Zhu Haoyu, 18, a history major, wears his iPod everywhere on campus. The freshman has it going out for a walk, visiting the library or lying in bed. However, he found that his habit is like displaying a big “Do not disturb ”sign for himself.
As time slips away, he has begun to regret not having conversed much with his peers around . “As I put the little buds (耳機(jī)) into my ears, I’m immersed in a universe of my own, forgetting all troubles in the real world,” said Li.
The MP3 player is one of a number of gadgets (小玩意)—starting with the Sony Walkman, which led to the iPod, iPhone and iPad —that give people the ability to shut themselves off from world around them.
Youngsters delight in handset (手持的) technology. In public, students chat on their cell phones, stopping only to talk briefly to friends. On buses or trains it’s common to see youngsters with PlayStations instead of playing poker or sharing jokes or games. And during airline flights, people watch episodes (連續(xù)劇) of US TV dramas on their iPads, rather than talking.
The BBC News magazine recently published an article saying that headphone wearing culture is making us anti-social. “Half of humankind is wired to a parallel universe that leaves them ignoring their surroundings and fellows,” wrote Tom de Castella.
Actually, it’s a decade since Apple unveiled the iPod, which promised “1,000 songs in your pocket”. In 2007 more than half of Western residents were using an iPod or MP3 player.
Entertainment is on offer in all surroundings, not just at home. But in the meantime, it has created barriers between us. Many people subscribe to the view that the headphone culture is creating a “spoilt, selfish generation that lacks civic(公民的)culture”.
However, many users of portable MP3 players argue that the device, as a mind drug, helps them relieve stress by escaping for a while. It is also said to be able to help some students concentrate on work or study. “If you want to get away from the hucksters (小販) on the way, just start listening to your player,” said Liu, a freshman. “They do not approach people with headphones on.” This might also mean he’s blocking those who want to ask him for the directions.
Experts, however, say that short contacts or mini conversations with strangers are helpful to our mind. Many experts warn that it is dangerous to lose touch with people in our lives.
【小題1】Zhu Haoyu found that his wearing the iPod        .

A.disturbed others
B.made it easy for him to keep in touch with others
C.made it easy for him to visit the library
D.made others unwilling to talk to him

A.Students are always busy chatting on their cell phones in public.

The International Olympic Committee named a short list of five cities as possible hosts for the 2012 Olympics.

The five―London, Madrid, Moscow, New York and Paris―became official candidates, beginning a 14-month race that ended with the selection of a winning bid by the IOC's assembly in Singapore in July 2005.

Havana, Leipzig, Rio de Janeiro and Istanbul were the victims in 2004, as the field was cut down from nine applicants.

Geography would appear to favor a European city after the 2008 Summer Games in Asia―Beijing and the 2010 Winter Games in North America―Vancouver.

IOC president Jacques Rogge said the list could be further cut in the next month if any of the bidding cities fall short of IOC expectations.

"What we have done today is retain five cities which we believe will deliver, but we will have to check if they do deliver," said Rogge. "I do not like the word 'rejection' and this in no way reflects that we do not trust these countries. "

The nine original competitors launched their bids in January, 2004 with the emphasis on agreement and easily accessible venues(舉辦場(chǎng)所).

Favorites Paris and London promoted the attractions of their landmarks, Madrid promised an environmentally friendly Games while New York called itself the "world city".

Paris bid organizers said they would stage beach volleyball at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and host many of the events at two clusters on the edge of the French capital.

"Our experience with previous bids has taught us a great deal about the needs and aspirations of the IOC," Paris bid chief Philippe Baudillon said. "We firmly believe that Paris will meet those needs.”

London organizers countered (反駁)it by promising to hold the beach volleyball competition in Horse Guards Parade.

Seventeen sports, including athletics and swimming, would be staged at a new venue in the city's deprived East End.

"I am very pleased that London has been named a candidate city for the 2012 Olympic Games. But I am not surprised we have cleared this most important hurdle," British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a statement.

 

61. Why is the 2012 Olympics likely to be held in a European city?

A. It's impossible for two successive Olympics to be held on the same continent.

B. The 2008 Summer and Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing and Vancouver respectively.

C. Geographically speaking, it's time to hold the 2012 Games in a non-Asian and non-American country.

D. European cities turn out to be more suitable to host the 2012 Games.

62. The underlined sentence in Para. 6 means ______.

A. to keep five cities that can live up to our expectations.

B. to cut five cities that will fail.

C. to pick five cities that will make a good speech.

D. to pick five cities that will produce enough goods.

63. What has Paris got from previous bids for the Olympic Games?

A. What efforts it should make in the future.

B. A lot about the needs and expectations of the IOC.

C. How to host a successful Olympic Games.

D. Why it failed in the past.

64. How did Tony Blair feel about London being named a candidate city for the next Olympic Games?

A. Happy and surprised.                              B. Disappointed but hopeful.

C. Excited and impatient.                             D. Happy and unsurprised.

65. Which would be the best title of the passage?

A. The advantages of the five cities.           B. The next Olympic Games.

C. Five cities in race for 2012 Games.        D. The 2010 Winter Olympics.
