Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is “networked inpidualism ”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be inpiduals (个体) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to- person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that ’s a good thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected — helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!
60. The underlined phrase “networked inpidualism ” probably means that by using computers
people ________.
A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
61. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?
A. Networks.
B. Friends.
C. Phones.
D. Parents.
62. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.
A. people have been separated from each other by using computers
B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication

Thinking
◆ Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious
(有意识的) — we alone are aware that we are thinking.
◆ No one knows how consciousness works — it is one of science ’s last great
mysteries.
◆ All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum (大脑皮质), which is at the top of
your brain, and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas, called association areas.
◆ Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes (脑叶) — two at the
front (frontal and temporal lobes) and two at the back (occipital and parietal lobes). ◆ The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright
ideas.
◆ The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you. ◆ The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see.
◆ The parietal lobe is where you record touch, heat and cold, and pain. ◆ The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body. The right half controls the left side. ◆ One half of the brain is always dominant (in charge). Usually, the left brain is dominant, which is why 90% of people are right-handed.

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
