The treadmill began to whir, and I gripped its handlebars as the belt started moving me backwards. All I could do now was run—or begrudgingly barrel forward—toward an outdated screen that showed me the terrain I was supposed to be running on. It was made of red squares stacked up, one on top of another: the higher stacks were supposed to be steep hills, and the lower ones, valleys. I tried to picture them as burning coals to see if that would make me speed up or at least feel like this exercise was somehow connected to nature—even one of its cruel parts. How would you describe this author's attitude towards the treadmill?

A、negative

B、positive

C、neutral

D、angry

Today, theres scarcely an aspect of our life that isnt being upended by the torrent of
information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. "If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology," says Microsoft, "a new car would cost about $2 and go 600 miles on a thimble of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza." Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers. (47)Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. All the time spent online has left many young infotech workers without much time for life-or love-offline. (48)The U.S. free enterprise system, which reaches a frenzy in Silicon Valley, has recognized that the local love boat is taking on water and is rushing in to save the day. Dating services are approaching overload. Seminars and love doctors are teaching these rich, busy young singles how to find and capture their hearts desire in this romantic wasteland. And dot-com facilitators such as Matchmaker. com are struggling to bring the sexes together online. One reality that losers in this love bazaar must face is that they werent picked because they were out of shape. But not to worry since the Cyber Age has the answer to this one, too. Computerized fitness programs with audio, visual, and cyber personal trainers are ready to turn your home and treadmill into your own personal health club. Turn on it. comes "One-On-One Training" audio workouts and you can bend and stretch to your favorite music. (49)Its "Adventure" series video workouts will automatically adjust the speed and incline of your iFit-compatible treadmill as you gaze into your TV screen and experience the "beautiful rock formations of Utahs Red Rock" or "the tropical paradise of Hawaii". (50)Americans spend more on entertainment than on clothing or health care. and the convergence of computers and telecommunications is generating new ways to amuse ourselves undreamed of until now. The Internet is a land of endless amusements, and among the wildest is the Sims-simulations. These are about creating, managing, and controlling the lives of tiny computerized people.

第10题
It all began with a stop at a red light. Kevin Salwen, a writer and entrepreneur
in Atlanta, was driving his14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006. While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.

“Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal,” Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable.She pestered her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something. “What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”

Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home.

Eventually, that's what the family did. The project—crazy, impetuous and utterly inspiring—is chronicled in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: The Power of Half. It's a book that,frankly, I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.

In fact, the Salwens' experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness. Mr. Salwen and his wife,Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other. ①A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.

One reason for that togetherness was the complex process of deciding how to spend the money. The Salwens researched causes and charities, finally settling on the Hunger Project, a New York City-based international development organization that has a good record of tackling global poverty.

The Salwens' initiative hasn't gone entirely smoothly.Hannah promptly won over her parents, but her younger brother, Joe, was a red-blooded American boy to whom it wasn't intuitively obvious that life would improve by moving into a smaller house and giving money to poor people. ② Outvoted and outmaneuvered, Joe gamely went along.

The Salwens also are troubled that some people are reacting negatively, to their project, seeing them as showoffs. Or that people are protesting giving to Ghana when there are so many needy Americans.

Still, they have inspired some people. The people who sold the Salwens their new home were so impressed that they committed $ 100,000 to the project. And one of Hannah's closest friends, Blaise,pledged half of her baby-sitting savings to an environmental charity.

In writing the book, the Salwens say, the aim wasn't actually to get people to sell their houses. They realize that few people are quite that crazy.Rather, the aim was to encourage people to step off the treadmill of accumulation, to define themselves by what they give as well as by what they possess.

The word “pestered” in Paragraph Two probably means __________.

[A] grumbled

[B] annoyed

[C] moaned

[D] inquired
