Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee，according to an Australian study.

The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not.Study author Brent Coker said，“Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”

“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention，” Coker said on the university's website.“Having a short break，such as a quick surfing of the Internet，helps the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work，and as a result，increases productivity(生产效率)，”he said.

According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours.Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos.“Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos，using social networking sites or shopping online，” said Coker.“That's not always a good idea.”

However，Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度)，or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office.“Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without，” he said.

As for old people，some of the applications are hard to use because they didn't grow up with them.They don't have simple models of how they should work，what to do when something doesn't work or where to go for help.We make it as easy as possible to be used for people who are not familiar with the technology.

I think there is huge potential and we are designing it.The ability to connect to friends，who remember the same movies，news and music，is really important，especially as people get old.They end up in retirement at home and they aren't always close to their friends.Allowing the network to help them connect with friends and family is a really powerful thing.

My mother is an enthusiastic user of the Internet, although it took me years to get her to use e­mail.She was born with normal hearing，but lost it when she was 3.She was totally deaf for many years，until age 53，when she got ear aids.They work really well.That is a big change for her.But before then，her friends couldn't call her on the phone，so they suggested she use e­mail to communicate with them.

Young people don't even think of the Internet as technology.It's just there，and they use it.There's been a very interesting change in communication styles between old people and young people.There are some kids who are now in their teens and aren't willing to make phone calls.And they think e­mail is old­fashioned and slow.

The reason why teens don't make phone calls seems to be that they don't know what to say.When they call，they often stop for a while and there's a silence.On the other hand，texting is considered proper，and it's okay if you don't answer.You might have been distracted.It's not rude.But it is strange if you're in this kind of conversation and simply stop talking.

【语篇解读】　文章主要阐述了对于老年人来说，一些新的科技太复杂而不能得到充分利用。作者对老年人和青少年对电话和网络等的使用进行了比较。

5．What is the trouble that old people meet when surfing the  Internet?

A．They don't know how to use some applications.

B．They have to buy electronic productions at a high price.

C．There is no professional teacher to teach them how to use    the Internet.

D．They have no friends to communicate with online.

A　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As for old people，some of the applications are hard to use because they didn't grow up with them.”可知，老年人上网时遇到的麻烦是他们不知道如何使用一些应用程序，故选A项。]

6．What do the young people think of the Internet according  to the passage?

A．Interesting.　　　 B．Amazing.

C．Boring. D．Common.

D　[推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“Young people don't even think of the Internet as technology.It's just there，and they use it.”可推知，年轻人认为网络是常见的东西，故选D项。]

7．We can infer from the passage that the author is a ________．

A．company manager B．program designer

C．college professor D．mobile phone seller

B　[推理判断题。文章首段提到电脑的一些应用程序对老年人来说很复杂，然后根据第二段中的“I think there is huge potential and we are designing it.”可推断，作者是一名编程人员，故选B项。]

8．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．You have replied the message.

B．You have walked away from the conversation.

C．You have been cut off.

D．You have asked for a pardon.

B　[句意猜测题。根据最后一段中的“But it is strange if you're in this kind of conversation and simply stop talking.”可推知，画线部分“You might have been distracted.”的意思是“你可能注意力没有集中在谈话上”。故选B项。]

Ⅲ.阅读七选五

Things to Know When You Write an E­mail Message

For most of the twentieth century，people communicated by telephone or by mail.This is now changing，and e­mail is becoming the preferred method of communication.It's faster than traditional mail.  1  As e­mail is becoming popular，here are several rules we need to know.

Be polite and friendly.

Start your message with a greeting.If you are writing to a friend，you can begin with Hi，Sandra.If you are writing to your teacher，begin your message with Dear Mr.Atonso.  2  Many people just type their names.Others say Bye，Cheers，or use abbreviations(缩写) like BFN (bye for now)．

Look good.

When someone receives an e­mail message from you，they might not know anything about you.They will judge you from your e­mail message，so make yourself look good.  3  Sometimes sentences seem clear when you write them，but don't make sense when you read them back.

  4 

If you start to use your e­mail several times a week，your message box will soon fill with mail.After a few weeks，you can have a list of 60 or 70 messages! It is easy to delete(删除) the messages you don't want anymore.If your messages are important，you can save them in folders(文件夹)．  5  It only takes a few minutes to learn.

A．Organize your e­mail.

B．It's cheaper than a phone call.

C．The e­mail must be addressed correctly.

D．Type your message，and then read it again.

E．You need a closing at the end of your e­mail.

F．If you don't know how to do that，just ask a friend.

【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了写电子邮件时需要注意的几个问题。

3．D　[由该段小标题Look good.和该空后的“Sometimes sentences...when you read them back.”可知，写完电子邮件后要再读一遍，故选D项。]

4．A　[本段主要论述了及时整理邮件的重要性，故用A项作为小标题最恰当。]

5．F　[由该空前的“you can save them in folders”和该空后的“It only takes a few minutes to learn.”可知，F项内容符合此处语境。]
