| The Internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village-you can make new friends all around the world.That, at least, is what it promised us.The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account.The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the Internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind. The problem is twofold (双重的). First, there is a limit on  the number of people we can hold in mindand have a meaningful relationship with.That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain .Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them.We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what's left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline (减弱) until eventually it dies in  to "someone I once knew". This is not, of course, to say that the Internet doesn't serve a socially valuable function.Of course it does.But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world. In one sense, that's a good thing.But it also has a disadvantage.If you continue to invest in your ol  dfriends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you aren't using your time to make new friends where you now live.And I suspect that probably isn't the best use of your time.Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face.The Internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won't stop that happening eventually. 1. What is stressed in the first paragraph? A. The present situation of the Internet. B. The difficulty in communication on the Internet. C. The socially valuable function of the Internet. D. The role of the human mind in the Internet communication. 2. The underlin  ed word "engagement" in the second paragraph probably means" ________ ". A. appointment B. connection C. interview D. agreement 3. According to the passage, the author holds the view that ______. A. the Internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised B. the Internet determines the quality of social relationships C. the Internet greatly increases the size of social circles D. the Inter  net communication is no less effective than the facetoface talk4. What is the author's attitude towards the use of the Internet to strengthen relationships? A. He is uncertain about it. B. He is hopeful of it. C. He approves of it. D. He doubts it. |

| Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it.It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport.The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds.This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle(奇迹)it is. Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals.Of course, some animals have powers just as amaz  ing.Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year.In Nature's talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act.If we reduce it to basic terms, it's an ability for communicating information to others,by varying sounds we make as we breathe out. Not that we don't have other powers of communication.Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy,or disappointment.The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad.This is socalled "body language". Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals.Similarly, the bowed head or dropping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering. Such a means of communica  tion is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display.Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history. 1. According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is________. A. our ability to use language B. the miracle of technology C. the amazing power of nature D. our ability to make noises with mouth 2. What feature o  f "body language" mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?A. Lifting heads when sad. B. Keeping long faces when angry. C. Bristling hair when ready to attack. D. Bowing heads when willing to obey. 3. What can be inferre  d from Paragraph 3?A. Body language is unique to humans. B. Animals express emotions just as humans do. C. Humans have other powers of communication. D. Humans are no different from animals to some degree. 4. This passage is mainly about________. A. the development of body language B. the special role humans play in nature C. the power to convey information to others D. the difference between humans and animals in language use |
