In the earlier days of computer history, there was a quite widespread concern that compute

rs would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of the functions of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons might be pushed, or that a computer might simply fail to work properly.

Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something had gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a device that can take the place of fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

The main purpose of this passage is______.

A.to look back to the early days of computers

B.to explain what technical problems may occur with computers

C.to warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers

D.to discourage unnecessary investment in computers

Spring is usually prime food time for some 1,200 polar bears along Canada's Hudson Bay. Ea
ch year they plunder the bay's ice floes, smash open the snow caves of seals, and stuff themselves on seal pups. But in recent years the bears' feast has turned into slimmer pickings. Why?

Temperatures at Hudson Bay have risen by one half degree Fahrenheit every decade since 1950. Winter ice on the bay melts three weeks earlier than it did just 25 years ago, which means three fewer weeks of polar bear mealtime. Result: Polar bears are 10 percent thinner and produce 10 percent fewer cubs than they did 20 years ago. And though climatologists hotly debate the causes behind Earth's Arctic meltdown, "these changes are startling and unexpected,' says James McCarthy, co-leader of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The plight of polar bears is just the tip to the iceberg when it comes to mounting evidence of global warming. "There's definitely a stark contrast with the way things were at the start of the 20th century," says atmospheric scientist Leonard Druyan, of Columbia University. Recent data show the volume of Arctic sea ice has shrunk 20 percent since the 1950s; glaciers around the world are melting at rapidly increasing rates. Rivers and lakes in North America, Asia, and Europe now freeze about nine days later and thaw 10 days earlier than they did a century ago.

Most scientists believe the only effective strategy to halt global warming is to drastically reduce emissions of powerful air pollutants like carbon dioxide, which accounts for two-thirds of all greenhouse gases. In the last 150 years, the surging use of fossil fuels coal, oil, and natural gas -- has released 270 billion tons of carbon into the air in the form. of carbon dioxide. Fortunately, oceans, plants, and soils absorb more than half of all atmospheric carbon dioxide -- without them world temperatures might have already soared at an alarming rate.

By saying "Spring is usually prime food time for 1,200 polar bears"? (Line I, Para. 1), the author means that ______.

A.spring is usually a good time for polar bears to carry out their mating rituals

B.the polar bears usually eat a lot in the spring

C.spring is generally a good time to hunt polar bears

D.polar bears usually hibernate in the spring

One argument used to support the idea that employment will continue to be the dominant for
m. of work, and that employment will eventually become available for all who want it, is that working time will continue to fall. People in jobs will work fewer hours in the day, fewer days in the week, fewer weeks in the year, and fewer years in a lifetime, than they do now. This will mean that more jobs will be available for more people. This, it is said, is the way we should set about restoring full employment.

There is no doubt that something of this kind will happen. The shorter working week, longer holidays, earlier retirement, job-sharing -- these and other ways of reducing the amount of time people spend on their jobs -- are certainly likely to spread. A mix of part-time paid work and part-time unpaid work is likely to become a much more common work pattern than today, and a flexi-life pattern of work -- involving paid employment at certain stages of life, but not at others -- will become widespread. But it is surely unrealistic to assume that this will make it possible to restore full employment as the dominant form. of work.

In the first place, so long as employment remains the overwhelmingly important form. of work and source of income for most people that it is today, it is very difficult to see how reductions in employees' working time can take place on a scale sufficiently large and at a pace sufficiently fast to make it possible to share out the available paid employment to everyone who wants it. Such negotiations as there have recently been, for example in Britain and Germany, about the possibility of introducing a 35-hour working week, have highlighted some of the difficulties. But, secondly, if changes of this kind were to take place at a pace and on a scale sufficient to make it possible to share employment among all who wanted it, the resulting situation --in which most people would not be working in their jobs for more than two or three short days a week -- could hardly continue to be one in which employment was still regarded as the only truly valid form. of work. There would be so many people spending so much of their time on other activities, including other forms of useful work, that the primacy of employment would be bound to be called into question, at least to some extent.

The author uses the negotiations in Britain and Germany as an example to

A.support reductions in employees' working time.

B.indicate employees are unwilling to share jobs.

C.prove the possibility of sharing paid employment.

D.show that employment will lose its dominance.

Loneliness has been linked to depression and other health problems. Now, a study says it c
an also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25% more likely to do the same. Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also grow like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.

The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.

The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.

For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.

Researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard and the University of California, San Diego, did the study. The findings appeared last month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about 17 days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about 5%, or two and a half days.

Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends—and more likely that society will reject them.

John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.

The aim should be to aggressively create what he calls a "protective barrier" against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.

Besides loneliness, which of the following can also spread among people?

A.Friendship.

B.Happiness.

C.Depression.

D.Smoking.

回答题。When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merel

回答题。

When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold.Butwhen the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor.Nearly two months later the girl wasstill sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted worldwide attention.

Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from" put a clothes pin on her nose"to "have her stand on herhead" poured in.But nothing did any good.Finally, she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital whereDr.Leo Kanner, one of the world&39;s top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling (难以理解的)problem with great speed.

He used neither drugs nor surgery, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in anancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze.It was all in her mind, hesaid,a view which Aristotle, some 3,000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.

Dr.Kanner simply gave a modem psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too muchsneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the girl accordingly.

"Less than two days in a hospital room,a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment,and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to anex-sneezer," he reported.

Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement.Dr.Kanner has collectedthousands of superstitions concerning it.The most universal one is the custom of begging for theblessing of God when a person sneezes--a practice Dr.Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that asneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit.Strangely, people over theworld still continue the custom with the traditional, "God bless you" or its equivalent.

When scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any con-scious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done.When you need to sneeze you sneeze, thisbeing nature&39; s clever way of getting rid of an annoying object from the nose.The object may be justsome dust in the nose which nature is striving to remove.

The girl sneezed continuously because she__________. 查看材料

A.was ill

B.was mentally ill

C.had heavy mental burden

D.had attracted world-wide attention

Some expressions describe people who are important or who at least think they are. One suc
h expression is "big wig". In the 17th century, important men in Europe began to wear false hair called wigs. As years passed, wigs began to get bigger. The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was.

The more important he was or thought he was, the bigger the wig he wore. Some wigs were so large that they covered the man's shoulders or back. Today the expression "big wig" is used to make fun of a person who feels important. People never tell someone he is a big wig. They only use the expression behind his back. "Big wheel" is another way to describe an important person. A big wheel may be the head of a company, a political leader, a famous movie star. They are big wheels because they are powerful. What they do affects many people. Big wheel gives the orders and other people carry them out.

As in many machines, a big wheel makes the little wheel turn. "Big wheel" became a popular expression after World War Ⅱ. It probably comes from an expression used for many Years by people who fit parts of the cars and trucks. They said a person whirled a big wheel if he was important or had influence.

The top of something is the highest part of something. So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person. The expression is "top banana". A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show.

The funniest comedian is called the "top banana". The next is second banana, and so on. Why a "banana"? A comedy act in earlier days often included the part where one of the comedians would hit others over the head with a soft object. The object was shaped like the yellow food — the banana. "Top banana" is still used mainly in show business. Yet the expression can also be used to describe a top person in any area,

A "kingpin" is another word for an important person. The expression comes from the game of bowling. The kingpin is the No. one pin. If it is hit correctly by the bowling ball, the kingpin will make all the other nine pins fall. And that is the object of the game. So the most important person in a project or business is the kingpin. If the kingpin is removed, the project or business is likely to fail. Kingpin is often used to describe an important criminal or the leader of a criminal gang. A newspaper may report, for example, that the police have arrested the suspected kingpin of a car stealing operation.

This passage is mainly about______.

A.important people

B.how to describe important people

C.important expressions

D.expressions for important people
