Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, lets talk about culture. The difference be

20、tween the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the meeting influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to

21、meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer see you there at 8, but text me around 8 and well se

22、e where we all are.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the talkers and the texters-those who prefer voice to text message and those who

23、 prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phones individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to pres

24、ent a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the speakeasy: the head is held high, in a self-confident way,

25、 chatting away. And there is the spacemaker: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on peoples privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you neednt worry so

26、 much. After all, it is good to talk.41. When people plan to meet nowadays, they_.A) arrange the meeting place beforehand B) postpone fixing the place till last minuteC) seldom care about when and where to meet D) still love to work out detailed meeting plans.42. According to the two British researc

27、hers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen on_.A) Talkers B) the speakeasyC) the spacemaker D) texters43. We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are_.A) quite revealingB) well written C) unacceptable by othersD) shocking to others44. According to the

28、 passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobileA) talkers B) the speakeasy C) the spacemaker D) texters45. An appropriate title for the passage might be_.A) the SMS effect B) cultural implication of mobile useC) change in the use of the mobile D) body language and the mobile phone

29、!Text BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is working-class or middle-class-are one area in which chan

30、ges have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence

31、. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her housekeeping, would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of th
