　　Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo．Swedish businessmen Nile Bergqvist delighted with its new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel．Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over．

　　In two weeks'time Bergqvist's ice creation (作品) will be nothing than a pool of water．“We don't see it as a big problem,” he says．“We just look forward to replacing it．”

　　Bergqvist built first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition．It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters．Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed．“The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says．

　　After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success．With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like as survival test than a relaxing hotel break．“It's great fun,” Bergqvist explains, as well as a good start in survival training．

　　The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world．At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms．You can get a lot of people in, explains Bergqvist．The hotels are three meters by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time．

[　　]

A．more hotel rooms are needed

　　The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys．But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims(受害者)of what the researchers call a major new gender(性別)gap in technology．Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women(AAUW)says,“Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer．They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information．

　　After re-examining a thousand studies, the AAUW researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes．Girls rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers．And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom．

　　An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some difference．Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says,“Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow．”

　　Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys．Karen Gould with the company says,“The number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive．Girls just said they're unbelievably boring．”What girls want, Purple Moon found, is characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives．“What we definitely found from girls is(that there is no intrinsic)(內(nèi)在的)reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing,”says Karen Gould．

　　The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this：the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century．

they can only use computers for word processing

閱讀理解：

　　There are robots all around us．Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains．And some do one simple job．When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in．The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes．It does this by “feedback”(反饋)．Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next．Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback．They tell us what is going on around us．So robots are like human beings in two ways．They work and they have feedback．

　　In some ways robots are better than human beings．They work quickly and do not make mistakes．They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again．And they never get tired．So robots are very useful in factories．They can be taught to do many different jobs．First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done．A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job．

　　The most intelligent robots can move and see．Their eyes are cameras．Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects．These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions．The most intelligent robots--cave robots are used in scientific research．They do such job as handling radioactive materials．

Multitasking

　　People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests．The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted(分心)and can't focus on one activity．And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah．

　　Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking(尋求刺激)or imperative(沖動(dòng)) they were．They then evaluated the participants' multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters．

　　Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once．But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test．They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted．

　　“People multitask not because it's going to lead to greater productivity, but because they're distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important．” Sanbonmatsu said．

　　Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn't find out whether people who start out less focused toward multitasking or whether people's recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking．

　　The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving．“People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations．” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group．“This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they're dangerous．”

(1)

The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask ________．

[　　]

A．

seek high productivity constantly

B．

prefer handling different things when getting bored

C．

are more focused when doing many things at a time

D．

have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time

(2)

When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they ________．

[　　]

A．

assessed the multitasking ability of the students

B．

evaluated the academic achievements of the students

C．

analyzed the effects of the participants' tricky mental tasks

D．

measured the changes of the students' understanding ability

(3)

According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their ________．

[　　]

A．

limited power in calculation

B．

interests in doing things differently

C．

inability to concentrate on one task

D．

impulsive desire to try new things

(4)

From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually ________．

[　　]

A．

drive very skillfully

B．

go in for different tasks

C．

fail to react quickly to potential dangers

D．

refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior
