13.The iPon Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles,sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.(31)GOutside life is shut out.So are you one of them"?
For me; walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect.(32)D What's even better,wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says;"I'm not available for chatting at the moment j"
Suppose,you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough?but a colleague suddenly turns up.At this precise moment,the slightest disturbance would break your concentration.(33)FOnce again,those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that"Go away!"signal.
(34)CIt's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their'Yes.Mum.''Problem solved.
Pretty soon,not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument.We'll be in a virtual (虚拟的) world,communicating with everyone else,or choosing not to,as we like.In this world,we will all be permanently plugged in.(35)AAnd they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end,there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!It's so strange-suddenly,I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore

解答 GDFCA
31 G 根据上文"They move about in their personal bubbles,sometimes unaware of what's happening around them."这里描述了人们带着耳机沉浸在自己世界里的状态,G选项的句子They walk around in their own spaces,with their personal"digital noise reduction systems".(他们走在自己的空间里,有着个人的"数字噪音减少系统".)和上文是一致的.故选G.
32 D 根据上文"For me,walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect."(对我来说,走在自己个人的空间里是完美的)和D项的"I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment."(我不必处理来自环境的噪音.)一致.故选D.
33 F 根据上文的句子"At this precise moment,the slightest disturbance would break your concentration."(就在这个时候,稍微打扰就会破坏你的专注,F选项中的such interruptions和前面提到的同事的打扰是相对应的.故选F.
34 C 根据下文"It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family."(有可能是因为到了成长的阶段,想忽视家庭),所以和C选项"In the home situation,teenagers love these wires."(在家里孩子们都带着耳机)是相对应的.故选C.
35 A 根据下文的"And they are changing our social habits along the way."(它们都在改变着我们的社交习惯),说明这里是"Our instruments are changing quickly."(我们的设备正在迅速地改变.)故选A.
