Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers. Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting (骗过) his high schools monitoring system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life. While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears. When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many security measures in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地). The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.21. What kind of article does this passage belong to?A. A fascinating story.B. A book review.C.

In the end of the book, Marcus Yallow .A. is supposed to be more irresponsibleB. becomes aware of very serious issues about his societyC. presents a young man who is irresponsibleD. plays a popular online game in real life BWhen an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses. This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect. The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which is named after Catherine “Kitty Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genoveses repeated cries for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help. The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police. Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments. There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate.Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is ambiguous. In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a lovers quarrel, and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.26. The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect because a woman surnamed Genovese.A. it somehow caused the murder of B. its discovery resulted from the murder ofC. it was actually discovered by D. it always makes people think of27. Genovese was murdered .A. while she was going outB. in her apartmentC. halfway homeD. near he r apartment28. Which can NOT have been a possible reason for the neighbors NOT offering Genovese help?A. They believed in the bystander effect. B. They thought someone else might help her.C. They didnt think they should help. D. They didnt think she needed help.29. Before deciding to offer help, observers may , according to the psychologists.A. wait for sort of a signalB. hesitate and estimate the risk of getting hurtC. want to be sure its appropriate to reactD. wonder if the victim is worth helping30. The article seems to suggest that, if there had been observers, Genovese might not have been murdered.A. noB. fewerC. moreD. braver CFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. I was a clothes addict, he jokes. I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled. Today David wears casual clothes khaki pants and sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. Im working harder than ever, David says, and I need to feel comfortable. More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday, but only on Friday. This became known as dress-down Friday or casual Friday. What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing. said business consultant Maisly Jones. Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work, says the owner of a software company, so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day, one person said. For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.31.

The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language. Geilivable, combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix (后缀) for adjectives, literally means giving power or cool. Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. Hengeilivable means very cool, and ungeilivable means dull, not cool at all. Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is antizen, which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants. David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said its very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences, Tool said. At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern. The administration is totally ungeilivable, said a netizen named laoda1713. I know other netizens will shed tears with me. it is a good chance to enrich our language.Language is always developing, said a columnist, Wang Pei. It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom.But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.36.

Which may be the title of this passage?A. New regulation is announcedB. Cyber words make language livelyC. Different views about cyber languageD. New phenomenon in China40.
