21、Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.
A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”

22、Charles Darwin was born into a family of thinkers. His father was a Fellow of the Royal Society（the elite circle of top British scientists），his mother was the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood，the man who founded the famous Wedgwood Potteries，and his grandfather，Erasmus Darwin，was a famous physician，thinker and philosopher who，like his grandson，spent much time studying the evolution of life.
After a childhood in the town of Shrewsbury，where he was educated at the Grammar School，Darwin went up to Edinburgh University to study medicine and natural history. When he was eighteen，he left Edinburgh and went to Cambridge University，planning to enter the church，but he was more interested in science than in religion and later he abandoned theology.
Shortly after graduating from Cambridge，he got a job as a naturalist on the ship H. M. S. Beagle，which was about to start on a scientific and cartographic（地图的）survey of the South American coast. The journey started in December 1831 and was to last almost five years，during which time he collected considerable documentation.
Darwin was struck by the animals of the south seas，particularly by the tortoises he found on the Galapagos Islands，a group of Pacific Islands. The Galapagos tortoises，Darwin observed，differed from island to island，and this，he inferred，showed different forms of evolution，since the animals obviously came from the same origins. Darwin was also struck by the iguanas（蜥蜴）he found，and observed that those which lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among stones，while those that lived on land had a sharper head，more fit for a herbivorous（食草的）animal.
Darwin developed his theory of evolution，but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly seen as a great milestone in scientific thought，and attracted violent argument all over Europe. Many found fault in it，and Darwin spent the rest of his life improving his theory in the light of other people's observations.

【3】Why were the iguanas different from island to island？

B．Because of their habitats.
C．Because of their foods.
D．Because of their origins.
【4】What can be learned about Darwin's theory of evolution？
A．He felt quite content with it.
B．He published it once finished.
C．It caused a worldwide disagreement.
D．It was a great breakthrough in science.
23、 The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional, “paid” media, such as television commercials and print advertisements, still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “earned” media by willingly promoting it to friends, and a company may leverage “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers approach the process of making purchase decisions means that marketing’s impact stems from a broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.
Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media, such marketers act as the initiator for users’ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media -- for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend, which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and reavel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created Baby Center, a stand-along media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.
The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more and more diverse communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the business that originally created them.
If that happens passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products, putting the reputation of the target company at risk. In such a case, the company’s response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful, and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
【1】Consumers may create “earned” media when they are ________.
A.obsessed with online shopping at certain Web sites
B.inspired by product-promoting e-mail sent to them
C.eager to help their friends promote quality products
D.enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products.
【2】The author indicates in Para. 3 that earned media ________.
A.invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers
B.can be used to produce negative effects in marketing
C.may be responsible for fiercer competition
D.deserve all the negative comments about them
【3】Toyota Motor’s experience is cited as an example of ________.
A.responding effectively to hijacked media
B.persuading customers into boycotting product
C.cooperating with supportive consumers
D.taking advantage of hijacked media
24、Your brain is mainly composed of about 85 billion neurons (神经元), which is more than the number of stars you can see with the eyes. 【1】 For example, when you’re writing, some neurons send the “move fingers” message to other neurons and this message then travels through the nerves (神经) to your fingers. The electrical signals that are communicated from one neuron to another are what allows you to do everything: write, think, see, jump, talk, and so on. Each neuron can be connected with up to 10,000 other neurons , leading to plenty of connections in your brain, which is known as neural nets.
When you’re learning, important changes happen in your brain, including the creation of new connections between your neurons. 【2】 The more you practice, the stronger these connections become. As your connections strengthen, the messages are delivered increasingly faster, making them more effective. That is how you become better at anything you learn whether it is playing football, reading, drawing, and so on. We can compare the connections between your neurons to paths in a forest. Walking through a forest without a path is difficult, because you have to push the plants and the branches out of the way to make your way. 【3】 On the contrary, when you stop using the path, the plants grow back, and the path slowly disappears. This is very similar to what happens in your brain—when you stop practicing something, the connections between your neurons weaken and can finally be removed. 【4】 However, it’s possible for some neural networks to become so strong that the paths or connections never completely disappear.
【5】 Practicing repeatedly makes your neurons active and makes you learn. These changes happen as early as when a baby is in his mother’s stomach and continues throughout a person’s life.
A．Neurons are usually divided into different types according to their location.
B．But the more you use the same path, the easier and more practicable it becomes.
C．The question is how to help your neurons to create and strengthen their connections.
D．A neuron is a cell sending information in the form of electrical signals to other neurons.
E．That’s why it’s hard to start reading again when school starts if you haven’t read all summer.
F．The ability of your brain to change is to create, strengthen or weaken connections between neurons.
G．The fact that learning rewires your neurons shows that the brain changes and does not remain fixed.
25、It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada. Burchill was staying at the hotel on business and planning to _________ some friends in the area. They had asked him to _________ some pepperoni (辣香肠) from back east. So he _________ a suitcase full of pepperoni. As he was _________ that it would be too warm, he laid it out on the table near an open window. He thought his pepperoni was _________ and well chilled (冷却) and he left.
That's when things went _________ . “I remember walking down the long _________ and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls," Burchill said in a recent letter of _________ to the 4-star hotel. “The seagulls immediately went wild. They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to _________ at the same time, and pepperoni-everywhere. The curtains were falling down; the lamps were falling down. It was a real __________.”
Older and wiser now, Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion (莽撞).
“I have __________ and I admit responsibility for my actions,” he said in the letter. “I come to you, __________, to apologize for the damage I had __________ caused and to ask you to __________ my lifetime ban from the hotel.”
