moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first
reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.
A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those
surveyed suffer from nomophobia or "no mobile phone phobia". Interestingly, more women worry about
losing their phone than men.
Fortunately, there"s a solution.
The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but
the true sign of a problem is that you can"t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear
becomes so severe.
Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That"s another sign of a problem.
If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be
a problem.
Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and
not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to
a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having
your phone.
Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he
uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he
can just go to a Web site and see the phone"s location.
He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company"s description of its product
reads like a prescription for anxiety: "60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You"ll
have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with
family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!"
B. To introduce the topic for discussion.
C. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
D.To warn us that we should be careful.
B. Habits of using mobile phones
C. Independence of mobile phones.
D. Eagerness for new mobile phones.
B. Avoiding using phone for some time
C. Not using a mobile phone in one"s daily work.
D.Protecting one"s phone against any damage.
B. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
C. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.
D. It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.
B. Attitude toward mobile phone.
C. Solutions to nomophobia
D. Disadvantages of mobile phone

Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Tr
ansition,to customers by the end of 2012.
"It"s the next "wow" vehicle,"said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. "Anybody can buy
a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don"t fly."
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says ta
kes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is
both. The c
ompany has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper
way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get
to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you"re good to go. When you land,
you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don"t have
to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home.
The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of
1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for
an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying i
nto marginal(临界)conditions.
The Transition"
s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio,transponder or GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute.
"If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option," Gersh said.
So far, the company has more th
an 70 orders with deposits. "We"re working very closely withthem, but there are still some remaining steps," Brown said.
B. people might drive a carplane in 2012
C. both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
B. unfold wings for flying
C. land in the airport
D. meet flying safety regulations
ccording to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? B. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.
C. The carplane may fly as high as normal planes.
D. People can park the carplane in the garage at their home.
B. the transponder
C. the GPS
D. the fullplane parachute
B. Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A CarPlane?
C. A More Convenient And Cheaper Way
To FlyD. Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane
want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood,
this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful property
of some one or other of their daughters.
"My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at
last?" Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
"But it is," returned she, "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it."
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
"Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.
"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."
This was invitation enough.
"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large
fortune from the north of England; that he camedown on Monday in a chaise to see the place, and was
so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession
before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week."
"What is his name?"
"Bingley."
"Is he married or single?"
"Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What
a fine thing for our girls! "
"How so? How can it affect them?"
"My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am
thinking of his marrying one of them."
"Is that his design in settling here?"
"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them,
and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes."
"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which
perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the
best of the party."

B. a single man without money needn"t a wife.
C. women want to get married to financial stable men.
D. once man becomes rich, he must want to get a wife.
B. wanted to get acquainted with their new neighbor.

troubles, viral infections, and higher death rates.What they didn"t know is how this feeling causes illness.
A study in the September issue of the online journal Genome Biology suggests that loneliness actually
affects the very core of our bodies-our genes.
In a small population of patients, researchers surveyed more than 20,000 genes using DNA skills to
compare how the genes of lonely
and nonlonely individuals express themselves in molecular (分子) processes and, ultimately, in personal health.They found that gene expression is different at 209 sites in
chronically lonely people and that many of those changes fit a pattern of elevated immune activation,
inflammation (炎症), and depressed response to infection."We now have a molecular framework for
understanding the relationship between social experience and physical health, "explains the study"s lead
author, Steve Cole.
The study found that loneline
ss decreases the response of some body receptors, cutting off the immune control and anti－inflammatory effects of the stress－related hormone that also helps regulate the
conversion of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to energy.The depressed response of the stress－related
hormone concurs with the known effects of loneliness and provides a potential target for treatment.
"This study-the first to link feelings with gene changes-is in some sense groundbreaking, "says Emma
Adam, an associate professor at Northwestern University."It fills in the black box."
According to John Cacioppo, an author of the study and a psychologist from the University of
Chicago, the work suggests that loneliness is a warning sign, much like physical pain."This very process
of feeling bad because of disconnection contributes to what it means to be human, "he says."It makes us
care for other people and want to reconnect when we"re disconnected."
B. have bad and little genes
C. are full of energ
D. are quick to the responses of some body receptors
B. Researchers and doctors can deal with loneliness by regulating the stress－related hormone.
C. Loneliness is a warning sign of physical pain.
D. The study of loneliness is of little value at present.
B. the process of feeling bad
C. lon
eliness D. to be human
B. Take more social activities.
C. Take more physical exercises.
D. Ring your friends when you need their help.

C. Why Loneliness Is Bad for You
D. Genes and Loneliness
is born with.Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others.But no matter
how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has
opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual-the sort of environment in
which he is reared.If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to
develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual"s intelligence can be demonstrated
by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical
brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old, their
parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes.Peter was reared by parents of low
intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home
of well－to－do parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and
given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the
twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark"s I. Q.was
125, twenty－five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.
Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
B. Intelligence and Environment
C. The Case of Peter and Mark
D. How the Brain Influences Intelligence
B. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence
C. environment is vital to determine a person"s intelligence
D. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence
B. 100
C. 110
D. 125
B. an individual"s intelligence is determined only by his environment
C. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
B. stays the same throughout his life
C. can be increased by education
D. is determined by his childhood
suicide (自***). The marriage fails because of the husband"s obsessive (沉迷的) behaviour.
Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age?Not really.But they are the effects
of a real social problem--Internet Addiction (上瘾). Or, Internet Addiction disorder.
There have been few long-term studies of this very 21st century illness.
But the extension of the obsession is obvious from the popularity of one game alone:"Halo 2". It"s a
first-person shooter developed by Budgie Studios for the Xbox video game console.By early 2005,1
million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game.
China has about 94 million regular Internet users.Of these, a survey suggested,4.4 million are
teenagers so addicted to it that they neglect everything else.
Video gamers who have gone too far display symptoms similar to those of alcohol and drug abusers.
"The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved with online games.I lost track of time,
space, hunger, pain, everything, " explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout.She has had
treatment in Beijing for her addiction.
What makes it similar to drugs is that online game addicts also develop a chemic
al imbalance in the brain.Gaming stimulates (刺激) the production of a chemical compound that produces euphoric or
pleasant feelings.When they"re away from the screen, their levels of chemicals produce this" high" drop.
And the addict suffers feelings of anxiety and headaches.
Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are thrust right into the
centre of the action.This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can
often suffer from.
But, addiction is not the only problem.A Harvard University survey of 81 video games in 2004 found
that 98 percent contained violence for 36 percent of the total playing time.
China strengthened controls on computer games again this week, with the Mi
nistry of Culture banning nine online games.The ministry said it would also force game operators to technically filter out content that could cause addiction.
B. show how serious the problems are if we use the Internet too much
C. direct the readers to the topic of the passage
D. show his worries about the problems in the modern age
B. online games are really harmful
C. game players are worldwide
D. game players are easy to be obsessive
B. Web Brings About Serious Social Problems
C. The Internet and Its Disadvantages
D. Online Games and Their Harm
B. lack of confidence in reality
C. have no other interests
D. want to avoid the real world
B. cover up
C. reduce
D. control
