13、 concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish.Our attention span （时长） is getting shorter .and its all because of technology. “We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” said Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “an

14、d 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 you

15、ng 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 th

16、ey concentrate on one subject for longer.” Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve studentsconcentration. 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 the

17、m calmer, and their concentration was much better.” 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 isnt worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, befo

18、re stopping 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.

D.Making decisions.10.What will help students overcome a short attention span?Composing music.B.Texting messages C.Reading more books.D.Watching quickie movie

20、s.11.What is Ray Coles attitude towards looking through websites quickly? A.Cautious. Unfavorable. C.Skeptical. D.Supportive.D The 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 achi

21、evement. The many expressions of human naturewould 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 beens

22、cience. 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 sci

23、ence 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 progressneeds to be mapped tidily onto human progress. That relies on moral sensibility in its wide

24、st 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 desirea sense of moral purpose which would give life dignity. People want to determine how the world works, not always to be determined by it

25、. 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 o

26、wn 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 o

27、f human progress.C. Peoplebegan 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
