Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won"t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too. Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways. Let"s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won"t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more. Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won"t change these two habits. |

If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he"d better offer you more money to do so-or even double that depending on where you live now.That"s because Moscow has just been found to be the world"s most expensive city for the second year in a ro w by Mercer Human Resources Consulting. Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing,transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐). A twobedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24.83, and an international newspaper $6.30, according to Mercer.By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包) is a_steal at $4.80. London takes the No.2 place, up from No.5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar.Mercer estimates(估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days.Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No.5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly. Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world"s most expensive cities.But both have fallen since last year"s study-New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago.San Francisco came in a distant third at No.54, down 20 places from a year earlier. Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada"s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide.In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No.21 worldwide.

The world has changed and being intelligent isn"t normally equal to being a successful person. Look at the example of the blue whale:It has a huge brain,but it still doesn"t know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people can"t succeed in life because they can"t communicate well with the world around them. Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power. This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes,a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they can"t listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的).And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence. It doesn"t help that they get a culture shock-especially when they leave college and realize success and richness don"t always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint,it is sometimes the end result of some people. |
1. The example of "the blue whal e" is used to show _____. |
A. communication is more important than intelligence B. human beings are always more intelligent than animals C. humans should have the sense of protecting animals D. the blue whale is the largest animal in the world |
2. Those supposed intelligent people often believe that _____. |
A. they should make their life the same with others B. they should live in a better world than the others C. they are sure to be successful because of their intelligence D. other people"s opinion should be seriously considered |
3. What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence? |
A. They become separated from other people and lose their support. B. They often can"t get higher positions though they are intelligent. C. They can"t persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas. D. They often can"t make good use of their advantages. |
4. We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be _____. |
A. great achievements B. more efforts C. failure in the futur e D. proper changes |

Now in a world piled high with smartphones, tablets and e-readers, technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. All you have to do is wipe your fingers on your phone screen and download some Apps, which can make your study more fun and efficient. Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy--and with the following few apps, it"ll be tough to tell the two apart. Evernote Use: note-taking Can be used on: Phone/iPad/iPod touch, Android, BlackBerry, PalmOS and Windows Phone 7 Price: free It"s hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets, the eager, studious types would still take out a notepad, pencil, and highlighter-and take notes in class. While it"s not an actual planner or calendar App, if you take notes to stay organized, then Evernote is for you. The main thing about Evernote is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云储存平台上)--and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the Evernote App or a web browser. Evernote also support audio and photo notes-rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes. But, of course, ask for permission first. Wikpanion Use: research database Can be used on: iPhone/Pad/iPod touch Price: free (Wikipanion Plus for$4, 99, or 31. 87 yuan) Now, you don"t necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do research work for your paper anymore.

The normal links that you"d see to each section of an article xre no longer on the mainscreen. Instead,there"s a small icon located at the bottom of the app, which can be used to access all the sections of an article. You can also open the links in Safari(苹果)Safari(浏览器). According to the developers" site, loading Wikipedia pages with Wikpanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia site from the iPhone"s browses. To be honest, we agree.
