to each other.
1 was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and - poof! -1 was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation.
The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact.
The telephone is used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent.
Recently l was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel？ Every advance in communication technology is a setback(退步) to the closeness of human interaction.
With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, Ijust leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional Distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station？ Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact？
Making a deposit at the bank？ Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you Ctin put your Ctird into the ATM l More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation orbeing relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk.
The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier. I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account.
Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there isno one in the room to hear you crying out Gee whiz ？

The dairy (乳制品) department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different jars of low fat milk. One says" 1 percent (1% )" fat on the container. The second says" 99 percent (99%) fat free". The third says" Low Fat" in big letters and" 1%" in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the same. However in this store the three containers of milk don't cost the same. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most.
Most of the food in supermarkets is very pleasing. It all says "Buy me! " to the customers. The expensive meat says "Buy me!" as you walk by. The expensive milk jar says "Buy me! I have less fat. "
The manager of the supermarket knows______ .
A．which customers like low fat milk
B．which customers like slow music
C．where customers enter the meat department
D．where customers come from
A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you． Let me see..． Here it is． 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at..． pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009． The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared．It's almost 25 % higher than last year's． It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that． You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months． The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there． I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration． Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality． But there's competition from synthetic products, too． You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses． That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones． To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price． But I'll have to try, I suppose.
There is usually a price for pleasure so mindless. In the case of TV golf, it is listening to the commentators analyze the players’ swings. What looks to you like a single, continuous, and not difficult act is revealed, via slow motion and a sort of virtual-chalkboard graphics, to be a sequence of intricately measured adjustments of shoulder to hip, head to arm, elbow to wrist, and so on. Where you see fluidity, the experts see geometry; what to you is nature is machinery to them—parallel lines, extended planes, points of impact. They murder to examine. Yet, apparently, these minutes and individualized measurements make all the difference between being able reliably to land a golf ball in an area, three hundred yards away, the size of a bathmat and, say, randomly hitting a car, which, let’s face it, only a fool would drive right next to a golf course. There is a major disproportion, in other words, between the straightforwardness of the game and the fantastic precision required to play it, a disproportion mastered by a difficult but, to the ordinary observer, almost invisible technique.
Short stories are the same. A short story is not as restrictive as a sonnet, but, of all the literary forms, it is possibly the most single-minded. Its aim, as it was identified by the modern genre’s first theorist, Edgar Allan Poe, is to create “an effect”—by which Poe meant something almost physical, like a sensation or an extreme excitement.
第31题：The author quotes his own experience with golf to show that _____.
［A］ things are often not so simple and easy as they seem
［B］ his experience with golf has been a frustrating failure
［C］ that experience of his offered much for his later life
［D］ apparent truths are more often than not unreliable
There's Bill Gates, who these days is spending less time earning money than giving it away—and pulling other billionaires into the deep end of global philanthropy(慈善事业) with him. There's historian Francis Fukuyama, leading a whole gang of disaffected fellow travelers away from neoconservatism. To flip-flopis human. It can still sometimes be a political liability, evidence of a flaky disposition or rank opportunism. But there are circumstances in which not to reverse course seems almost pathological(病态的). He's a model of consistency, Stephen Colbert said last year of George W. Bush:" He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday—no matter what happened on Tuesday".
Over the past three years, I found people who had pulled a big U-turn in their lives. Often the insight came in a forehead-smiting moment in the middle of the night: I've got it all wrong.
It looked at first like a sprinkling of outliers beyond the curve of normal human experience. But when you stepped back, a pattern emerged. What these personal turns had in common was the apprehension that we're all connected. Everything leans on something, is both dependent and depended on.
"The difference between you and me", a visiting Chinese student told University of Michigan psychologist Richard Nisbett not long ago", is that I think the world is a circle, and you think it's a line". The remark prompted the professor to write a book, The Geography of Thought, about the differences between the Western and the Asian mind.
To Western thinking, the world is linear; you can chop it up and analyze it, and we can all work on our little part of the project independently until it's solved. The classically Eastern mind, according to Nisbett, sees things differently: the world isn't a length of rope but a vast, closed chain, incomprehensibly complex and ever changing. When you look at life from this second perspective, some unlikely connections reveal themselves.
I realized this was what almost all the U-turns had in common: people had swung around to face East. They had stopped thinking in a line and started thinking in a circle. Morality was looking less like a set of rules and more like a story, one in which they were part of an ensemble cast, no longer the star.

A．Some people have changed into someone another.
