AA new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world.Weboholism，a twentieth century disease，affects people from different ages.They surf the net，use e-mail and speak in chat rooms.They spend many hours on the computer，and it becomes a compulsive habit.They cannot stop，and it affects their life.Ten years ago，no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users.This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students.They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation.They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework，so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.Because they can find everything on the websites，they hang out there.Moreover，this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends.The relation with their friends changes.The virtual life becomes more important than their real life.They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior，they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends.They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life.Although they feel confident on the computer，they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life.It is a problem for the future.This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.56．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The cause of weboholism.B．The advantage of weboholism.C．The popularity of weboholism.D．The influence of weboholism.57．The underlined word “obsessional”in the second paragraph most probably means “________”．A．attractive B．addictiveC．professional D．potential58．We can infer from the passage that________.A．weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB．students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeC．people are addicted to games on the InternetD．virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway59．Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?A．It contributes to the development of the web.B．The chat room language may change social culture.C．The problem will be getting more and more serious later.D．People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.BWhat is your favorite color？Do you like yellow，orange or red？If you do，you must be an optimist (乐观主义者)，a leader，or an active person who enjoys life，people and excitement.Do you prefer gray or blue？If you do，then you are probably quiet，shy and you would rather follow than lead.If you love green，you are strong-minded and determined.You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful.At least this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know，because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference，and the effect that colors have on human beings.They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up.If you happen to love brown，you did so as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one，and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.On the other hand，black is depressing.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active.It is a fact that factory workers work better，harder，and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.Remember，then，that if you feel low，you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things.Remember that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike as well.And don’t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade.60．The author believes in the passage that________.A．anyone can choose his color preference in his lifeB．no one can choose his color preference in his lifeC．anyone is born with his color preferenceD．no one is born with his color preference61．According to the passage，________.A．if you enjoy life，you must like yellow，orange and redB．if you are quiet，you must prefer gray or blueC．if you love green，you usually do what you have decidedD．if you love pink，you often go to flower shops62．Psychologists study the meaning of color preference because________.A．colors may affect the emotional states of the peopleB．colors may decide the results of our work and studyC．color preference can tell you who your friends areD．color preference can help you to see through your enemies63．The main idea of this passage is that________.A．color preference has something to do with one’s characterB．colors have effects on human psychological statesC．you will know your friends or your enemies by knowing the colors they like D．all of the above限时练三答案36．B[由第一句话“led a．..life”可得出，led是lead的过去式，故选B项。
