Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial(表面上的).    1    , in good restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork,    2    you find the chopsticks not helpful    3    . The real difference is    4    in the West, you have your own plate of food,    5    in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone   6    . If you are being   7   to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a   8   of many different types of dishes. The meal usually   9   with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be   10    by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be   11    (unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food(主食)ranging from rice, noodles    12    dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to    13   with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese   14

to have the staple food at last or have   15   of them at all.

Perhaps one of the things that   16   a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their    17    . In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts   18   use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of true friendship and politeness. It is   19    polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just   20   the food in the plate.

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career.

The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.

1. A. invention                             B. discovery

Why texting harms your IQ
The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user’s IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men.
It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person’s mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.
Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one’s characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.
The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a worker’s performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”
【小題1】We can learn from the passage that “infomania” ______.

A.has a positive influence on one’s IQ
B.results in the change of part of the brain
C.lies in the problem of lack of concentration
D.is caused by too much use of modern technology
【小題2】The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ______.
A.the important function of advanced technology
B.the damage to one’s brain done by unhealthy habits
C.the relevance between IQ and use of modern technology
D.the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness
【小題3】The underlined word “scrutinized” probably means “______”.
A.examined carefullyB.copied patiently
C.corrected quicklyD.a(chǎn)dmitted freely
