Internet Helps Families Stay More in Touch

Much has been said about how anti-social the Internet and mobile phones are.The truth is however,according to new research,communication technology is bringing people closer together. A study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found family members were keeping in regular contact today more than ever before. And this is all down to e-mail,chat,our cellphones and SMS messaging. It makes sense.Years ago,it took a long time to write a letter,then find an envelope and go to the post office to buy a stamp and post it.Today we write mails while we wait for our change in the convenience store and they're sent in an instant.Having free Internet telephone calls also helps us to stay in touch more often and for longer. Everyone's using it,from five-year-olds to tech-savvy grandparents.
According to the Pew survey,technology has a very positive effect on communication within families.Researchers asked 2,252 adults whether new technologies had increased the quality of communication with their family. Fifty-three percent said it increased communication with family members they did not live with,two percent said technology decreased this.Numbers were similar for those living in the same house as their family.The project director Lee Rainey said:"There's a new kind of connectedness being built inside of families with these technologies."Survey co-author Barry Wellman agreed:"It used to be that husbands went off to work,wives went off to a different job or else stayed home…and the kids went off to school…and not until 5:30 or 6 o'clock did they ever connect,"he said.

What does the verb"tech-savvy"mean?
A:Being frightened by new technology.
B:Knowing a lot about technological things.
C:Knowing little about technological things.
D:Being indifferent to new technology.

They canreply at their convenience, and you can readwhat they have to say at your convenience.E-mailis also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live faraway. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch,even daily touch,with their children off at college.Wejust have to keep touch in mind that computers and the Internet offer anotherway of staying in touch.

考题 共用题干 第三篇 Mobile Phones : Are They about to Transform Our Lives?We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow,yet we are increasingly concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach.We use them to convey our most intimate secrets,yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy.We rely on them more than the Internet to cope with modern life,yet many of us don't believe advertisements saying we need more advanced services.Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generation phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts（天线竿）,a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practicalcommunications tool to become the backbone（支柱）of modern social life,from love affairs to friendship to work.One female teacher,32,told the researchers:"I love my phone.It's my friend."The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report says,who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity.This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents.But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles,especially text messaging,are seen as a way of overcoming shyness."Texting is often used for apologies,to excuse lateness or to communicate other things that make us uncomfortable,"the report says.The impact of phones,however,has been local rather than global,supporting existing friendships and networks,rather than opening users to a new broader community.Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones,the report claims,will be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure（基础设施）,providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users.The report calls on government to put more effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone,with suggestions including public transport and traffic information and doctors' text messages to remind patients of appointments."I love that idea,"one user said in an interview."It would mean I wouldn't have to write a hundred messages to myself."There are many other possibilities.At a recent trade fair in Sweden,a mobile navigation product was launched.When the user enters a destination,a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voice,pictures and maps as they drive. In future , these devices will also be able to plan around congestion（交通堵塞）and road works in real time.Third generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain scientists are developing an asthma（哮喘）management solution,using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.Which of the following statements is true?A:Modern social life relies significantly on the use of mobile phones.B:Mobile phones make romantic communication more difficult.C:Mobile phones encourage people to make friends.D:Mobile phones enable people of different countries to talk without translation.

Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practicalcommunications tool to become the backbone（支柱）of modern social life,from love affairs to friendship to work.One female teacher,32,told the researchers:"I love my phone.It's my friend."The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report says,who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity.This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents.But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles,especially text messaging,are seen as a way of overcoming shyness."Texting is often used for apologies,to excuse lateness or to communicate other things that make us uncomfortable,"the report says.The impact of phones,however,has been local rather than global,supporting existing friendships and networks,rather than opening users to a new broader community.Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones,the report claims,will be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure（基础设施）,providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users.The report calls on government to put more effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone,with suggestions including public transport and traffic information and doctors' text messages to remind patients of appointments."I love that idea,"one user said in an interview."It would mean I wouldn't have to write a hundred messages to myself."There are many other possibilities.At a recent trade fair in Sweden,a mobile navigation product was launched.When the user enters a destination,a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voice,pictures and maps as they drive. In future , these devices will also be able to plan around congestion（交通堵塞）and road works in real time.Third generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain scientists are developing an asthma（哮喘）management solution,using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.It is suggested that mobile phones should be used toA:give the address of the nearest hospital.B:show bus and train timetables.C:arrange delivery of mails.D:cure diseases.

考题 共用题干 第三篇Cell Phones : Hang Up or Keep Talking?Millions of people are using cell phones today.In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one.In many countries,cell phones are very popular with young people.They find that the phones are more than a means of communication一having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried.Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones.In England,there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand,why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones?Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning （扫描）equipment.
