phenomenon?In a study publishedrecently in the Journal of Affective Disorders,researchers from the University of Florida(UF)and the Universityof Cincinnati examined the habits of 20 people who had spent more than 30 nonworking hours a week online forthe past three years.The participants described skipping sleep,ignoring family responsibilities,and showing uplate fbr work to fulfill their desire to visit chat rooms and surf the Web.The consequences were severe:Manysuffered from marital problems,failed in school or lost a job,and accumulated debt.The evidence points to apsychological disorder,so researchers probed further and found that the participants,habits met the criteria forimpulse control disorders,mental illnesses characterized by an uncontrollable desire to perform a behavior thatonce executed,is often followed by a huge sense of relief.Most of the participants had a history of additionalpsychiatric problems like eating disorders and manic(狂躁的)depression.Despite their apparent sufferings,the studys participants were not easily identifiable,says Nathan Shapira,Ph.D.,a UF assistant psychiatry professor and co-author of the study.These people were intelligent,well-respected community members,“he says.They were like your next-door neighbor-who just lost controLGiven the confounding(使混淆)nature of the participants,various symptoms,Shapira believes

its pains,and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives himwithout wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult.If a child has good parents,he is fed,lookedafter and loved whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much withouthaving to do anything in return.In addition,life is always presenting new things to the childthings that have losttheir interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his pains:he is not so free to dowhat he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things,or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living,he can no longer expect others to pay for his food,hisclothes,and his room,but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing aboutin the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to breakthe laws of his parents,he may go to prison.If,however,he words hard,keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.11.People can experience happiness if t hey.A.always think of the past and regret itB.value the presentC.are no longer youngD.become old and have much

not allowed to do what they like to do14.Children are usually happy b e c a u s e.A.old people lose interest in themB.they are free to do wrongC.they are familiar with everything going on around themD.things are new to them15.Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?A.Hard work.B.Being free from troubles.C.Wealth.D.Health.Passage FourA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders.Parentssaid that children did not respect and listen to them,while children said that their parents did not understand themat all.What had gone wrong?Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared?Actually,the generation gap hasbeen around for a long time.Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their ownways of life.In a more traditional society,when children grow up,they are expected to live in the same area astheir parents,to marry people that their parents know and like,and often to continue the family jobs.In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education,move out of the family at an early age,marry or livewith people whom their parents have never met,and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society,parents often expect their children to do better than they did,to find better jobs,to make moremoney and to do all the things that they were unable to do.Often,that is another cause of the gap between them.Often,they discover that they have very little in common with each olhe匚Finally,the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between thegenerations.In a traditional culture,senior people are valued for their knowledge,but in our society theknowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds,separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt,the generation gap will continue in American life for sometime to come.16.The first paragraph tells us t hat.A.the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB.it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC.children and parents are trying to understand each otherD.it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other17.In a more traditional

education than their parentsB.do no care for their children at allD.do no live together with their childrenB.marry people younger than them.D.leave home at an early age19.Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A.Young people like to depend more on themselves.B.Parents do not love their children dearly.C.American society changes rapidly.D.Parents expect too much of their children.20.The main idea of the passage is.A.that the generation gap needs consideringB.when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC.why the generation gap existsD.how we can reduce the generation gapPassage FiveFor a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gaycommunity was very much in sight and vocal（呼声高的）and successfully got support for its cause.Now we arerapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women.But no one istaking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking care ofchildren as well as her sick partner.She may not even have time to take care of herself.The HIV-positive womanends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems.Men,however,are usually the ones whohave insurance（保险）,income and access to doctors.They get care.Women often do not.The discrimination（歧视）against HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be more inactivethan men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease.Thisis not at all true.They get it from a man.They dont just simply have HIV.Of course,theres a socialdiscrimination against all people with HIV.They are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive andthat they will,therefore,be discriminated against.For example,its very difficult for people with HIV to travel.They are not allowed to enter many countries,including the United States,China and Russia.The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolation(孤立).Once the woman knowsshes HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will find out.She*s so frightened she will go into hiding,into an isolated place by herself.ICs not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly10 years and has never told anyone,except her doctor.And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.ButHIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it-whetherthat means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights-arelikely to live longe匚 Active women dont die out of shame in a comer.This happens to too many HIV-positivewomen.21.Women with HIV were ignored for a long time b e c a u s e.A)their effort to attract attention was not as successful as the HIV mensB)HIV men were the only concern over a long timeC)they often lived in a community that was hardly noticed by othersD)they failed to get support22.Which of the following statements is not true?A)HIV-positive women make up nearly half of all AIDS cases in the world.B)The high level of infection among women has been taken seriously.C)The gay community succeeded in getting support.D)There is social discrimination against all people with HIV.23.According to the passage,its difficult for women to deal with HIV but not b e c a u s e.A)they often lose their jobs after other people find out they are HIV-positiveB)they often have no access to doctorsC)they usually have the family problemD)they have little time left to take care of themselves24 Countries such as the United States and China are mentioned in the article in order to show that.A)there are
