approached me. he asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. id read the signs: “dont give money to beggars.” so i shook my head and kept marching.i wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, “i really am homeless and i really am hungry! you can come with me and watch me eat!” but i kept on marching.the incident bothered me for the rest of the week. i had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. on a freezing cold night, i still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.flying back to anchorage, i couldnt help thinking of him. i tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. besides, youre not supposed to give money to beggars.somewhere over seattle, i started to write my weekly garden column for the anchorage daily news. out of the blue, i came up with an idea. beans cafe, the soup kitchen in anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry alaskans every day. why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to beans?before long my idea took off. people would fax me or call when they took something in. those who only grew flowers donated them. food for the spirit. and relief for my conscience.as more and more people started working with the plant a row concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. row markers with the plant a row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “row for the hungry” .it is unexpected that millions of americans are threatened by hunger. if every gardener in america and were seventy million strong plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who dont have enough to eat. maybe then i will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man i could have helped. 1. why did the author turn down the beggars request? a. he was

new vistas (前景),create the global villageyou can make new friends all around the world. that,at least,is what it promised us. the difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. the reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. no matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication,its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.the problem is twofold (双重的). first,there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. that number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. second,the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them. we invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute whats left among as many others as we can. the problem is that if we invest little time in a person,our engagement with that person will decline (减弱)until eventually it dies into “someone i once knew”.this is not,of course,to say that the internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function. of course it does. but the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world,but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.in one sense,thats a good thing. but it also has a disadvantage. if you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them,then certainly you arent using your time to make new friends where you now live. and i suspect that probably isnt the best use of your time. meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other,face to face. the internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end,but it wont stop that happening eventually.1. what is stressed in the first paragraph?a. the present situation of the internet.b. the difficulty in communication on the internet.c. the socially valuable function of the internet.d. the role of the human mind in the internet communication.2. the underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means“”.a. appointmentb. connectionc. interviewd. agreement3. according to the passage,the author holds the view that.a. the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promisedb. the internet determines the quality of social relationshipsc. the internet greatly increases the size of social circlesd. the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk4. what is the authors attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?a. he is uncertain about it. b. he is hopeful of it.c. he approves of it. d. he doubts it.【参考答案】76.1-4 dbad george prochnik would like the worldto put a sock in it. he makes his case in a new book,listening for meaning in a world of noise. here he explains himself(using his indoor voice):“weve become so accustomed to noise,theres almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. if you tell someone to be quiet,you sound like an old man. but its never been more important to find continuing quiet. silence focuses us,improves our health,and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.we need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. during a japanese tea ceremony,the smallest sounds become a kind of artthe spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl,the edges of a kimono(和服)brushing against the floor.deaf people are very attentive(专注的) in almost every aspect of life. if two deaf people are walking together,using sign language,they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. they are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings
