27、   Life in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That's what experts in human interaction（交往）are debating（争论) after a new Stanford University survey has been published.

According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for reallife relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web's influence on daily activities. 36% of those people are online for more than five hours a week. "As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating(孤立的) effect on society," says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.

Scholars (学者)and Web lovers criticized（批评）the study for stretching its data to make the "isolating" point. While 13% of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60% reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that email is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads(网虫) spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via emails, "that's a move towards greater connectedness," says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.

This isn't the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families' Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more "talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed," says Robert Kraut.

"It's true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented," says Thomas Putnam.

As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.

【1】Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?

A.Robert Kraut. B.Paul Resnick.

C.Thomas Putnam. D.Amitay Etzioni.

【2】The underlined word "This" in Para. 4 refers to _______.

A.the study conducted by Stanford University

B.the survey made by the University of Michigan

C.the conclusion in a report written in 1998

D.the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone

【3】From the passage we learn that _______.

A.watching TV used to take time away from staying online

B.36 % of Web users spend more than five hours a week online

C.the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effect

D.the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions

28、When you step on an escalator (自动扶梯), do you stand to one side to let others pass? When someone in the room fans himself with a piece of paper, do you open a window? If you ask someone to hang out with you and they stare at you blankly, do you withdraw the invitation? If you don’t do any of these things, I have some unfortunate news: you cannot “read the air”.

Knowing the unspoken rules governing social life requires a comprehensive understanding of your environment, whatever its setting. It’s a skill that’s valuable anywhere in the world—but in Japan, it is raised to another level. Reading the air—kuuki o yomu in Japanese—is a constant exercise. Misreading the air can blow business deals or ruin relationships.

Rochelle Kopp, who runs a cross-cultural training firm Japan Intercultural Consulting, says that while all nations have varying degrees of indirect communication, in Japan the phenomenon is more prominent in society. For example, if you’re talking to a client who has long since lost interest, you risk being labeled KY—a pejorative Japanese slang term that stands for “kuuki ga yomenai”, or “unable to read the air”.

A big part of “reading the air” is picking up on non-verbal cues. David Matsumoto, a psychology professor at San Francisco State University, studies micro-expressions: tiny involuntary facial tics that can give away a person’s true emotions. When, for example, a client at work says they’re happy with the job you’re doing, a very subtle lip twitch or eyebrow raise could mean they’re not telling you the truth. Noticing micro-expressions, along with other non-verbal communication, is important in any interaction, no matter where you are.

“Silence is one non-verbal signal. So is shifting of posture. A social smile could be yet another signal,” says Matsumoto. “All of these are part of the non-verbal package that contributes to that contextual meaning.” Matsumoto runs Humintell, a company that provides workshops on how to get better at reading micro-expressions and other non-verbal signals. Others provide such services, too; in Tokyo’s Toranomon business district, researcher Kenji Shimizu runs the Institute for Science and Being Sensitive to the Situation.

Like Matsumoto, Shimizu teaches people how to master micro-expressions. Shimizu uses a system developed by U.S. psychologist Paul Ekman, who coined the term and described the subtle facial changes as “involuntary emotional leakage”. “If you notice someone’s disgust (厌恶) —wrinkling around the nose—or anger—brows lowering, eyes widening, lips pressing—and yet those expressions are masked by smiles, you may want to figure out their actual thoughts.” Shimizu says.

【1】According to the article, which of the following statements about “reading the air” is TRUE?

A．The culture of “reading the air” only exists in Japan.

B．It is the skill of understanding others’ unspoken “language”.

C．It is the key to maintaining good interpersonal relationships.

D．The skill is all about picking up other people’s micro-expressions.

【2】The underlined word “pejorative” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“________”.

A．disapproving

B．approving

C．unfamiliar

D．familiar

【3】What can be learnt from Kenji Shimizu’s words?

A．A social smile is the best way to hide your emotion.

B．Micro-expressions can give away the complete contents of a person’s emotions.

C．The non-verbal signals on a person’s face can reveal his or her true intentions.

D．You can improve your ability to read other people’s emotions with practice.

29、What will restaurants look like in the future？What would your dinner taste like if a robot cooked it？A robot restaurant in Tianjin may give you the answers.

Entering the restaurant，one can order dishes by simply scanning（扫描）the QR codes on the table. There are over 40 choices of dishes. After taking the order，“robot cooks”prepare dishes using fixed time，temperature and ingredients designed by famous Chinese cooks.

These eye-catching technologies have received wide praise from customers. "The dishes taste surprisingly good. I couldn't believe that they were made by robots，especially dishes that were difficult to cook” one customer said.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was eleven years old, I moved to Tampa, Florida. My parents traveled for a living, so Aunt Emily took care of me while they were away. One rainy morning, there was an old lady who was dressed in a bright orange coat carrying a rubbish bag and a stick. “What’s that old lady doing?” I asked Emily, pointing out the window to the street in front of the house.

Hearing my question, Emily answered, “She’s picking up rubbish around here for fun.” “Oh,” I answered. “Interesting… Why would someone think picking up rubbish was fun?” For a long time, often saw that old lady—rain or shine—on my way to school. In the beginning, I thought she was crazy to pick up rubbish. However, I finally smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.

Later, when I moved to college, I’d see rubbish in the grass and feel really angry about it. I’d think, “Why isn’t anyone picking up rubbish? People are so unconcerned!” But shortly after that, I said to myself, “Why do I think picking up rubbish is someone else’s duty?” And I couldn’t walk past trash without feeling guilty (内疚的).

So while walking in the college, I began picking up rubbish and made sure the campus was in better shape than I previously found it. My behavior influenced some students. They started to help out.

Like me, they also picked up rubbish whenever they noticed it. And our college became more beautiful. Seeing it, I began to think, “If I could pick up rubbish outside the college—in other places of the town, it may make a big difference to the town.”

But picking up rubbish in front of many people outside the college needs courage. It could be embarrassing. But it was the right thing to do. I decided to try it.
