Is Society Too Dependent On Technology?

Just think, what would happen if your computer, iPad or laptop crashed today? What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it? 1. Today, most people are becoming dependent on technology.

Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is immense. If you happen to work in offices you may be familiar with this trend. 2. Anyway, it’s true. How can work continue if it’s hard to send an email to a colleague or customer? This is common in almost all offices.

Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories. Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends are no longer there. 3. Technology has taken all their time.

Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so immense that doctors have recommended for “technology detox”. 4. If not, according to Oxford Dictionary, Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smart phones, etc., as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.

Well, the choice remains in our hands. We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today. 5. Meanwhile, we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality.

A.Perhaps you may have heard of it.

B.We appreciate technology since it has its benefits.

C.If the Internet is down, all the tasks are over for the day.

D.Technology addiction has become a major problem among teenagers.

E.If thinking about these incidences makes you stressed, you are not alone.

F.Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology.

G.Today, most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone.

Our success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.
You will probably know from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, you，re returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach，expecting a satisfactory result，normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If, however, you present an argument with an angry, accusing tone, expecting trouble, there is little doubt that this is what you’ll get!
Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism (悲观) which largely comes down to having a positive or negative (消极的) attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something can’t be done; they talk about problems, see all the difficulties, find fault with and criticize other people and focus on all the things they would like but haven’t got. On the contrary, people blessed with a positive attitude think that anything is possible. They look for ways to solve the problems, they see the good in everybody，and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.
Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude, this is not something that is put on us from the outside. We are very much responsible for our own attitude. We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life. As children we are made fun of and even get bullied (欺侮) and rejected, start to experience doubt and lose our self-confidence. If this continues into adulthood, it can result in a bad attitude in later life.
1.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people are likely to treat others __________.
A. the way they are treated
B. better when they are satisfied
C. worse when they are in trouble
D. the way they consider appropriate
2.According to the writer, what affects people’s life attitude?
A. The situation they face.
B. The people around them.
C. Their expectations of life.
D. The way they view the world.
3.What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
A. To show how to avoid a negative attitude.
B. To show the importance of a positive attitude.
C. To share his positive attitude with his readers.
D. To describe the effects of a negative attitude.

We are more dependent on technology now than ever before-and for good reason. Our cell phones have more capabilities than laptops did 5 years ago. Technology is quickly becoming faster, more reliable, and yes, more portable.
Because of this, now is a great time to look into purchasing a laptop. Laptops now have the same computing power as desktops and are the least expensive they’ve ever been. If you’ re constantly on the go, it makes sense to have one.
We feature a lot of hot tech deals here at MakeUseOf, but if you’re in the market for a laptop, I've collected the top two laptop computers for you. I only looked at laptops priced under $1,000 that had at least 4GB of RAM, a dual-core processor, and came with Windows 7. Let’s see what we camp up with!
1. Sony Vaio FW 560F/T
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P7450/2. 13GHz
Memory: 6 GB（8GB Max）
Hard Drive: 500GB
This Sony Vaio laptop has a lot of features that make it very attractive. With a 16-inch screen, it is very slim. It has Blu-ray playback and decent gaming performance, although it doesn’t support 1080p. It makes for a very good multimedia notebook.
2. Samsung NP-R580-JSB1US
Processor: Intel Core i5 15-430M/2. 26GHz
Memory: 4 GB
Hard Drive: 500GB
This laptop comes with a Core i5 processor, NVIDIA graphics, and Blu-ray support. I’ve read that the touch-pad is uncomfortable at times, but the processing power and graphics make it a great laptop with decent battery life.
1.What is the normal memory of Sony Vaio FW560F/T?
A. 8G　　　　　　　 B. 5GB　　　　　　　 C. 4GB　　　　　　 D. 6GB
2.What’s the similarity of Sony Vaio FW560F/T and Samsung NP-R580-JSB1US?
A. Processor　　　　 B. Memory
C. Hard drive　　 D. Features
3.The underlined phrase “ makes sense” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by____.
A. is dependent　　 B. is meaningful
C. is reliable　　 D. is portable
4.Which of the following is true?
A. Our cell phones have more capabilities than laptops did 3 years ago.
B. Laptops now are the most expensive they’ve ever been.
C. Sony Vaio laptop is very attractive with a 16-inch screen.
D. Sony Vaio laptop supports 1080p.

It is an uncomfortable fact that civilized society is almost completely dependent upon fossil fuels in nearly every aspect. Whether you believe there are hundreds of years or just a few decades left of this resource, the fact remains that it is a limited resource. At some point, fossil fuels are going to either be gone or become too expensive to realistically use. That is, when fossil fuels become too expensive to use, people will just start using something else. Though this may work well in theory, actually shifting from fossil fuels is not the same as shifting from one brand of shampoo to another.
This is entirely due to the fact that humans rely so much on the infrastructure (基础设施) they have developed, which is entirely dependent upon this resource, accounting for 85% of the United State's energy use. If the world were entirely dependent upon solar energy, that would be fine because sunlight is a continuing resource. However, at the current state of things, humans are in a dangerous position owing to its complete dependence upon one single limited input.
Fossil fuels are also responsible for a significant amount of land, water, and air pollution beyond their carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) production. For example, coal mining brings solid wastes to the surface that would normally remain underground and the areas around a mine can remain barren (贫瘠的) for generations due to the lack of proper topsoil. The burning of coal for energy also produces many different types of particulate (微粒的) matter that pollutes the air. Compared with fossil fuels, renewable energy is far more environmentally friendly.
There exists an argument that renewable energy options are not as efficient as fossil fuels because the deployment (部署) of renewable energy equipment like the wind turbine (风力涡轮机) costs a lot of money. However, when factors such as pollution and climate change are considered, renewable energy is actually far more efficient than fossil fuels. And fossil fuels will be surely replaced by renewable energy whether it is your generation or your grandchildren's.
1.According to paragraph 1, we know fossil fuels ____.
A.are heavily depended on by humans
B.are a symbol of civilized society
C.are becoming more and more expensive
D.can be replaced by other resources soon
2.What does ''This'' in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.That it is necessary to use solar energy.
B.That it is hard to stop using fossil fuels.
C.That people have overconsumed fossil fuels.
D.That people have developed so many infrastructures.
3.What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A.To show the relationship between greenhouse gases and fossil fuels.
B.To present negative consequences brought by fossil fuels.
C.To introduce how carbon dioxide affects the environment.
D.To explain why fossil fuels should be used.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Renewable energy equipment is economically-beneficial.
B.Renewable energy produces less energy than fossil fuels.
C.It is very urgent for people to shift to renewable energy.
D.It is an unstoppable trend to use renewable energy.
