The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphone’s interruption of our thoughts.

We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is in generally a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.

The concept of being unreachable is not new – we have “Do Not Disturb” signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?

The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication. Until the recent mass use of cellphones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the globe. We came to take it for granted.

But cellphones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves. Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cellphone devotees, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse this invention.

But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. That we have the right to take back our private time is a general social recognition.

In other words, we don’t have to pay too much attention to the rings of our own phones. Given the ease of making and receiving cellphone calls, if we don’t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.

A cellphone call deserves no more importance than a word from the person next to us. Though the call on my cellphone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg–who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off, thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.

1..

What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cellphones?

A. It is a way to show that you don’t like the caller.

B. It is natural to tell lies about small things.

C. It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.

D. We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.

2..

What is the meaning of the underlined word “devotees” in Paragraph 5?

A. people who enjoy something.           B. people who are bothered.

C. people who hate something.                D. people who are interrupted.

3..

. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cellphones?

A. People are always thinking of the cellphone rings so that they fail to notice anything else.

B. Cellphones interrupt people’s private time.

C. People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cellphones.

D. With cellphones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.

4..

. What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.

B. Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.

C. You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cellphone.

D. Never let cellphones disturb your life too much.

Frauds (诈骗犯)play complex psychological tricks to fool others, says Colin Barras. And that means anyone can be cheated unless they know what to look for.

None of us likes to be cheated. and David Modic has done some researches on it. It’s the personal passion that has convinced Modic to study the psychology of cheating. He’s not alone: the field is thriving, and the information that researchers are uncovering is ) valuable to us all-from those single in search of love to the technology wizards (人才) in charge of the world’s online security.

Modic is particularly interested in w hat makes people easy to fraud. It’s common to imagine that only the foolish or poorly educated might fall victim but even hard evidence suggests this is not the case. Take Paul Frampton, an Oxbridge educated academic professor of physics for example. In 2012 Frampton was given almost 5 years in prison for drug smuggling in Argentina, after falling victim to an online dating fraud. And then there’s John Worley, As a psychotherapist, Worley knows more than most of us about controlling life’s right ways. But in 2005 he was put on trial for bank fraud after becoming a victim of a fraud. This fraud sees people contacted by someone claiming to be a Nigerian government official appealing for help moving large sums of money out of the country—who just requires a little money upfront (预付的)to release the fortune. Worley was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison.

Intelligence and experience offer no protection against cheaters, says Modic. “If it did, then better educated people and older people would be less likely to fall for scams(骗局). And that is not supported by my research.”

To look for answers to that question, Modic and Frank Stajano have quizzed thousands of people, asking them first whether they think various frauds are reasonable—and whether they have fallen victim to them—before asking them to perform a personality test. The research has identified a number of characteristics that people who are victims of frauds seem to in common. Some of these traits —like a lack of self-control—we would probably recognize as dangerous. But others—a trust in authority, a desire to act in the same way as our friends, or a tendency to act in a consistent way —we might think of as good characteristics.

1.According to the passage, the frauds may　　　　　　　 .

A. threaten the world’s online security

B. play their tricks in a consistent way

C. receive much education of psychology

D. have high intelligence to help cheating

2.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that　　　　　　　 .

A. who and what makes people easy to fraud

B. all walks of life would be likely to fall for scams

C. the poorly educated may be easier to be cheated

D. government officials should be responsible for frauds

3.Modic and Frank Stajano’s researches find out that the victims　　　　　　 .

A. often follow friends’ actions

B. are considered to be dangerous

C. also share good characteristics

D. shouldn’t have a trust in authority

We’ve all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles（腹肌）. It’s easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of million of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.

And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches（仰卧起坐）. Some can even cause injury-like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, trpically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.

The fact is that many Americans don’t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can’t lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of tan inch of fat. That’s enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.

So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets.” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.

Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the “Captain’s Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.

1.Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?

A．Torso Track.                         B．Ab-Doer.

C．Captain’s Chair.                                        D．Body Shaper-Q8SP.

2.According to the author, it’s difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because________.

A．they do not put in enough efforts

B．injuries interrupt their exercise frequently

C．they change their exercise routine regularly

D．how big their muscles will be is determined by birth

3.The author convinces the readers by.

A．describing successful eases          B．offering professional connects

C．presenting findings of researches    D．comparing advertisements of products

4.What’s the main purpose of this passage?

A．To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.

B．To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.

C．To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.

D．To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.
