Caught in the Web
A few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per
day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and
instant-messaging programs – leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills
piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from
her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.
"I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a
depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going,"
detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.
Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.
Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical
journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated
interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too
much or whether addiction is possible.
But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more
serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first
large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider
listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online
discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too
much time on the Web.
"There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're
overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg.
Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.
Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more
skeptical. "The Internet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to the
environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be
1solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent
online.
The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of
more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University
researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of
excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and
nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by the Internet when offline."
About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14%
reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time."
"The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor.
No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms,
checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn (色情) or gambling"
websites.
Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but "in
terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where]
you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too
much."
Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy
Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for
Internet Behavior.
The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms
of computer addiction:
● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.
● Longing for more and more time at the computer.
● Neglect of family and friends.
● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.
● Lying to employers and family about activities.
● Inability to stop the activity.
● Problems with school or job.
Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal
hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.
People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood
disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report
that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said.
"Some people say relief…because they find themselves so relaxed."
Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers
spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such
game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming
addiction."
Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of
Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the
40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back
only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained
weight.
2"There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online gaming, said
Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant
in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly "to
remind myself to keep my love for online games in check."
Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when
she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction
group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction."
"I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my
work,to take care of my home, to give attention to my children," she wrote in a message sent
to the group."I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my
mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything."
Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet
use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last
week. "It's a lot better now."

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select
one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.
Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is
identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2
with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than
once.
Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech,
solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the U.S. has
more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be __47__ wasteful to tear them all down
and __48__ them with greener versions. An enormous amount of energy and resources went
into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the __49__
carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by
destroying an old one. So in the broadest __50__, the greenest home is the one that has
already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from
heating, cooling and __51__ our homes, offices and other buildings. "You can't deal with
climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of
the National Trust.
With some __52__, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built
before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly
due to the tiny cracks and gaps that __53__ over time and let in more outside air.
Fortunately, there are a __54__ number of relatively simple changes that can green older
homes, from __55__ ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency
upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help __56__ property owners
7from rising power costs.

A) accommodations B) clumsy C) doubtful D) exceptions E) expand F) historic
G) incredibly H) powering I) protect J) reduced K) replace L) sense M) shifted
N) supplying O) vast
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)
and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer
Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are
going,how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning
normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out
of a comic book.They're known as the black box.
When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in
the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong.
So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the
discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152
passengers were killed.
In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that
would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black
box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often
failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and
moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in
the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the
boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots'
conversations,and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other
operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in
an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel,
the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged,
they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air
France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep,
but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over
the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.

B) The idea for its design comes from a comic book.
C) Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.
D) It is an indispensable device on an airplane.

D) Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.
59. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?

B) Too much space was needed for its installation.
C) The early models often got damaged in the crash.
D) The early models didn't provide the needed data.
60. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or
yellow?
A) To distinguish them from the colour of the plane.
B) To caution people to handle them with care.

C) They have stopped sending homing signals.
D) They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative
thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was
positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that
says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can
simply highlight how unhappy they are.
The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine
Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that
when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not
better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just
underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of
Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the
essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had
written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The
participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every
15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell
themselves, "I am lovable."
Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact,
their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who
weren't urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge
9people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting,
we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast,
can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the
power of negative thinking.

Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling
Correct spelling is a basic skill in English study. However, nowadays many students do
not pay much attention to it.
They have their own reasons for misspelling. First of all, they like an easy way of
studying, which causes some omissions and changes in spelling. Second, the teachers might
not be very strict in students’ spelling. In China, teachers seem to be more concerned with
grammar and vocabulary but not spelling.
To change this situation, in my opinion, the teachers and the students should work
together. On one and, the teachers should give more attention to students’ spelling, asking the
students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling from the very beginning of their
English study. On the other hand, the students themselves are supposed to be aware that
correct spelling is a must in English study.
