【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
rth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound (深刻的) way. The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this bigpicture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life. Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly. When I39。m there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don39。t seem that pressing. It goes that, Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!(1)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2?

I used to like them — to be honest. We39。d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange s, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me. Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they39。re thrown in my face like TV mercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities. Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you39。d find him warm, and downtoearth. Read his Facebook and you realize he39。s an unbearable, foodobsessed bore. He39。d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it. Take Andy. You won39。t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he39。s a CEO without a pany to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He39。s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he39。s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you39。ve run four panies — and this is how you spend your downtime(業(yè)余時間)? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job? Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine(甲流疫苗) will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then es Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter. In real life, I don39。t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They39。re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong. I39。m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the antivaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he39。s at a party and the wine isn39。t up to his standards?(1)What39。s Andy probably busy in doing now? A.He39。s running his pany.B.He39。s playing golf all day.C.He39。s looking for another job.D.He39。s playing puter games.(2)Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text? A.Fred.B.Andy.C.Liz.D.Chris.(3)According to the text, Facebook tends to ______. A.present another side of peopleB.offer some food for freeC.show endless advertisementsD.get you to more parties(4)The text is developed mainly by ______.
