many people said yes to it. Today much of that is changing. The first computer system was introduced
for use in business in the mid-1950s. Since then, the number of computer systems used in business,
government offices, and institutions has grown rapidly. In 1975, about 250,000 systems were in use
in the United States. This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The computer is an important factor in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to
help us to collect data and to provide us with information. At one time people thought computers were
only useful to banks, department stores and governments. But today the rapidly increasing numbers of
computers are used for many other purposes. Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected
(影响) by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The
newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are
often prepared by computers.
Computers today are playing important roles in education, transportation and medicine. They are
used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop defense systems. They are being
used by businesses, governments and institutions. There is no doubt that their uses will become a greater
part of our lives.
The influence (影响) of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on. Computers
now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.

without knowing why? Going from sadness to anger to joy in a matter of minutes can make many
teens feel as though they"re losing their control. But why is the feeling of being on an emotional roller
coaster (急转突变) so common among teens?
Dealing with constant change and pressure is part of the answer. Maybe you"re starting a new
school and not able to see old friends as much. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports
or other activities can be a concern for many teens. It might feel as though there just isn"t enough time
to do everything.
Being a teen means struggling with identity and selfimage. Being accepted by friends feels
extremely important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and
family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also
seem overwhelming (压倒的) and even a bit lonely at times. As fun and exciting as this time is, it also
can be a time of confusion and conflict.
Another important cause for mood swings is biology. When puberty (青春期) begins, the body
starts producing sex hormones. These hormones cause physical changes in the body. But in some
people, they also seem to cause emotional changes-the ups and downs that sometimes feel out of
control.
Feeling irritable or shorttempered can be signs of depression. So can feelings of boredom or
hopelessness. Many people think of depression as feeling sad, but depression can also bring feelings
of moodiness, impatience, anger. When depression gets in the way of enjoying life or dealing with
others, that"s a sign you need to do something about it, like talking to a counselor or therapist (治疗
专家) who can help you deal with it.
Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to handle: recognize
you"re not alone, catch your breath, count to 10, talk to people you trust, exercise, cry or wait.
B. reasonable
C. predictable
D. natural
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
B. What the result of depression is.
C. Bad mood can cause bad effects.
D. It"s important to be dependent.
B. Angry.
C. Unhappy.
D. Impatient.

2 For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European
countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the
French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then
the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the
largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company.
3
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their
homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time,
other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. 4 Many Europeans usually worry about the
quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be
sure about the quality of the things on TV.
5 They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to
work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
A. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe.
B. They call teleshopping "Junk on the air".
C. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
D. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from
the American companies.
F. Teleshopping is popular among people.
G. German teleshopping business is controlled by America.
