2、选出正确的一项。每题2分，共30分。ACaught in the Web A few months ago, it wasnt unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. Shed wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills

3、piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem. I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart kind of slipping into a depression, said Carla. I knew that if I didnt get off the datin

4、g sites, Id just keep going, detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world. Toebes conclusion: She felt like she was addicted to the Internet. Shes not alone. Concern about excessive Internet use isnt new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylv

5、ania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. Theres still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible. But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study p

6、ublished in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negat

7、ive experiences tied to too much time on the Web. Theres no question that therere people whore seriously in trouble because theyre overdoing their Internet involvement, said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction. Jonathan Bishop, a res

8、earcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more skeptical. The Internet is an environment, he said. You cant be addicted to theenvironment. Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans i

9、n place of time spent online. The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by StanfordUniversity researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that their relationships suffered because of exce

10、ssive Internet use. About 9% attempted to conceal nonessential Internet use, and nearly 4% reported feeling preoccupied by the Internet when offline. About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they found it hard to stay away from the Internet for severa

11、l days at a time. The Internet problem is still in its infancy, said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. Theyre online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. not limited to porn (色情) or gambling websites. Excessive Inte

12、rnet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but in terms of losses, said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. If its a loss youre not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then its too much.Since the early 1990s, several clinics ha

13、ve been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior. The website for Orzacks center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction: Having a sense of well-being (幸福) o

14、r excitement while at the computer. Longing for more and more time at the computer. Neglect of family and friends. Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer. Lying to employers and family about activities. Inability to stop the activity. Problems with school or job. Physical sym

15、ptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances. People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being o

16、nline offers a sense of belonging, and escape, excitement fun, she said. Some people say reliefbecause they find themselves so relaxed. Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world.

17、 One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a gaming addiction. Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but thats nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hour

18、s a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which s told him hed gained weight. Theres this whole culture of competition that sucks people in with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. People do it at th

19、e expense of everything that was a constant in their lives. Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check. Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized s

20、he had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: I have an Internet Addiction. Im self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but Im failing to accomplish my work,to take care of my home, to give attention to my children, she wrote in a message s

21、ent to the group.I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I cant even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything. Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. I have a boyfriend now, and Im not interested in online dating, she said

24、 be solved if people _.A. try to improve the Internet environmentB. become aware of its serious consequencesC. can realize what is important in lifeD. can reach a consensus on its definitionB Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wante

25、d to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. Thats when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volun

26、teer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. E

27、ventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report fo

28、r the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they of

29、fered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during

30、that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.24. What do we know about the author?A
