The concept of solitude(獨(dú)處) in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be ______. Solitude can be hard to discover ______it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have ______our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n)      as we've known it. People have become so     in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted     they'd rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog (寫(xiě)博客), not only from our   , but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become     on digital technology simply because they've grown accustomed to it, and at this point not     it would make them an outsider.   , many jobs and careers require people to be    . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a     to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who     wants it. Computers can be shut      and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be "connected" and " on" has many   , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up     on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel     and forced to answer unwanted calls or   to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society     across generations. Some find today's technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone's view on the subject, it's hard to imagine what life would be like     daily advancements in technology.

At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse(沖動(dòng)), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious(注意形象的) society like the U.S., thin is “in”, fat is “out”.
It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for America’s fascination with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
【小題1】 From the passage we can infer taboo is            .

A.a(chǎn) strong desire to do something strange or terrible
B.a(chǎn) crime committed on impulse
C.behavior considered unacceptable in society’s eyes
D.a(chǎn)n unfavorable impression left on other people
【小題2】 Based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude “being fat”           in American society.
A.will always remain a taboo
B.is not considered a taboo by most people
C.has been a taboo long before
D.may no longer be a taboo some day
【小題3】The topic of fat is            many other taboo subjects.
A.the same as B.different from
C.more boring than D.less often talked about than
【小題4】In the U.S., thin is “in”, fat is “out”, this means            .
A.thin is “inside”, fat is “outside”
B.thin is “diligent”, fat is “l(fā)azy”
C.thin is “youthful”, fat is “spiritless”
D.thin is “fashionable”, fat is “unfashionable”
【小題5】The main reason the passage gives for why so many Americans are exercising regularly is            .
A.their changed life-style
B.their eagerness to stay thin and healthy
C.their appreciation of the importance of exercise
D.the encouragement they have received from their companies

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette(禮儀)is sort of strange,” Gray told the BBC. “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.
If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally(對(duì)角線地)across from each other to create distance.
When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts?
“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
