But even those closest to him had no knowledge of the fortune he quietly gathered and the last act he had planned.Naiman died of cancer at age 63 last January. The man from the American state of Washington gave most of his money to groups that help the poor, sick, disabled and abandoned children.He gave them $11 million.

But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter ...and it’s all because of technology.“We move quickly from one site to anot her on the web,” said Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions（分心）too: email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read,” said Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much be tter.”But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, befor estopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”8. Why does the writer mention “goldfish”?A. To introduce background.B. To compare two species.C. To introduce a topic.D. To suggest a way out.9. What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr. Ted Selker?A. Skipping around the internet.B. Time to digest information.C. Traditional methods of reading.D. Making decisions.10. What will help students overcome a short attention span?A. Composing music.B. Texting messagesC. Reading more books.D. Watching quickie movies.11. What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking thro ugh websites quickly?A. Cautious.B. Unfavorable.C. Skeptical.D. Supportive.DThe idea of progress started to flower in the 17th century. At that time, many wise thinkers believed that man liberated by reason would rise to ever greater heights of achievement. The many expressions of human nature would be the engines of progress: language, business, science, and moral sensibility （道德感）. Unfortunately, most of those engines have failed to bring the desired human progress.The modern age has belonged to material progress and its main source has been science. Science gives people huge power to change the world. But can people be trusted to use it always for good? Think of biotechnology and information technology. And it is not just that scientific progress does not deliver the emotional good. People also fear that mankind is failing to manage science properly. The forests are disappearing; the ice is melting; privacy is leaking; life is becoming a depressing march in an ugly world.The point is not that science is harmful, but that scientific progress needs to bemapped tidily onto human progress. That relies on moral sensibility in its widest sense. This liberal force offers hope for a better future. The very idea of moral sensibility probably sounds out-of-date. But researchers find that people desire a sense of moral purpose which would give life dignity. People want to determine how the world works, not always to be determined by it. Moral sensibility is why people will suffer for their beliefs，and why acts of noble self-sacrifice are so powerful．It is admitted that our moral ideals will never be realized completely. But sometimes, however imperfectly, we can make progress. Human dignity requires the love of ideals for their own sake, but nothing requires that the love be returned. Human progress is neither guaranteed nor hopeless. Instead, it is up to us.12. What do we know about human progress from Paragraph 1?A. Human beings were greatly liberated by the idea of progress.B. Language failed to serve as an expression of human progress.C. People began to think about human progress in the 17th century.D. Many thinkers in the 17th century were optimistic about human progress.13. Why does science fail to bring the desired human progress?A. Scientific progress does not give people dignity.B. Proper governing is not guaranteed in the use of science.C. Science is misunderstood because of improper management.D. The engine of progress is sensitive and unreliable.14. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Depressing life.B. Harmful science.C. Human progress.D. Moral sensibility.15．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To stress the function of the idea of progress.B. To express concern about the death of moral sensibility.C. To show the importance of moral sensibility in human progress.D. To blame the harm of material progress to human development.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。
