Unit 3 Alienation and the InternetKey to the ExercisesText comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the author's purpose of writing.BII. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. T (Refer to Paragraph 1.)2. F (Refer to Paragraph 2. When the author says "this might sound like an apparent contradiction," he implies that this is in fact not a contradiction at all. Throughout the whole essay, the author explains the seemingly contradictory idea: on the one hand the Internet is responsible for global unification, and on the other it alienates the participants.)3. F (Refer to Paragraph 3, where the author, by saying "I have not known this fellow to be given to exaggeration?" actually means that to the best of his knowledge, this friend of his has never exaggerated anything.)4. T (Refer to Paragraph 4. At the end of this paragraph, the author argues that when people spend much time developing on-line relationships with faraway folks, they will have no time to participate in communal activities, which undermines the sense of community.)5. T (Refer to Paragraph6. In this paragraph, the author argues that when surfing the Web a person might be cognitively overloaded and that the cognitive overload might result in a distorted sense of reality.)III. A nswer the following questions.1. Refer to Paragraph 1. As the author sees it, the Internet is most likely to make our global village a better place to live in. It provides a miraculous forum for the globalization of ideas, which contributes to the realization of human potential. Furthermore, it is a powerful tool for the acquisition and application of knowledge. The benefits of the Internet, however, may be darkened by its negative consequences. It may deprive the user of his time for necessary interaction with other society members so that the whole world may be further fragmented. In addition, there is a reasonable likelihood that the Internet presents too much information, which gives the user a skewed sense of reality by making him cognitively overloaded.2. Refer to Paragraph3. His friend was addicted to the Internet. He would spend even over twenty-four hours non-stop on the Internet so that he had to force himself to go off line. As he spent so much time in cyberspace, his sense of reality might have beencrooked. Moreover, without any face-to-face verbal communication with other people, he felt lonely and depressed.3. Refer to Paragraph4. The alienation of society members had begun long before the Internet started to be used worldwide. After World War II, when the soldiers returned from the battlefields, they devoted themselves to "progress." Large quantities of cars were manufactured, which fed the creation of suburbs, and consequently people lived far apart from each. The Internet, however, has added to the problem and Internet addicts are far from rare. As illustrated by the example of the author's nephew, it seems to be an irreversible trend that more and more people, old and young, are becoming addicted to the Internet. They will spend many hours non-stop in cyberspace rather than with their families or friends. For lack of communication, they are becoming strangers to other people. Therefore, there is a good reason to believe that society is being further alienated by the Internet.4. The "cruel irony" means that the Internet provides the user with a convenient means of communicating and making friends with people far apart on the one hand, but on the other, it estranges the user from the people around him by canceling his availability for face-to-face communication even with his families and close friends and for involvement in community activities.5. Refer to Paragraphs 6 and 7. The potential of the Internet as a powerful tool for globalizing ideas and for acquiring and applying knowledge can only be realized when the user strikes a balance between reality and the Internet. Although the Internet makes it possible for the user to debate, shop, travel and have romance in cyberspace without leaving home, the overuse of this tool probably results in a distorted sense of reality. The only way to avoid being penalized by the Internet is make moderate use of this tool without losing one's sense of place in the world.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1. As the Internet can be reached and used with relatively few restrictions, it plays a role in connecting people globally, which is comparable to travelling through international waterways.2. A lot of people talk about the "new information age," but not so many people are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3. I think that in our society top priority is given to the satisfaction of one's immediate needs. The Internet is the best means to achieve this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Structural analysis of the textThe three parts of the text:Part 1 (Paragraphs 1?);Part 2 (Paragraphs 3?); andPart 3 (Paragraph 7).Thesis statement: ... the Internet may be responsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users.Concluding statement: All of this being said, I believe that the key to realizing the potential of the Internet is in achieving balance in our lives.Rhetorical features of the textMore antonyms: real杗ot real, reality杤irtual existence, outside playing with his friends 杙lay his games against his friends in cyberspace. The use of all these pairs of antonymous words and expressions helps to reinforce the seeming self-contradiction that the Internet can lead to globalization on the one hand and cause the alienation of the users from the people around them on the other.Vocabulary exercisesI.

Unit 3 Alienation and the Internet习题答案综合教程四

Unit 3 Alienation and the Internet习题答案综合教程四The internet has become an integral part of our lives, providing us with boundless opportunities and conveniences. However, the increasing reliance on the internet has also brought about a sense of alienation among individuals. This article aims to explore the concept of alienation in relation to the internet and discuss its impact on society.1. Alienation and Technology:Alienation, in the context of the internet, refers to the sense of isolation and disconnection individuals experience due to their excessive reliance on technology. While the internet has connected people globally, it has also created a disconnection from the immediate environment and face-to-face interactions. This alienation can manifest in various ways, such as reduced social interactions, decreased empathy, and increased feelings of loneliness.2. Social Media and Alienation:Social media platforms have revolutionized the way we connect and interact with others. However, studies have shown that prolonged usage of social media can contribute to a sense of alienation. People often compare their lives to the carefully curated online personas of others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and isolation. Moreover, the constant exposure to unrealistic standards and portrayals of success can further intensify these negative emotions.3. Cyberbullying and Alienation:The internet has provided a breeding ground for cyberbullying, a phenomenon that can significantly contribute to feelings of alienation among individuals. Cyberbullying involves the use of electronic platforms to harass, intimidate, or humiliate others. Victims of cyberbullying often experience a profound sense of isolation, as the harassment can extend beyond the confines of physical spaces. The anonymity offered by the internet further exacerbates these feelings, leaving victims feeling helpless and lonelier than ever.4. Work and Alienation:The internet has revolutionized the way we work, providing remote work opportunities and increased flexibility. However, this shift towards digital workspaces can also contribute to alienation. Remote work often lacks the camaraderie and social dynamics present in traditional workplaces, leaving individuals feeling disconnected from their colleagues and the overall work culture. Additionally, the constant accessibility and expectations to be present online can blur the boundaries between work and personal life, further amplifying feelings of alienation.5. Addressing Alienation:While the internet has undoubtedly contributed to feelings of alienation, it also has the potential to mitigate its effects. It is essential for individuals to be mindful of their online activities and strive for a healthy balance between virtual and real-life interactions. Taking regular breaks from social media and engaging in offline activities can help combat the sense of disconnection. Building meaningful connections and relationships in both virtual and physical spaces can also foster a sense of belonging and reduce alienation.In conclusion, the internet's influence on society cannot be denied. While it has brought about numerous advantages, it has also contributed to feelings of alienation among individuals. Recognizing and addressing this issue is crucial to ensure a healthy and balanced relationship with technology. By promoting self-awareness and fostering meaningful connections, we can navigate the digital world while maintaining a sense of belonging and connectedness in our lives.。

Unit 3 Alienation and the InternetKey to ExercisesText ComprehensionI. B.Ⅱ. TFFTTⅢ.1. As the author sees it, the Internet is most likely to make our global village a better place to livein. It provides a miraculous forum for the globalization of ideas, which contributes to therealization of human potential. Furthermore, it is a powerful tool for the acquisition andapplication of knowledge. The benefits of the Internet, however, may be darkened by its negative consequences. It may deprive its user of his time for necessary interaction with other societymembers so that the whole world may be further fragmented. In addition, there is a reasonablelikelihood that the Internet presents too much information, which gives its user a skewed sense ofreality by making him a cognitively overloaded man.2. His friend was addicted to the Internet. He would spend even over twenty-four hours non-stopon the Internet so that he had to force himself to go off line. As he spent so much time incyberspace, his sense of reality might have been crooked. Moreover, without any face-.to-faceverbal communication with other people, he felt lonely and depressed.3. The alienation of society members had begun long before the Internet started to be usedworldwide. After World War 1I when the soldiers returned from the battlefields, they devotedthemselves to "progress". What did to achieve their goal was to manufacture large quantities of cars and make them available to most people. With the car people could travelaround more easily, but at the expense of their reunion with their extended families and communications with their neighbors. Thus, it is apparent that it was the car ownership thatalienated people before the Internet. In the information age, however, people are alienated not somuch by cars as by the Interact. Interact addicts are far from rare. As illustrated by the example ofthe author's nephew, it seems to be an irreversible trend that more and more people, old and young,are becoming addicted to the Internet. They will spend many hours non-stop in cyberspace ratherthan with their families or friends. For lack of communications, they are becoming strangers toother people. Therefore, there is a good reason to believe that the society is being further alienatedby the Internet.4. The "cruel irony" means that the Internet provides the user with a convenient means ofcommunicating and making friends with people far apart on the one hand, but on the other, itestranges the user from the people around him by canceling his availability for the face-to-face communications even with his families and close friends and for involvement in the communityactivities.5. The potential of the Internet as a powerful tool for globalizing ideas and for acquiring andapplying knowledge can only be realized when its user strikes a balance between the reality andthe Internet. Although the Internet makes it possible for its users to debate, shop, travel and haveromance in cyberspace without leaving home, the overuse of this tool probably results in adistorted sense of reality. The only way to avoid being penalized by the Interact is make moderateuse of this tool without losing one's sense of place in the world.Ⅳ.1. As the Internet can be reached and used with relatively few restrictions, it plays a role in connecting people globally, which is comparable to traveling through international waterways.2. A lot of people talk about the "new information age", but not so many people are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3. I think that in our society the top priority is given to the satisfaction of one's immediate needs. The Internet is the best means to achieve this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Vocabulary ExercisesI.1. ability to develop, achieve or succeed2. causing to feel very distant from or not welcome to other people3. liked it very much and wanted to spend as much time doing it as possible4. a word or phrase which is often repeated to express a belief5. more information than one can cope with6. a set of images and sounds produced by a computer which seems so real that for most purposes it can be regarded as realII.1. for the better2. at the expense of3. was confronted with4. took advantage of5. in earnest6. are available for7. prior to 8. would give ... pause to thinkIII.1. alienating2. globalization3. fragmenting4. addict5. exaggerates6.
