When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差錯(cuò) ) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings, nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random (隨機(jī)的 ). One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. ―the explanation for this is that the brain is like a puter,‖ explains the professor. People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman39。(一 ) A It is 3 . Everything on the university campus seems ghostlike in the quiet, misty darkness- everything except the puter center. Here, twenty students sit in chairs, tapping away on the keys. With eyes glued to the video screen, they tap on for hours. For the rest of the world, it might be the middle of the night, but here time does not exist. These young puter hackers are pursuing a kind of pulsion(強(qiáng)烈欲望) , a drive which overshadows nearly every other part of their lives. They are pulsive puter programmers. Some of these students have been there for thirty hours or more without a break for meals or sleep. Some have fallen asleep on sofas in the puter center, trying to catch a few winks(眨眼) but hate to get too far away from their beloved machines. Most of these students don‘t have to be at the puter center in the middle of the night. They aren‘t working on assignments. They are there because they want to be- they are irresistibly drawn there. And they are not alone. There are hackers at puter centers all across the country. In their extreme form, they focus on nothing else. They fail in school and lose contact with friends。 they might have difficulty finding jobs, choosing instead to wander from one puter center to another. I remember one hacker. We had to carry him off his chair to feed him and put him to sleep. We really feared for his health, says a puter science professor at MIT. Computer science teachers are now more aware of the meaning of this hacker phenomenon. They know that the case of the hackers is not just the story of one person‘s relationship with a machine. It is the story of a society‘s relationship to the socalled thinking machines, which are being almost widespread. 56. Which of the following is NOT true of those young puter hackers? A. Most of them are top students majoring in puter programming. B. For them, puter programming is almost the only purpose for their life. C. They can stay with the puter at the center for nearly three days on end. D. Their love for the puter is so deep that they want to be near their machines even when they sleep. 57. It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that ____. A. the hacker phenomenon exists only at university puter centers B. university puter centers are open to almost everyone C. university puter centers are expecting outstanding programmers out of the hackers D. the hacker phenomenon is partly due to the lack of the puter centers 58. The author‘s attitude towards the hacker phenomenon can be described as ____. A. positive B. indifferent C. anxious D. disgusted 59. Which of the following may be a most appropriate title for the passage? A. The Charm of Computer Science B. A New Type of Electronic Toys C. Compulsive Computer Programmers D. Inter Addicts B One of the most interesting paradoxes(自相矛盾的話 ) in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be. “ Should Harvard or any other university be an intellectual sanctuary, away from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions。s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the programme, About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these programme assembly failures, Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing an average of twelve each, There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒謬可笑的 ). These are two hours some time between eight . and noon, between four and six . with a smaller peak between eight and ten . Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain 39。 occurs, for instance between going to and from work. Women on average reported slightly more lapses- pared with for men probably because they were more reliable reporters. A startling finding of the research is that the absentminded activity is a hazard(冒險(xiǎn)) of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduce
