27、Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machines?

Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?

It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce（稀缺的） resources.

The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so ―yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industrial society has led those countries to neglect（忽略） their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.

Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the digital divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I amnot saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative（别的，可替代的） uses of their money.

In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary（革命的） that now we live in a borderless world. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.

Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.

【1】Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to   .

A.a lack of confidence in technology B.a slow progress in technology

C.a conflict of public opinions D.a waste of limited resources

【2】The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should   .

A.take people's essential needs into considerations B.make their programmes attractive to people

C.ensure that each child gets financial support D.provide more affordable internet facilities

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.People should be encouraged to make more donations. B.Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.

C.Making right career choices is crucial to personal success. D.Economic policies should follow technological trends.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A.The influences of ICT B.The trends of technology

C.The fascination with ICT D.The use of ICT

28、   What is free and valuable? Well, air is free. It is 【1】 only valuable but necessary. Without air, you would die. Another thing that is free and important is friends. If you have friends, you 【2】 love, respect and appreciate (感激) them. They are always there for you. What else? Well, family. I love my family.

People in our family get along very well with one another. I appreciate their advice when I ask for it. They never【3】 me down. And education is free. You can study and improve yourself at the library for free. You might 【4】 to pay to go to a high school or college, but you can always go to the library and learn for free. Think about it. The best things in life are free. 【5】 I right?

29、   Ask your foreign friends or teachers whether they experienced “culture shock” upon moving to China. ________ are, they did.

According to a survey, eighty-five percent of international students have had culture shock. Culture shock is a broad term for the series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places, for the surrounding environment is so different from that where they grow up. It’s usually most extreme for those who can’t speak the language of the place to which they have ________, or for those who aren’t familiar with the social rules, such as what you should do if you meet people for the first time. Both of these things happened to me in China when I moved there in 2011.

So as you can imagine, naturally, I went through the four well-known ________ of culture shock: honeymoon, distress, re-integration and autonomy.

When I arrived at first, I was ________ and optimistic, I thought I was well-prepared for this new life in the new country, and I was eager to find out what I was going to experience later. But quickly I became upset by the cultural differences I encountered, missing how things ________ back home.

By the end of my first year, I had totally lost my self-confidence; I was a bitter, clumsy and sensitive person, and I blamed China for making me that way.

Then, in my second year, I started to ________ some language skills, and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends, and with their help, I tried hard to learn to appreciate the beauty of Chinese history and culture, which was the thing I always wanted to achieve. To my delight, I succeeded in________ an interest in them. And afterwards, I learned to consider myself a confident and happy laowai.

Today I’m back in the US, where I’m pursuing a PhD at a university in my hometown. It’s been a little ________ to readjust to life in my home country. I suffered at first from “reverse” culture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.

I started out feeling independent and self-confident, before slowly realizing that I knew my country much less well than I used to. I’d complain loudly about little things, like how I could no longer shout “fuwuyuan!” to get waiters’ ________ to let them know that I was ready to order in a restaurant.

But eventually, I came to realize that what I had thought was my “home” had become an entirely new place while I’d been away. That, by itself, was exciting.

【1】A.Chances B.Experiences C.Friends D.Facts
