Ⅳ.阅读理解,listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic,it seems.
A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times, the allsinging,alldancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.More than ,with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails.Some workers confess they are on call almost ,with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours.The average time for first checking emails is ,with more than a third checking their first email in this period,and a quarter checking them ,marketing director of Pixmania,said,“The ability to access literally millions of apps,keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones invaluable for many people.However,there are drawbacks.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smart phones mean that people literally cannot get away from work.The more constantly in contact we become,the more is expected of us in a work capacity.”解题导语 智能手机给人们生活带来各种便利的同时也给人们增加了额外的工作量。It never rains but pours.
D.It’s no good crying over spilt milk.
B [推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句可知,智能手机给人们带来很多便利,丰富了人们的生活,但是似乎也促使人们变成“工作狂”。由此可见“任何硬币都有正反两面”,即事物都有两面性。All that glitters is not gold“会发光的并非都是金子”;It never rains but pours“祸不单行”;It’s no good crying over spilt milk“覆水难收”。根据文意可知,B项正确。]________.B.reaching [access)的次数达二十次。故答案选D。]first mails between 11 pm and midnight.
D.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.
C [推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知,四分之一的人在晚上十一点至午夜之间会检查一下有没有新邮件。故选项C符合题意。]rt phones.
B.Smart phones bring about extra work.
C.Smart phones make our life easier.
D.Employers don’t like smart phones.
B [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,种种数据表明:智能手机在工作时间之外给人们增加了额外的工作量。故B项符合题意。],among which dozens of things will grab our attention.It’s impossible to talk to a friend without your phone buzzing at least once.There is a good chance that you will check your Twitter feed or Facebook wall while reading this article.Just try to keep a note at work without having a popup email that ruins your train of thought.
But what causes distraction(分散注意力)?Does the mere possibility that a phone call or an email will soon arrive drain your brain power?And does distraction matter?Do interruptions make us dumber?Quite a bit.:if you do two things at once,both suffer.,and asked Alessandro Acquisti,a professor of information technology,and the psychologist Eyal Peer at Carnegie Mellon to
is interrupted.
To assess the influence of an expected cellphone call or email,we had subjects sit in a lab and perform a standard cognitive skill test.In the experiment,136 subjects were asked to read a short passage and answer questions about it.There were three groups of subjects.One was told to merely complete the test.The other two were told they might be contacted for further instruction at any moment via instant messages.
During an initial test,the second and third groups were interrupted twice.Then a second test was given,but this time,only the second group was interrupted.The third group awaited an interruption that never eaine.Let’s call the three groups Control,Interrupted and On Hiigh Alert(警惕的).istakes,but the resuhs were truly poor,especially for those who thought of themselves as multitaskers.During the first test,members of the Interrupted group answered correctly 20 percent less than members of the Control group.,the results were not as bad.This time,part of the group was told they would be interrupted again,but they were actually left alone to focus on the questions.,the Interrupted group underperformed the Control group,but this time they closed the gap greatly,to a respectable 14 percent.Dr.Peer said this suggested that people who experience an interruption,and expect another,can learn to improve the way that they deal with it.
But among the On High Alert group,there was a twist.Those who were warned of an interruption that never came improved by a huge 43 percent,and even outperformed the Control group takers who were left ,but Dr.Peer thought there was a simple explanation:participants learned from their experience,and their brains adapted.,a Stanford professor who conducted some of the first test on multitasking,said that those who couldn’t resist the desire of doing two things at once are “fools for irrelevancy”.There is some evidence that we’re not just fools for that new text message,or addicted to it;,too.,however,is that it is possible to train yourself for distractions,even if you don’t know when they’ll hit.解题导语 注意力分散会影响工作效率,可是,我们可以有意识地调整大脑,提高大脑的抗干扰能力。er the phone when talking.
A [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Technology has given us many gifts,among which dozens of things will grab our attention”和下面举的例子可知,技术既给我们带来了好处也影响了我们的生活。所以说技术是一把双刃剑。故A。]dy?
A.Interruptions make us just a little dumber.
B.Multitasking brings us a lot of stress.
C.Multitasking has a really bad effect on our performance.
D.The effect of interruptions has been badly misunderstood.

Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong unds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say “Use it or lose it!”ey practice and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells,called neurons.The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network.Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or (代数seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger,smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.
