Candlewick Press D. Houghton Mifflin HarcourtBMy mother had guest soaps in the bathroom. In a home with very few
18、 luxuries (奢侈品), those tiny roses of grape purple and lemon yellow represented something special to her; they were something she wanted to keep nice for our guests. So she kept them in a covered glass container, where they would be safe from the many sets of little fingers in our household that need
19、ed washing. Those soaps decorated the shelf in the bathroom for as long as I can remember. There they stayed, displayed until dust caked in the container, and the roses lost their beauty. But they were never used.Fast forward to my adult life. When we were visiting my in-laws, it was casually given.
20、 No big deal; everyone got one. It was just a bar of soap, wrapped in beautiful paper with a lovely label showing that this soap had been made not by machine but somebody who just happened to be my new brother-in-law. That soap was only a few dollars, but I carried the weight of it for years. It was
21、 guest soap.It was too pretty to use. It was proudly set out to be looked at, but not used, for about a week. My practical husband did not see the point of it cluttrng up (胡乱填满) th countertop. An empty childhood bedroom where there was a glassed-in display shelf was the new home for the soap.I loved
22、 this room. Bright and sunny, it was filled with furnishings and things I loved. When I got sick, it became my recovery room. I could rest there surrounded by happy memories. As I got better, I took inventory (盘点) of my life, and of my surroundings. And, I saw the soap.I saw something that was meant
23、 to be used, not admired. I took that carefully wrapped soap off the shelf and opened it with a sense of childish delight. Then I ran it under water. As I concentrated on the bubbles (气泡) building between my hands, I felt all my troubles washing away with those tiny bubbles. It became a moment of pu

26、ed. C. Carefree. D. Disappointed.CWhile the Internet has met the needs of sight and sound, it has not reached touch, taste, and smell yet. Several groups are trying to break those barriers. Immersion is developing a system called“TouchSense”. With the plug-in they provide for free at their site and
27、the correct type of mouse, one can actually “feel” the sensation of different things online. The sense of smell is not far down the line either. Another company , DigiScents is developing technology that will allow folks to literally download smells. The sense of smell plays an important role in fur
28、ther involving the user in the virtual world. But what does this all mean to society? Will people be so won over by the technology and the experiences there that they will forget about the“read world”? There are several books, games and TV series based on the idea of“cyberaddiction”.For example , a
29、popular science fiction book, Neuromancer by William Gibson, goes to great lengths to describe the addiction of living in a VR(Virtual Reality) world. A movie, Strange Days ,has a person dealing in recorded emotions and experiences to sell to a VR addicted market, But can those things really happen?
30、 I believe so. I believe if we dont watch ourselves we will fall into that state of addiction where VR becomes “Better-Than-Life”.The world around us is filled with so many painful things that the Internet and the temptation (诱惑) to escape through VR are quite strong.Over the last couple of years as
31、 Ive run various games online, Ive seen more and more people join in and participate. People are more accepting of“playing”in these virtual worlds.The world is different now and the Internet, all it has to offer and all it will offer in the future, will increasingly become our lifelines. If were not careful, fiction will become reality. The addiction is already there.28. What can we know about DigiScents technology?A. It will encourage people to focus on themselves.B. It will drag more and more people into cyberadd
