  Teens don’t understand the big fass(小题大做).As the first generation to grow up in a wired world,they hardly know a time when computers weren’t around, and they cagerly eatch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends,So what?

  But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated(孤寂),less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb(麻木)to the chcatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world.“And a tenn’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,”said shetty Turklt.

  Another resarcher, Pobert Kraut, said he’s worried about the“opportunity costs”(机会成本)of so much online time for youths.He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed incrcased signs of loneliness and socol isolation.“Chatting onine may be better than watching television, but it’s worse than hanging out(闲逛)with real friends,”he said.

  Today’s teens, however, don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives,“School is busy and full of pressurs.There’s almost no time to just hang out.”said Parker Rice, 17.“Talking online is just catch up time.”

  Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply.Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they don’t want to do so.But they insist there’s no harm.

  I am terrible oh TV.I don't sit straight and I don't talk clearly.It bothers, because I know inside I am smart, sensitive and sincere.Television can make any fool look like an intellectual, but I come over as dishonest.After a disastrous TV show last year, when I called the interviewer by the wrong name, I was reluctant to do broadcasting again.

  Now, I will have my first novel out next month, which is called Do It Again, and the advertising people tell me I must go on TV to promote it.That is why I find myself practising my television interviewing technique with two consultants from Public Image Ltd.

  “He blinks(眨眼)a lot, doesn't he?” says Diana, the speech specialist, studying my image on a video monitor.“And his crossed legs look defensive.But the voice isn't bad.” Jeannie, who is introduced to me as Public Image's image consultant, takes a step backwards to study the general posture.“Needs to get his bottom back in the sofa.And the jacket makes him look a bit deformed.Where does he get his clothes from?”

  “Honesty is the most important thing,” Says Diana.“We don't want to turn people into actors.We want to bring out their personality.Then most importantly, there are the three E's:Energy, Enthusiasm and Enjoyment.And do try to stop blinking.”

  And so our practice interview begins.“So, what can you tell us about your book, Martyn?” “Umm…” A long pause.“Errr…” A longer pause.“Tee hee, hargh…” A foolish giggle.“All right,” says Diana patiently, “We'll try that again.” We try it again, many, many times, each time trying to solve a different problem that I have.On the second run-through, my crossed legs keep moving up and down, which makes me look as if I want to run away(I do, I do).On the third run they are uncrossed, but my hands are clenched on my lap.On the fourth my hands are fiddling with my ears.

  But Diana is patient and gives me a lot of advice.She is very good at her job because on the final run-through, after three hours or so, I really don't look too bad.Steady gaze, breathing clear and no blinking.Not perfect but not bad.

  I'm bursting with energy, enthusiasm and enjoyment and I'm talking a lot of nonsense, but you'd hardly notice.When you watch people on TV, you'll see a lot more just like me.

(1)

The writer believes that he is terrible on TV because ________

he seems not to be telling the truth

A.

B.

Because he want to improve his interviewing style.

C.

Because he is interested in the work they do for politicians.

D.

Because the company is good at promoting novels.

(3)

Diana and Jeannie both say that one of the writer's problems when appearing on TV concerns ________

[  ]

A.

the way he sits

B.

the clothes he wears

C.

the way his eyes move

D.

the way he moves

  To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount.That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal

  After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't.

  “We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ”said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council.“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from.”

  Study participants(参与者)scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.

  Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes.But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.

  “We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr.Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization.“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically(理论上地)possible.”

  “Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ”Susan Jebb said.“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change.”

(1)

Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?

[  ]

A.

Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

B.

Do proper exercise in the morning every day.

C.

Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.

D.

Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.

(2)

We can learn from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.

Susan Jebb did not take part in the study.

B.

the study observed people as well as tested specific changes.

C.

there's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits.

D.

only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors.

(3)

What can be inferred from the passage?

[  ]

A.

All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.

B.

People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.

C.

Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.

D.

People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good.

(4)

What would be the best title for this passage?

[  ]

A.

Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years

B.

How to Live a Much Healthier Life

C.

Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 Years

D.

How to Make Your Life Longer Than Others
