For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE(1) Philip had a squeamish appetite, and the thick slabs of poor batter on the bread turned his stomach, but he saw. other boys scraping it off and followed their example. They all had potted meats and such like, which they had brought in their play-boxes; and some had ‘extras,’ eggs or bacon, upon which Mr. Watson made a profit. When he had asked Mr. Carey whether Phillip was to have these, Mr. Carey replied that he did not think boys should be spoilt. Mr. Watson quite agreed with him—he considered nothing was better than bread and batter for growing lads—but some parents, unduly pampering their offspring, insisted on it.(2) Philip noticed that ‘extras’gave boys a certain consideration and made up his mind, when he wrote to Aunt Louisa, to ask for them.(3) After breakfast the boys wandered out into the playground. Here the day-boys were gradually assembling. They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the depot, and of such manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed. Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school. This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two under-masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr. Watson, who taught the first form. To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second. Philip was put in the last. The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice; he had a cheerful manner with boys, and the time passed quickly. Philip was surprised when it was quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes’ rest.(4) The whole school rushed noisily into the playground. The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls. They began to play Pig in the Middle.”The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when. one was seized and the mystic words said—one, two, three, and a pig for me—he became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free. Philip saw a boy running past and tried to catch him but his limp gave him no chance; and the runners taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered. Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip’s clumsy run. Other boys saw it andbegan to laugh; then they all copied the first; and they ran round Philip, limping comically, screaming with shrill laughter. They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment. One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cat his knee. They laughed all the louder when he got up. A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him. The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip’s deformity. Philip was completely scared. He could not make out why they were laughing at him. His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life. He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing; they shouted to him to try and catch them; but he did not move. He did not want them to see him run any more. He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.41. F rom the beginning of the passage we learn that ____________.A. the school had only three classesB. the school only accepted day-boysC. some pupils came from the local areaD. Philip’s class was part of the senior school42. W hat was Philip’s reaction to his class?A. He seemed to have enjoyed it.B. He found his class surprising.C. He thought class was too short.D. He wanted to change class.43. H ow did Philip feel in the end?A. He was ashamed of himself.B. He was very nervous.C. He was really horrified.D. He felt himself stupid.PASSAGE TWO(1) For parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,”it would be very appropriate to add, “If you can handle the stress of college life.”(2) Today’s college experience is much different than it was a generation ago—and not just because of higher tuition bills and Facebook. Today’s students are under a massive amount of stress.(3) Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest research study that reported students’ emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985. While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs. At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.(4) Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress. Some students drop out or transfer, while an alarming number turn to alcohol. Instead, these students should build their emotional and mental resilience.(5) My colleague Robert A. Rees, a former dean at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a former director at the Institute of HeartMath, and I wrote a new book, “The College De-Stress Handbook: Keeping Cool Under Pressure from the Inside Out,” to put the intimate knowledge of stress and proven methods for handling it in the context of higher education.(6) As we say in the book: “One of the most rewarding times for college students is when they first sense that their gifts, talents and abilities are beginning to blossom. This realization is generally accompanied by increased self-confidence and a keener sense of direction and purpose. Many things become clearer. During such times, students tap into a state that heightens their focus and increases their creativity and productivity.(7) Let me share five facts that I believe every college student should know about stress.(8) First, stress can make smart people do stupid things. Stress causes what brain researchers call“cortical inhibition”. In simple terms, stress hinders a part of the brain responsible for decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.(9) Second, the human body doesn’t discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one. Any stressful experience will create about 1,400 biochemical events in your body. If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.(10) Third, stress can become your new pattern. When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state. This then becomes the new pattern, or baseline for your emotional state.(11) Over time, high stress can become dangerous because you are constantly flooding your system with cortisol-the stress hormone-and adrenaline. When you’re in this flight or fight state it also increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure, alters your immune system responses and suppresses the digestive system. It can even suppress the reproductive system and growth processes. The bottom line is that long-term activation of the stress-response puts you at increased risk of numerous health problems, including: depression, sleep problems, memory impairment, obesity, digestive problems and more.(12) Fourth, stress can be controlled. Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional state using emotion- refocusing techniques. These techniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.(13) One technique involves slowing your thoughts and focusing on your heartbeat, breathing slowly and deeply, and focusing on the positive feeling that you receive.(14) Finally, stress can be lessened if you love what you study. Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy. It is suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy. Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.44. T he author cites the latest research study in order to show that ____________.A. students are studying harder in collegeB. most students have part-time jobs nowC. stress continues to the time of graduationD. students only feel stressed while in school45. A ccording to the passage, stress might cause all the following negative effects EXCEPT ________.A. socialB. mentalC. emotionalD. physical46. I n the author’s opinion, stress can be controlled by ____________.A. doing what you preferB. focusing on your emotional stateC. finding a more positive feeling firstD. identifying your present emotional state first47. W hich of the following is the best as the title of the passage?A. Causes of Stress.B. Types of Stress.C. College Life and Stress.D. Stress and Control Methods.PASSAGE THREE(1) The period of adolescence has fascinated people of all ages. Adolescence means ‘growing-up’and strictly speaking should apply to a child from birth to maturity. Why then do we use it for this teenage period alone? Because when we speak of the adolescent as ‘growing-up’, we mean that the youth is leaving behind the phase of protective childhood and is becoming independent, capable of going out to fend for himself.(2) A characteristic of ‘growing-up’ is a desire to be venturesome—so unlike the dependence of thechild and the set ways of the adult. The adolescent seeks for new experience in life, and likes roughing it. In their camps and hiking, for example, boys and girls seek uncomfortable and difficult conditions—and then set about making themselves comfortable in them. They deliberately seek difficulties in order to overcome them.(3) The adolescent also loves responsibility. The boy likes to be given the job of packing the luggage in the car; the girl, the responsibility of getting the younger children ready for the trip. This is a natural urge and requires expression.(4) The healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life, to do the things that matter. He would rather be a plumber’s mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics sitting at a desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is presumably why the experts enforce this in our educational system. But it is not the natural way—nor, I venture to think, the best way. The adolescent wants to do things first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about them.(5) They do these things better in primitive life, for there the adolescent boy joins his father in making canoes and going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual accomplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists (人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties”as those of civilized life. This is not, as some assume, because they are permitted more freedom, but because they are given more natural outlets for their native interests and powers and allowed to grow up freely into a full life of responsibility in the community.(6) In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system, which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter or thatcher, to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending, and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a year’s work on a farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantage of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them, and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical work.(7) Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world, the period of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it did in a more primitive community, and the responsibility for such education, which formerly was in the hands of the parents, is now necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle, namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibility in the real pursuits of life and then to learn how-to learn through responsibility, not to learn before responsibility.48. T he main advantage of the natural way of education, whether in primitive or modern times, is thatlearners ____________.A. are given opportunities to develop their interest firstB. are given more freedom in doing things and learningC. can work with their masters throughout their learningD. can learn the trade through solving problems at work49. A ccording to the author, learning should now be done in school for all the following reasonsEXCEPT that ____________.A. more subjects are to be coveredB. more parents should be involved in teachingC. there should be a deeper understanding of a subjectD. more time is needed for becoming independent50. W hich of the following best sums up the author’s main point?A. The apprenticeship system was effective in learning.B. Students should be given more freedom in learning.C. Students develop their interest through learning.D. Learning to solve problems is learning through responsibility.SECTION B SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are five short answer questions based on the passages in Section A.

With the tools of technology, man has altered many physical features of the earth. However, these changes in the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the air and water is a danger to the health of the planet. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding countryside.

Many people think young people should be given opportunities to exercise leadership. In their views, there are three factors contributing to this attitude. In the first place, with innovative ideas and endless vitality, young leaders can keep an organization invigorating and sustainable. Furthermore, young people are always innovators and explorers, who can bring great possibilities to the development of an organization. Finally, young leaders are easier to carry out their work since they have less to worry about in terms of personal matters.However, others think that young people cannot handle the emergencies better than the old. They also believe that elderly people are more qualified to be leaders since they are more experienced. Besides, there is no denying that people may disobey the orders of young leaders just because they are too young.As far as I am concerned, I firmly support the view that young people should be encouraged to be leaders because youth means limitless possibilities. However, young people should receive related training before they become leaders. Besides, they still have a lot to learn from the old.2014-TEM4-11。

W: Rod, I hear you’ll be leaving at the en d of this month. Is it true?M: Yeah. I’ve been offered a much better position with anothe r firm. I’d be a fool to turn it down.Q: Why is the man quitting his job?6. W: I honestly don’t want to continue the gardening tomorro w, Tony?M: Neither do I.

W: Has the mechanic called the bus repairers?M: Not yet .I’ll let you know when he calls.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Conversation one:M: Hello. Matt Ellis speaking.W: Hello, D r. Ellis, my name’s Pan Johnson. My roommate, J anet Holmes, wanted me to call you.M: Janet Holmes? Oh, that’s right. She’s in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her?W: Nothing, it’s just that she submitted a job application yest e rday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She’s a fraid she won’t be able to attend your class this afternoon though. I’m calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay.

I’ll tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box, and I’ll get it when I return.W: I sure appreciate it. Goodbye, Dr. Ellis.M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have j ust heard.9. Why couldn’t the woman’s roommate attend the Shakespeare an English class that afternoon?10. What favor is the woman going to do for her roommate?11. What does the woman want to know at the end of the co nversation?Passage OneMost American college students need to be efficient readers. T his is necessary because full-time students probably have to read se veral hundred pages every week. They don't have time to read a c hapter three or four times. They need to extract as much informatio n as possible from the first or second reading.An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mar k a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark ne w vocabulary in a different color. Most students write questions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a useful skill, but it' s important to do it right. First, read a chapter with one pen in yo ur hand and others next to you on the desk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you mark anything. Don't mark too much. Usuall y you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your o wn system for marking. For example, maybe you will mark main i deas in yellow, important details in blue and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don't understand something and before an exam. Instead, you just need t o review your marks and you can save a lot of time.16. What should American college students do to cope with th eir heavy reading assignments?17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a te xtbook?18. How should students prepare for an exam according to the speaker?Passage TwoThe thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn't a p leasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours of sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, however, ca n get by with just a few hours of sleep at night.It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But ever yone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thoug ht that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a ve ry basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home i n New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never slep t. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rockin g chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were puzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, having slept at all.19. What is taken for granted by most people?20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin's case?21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin's sleeplessness? Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second lang uage teachers, are those which are identical in form, but different i n meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Columbian who wan ts someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement, i n which all the fingers of one hand cupped point downward as the y move rapidly back and forth. Speakers of English have a similar gesture, though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely. But for them, the gesture means "goodbye" o r "go away", quite the opposite of the Columbian gesture. Again in Columbia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height, he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is referring to a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand parallel to the floor, as he would i n his own culture when making known the height of a child for ex ample, he will very likely be greeted by laughter. In Columbia, this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to desc ribe human beings, he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have t he same gesture physically, but its meaning differs sharply.四级听力答案Section A:1.B Use a ladder to help her reach the tea.2.

If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as n early full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safet y. Do not tend to walk to find help. You may quickly lose your w ay in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slig htly for fresh air. Freezing rain can seal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure t hat snow has not blocked the exhaust pipe. Clap your hands and m ove your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one pos ition too long. But, do not move too much. Exercise warms you u p, but it also causes you to lose body heat. If more than one perso n is in the car, do not sleep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside light at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue cre ws. Don’t panic. Stay with your car.Question 16-18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What does the speaker say you should do in winter with y our car?17. What should you avoid doing if a storm traps you in the car?18. Why is too much exercise undesirable when you are trapped in a car by a winter storm?Section C DictationAccording to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he is considered innocent until the court proves the person is guilt y. To arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that acrime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the re asons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then, the police take the suspect to the police station where t he name of the person and the charges against him are formally lis ted. The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The jud ge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. I f the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels t hat he will return to court rather than run away, he can go free. O therwise the suspect must put up bail. At this time too, the judge will appoint a court l awyer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one. The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer f rom the district attorney’s office presents a case against the suspect. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judg e then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. The American Justice System is very complex, and sometimes operates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the foundation of the American government.。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the correct answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?51. This passage is mainly about ______.A) living space and behaviorB) population and living conditionsC) interesting experiments on ratsD) a natural law for human society52. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A) To determine how much living space a rat needs.B) To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C) To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D) To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.53. How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded?A) They eat a lot and become friendly to others.B) They sleep little and act quite peacefully.C) They eat little but sleep soundly.D) They become nervous and tend to be war-like.54. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions ______.A) are directly related with populationB) may cause an increase in violenceC) may lead to high birth rateD) may bring about pollution problemsPassage TwoMany people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language. Over the Years, people have made up new languages with this aim. At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto ( 世界语) , was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his new language in 1887.To encourage people to learn the Language, he made it as simple as possible. Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language. By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers, and it was spoken in six hundred schools. Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious. Throughout this century English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact that more are learning English shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide. No one would deny the usefulness of world language, but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.55. Over the years, people have made up new languages in the hope that ______.A) all people will be able to speak a common languageB) people will learn a foreign language betterC) people can understand each other betterD) people will be able to speak several languages56. Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because ______.A) he wanted people to learn it quicklyB) he hoped more and more people would be willing to learn itC) he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficultyD) he hoped it would be accepted as an official world language57. Which of the following is NOT true of English?A) It is widely taught in schools.B) It has become a second language for many millions of people.C) Many books have been written in English.D) It is less popular than Esperanto.58. What is the best title of the passage?A) The language made by one man.B) A talk about the world language.C) English as a second language for everyone.D) Esperanto—a better language than English.Passage ThreeAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 ,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a. m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city ’ s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake - resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake - resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.59. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low was that ______.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways60. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake’ s vibrations61. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused byearthquakes attention should be focused on ______.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes62. The main purpose of this passage is mostly to______.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B) encourage civil engineers to make extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake - resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake - resistant buildingSection BDirections; Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with a single line throughDirections: Put the following sentences into Chinese.

Summary
After watching the two videos , for Google's purchase of drone company , I have a more comprehensive understanding . As my mind , Google's actions are all aimed to get more benefits,market and opportunities .
Google selected drone as a development object is not without reason , according to many studies , it as efficient as a satellite, but much less expensive than it , by use of the drone , google could bring Web access to remote areas of the world which could not only help speed disaster relief or monitor environmental damage but also provide high-resolution aerial images for its Google Earth service.
Gizmodo , the well-known tech blog website said “Google bought a drone company ,which isn’t at all creepy , nope.it’s hard not to worry that , in addition to connecting the world over , this means a lot more potential information at google’s fingertips”,it is obvious that Gizmodo doubt that Google have a very big ambition .
In such a situation like this , the fresh customer’s investment is just like a fatal wind , very dangerous .
PART III（50%）
Essay
Paradise or Hell ?
Recent years , the development of modern technology has made people's life more complex, so people begin to choose to have a simple and easy life without using technology or not.
For those people who would like to live a modern life , they have enough reason . The advancement of modern technology is making their life more comfortable and at the same time less human. To those who enjoy the benefits of technology, there is no better time to be alive than now, but to others life has been increasingly complex and stressful. The issue is whether such new technological machines as computers and the Internet would be our servants forever or eventually could become our masters.
It is well known that all kinds of inventions made possible by technology are designed to be the slaves of human beings, if human beings are not to be slaved by machines. Once upon a time, we were plain people, but that was before we began having relationships with technological systems. By getting involved with computerized machines, we could not help changing the way we live and the way we work, for better or for worse It can be realized that life is more complex because much of modern technology is not born to meet primary human needs, and many "unnecessary" inventions are producing negative effects on a living style that used to be relatively simple. Thus, there is an overwhelming feeling of complexity in the sense that machines act like humans and humans act like machines. Now that "intelligent" machines such as robots are widely applied to take the place of human beings because they are capable of doing many useful jobs, although making many people jobless. Those who cannot work with computers are disadvantaged and therefore helpless while the traditional skills and simple ways of life are fading away, never to return again.
Everything means to that : technology has turned this world into a different one full of wonders, some of them being too good to be true. For example, mobile phone is playing an important role in our social and professional lives, whereas the Internet has connected people at every corner on the planet and beyond. As a consequence, telecommuting may soon become a more common way of working as more people are doing part of their jobs from home. And so what? Actually people are no closer to feeling happy in various respects because such technological developments are destroying many basic values of simple and easy lifestyles. Computers in particular have made life less emotional since the more time people use the Internet, the less time they spend with human beings.
In short , In making people's lives more enjoyable but more complex, technology seems as if sending plenty of blessings from paradise as well as sending plenty of evils from hell.。
