23、ys take your phone to the bathroom with you You never let the battery run out Its funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be business person carrying their large, plastic bricks. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year s

24、aid mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2014. And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe its time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you? So, what happened with my university fr

25、iend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: You havent changed at all still always late!

CriticalB Do you know the following expressions?Homeric laughterThe Homer in this expression is the Greek poet who wrote The Iliad and The OdysseyPeople laugh differentlySome laugh silently, while others tend to laugh loudlyHomeric laughter refers to laughter

29、of the latter kindIt is at times uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the processThis kind of laughter is called Homeric laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homers classicsFaustian bargainAccording to most stories, Faust was a German scholar who was rather unhappy with his

30、lifeThe devil（魔鬼）, Mephistopheles, promises him that in return for his soulhe will give Faust unlimited power and knowledgeFaust agrees and experiences all kinds of pleasures, but, in the end, his soul is condemned to hell（地獄）A Faustian bargain therefore is a deal that finally results in ones ruinIt

31、 means a bargain made for temporary gain without taking future consequences into considerationA three-ring circusWhen you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of complete confusionThere are so many activities taking place all together that they lea

32、ve you confused or annoyedThe expression comes from the world of entertainmentthe circusThe area where the artists perform their acts is called the ringIn the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three acts taking place simultaneously in three different ringsThe audience had to dec

37、 like Apples iPad and Samsungs Galaxy Note just before bed can lead to a poor nights sleep, according to research. More and more people are taking their tablets to bed with them to surf the web, check Facebook or email before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blueish ligh

38、t their screens emit can stop users getting a good nights sleep. That is because this type of light mimics daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light suppresses production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall sleep. This is because our brains have evolve

39、d to be wakeful during daylight hours. By contrast, light which is more orange or red in tone does not reduce melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day is ending.Neurologists (神經(jīng)病學(xué)家) have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can disrup

40、t sleep. Researchers at the Lighting Research Centre, at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, are warning that looking at tablet displays for more than two hours “l(fā)eads to a suppression of our natural melatonin levels as the devices emit optical radiation (光輻射) at short wavelengths” - i

41、n other words, they emit bluer light.They say: “Although turning off devices at night is the ultimate solution, it is recommended that if these devices are used at night displays are dimmed as much as possible and that the time spent on them before bed should be limited.”They drew their conclusions

42、after measuring melatonin levels in 13 volunteers, after they had spent time viewing iPads at full brightness at a distance of 10 inches, for two hours. Melatonin levels were significantly lower after they had done this, than they were after the volunteers had viewed their iPads for the same time, b

43、ut while wearing orange glass goggles, which cut out the blue light.They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics that tablet makers could “tune the spectral power distribution of self-luminous devices (自發(fā)光設(shè)備的頻譜功率分布)” so that they disrupted the sleep patterns of users less.It is not just a good night

44、s sleep that could be jeopardized (危害) by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that persistent disruption to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity, and even breast cancer. However, these studies tend to be comparisons of those with chronic (慢性的) sleep disruption, such

45、as long term shift workers, with those who have normal sleep patterns.44. What is it that stops users getting a good nights sleep?A. Screens B. MelatoninC. blueish lightD. Orange or red light45. Based on their findings, researchers have made the following suggestions except that _.A. Devices like iP

46、ads should be turned off at night. B. Tablet makers should make improvements in devices.C. The time spent on screen before bed should be controlled.D. Users should view iPads at full brightness instead of wearing orange glass goggles.46. We can infer from the passage that _.A. Too much late night sc

47、reen time leads to more than sleep problem.B. Our brains recognize orange or red light in tone as a cue that the day is ending.C. The less melatonin our body produces, the easier we fall asleep.D.Orange and red light does no good to a good nights sleep. 47. The writers purpose for writing this artic

48、le is to _.A. complain about problems caused by using iPads before bed.B. inform readers of a recent research.C. offer some suggestions on late night screen viewing.D. advocate late night screen viewing.DA spelling mistake on a sign outside a state primary school had me banging my head in despairbut

49、 dont be panicked into thinking state education is fundamentally disabled.Theres a notice on our local park gate, made by a local state primary school pupil, saying: “there is know things like the poo fairy.” What a good ideaa campaign to encourage the dog-owners among us to pick up their dogs waste

50、! And what an attractive and eye-catching poster! But “KNOW poo fairy”? why didnt the teacher check the spelling before the poster was completed and displayed before the public? Didnt he/she realize that not only is bad spelling a worry, but even worsethis is the sort of thing that could easily brin

51、g joy to Mr. Goves heart, because it seems to prove him rightordinary state schools bad and academies good. And the country may take his propaganda (宣傳) seriously. Show the panicking parents one bad spelling from a non-academy school, suggesting that its filled with wild and unqualified staff, and t

52、heyll be scared that their children will come out walking on all fours, and must be marched straight into an academyand institution full of exam results and undemocratic management.Dont fall for it, parents. Like thousands of teachers in state schools, and local authorities, you can care about child

53、rens education and standards of literacy, you can even love Latin, without singing up to the Gove brigade (隊(duì)列). Just because he has had an insight into our terrors and recognized our dreams, it does mean that he just knows how to take us in and what works in his favor.“That know poo teacher has scor

54、ed an own goal,” says Fielding, “and youre in a dilemma here. Youre caught between your enthusiasm for accurate grammar and your well-meaning social responsibilities” Even Fielding doesnt get it.

NegativeB. EncouragingC.Cooperative

57、 D. PraisefulEBefore Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast of the United States, it had killed 54 people in Haiti and left tens of thousands more homeless. Haiti is especially tender because of its underdevelopment, so people die thereas they did during the earthquake in January 2010in greater numbers

58、than they would in other countries subject to the same natural disasters.But there is one disaster that was brought to Haiti directly by people, now by nature. It was not caused by extreme weather. That disaster is the cholera that struck Haiti two years ago.Most people I talk to dont even know that

59、 United Nations troops brought this deadly disease to Haiti in October of 2010. There hadnt been any cholera in Haiti for at least 100 years, if ever, until some UN troops from /south Asia poured human waste into a branch of the countrys main water supply. Since then, more than 7,600 Haitians have d

60、ied and over 600,000 have gotten sick.However, the UN is still denying its responsibility, despite studies published by the New England Journal of Medicine, tracking the origin of Haitis cholera bacteria to UN soldiers. A study by a team of 15 scientists last year produced even more conclusive evide
