28、 B 【小题 4】 D Teens dont understand the big fuss. As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they hardly know a time when computers werent around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends. So what But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that
29、teens are becoming isolated, less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world. “and a teens sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,” said Sherry Turkle. Another resea
30、rcher, Robert Kraut, said hes worried about the “opportunity costs” of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation. “Chatting onine may be better than watching television, but its wors
31、e than hanging out with real friends,” he said. Todays teens, however, dont see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives, “School is busy and full of pressure. Theres almost no time to just hang out.” said Parker Rice, 17. “Talking online is just
32、catch up time.” Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they dont want to do so. But they insist theres no harm. 【小题 1】 She researchers argue

Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Del
36、uca about his plans for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, You should open a sandwich shop.” That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, buck wrote a che
37、ck for $1000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面 ) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000. But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any
38、 financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas f
39、or keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful, we are opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners learn-as-you-go approach
40、 turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established
41、 really helped out,” DeLuca says. And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds.

They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the
46、sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where th
47、ere was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer c
48、limates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employer
