11、tes that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well. First, lets talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a fixed-line phone goes to a place. If you call my mobile,

12、 you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it. This has several implications（含义）. 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 meet. Tw

13、enty 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 see whe

14、re we all are.” Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS (Short Message Service) Text Messaging”, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”those who prefer voice to

15、text messages and those who 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 tex

16、ting allowed texters to present 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

17、 high, in a self-confident way, 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（侵入）on peoples privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you ne

18、rvous. But perhaps you neednt worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.21.The “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that _. A. people are able to meet someone at any place and any time B. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meet C. people can arrange their

19、meeting place and time more flexibly D. people have to attend more phone meetings than ever before22. According to the two British researchers, the Social and Psychological Effects are most likely to be seen on _.A. talkers B.texters C. the “spacemaker” D. the “speakeasy” 23. According to the passag

20、e, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile? A. talkers B.the “spacemaker” C. the “speakeasy” D. texters24. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. The Influence of Short Message ServiceB. Changes in the Use of the MobileC. Body Language and the Mobile PhoneD.

21、 Changes Caused by Mobile Phone UseB Once, a peasant exhausted by illnesses and burdens of life came to a wise man. He sat in front of the wise man who gave him a social and warm smile, and breathed out heavily, letting out a wave of mourning. He began complaining that he had a hard burden and that

22、he didnt see the bright daylight at all. It seemed that one problem fell on his head after another. They had twisted (扭曲) him so much that he couldnt even breathe in some fresh air. Later, he began blaming all of his relatives, who, in his opinion, were guilty for his misfortune. The wise man listen

23、ed to him in silence, and when the peasant once again inquired why it was so unfair, what he should do and how to find peace, the wise man got up from his seat and invited the peasant to follow him. They came out of the hut and went to a lakeside, which was not far away and where from time to time f

24、lying fishes were jumping fast above the surface, catching food. The wise man led the peasant to the lakeside and said to him, “You see the smoothness of the lake? The depths are full of life. There are fishes that always stay in water, and if suddenly the lake gets polluted, they cant see further t

25、han their own noses. They will hardly recognize where the source of pollution is, and they will keep swimming in circles. And there are also fishes that get wings and they can rise above the water of the lake, looking at it from the height of their flight. So this is my advice: instead of complainin
