They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic (工作狂). A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing 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, shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess (坦白) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before theygo to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones valuable 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 smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity (容量).”25.The text is probably taken from__________.A.a scientific reportB.a financial reportC.a newspaperD.a travel journal26.The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last parag raph probably means__________.A. disagreementsB. disadvantagesC.mistakesD.features27.Ghadi may agree that__________.A.employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a dayB.the ability to access many apps made smartphones worthlessC.smartphones might turn a person into a workaholicD.people cannot get away from work without smartphones28.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Smartphones are lengthening working hours.B.Smartphones are becoming valuable for many people.C.Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average.D.Smartphones are more beneficial to our life than we think.CThe sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world——Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw (取出) and deposit (存入) books.Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simp le idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other,” Bol said.Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little , there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main appeal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic nove l that gets her excited about reading;a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,” sa ys the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration”.29. How do Little Free Libraries get their books?A. The communities bought them.B. Tod Bol donated them.C. US government provided them.D. Citizens shared them.30. Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?A. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.C. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.D. They are a gift to please his mother.31. What does the author of the Atlantic article believe?A. Little Free Libraries are more popular than e-reader downloads.B. E-reader downloads are undoubtedly beneficial.C. Little Free Libraries are physical and human.D. The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.32. Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that ________.A. they are in various shapes and sizesB. they are located all over the worldC. they connect strangers togetherD. they may give readers a sense of discoveryDAmerica’s Best National ParksPacific: Yosemite National Park, CalifClosest city: Oakland, Calif.
