A new generation addiction(上癮) is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism（網(wǎng)癮）, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.

Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has seriously affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log(寫日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites.

They become hooked(著迷) on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.

They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.

Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from society and live with their virtual(虛擬的) friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real life friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.

1.The main idea of the passage is about ________.

A. the popularity of weboholism

D. the cause of weboholism

2.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagers

B. students can hardly balance real and virtual life

C. The problem will be getting more and more serious later.

D. It leads to the development of the web.

Teenagers around the world can be glad with the news that their brain deserves the blame when parents’ orders go ignored while they tap on their smartphones.

A new scientific study from the University College London has found that humans may suffer temporarily deaf when they’re simultaneously focusing on something visual. Research found that the 13 volunteers experienced inattentional deafness to the normal-volume sounds playing in the background as their visual tasks became increasingly difficult. ‘We found that when volunteers were performing the demanding visual task, they were unable to hear sounds that they would normally hear,’ study co-author Maria Chait said in a statement. ‘The brain scans showed that people were not only ignoring or filtering out the sounds, they were not actually hearing them in the first place.’

The findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that the visual and auditory processing centers that make sense of the sights and sounds that surround us share limited resources.

Inattentional deafness is a common everyday experience and the study explains why, according to UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience Professor Nilli Lavie, a co-author of the study. ‘This could also explain why you might not hear your bus or train stop being announced if you’re concentrating on your phone, book, or newspaper. ’‘If you try to talk to someone focusing on a book, game, or television program and don’t receive a response, they are not necessarily ignoring you, they simply might not hear you! ’ she said.

Loud sounds—like ambulance sirens—will still be able to break through, but some situations could become potentially dangerous when the quieter ones go unheard, according to Medical Daily. ‘This has more serious implications in situations such as the operating theater, when a surgeon concentrating on their work might not hear the equipment beeping,’ Lavie said. ‘It also applies to drivers concentrating on complex directions as well as cyclists and motorists who are focusing intently on something such as an advertisement or even simply an interesting-looking passerby.

1.The 13 volunteers studied in the study______

A. experienced deafness due to their inattention

B. were deaf to the normal sounds intentionally

C. can hear the normal-volume sounds when performing the demanding visual task

D. didn’t choose to ignore the normal sounds on purpose

2. If a person concentrates on a book______

A. you cannot expect him to respond to you

B. he doesn’t want to give you a reply

C. he wants you to be away from him

D. he may get angry because of your disturbance

3.How does the inattentional deafness affect our life according to the last paragraph?

A. It may lead to people losing friends.

B. It may cause danger in some fields.

C. It may make something more complex.

D. It may increase one’s attraction.

4.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

A. The benefit of the inattentional deafness

B. The expectation from young teenagers.

C. Concentrating on something visual can cause short deaf ears

D. Inattentional deafness is not a good thing

Most airlines go all out to ensure their passengers have the best possible flight experience. Now, Europe’s low-budget airline, easyJet, wants to extend the positive experience beyond the plane ride with “Sneakairs”—smart shoes that allow visitors to explore new cities and towns without ever looking at a map.

To transform Sneakairs from an ordinary shoe to a tour guide, all the wearer has to do is enter his or her desired destination into the easyJet smartphone app. A built-in GPS will determine the wearer’s starting location while the Google Maps navigation(導航) tool will help chart the best route. Whenever a change of direction is necessary, the app will communicate with the appropriate shoe via the Bluetooth and cause it to vibrate(振動). For example, if the wearer needs to turn right, he/she will feel the sensation in the right shoe. Should the user miss the turn, the smart shoes will both vibrate at the same time, reminding him/her to change course.

Visitors that wander off the suggested path or decide to take a break for a cup of coffee or a meal have nothing to worry about. The smart app will automatically determine the new location and chart out a new route, once the desired destination is reached. Sneakairs will vibrate three times to inform the user of the arrival and then go back to being ordinary shoes—until their navigation services are needed again!

Sneakairs is certainly not the first navigation shoe in the market. However, easyJet is the first airline to offer them to passengers just as they are about to land in an unknown city. However, before Sneakairs can go mainstream, the easyJet team still needs to make some adjustments. Among the challenges that need to be addressed is the smart shoe’s three-hour battery life, which is hardly enough for a tourist to catch all the delights a new or town has to offer!

1.The airline easyJet designed Sneakairs in order to ________.

A. help people exercise with better shoes

B. attract more people to choose easyJet

C. make sure their passengers have the best possible flight experience

D. provide passengers with further pleasant experience beside their flight

2.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?

A. How Sneakairs works.

B. How visitors choose routes.

C. How users avoid getting lost.

D. What users should pay attention to.

3.What might easyJet do to improve its smart shoes?

A. Bring down their cost.

B. Add more functions.

C. Develop more types.

D. Make the battery last longer.

4.Where does this text probably come from?

A. A commercial ad.B. A science report.

C. A tourist map.D. An airline guide.

Albert Hofmann was a Swiss Scientist who was fascinated by nature. This led him to a career in chemistry in which he sought answers to his uncertainties. He worked at Sandoz Laboratories where he nurtured his research work, and there he made a lot of success by working with various plants and changing them into something useful. He became famous when he became the first person to produce lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (迷幻藥). In addition, he was also the first person to taste it and learn about its hallucinogenic (勾起幻覺的) effects. He was deeply connected to the nature and argued that LSD, besides being useful for psychiatry(精神病學), could also be used to promote awareness of mankind’s place in nature. However, he was disappointed that his discovery was being carelessly used as a drug for entertainment. Because of his discovery, LSD fans have fondly called him “The father of LSD”. Besides carrying out his scientific experiments, he also authored numerous books and more than 100 scientific articles. In 2007, he featured in a list of the 100 greatest living geniuses(天才), published by The Telegraph Newspaper.

Childhood & Early Life

Albert Hofmann was born in Baden, Switzerland, on January 11, 1906. He was the eldest of four children. His father was a poor toolmaker in a factory and they lived in a rented apartment. He spent much of his childhood outdoors, and grew up with a very deep connection with nature.

He had mind-blowing experiences in childhood, wherein nature was changed in magical ways that he didn’t understand. These experiences caused questions in his mind, and chemistry was the scientific field which allowed him to understand them.

He studied chemistry at Zurich University, and his main interest is the chemistry of plants and animals. At 23, he earned his Ph. D with honors.
