     Teens don't understand the big fuss (小題大做). As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they
hardly know a time when computers weren't around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online,
chatting with friends, So what?
     But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated (孤寂), less skillful at
person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb (麻木) to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail
world. "And a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be
limitless,"said Sherry Turkle.
     Another researcher, Robert Kraut, said he's worried about the "opportunity costs" (機(jī)會成本) 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 online may be better than watching television, but
it's worse than hanging out (閑逛) with real friends," he said.
     Today's teens, however, don't 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. There's almost no time to just hang out." said Parker Rice,
17. "Talking online is just 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 don't want
to do so. But they insist there's no harm.
1. The researchers argue that _____.
A. teens may develop a different sense of values
B. nothing is wrong with teens'chatting online
C. teens can manage their social connections
D. spending hours online does much good to teens
2. The text mainly deals with _____.
A. use computers properly
B. improve their school work
C. develop an interest in social skills
D. reduce their mental pressures
3. The text mainly deals with _____. 
A. teens' pleasant online experience

C. the effects of the computer world on teens
D. different opinions on teens' chatting online

閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)
A New Zealand fishermen caught what may prove to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid(魷魚).
In the cold, dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms, two super long tentacles(觸須) and eyes as big as dinner plates. Sound like something out of a science fiction movie? Think again.
On February 21, New Zealand fishermen landed a colossal squid the length of a school bus. They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass in the waters off the coast of New Zealand when they caught the rare squid. With two hours of hard work, the crew skillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged in aboard their ship.
Scientists evaluate that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40 feet long. That would make this colossal squid the biggest on record.
First identified in 1925 after two tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach, the colossal squid has long been a mystery. The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6,500 feet. What scientists do know from studying the bodies of a half dozen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters.
The recently captured colossal squid has been frozen to keep it for scientific study. It will be transported to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital city of Wellington. Experts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged. Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid’s diet, behavior and reproductive(繁殖)patterns.
“Scientists will be very interested in this amazing creature, ”said New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderson. “It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment. ”
1. Why is it usually difficult for experts to observe the squid?
A. Because it moves too fast                       B. Because it is too large.
C. Because it is dangerous.                      D. Because it can go down to deep ocean.
2. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The squid is from a science fiction story 
B. The fishermen often meet colossal squids
C. Scientists know much about the colossal squid. 
D. The fishermen had some difficulty catching the large squid.
3. What’s the purpose of catching such a huge squid?
A. To make it into food  B. To set a world record 
C. To do research on it  D. To display it for visitors
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The biggest squid ever found                      B. Scientific research on squid
C. The lifestyle of the colossal squid         D. How the fishermen caught the squid
