too. So what are you going to do now? Are you going to register at NYU again?Franco: No. I’m going to stay in New York for a little while and then I’m going back to Italy.。

This area is well-known because it is a beautiful avenue that connects two major traffic circles. It is located at the bottom of a high mountain.That day, the sun was shining, but the weather suddenly changed. As we were walking between the two circles, it started raining very hard. We started to cross the boulevard to get to the second circle. It was raining so hard that we decided to go inside a restaurant instead. Ten minutes later, as we were looking out the window, we saw everyone was running away from something. At first, we did not know what was going on. We went outside the restaurant to see what was happening. People seemed shocked.A huge flood was streaming down the mountain. We were standing on a higher place, so we could see everything. We were scared. Cars, rocks, and people were floating on the water like little toys toward the little market at the south end of the circle. The height of the water was almost to the top of the trees.After a few minutes, the flood's flow was reduced, so we decided to leave the area before the water entered the street we were on.It was reported that the flood destroyed a big area and approximately 300 people were killed or disappeared that day. Later, we also learned that a dam had burst during the rain.ScriptThis is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It happened two and a half years ago. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm. For Moscow, it was very unusual, and nobody predicted this storm before ithappened.It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home alone watching TV. The window and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot. Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I wanted to close the window and went to it. I looked out the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind. I tried to close the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break.I stood up and tried to close the window again, but it was impossible because the wind was now stronger, and it was pushing the window open. I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window. It worked.When I looked outside, the tree in front of my window was flat on the ground, and there was heavy thunder and lightning. I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs, which took about 10 seconds. An athlete would have envied my speed.When I finished, I looked outside. It was terrible, and I understood how people are helpless in front of the power of nature.Suddenly, the wind stopped, and it began to hail. The ice was the size of grapes. After 10 minutes, everything stopped, and the sun shone as before. It was strange.。

A篇In the field of educational technology, some apps might be getting too smart. There are more and more apps providing help for students.PhotoMathThe new, seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem, and then receive a step-by-step solution. It is now the number one free app on the App Store. A PhotoMath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews, but the software causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement. Why? It is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homeworkPrice:FreeiHomeworkWhether you're a high school student or a college student. there's one thing you've got for sure: a lot of homework iHomework can help you keep track of all your homework. It can help you arrange it in a particular order according to types, or based on deadlines.Price:FreeWolfram AlphaWolfram Alpha is similar to PhotoMath, but it focuses on older students studying high levels of math and doesn’t support photos. The service also produces step-by-step solutions to advanced topics, making it a popular tool for college students.Homework HelperChinese Internet search company Baidu has launched(发起)an app called Homework Helper with which students can get answers to homework. Users post a picture or type their homework questions onto online forums(论坛),and those who answer the questions can win e-coins that can be used to buy devices like iPhones and laptops. The app has logged 5 million downloads, much to the concern of many parents who argue that the students spend less time thinking about challenging problems.Price: Free1. What is the problem of the app PhotoMath?A. It can’t recognize pictures.B. It doesn’t provide a step-by-step solution.C. It encourages students to use smartphones.D. It makes cheating at homework more likely to happen.2. What is the big feature of Wolfram Alpha?A. Offering services to office workers.B. Making students organize their school work.C. Helping deal with advanced math problems.D. Creating chances to discuss math online.3. What do we learn about Homework Helper?A. It is thought highly of by teachers.B. It is unpopular among Chinese students.C. Many parents think it harmful to children's study.D. Answering questions on the app wastes students’ time.B篇Earlier last month, when a young woman and a male friend were meeting up at a coffee shop in Tianjin, another man tried to chat her up and asked her for her WeChat ID.The woman politely turned down the man's request but a few days later she got to know that a video of her at the coffee shop had been posted on a short video-sharing platform. The woman was furious as the man who had tried to chat her up had not told her he was making a video nor taken her permission before uploading the video. She left a comment under the video, asking for its removal, and even reported the matter to the platform's handlers. The account that posted the video was soon disabled.However, this case is far from alone. Websites dealing in short-videos are filled with accounts that post such videos Showing “how to chat up women”. Their purpose is to post such videos for money.Taking a video of someone without their permission and uploading it violate(侵害) someone's right to privacy, but such videos are being made and uploaded online with increasing frequency. It was only because the woman in this instance complained that the video of her was removed. What if her attention had not been drawn to the video? One just has to browse these sites to find many such videos.Obviously, there are loopholes in the supervision(监管漏洞)of some short-video platforms, as they are uploading contents that violate other people’s right to privacy.Women need to watch out if a stranger tries to chat them up. If they suspect the person interacting with them might have a hidden camera somewhere, they should consider calling the police to better protect their right to privacy.4. What is the writer's intention for writing the first two paragraphs?A. Warning women of the possible harm.B. Introducing the topic of violating privacy.C. Stressing the seriousness of the phenomenonD. Commenting on the man’s unacceptable behavior.5. What is the man's most probable reason to upload the video?A. To impress viewers.B. To earn money.C. To contact the woman.D. To share the platform.6. What is the main idea of the paragraph 4?A. There are more and more privacy-violating videos online.B. It is wrong to take videos of people without their knowingC. It is of importance that we protect our right by complainingD. A number of people go to websites with improper materials.7. What is the author’s attitude to the management of some short-video platforms?B. SatisfiedD. Doubtful.C. Negative.C篇Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals' survival chances in the wild, new research suggests.Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of “appeal” in animals. He wanted to know: What species do people consider appealing? And what are the influences of being appealing on populations in the wild?In research published this month, Courchamp and other researchers listed the top 20 appealing species. Most of the animals identified as appealing were large mammals living on land. Coming in first place were tigers, followed by lions, elephants, giraffes, panthers, pandas, cheetahs, polar bears, wolves, and gorillas. However, at least half of the interviewees didn't realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened. It is paradoxical that we haven't been able to protect the species we care about the most.The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures, even as they are becoming fewer in the wild. The study suggests that too much of imagination might be creating a “virtual(虚拟的)population” of the animals in people's minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. “That would be not only something fair, but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them," Courchamp says. It could bring them positive public relation, for example. Besides, if a company's mascot(吉祥物)goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point, Courchamp says. "But not enough companies are truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on, " he adds.8. It can be inferred that the widespread images of animals in pop culture______.A. lead people to forget the less appealing animalsB. make a false impression of the animals' real situationC. raise people’s wildlife protection attention and effortsD. bring a win-win situation for both animals and companies9. What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. It is important to protect these endangered species.B. It is natural to regard the large mammals as attractive.C. It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed.D. It is strange that people’s thoughts contrast with their behavior.10. Courcha mp lists the companies’ responsibilities and their advantages by_______.A. giving examplesB. making definitionC. making comparisonsD. using numbers11. What's Courchamp's attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images?A. Neutral.C. Dissatisfied.D. Positive.D篇Sleep’s Effect on the Brain's PerformanceWhen you have a busy schedule, it can be easy to neglect your sleep because of the different items you want to get done on your checklist each day. Whether you stay up late responding to emails or cut your sleep short to exercise in the morning, lack of sleep can start to have a negative effect on the brain. Your sleep can affect your brain's performance in a few main ways.When your brain doesn't have time to rest, it can slow down your ability to think quickly, as well as your reaction time. You may have difficulty trying to stay awake and become more alert, which can affect how well you make decisions. You may find yourself taking more risks than normal.Studies also show that memory and sleep are closely linked, which means it can be difficult to recall certain details or facts if you fail to get at least seven hours of sleep each night. NREM(Non-Rapid-Eye-Movement Sleep)and REM (Rapid-Eye-Movement Sleep)are necessary for remembering basic facts to improve your efficiency and ability to perform different tasks. In particular, fragmented sleep can affect the memory even if you get seven to eight hours of sleep each night.Those who are easy to suffer from migraines(偏头痛) are at a higher risk of developing a headache if they don't get consistent, quality sleep. Studies show sleep loss also increases the risk of diabetes. It affects the body's ability to release insulin, resulting in higher blood sugar levels. Your body also has mor e difficulty determining when it’s full while eating, which can make it easy to consume more calories than you need throughout the day.There are many ways your sleep can affect the brain's performance and impact every area of your life. Scheduling your sleep and creating a restful, comfortable setting in the bedroom can make it easier to feel relaxed and recharged.12. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To stress what a busy life people live nowadays.B. To warn the readers of the importance of sleep.C. To show brain sometimes has poor performance.D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.13. What would happen if you have a slower reaction time?A. Your ability to drive safely will be influenced.B. You can realize your mistakes in a short time.C. Your ability to remember is likely to decline.D. You can't carry out a few tasks at the same time.14. What does the underlined word “fragmented” mean in the third paragraph?A. SoundB. Broken.C. Adequate.D. Dreamless.15. Why do some people suffer from diabetes?A. Sleep loss leads to the decline of insulin.B. People fail to control the amount of intake.C. People don’t know the calories they need.D. Sleep loss results in their poor appetite.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Wundttraine d many youngresear ch ers who carrie d on the traditi on of measuring reacti ons to experi menta l taskssuch as reacti on timesto sensory stimuli, attention, judgmen t and word associ ation s. The firstAmeric an psychol ogic al labora torylike Wundt’s was founde d at the JohnsHopkin s Univer sityin 1883 by G. Stanle y Hall. Hall, the first presid ent of the Americ an Psychologic al Associ ation, introdu cedSigmun d Freudto the Americ an public by transl ating Freud’s Genera l Introd uctio n to Psycho analy sis. But 1890 may standas the most signif icant date in psychology’s youth. That’s when Willia m Jamespublished what many consid er to be the most import ant psychologic al text of all time, Princi ples o f Psycho logy.Jameswas a profes sor of psychologyat Harvar d University, whereh e also studie d medici ne and taught physio l ogy. Jameswas intere stedin all the ways in whichpeople intera ct with and adapt to theirenviro nment, and so he found a placein psychol ogyf or humanconsci ousne ss, emotio n s, the self, person al values and religi on. But the Wundti an psychologis ts like G. Stanle y Hall reject ed James’ideasas unscie n tifi c and soft. They argued that psychol ogyshould be patterned afterthe model of the physic al scienc es, so they focuse d theirstudyon topi cs like sensati on and percep tion--on psycho physi cs, measuring mental reacti ons to physical stimul i. Laterthey addedinvestigati ons of how animal s acquir e conditioned responses and how humans memorize new inform ation. Thesediffer ences amongpsychologis ts in what should be studie d and how one should go abouti t are still with us a century later.Text B Liespo ttingExerci se 1 Global Unders tandi ngListen to the text for the firsttime, focuson the global idea and then choose the rightanswers to the questi ons you hear.1.

I nevertold anybod y to lie, not a single time, never. These allega tions are false. And I need to go back to work for the Americ an people. Thankyou.Pamela Meyer: Okay, what were the tellta le signs? Well firstwe heardwhat’sknownas a non-contra cteddenial. Studie s show that people who are over-determ inedin theirdenial will resort to formal rather than inform al langua ge. We also hearddistan cinglangua ge: “thatwoman”. We know that liarswill uncons cious ly distan ce themse lvesfrom theirsubjec t usinglangua ge as theirtool. Now if Bill Clinto n had said, “Well, to tell you the truth...” or Richar d Nixon’sfavori te, “Inallcandor ...” he wouldhave been a dead giveaw ay for any lies potter than knowsthat qualif yinglangua ge, asit’scalled, qualif yinglangua ge like that, furthe r discre ditsthe subjec t. Now if he had repeat ed the questi on in its entire ty, or if he had pepper ed his accoun t with a little too much detail-- andwe’reallreallygladhedidn’tdothat-- he wouldhave furthe r discre dited himsel f. Freudhad it right. Freudsaid, look, there’smuch more to it than speech: “Nomortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatte rs with his finger tips.” And we all do it no matter how powerf ul you are. We all chatte r with our finger tips.I’mgoingto show you Domini que Straus s-Kahn with Obamawho’schatte ringwith his finger tips.Now this brings us to our next patter n, whichis body langua ge.

Becaus e we thinkliarsfidget all the time. Well guesswhat, they’reknownto freeze theirupperbodies when t hey’relying. We thinkliarswon’tlookyouintheeyes. Well guesswhat, they look you in the eyes a little too much just to compen satefor that myth. We thinkwarmth and smiles convey honest y, sincer ity. But a traine d lie spotte r can spot a fake smilea mile away. Can you all spot the fake smilehere? You can consci ously contra ct the muscle s in your cheeks. But the real smile’sintheeyes, thecrow’sfeetoftheeyes.

Why do they do that? Well we all do the same thing. We rehear se our words, but we rarely rehear se our gestur es. Wesay“yes”, we shakeour heads“no”.

(1)But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them while you go to work is getting more expensive by the year.Earlier this month, it was reported that the cost of enrolling an infant or small kid at a childcare center rose 3% in 2012, faster than the overall cost of living. There are now large strips of the country where daycare for an infant costs more than a tenth of the average married couple's income.This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is a somewhat puzzling one. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. (2)Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers make less today, in real terms, than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for up to 80% of a daycare center's expenses, one would expect flat wages to have meant flat prices.So who's to blame for higher childcare costs?Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other minute details. (3)And the stricter the regulations, the higher the costs. If it has to hire a caregiver for every two children, it can't really achieve any economics of scale on labor to save money when other expenses go up. (4)In Massachusetts, where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than $16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.Unfortunately, I don't have all the daycare-center regulations handy. But I wouldn't be surprised if as the rules have become more elaborate, prices have risen. The trade off(交换)might be worth it in some cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. (5)But certainly, it doesn't seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.1. What problem do parents of small kids have to face?A) The ever-rising childcare prices. B) The budgeting of family expenses.C) The balance between work and family. D) The selection of a good daycare center.2. What does the author feel puzzled about?A) Why the prices of childcare vary greatly from state to state.B) Why increased childcare prices have not led to better service.C) Why childcare workers' pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs.D) Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.3. What prevents childcare centers from saving money?A) Steady increase in labor costs. B) Strict government regulations.C) Lack of support from the state. D) High administrative expenses.4. Why is the average cost of childcare in Mississippi much lower than in Massachusetts?A) The overall quality of service is not as good. B) Payments for caregivers there are not as high.C) Living expenses there are comparatively low. D) Each teacher is allowed to care for more kids.5. What is the author’s view on daycare service?A)Caregivers should receive regular professional training. B) Less elaborate rules about children might lower costs. C) It is crucial to strike a balance between quality and costs. D) It is better for different states to learn from each other. elaborate[ɪ'læb(ə)rət]adj. complicated/complex/detailed/full精心制作/复杂/详尽/煞费苦心的Passage Two2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. 6-10 DDCBC(6)Alex Pang's amusing new book The Distraction Addiction addresses those of us who feel panic without a cellphone or computer. And that, he claims, is pretty much all of us. When we're not online, where we spend four months annually, we're engaged in the stressful work of trying to get online.The Distraction Addiction is not framed as a self-help book. (7)It's a thoughtful examination of the dangers of our computing overdose and a historical overview of how technological advances change consciousness. A “professional futurist”, Pang urges an ap proach which he calls “contemplative (沉思的) computing.” He asks that you pay full attention to “how your mind and body interact with computers and how your attention and creativity are influenced by technology.”Pang's first job is to free you from the common misconception that doing two things at once allows you to get more done. (8)What is commonly called multitasking is, in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmful effects on productivity are well documented. Pang doesn't advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead, he asks you to “take a more ecological (生态的) view of your relationships with technologies and look for ways devices or media may be making specific tasks easier or faster but at the same time making your work and life har der.”The Distraction Addiction is particularly fascinating on how technologies have changed certain fields of labor—often for the worse. For architects, (9)computer-aided design has become essential but in some ways has cheapened the design process. As one architect puts it,(9)“Architecture is first and foremost about thinking...and drawing is a more productive way of thinking” than computer-aided design. Somewhat less amusing are Pang's solutions for kicking the Internet habit. (10)He recommends the usual behavior-modification approaches, familiar to anyone who has completed a quit-smoking program. Keep logs to study your online profile and decide what you can knock out, download a program like Freedom that locks you out of your browser, or take a “digital Sabbath (安息日)”: “Unless you're a reporter or emergency-department doctor, you'll discover that your world doesn't fall apart when you go offline.”6. Alex Pang's new book is aimed for readers who________.A) find their work online too stressful B) go online mainly for entertainmentC) are fearful about using the cellphone or computer D) can hardly tear themselves away from the Internettear oneself away from 舍不得离开,爱不释手7. What does Alex Pang try to do in his new book?A) Offer advice on how to use the Internet effectively. B) Warn people of the possible dangers of internet use.C) Predict the trend of future technological development. D) Examine the influence of technology on the human mind.8. What is the common view on multitasking?A) It enables people to work more efficiently. B) It is a way quite similar to switch-tasking.C) It makes people's work and life even harder. D) It distracts people's attention from useful work.9. What does the author think of computer-aided design?A) It considerably cuts down the cost of building design. B) It somewhat restrains architects' productive thinking. C) It is indispensable in architects' work process. D) It can free architects from laborious drawing.restrain /rɪˈstreɪn/vt. control/stop/prevent抑/控制;约束;制止10. What is Ales Pang's recommendation for Internet users?A) They use the Internet as little as possible. B) They keep a record of their computer use time.C) They exercise self-control over their time online. D) They entertain themselves online on off-days only.3。
