34、ce is shared by many. Shortly after the season when new products are released, many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.As consumers minds are occupied by Apples newly released products and debate whether the Google table

35、t is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?According to Donald Norman, an American author, “planned obsolescence (淘 汰）” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of todays consumer electronics industry.Electronics prod

36、ucers strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.“This is an old-time trick- theyre not inventing anything new,” Norman said. “This is a wasteful system through which companies-many of them

37、 producing personal electronics - release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six months or a year, theyll put out a new one.”But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system ，as Norman admitted， “We now want something new ，something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In it

When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2011, just 15% of the most 1.5 million stu

44、dents wrote their answers in cursive (草写字母）.The rest? Block letters.And those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less. As a result, more and more students struggle to

45、read and write cursive.At Keene Mill Elementary School in Springfield, all their poems and stories are typed. Children in Fairfax County schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten. Older students who never mastered handwriting say it doesnt affect their grades.There are those who say t

46、he culture is at a crossing, turning from the written word to the typed one. If handwriting becomes a lost form of communication, does it matter?It was at University of Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by Robert, written in his unique script. Handwritten docume

47、nts are more valuable to researchers, historians say, because their authenticity (真实性）can be confirmed. Students also find them more fascinating.The loss of handwriting also may be a cognitive (认知的）opportunity missed. Several academic studies have found that good handwriting skills at a young age ca

48、n help children express their thoughts better-a lifelong benefit.It doesnt take much to teach better handwriting skills. At some schools in Prince Georges County, elementary school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day. They learn the correct formation of manus

49、cript letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.There are always going to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological (神经系统的)wiring, learning issues or poor motor skills.

College.EUp to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia -short-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the extraord

53、inary rise in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的） beyond 2m. It is often caused by an elongation (拉抻)of the eyeball that happens when people are young. According

54、 to the research, the problem is being caused by a combination of factors - a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework. This in itself puts pressure

55、on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.Cultural factors also seem to play a part. Across many parts of South East Asia9 children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-

56、sightedness.A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from “high” myopia. One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障碍）and even blindness. These people are at considerable risk-sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses-

57、they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. But this study strongly suggests an alternative view. Any type of simple genetic

58、 explanation just doesnt fit with that speed of change; gene pools just dont change in two generations.

Its of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.49. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing pr

61、oblem.B. The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.C. Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.D. An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.50. Whats the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?A.Equip the classroom wit

66、er drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth.Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea where they are going. Women dont drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find themselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a

67、man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out hes made another wrong turn.Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more sp

68、eeding tickets than women. Not because women trick to get out of tickets but only because they dont speed. Women dont risk putting their own lives and the lives of others in danger. In other words ，they have more responsibility for life.My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them dr

69、ive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible. Theyre totally lost in loud music beyond a necessary level. You dont ever see women driving like that.I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are queens of
