18、sychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which w
19、ere completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the
20、 drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodiless “virtual“ (虚的 ) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through th
21、e Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“ But it s important to remember this is not about the technology, it s about how it is used,“ says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study s sponsors(发起人) .“It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how

28、he United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn t feel really poor when he had a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The ca
29、r made the United Stated a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons why the car become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable a
30、nd cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as commo
31、n in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. America
32、ns don t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer
33、will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.40 “A nation on wheels“ means that_.（A）the country is producing the best cars in the world（B） everyone in this country owns a car（C） cars play a very important
34、 role in people lives（D）there are more cars than trains in this country41 With a car people can go_easily.（A）anywhere（B） to anyplace（C） to anywhere（D）any place42 The real solution to the gas shortage problem is_.（A）to make less cars（B） to develop a public transportation system（C） to make gas-saving
