21、s success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved (铺路) the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life.Chow broke into the film industr

22、y in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund”(上海滩) and “A Better Tomorrow”. Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwans Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards. In 1995, he went to Hollywo

23、od. Although he was already over 40, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds.

Weboholism, a twentieth century disea

28、se, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive (难以控制的) habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive beh

29、avior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessive behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is af

30、fected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and dont concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at schools. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They

31、 spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their b

32、ehavior, they begin to isolate (使隔离) themselves from the society and live with their virtual (虚拟的) friends.

Distances between them appear no greater to a mo

37、dern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet plane fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been

38、 paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured. The boat offers leisure and time enough to enjoy the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plain

39、s sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.

The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the

Journeys by rail and sea take long

No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working li

42、ves of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed con

43、trols peoples lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.61.
