Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee,according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not.Study author Brent Coker said,“Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee’s attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university’s website.“Having a short break,such as a quick surfing of the Internet,helps the mind to rest itself,leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work,and as a result,increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.
According to the study of 300 workers,70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours.Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products,reading online news,playing online games and watching videos.“Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos,using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker.“That’s not always a good idea.”
However,Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度),or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office.“Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without,” he said.
1.What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show
A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C.Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.
D.The Internet is becoming more and more important in people’s life.
2.What would Brent Coker most probably agree according to paragraph 3
A.The longer a person’s mind rests,the better attention he will have.
B.Surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivity.
C.Workers should have a long break during office hours.
D.Workers should let their minds rest now and then.
3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities
A.Watching videos.
B.Reading online news.
C.Reading online novels.
D.Playing online games.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
B.Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
C.Most people don’t surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D.People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.
B
The idea behind Meta is to make us feel connected all the time.But in my research,I’ve found that the truth is quite different.
Technology,it turns out,has made being alone seem like a problem that needs solving.When young people are alone,even for a minute or two,they feel the need to connect,to get on Meta or some other social networks and chat.But in connecting,they often end up feeling more isolated.Why Because by being in constant (不断的) connection,they lose the ability to feel satisfied with their own company (独处).
Sherry Turkle,a professor,says that Meta can help us keep in touch with our friends,but we too often use it instead of spending face-to-face time with them.And since we feel the need to keep up with them online,we don’t have moments of loneliness where we can collect our thoughts and learn how to be comfortable being alone.
Jane,a former student of mine,who is back in New York after living abroad for ten years,told me that Meta helps her a lot.The first time she moved back to New York from abroad,she felt disconnected from her family and friends.Now,because of lots of photos and information updates (更新),she knows what is happening with her friends all the time.
“In fact,if you are lonely in real life,you will be lonely online as well.”
—by Sree Sreenivasan,Chief Digital Officer
5.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 2
A.Free. B.Lonely.
C.Careless. D.Selfish.
6.According to Sherry Turkle,we should .
A.feel satisfied with our life
B.avoid using social networks
C.keep in touch with our friends
D.enjoy moments of loneliness
7.What’s Jane’s attitude towards Meta
A.Hopeful.
B.Doubtful.
C.Thankful.
D.Regretful.
8.What’s the purpose of the text .
A.To educate.
B.To discuss.
C.To persuade.
D.To introduce.
Ⅴ.七选五
Many people are suffering in silence from bad Internet connections,unaware that they can easily increase their Internet speed with a few simple changes to how they organize their devices(设备). 1
Put your router(路由器) in the right place.
We all know that the closer you are to the router,the better your Internet speed will be.Wi-Fi can’t travel through thick walls or large objects. 2 The best places to put routers are:In central locations and high up with no obstacles.
3
Wireless routers can also be easily affected by other electrical goods.To test this,run a speed test and then try switching off all electrical devices except your router and running another test to check any difference.Items like cordless telephones,bulbs,baby monitors,TVs and screens can all affect your broadband speed if they are too near the router.
Use a wireless booster (增压器).
Wireless boosters are things that can supercharge your signal across your home.This is normally done by people in large homes or in properties with blackspots for signals.But these boosters only extend the signal you have. 4 Your broadband supplier might send you a free booster if you can’t get the signal in certain rooms.Turn off Wi-Fi devices not being used.
The more devices that are connected to your Wi-Fi,the slower the overall speed.Switching devices off can help get better connectivity. 5
A.Use wires instead of Wi-Fi.
B.They can’t improve it.
C.Keep routers away from other devices.
D.Where you put your router can make a huge difference.
E.Here are some free ways to improve your broadband speed.
F.So try turning off the Wi-Fi reception when these items are not in use.
G.Plugging your computer into the router directly can greatly improve speed.

4.B 根据本段标题Use a wireless booster以及空前的“But these boosters only extend the signal you have.”可知,在扩大信号范围方面可以使用无线增压器。B项They can’t improve it.中的They指代these boosters,强调的是这些增压器只能延长信号,不能提升网速,承接上文。故选B项。

The man who invented the World Wide Web a few decades ago is calling for major changes to make it better for humans.In an open letter published on Tuesday,Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world’s population.
Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and made life easier for millions of people.Actually,it also has offered opportunities to groups who traditionally cannot hear a new voice in society.However,he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes (犯罪).
“Against the backdrop of news stories about how the web is misused,it’s understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.
Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation.He is looking for help from governments,companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans.His actual plan is called the “Contract(合同)for the Web”.
Under this contract,governments are called on to take steps to make sure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected.Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web.In addition,companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.
The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that there is rich,quality information for everyone.Besides,people should seek to “ build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality”.“The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Berners-Lee added,“making big changes will not be easy,but will be very well worth it in the end.”
1.What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web
A.It does more harm than good.
B.It stops the progress of humans.
C.It is his greatest regret.
D.It needs improving.
2.What’s wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee
A.It is misunderstood by all people.
B.It is misused for bad purposes.
C.It blocks out a new voice in society.
D.It is expensive for half the world’s population.
3.What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”
A.Put technology first.
B.Create materials for the web.
C.Popularize the Internet.
D.Make the Internet free of charge.
4.What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee’s opinion
A.Be responsible for it.
B.Absolutely reject it.
C.Completely rely on it.
D.Be unconcerned about it.

Do you use Meta,MySpace or Twitter If so,then you are part of a social network.Social networking sites allow us to see our social connections.
When you create a profile (a description of somebody that gives useful information) on a social networking site,you open up a number of possible social connections.You can look up old friends,make new friends,and share music,photos and videos with them.
Setting up a social networking account is simple.You just create and post a personal profile.For this you need a login name,and an e-mail account.Then you add some personal information such as name,age,sex,location,interests,etc.You can also add a photo of yourself.You can control who sees your profile.The next step is to look for new ones,and add them to your network.Then you can search your friends’ connections for anyone else you’d like to add to your network.
Different social networking sites allow people to communicate in different ways.There are sites that allow you to enlarge your personal community such as Meta.Then there are ones that include media sharing,such as YouTube,where members upload and look at other people’s pictures and videos.There are also ones that specialise in sharing music,such as Last FM,and finally,ones that allow bloggers to form online communities,such as Live Journal.
The latest trend in social networking is to create your own independent social panies do this to make their products sell well and people do it to create their own communities.

At the present time,the Internet is a major part of our lives.It’s always in our hands or pockets.Whatever we are doing is somehow linked(连接) to the Internet.We start finding our connections online as well,which is quite impressive.We find a person on a social media platform (社交媒体平台),see we have a shared interest and start chatting!
Online friendships in the past were doubted and not considered reliable because you didn’t know who was behind the screen.But now,when we can go shopping online,clear bills in online banks,and virtually attend schools,why can’t we find some real friends online
With online friends,there are several advantages.When we find something catchy in someone — the very first quality of our online friend,we only then encourage ourselves to find ways to talk to them.We can share with them our everyday things,and what’s better than texting our friends our secrets We can be present together with them on interested forums(论坛).We can share looks just through a click.And the best part is that we can shoot them a real quick message whenever we need their expert advice.
With all these strengths of an online friend,also come some weak points which make some people afraid to find their friends online.Some people believe that the person they are talking to on the screen is not real or trying to get information about their private life.They feel uncomfortable sharing and chatting with a person who they’ve never met in real life.Another problem that comes in the way of online friends is hanging out.People can’t really hang out with their online friends.The other problem is miscommunication,which sometimes leads to the end of a friendship.
Despite all these problems,online company is a perfect form of relationship between two or more.After all,we would notice these problems in any other kind of relationship or friendship.Miscommunication or a trust issue is always present even in face-to-face communication.

Ⅴ.七选五
Electronic media such as email,instant messaging,video games,and television,has influenced almost every aspect of our daily lives. 1 While some media exposure can be useful and informative (增进知识的),too much screen time takes away from other activities.
Screen time becomes a particularly important issue when discussing children’s use of media.Experts now recommend children’s screen time should be limited to no more than 2 hours per day,including television and non-school related computer usage. 2
Unfortunately,it appears that this recommendation is not followed in most families.One recent study found that children between the ages of 8 and 18 spend nearly 45 hours per week watching television,playing video games,and surfing the Internet. 3 Besides,much of the electronic media that makes up children’s screen time is filled with inappropriate (不合适的) contents.
4 First,never allow televisions and computers in your child’s bedroom.Avoid using television,video games,and computer time as a reward for good behavior.Provide plenty of other recreational activities for your child to enjoy and set a good example for your child with regard to your own media usage.It’s important to serve as a model of healthy electronics use for your children. 5 Keeping the TV on for background noise all the time and scrolling (滚屏) through your phone any time will teach your child bad habits.
A.Most children know more about electronics than adults do.
B.Kids easily grow dependent on technology for entertainment.
C.Parents should think of ways to manage their children’s screen time.
D.This is more time than they spend doing homework,or reading for pleasure.
E.However,the effect of being all the time in front of a screen is not entirely positive.
F.So before you watch your favorite TV series,remember to set a good example.
G.Children under the age of 2 are generally encouraged to have no screen time at all.

Ⅵ.Recently,we conducted a survey on short-sightedness among the fifty students in our class.According to the survey,twenty students have good eyesight,while thirty students are short-sighted.We found that eighteen students became short-sighted due to watching TV or sitting in front of a computer for a long time.Nine students said their poor posture led to their short-sightedness.Three other students had other reasons for their poor eyesight.Thus,the main reason for short-sightedness is that some students don’t use their eyes properly.
Our eyes are very important to us.We should protect them all the time.We should not watch TV or surf the Internet for hours without breaks.We should also read in a correct way.Furthermore,doing eye exercises is good for our eyes.
