Often its the charmingly old-fashioned bookshops that provide the p

10、erfect excuse to read uninterruptedly and to disconnect from the world. Until recently, the trend for fine coffee and high-speed Wi-Fi was considered by some in the citys bookish crowd to be ruining Londons centuries-old tradition of disconnected reading.But a crop of bookshops is fighting against c

11、razy online engagement and is creating environments where the real-life, Internet-free book reading is the most effective way to expand your social and professional networks. Leading the fighting is Libreria Books, which is in the company of Tenderbooks, Buchhandlung Wakther, Lutyens&Rubinstein etc.

12、, all independent book shops without high-speed Wi-Fi and coffee.Mr. Silva of Libreria was inspired to open his shop after experiencing a common suffering for Londons book-loversthe repeated ring tones of smart phones ruining the peace of his bookshop experience. He wanted to get people reading with

13、out interruption. He said, “You can get Wi-Fi anywhere now, its not necessary in a bookshop.”Their mantra(原则) has drawn a wise, brainy crowd. The bookshop should be an escape from an information overload. “ If someone gets a phone call, they leave the shop. Its the same with the Internetpeople just

14、know this isnt the space for being on line.” said Tamsin Clark, owner of Tender books. And in face of the Internet overload, some stores are proving to be among Londons hottest places.Mr. Silva said “an old-fashioned space” is clearly appealing to book lovers. He said his shop has had twice as many

15、customers as expected, with visitors from as far as Australia and China. Faced with a bookshelf recommended by the Queen or surrounded by first editions, who wants to download a morning full of emails?1. What would literary tourists like to find in an old-fashioned bookshop?A. High-speed Wi-Fi. B. S

16、ocial networks.C. Peaceful reading time. D. Free coffee.2. Why did Mr. Silva of Libreria decide to open his own bookshop?A. He saw the trend of running bookshops.B. He aimed at banning Wi-Fi in bookshops.C. He had an unpleasant reading in a bookshop.D. He was inspired by other bookshop owners.3. Wha

17、t do Londons bookish crowd think of the Internet-free bookshops?A. Attractive. B. Outdated.C. Fashionable. D. Professional.4. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?A. You can still work efficiently.B. People prefer reading to being connected.C. Emails keep coming in all morning.D.

18、 People have no access to downloading emails.BAmericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own o

19、rigins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab wont start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.The

20、American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future one

21、 or two years or, at the most，five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The Ame

22、rican calculates how much time is required to do everything. “ Ill be there in ten minutes. ” “ It will take six months to finish that job. ” “ I was in the Army for four and a half years. ”The Americans, like so many other people，also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occ

23、urs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of Bs murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult f

24、or us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage in long-range planning.5.How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph? A. Its valueless. B. Its limited. C. It reflects today. D. It helps start a talk.6.What does the underlined phrase “to

25、 do so” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. To calculate the value of the past. B. To plan a schedule for future events. C. To figure out the importance of time. D. To meet deadlines and appointments.7.When will Americans chain two events together? A. When common evidence is found. B. When the two events ha

26、ppen one by one. C. When A is found near the scene of Bs crime. D. When one event happens long after another.8.What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do? A.See time further. B. Make a long-range plan. C.Remember the past time. D. Keep their commitments.CAre we getting more stupid? Acc

27、ording to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are. You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. “If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to

28、 modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us,” Crabtree told The Guardian. At the heart of Crabtrees thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or

29、 stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture, when our ancestors began to live in crowded farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced. This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going you ne

30、ed the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty makes you lose weight when summer comes. And the same is also true of our intelligence if we think less, we become less smart. These mutations(变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in

31、 the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us. However, Crabtrees theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing a tiger doesnt necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover
