the pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computersdrjohnson said, “they told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the internet as when they talked face to facewhen the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation” generally the information was not extremely personalit was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to livebut some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiencesdrjohnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselvesand when they do this, they become more open , especially if there are no cameras“if you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourselfthis is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of youso emailing has become the modern way of talking” said drjohnsonhowever, this style of talking is not entirely new“in the 19th century people started to use the telegraph to communicatenow the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely” drjohnson thinks that e-mailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company“if you dont know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to ”17the subject discussed in this passage is ahow people open up when emailing bhow people do research studies chow to communicate at work dhow to discuss and solve a problem 18the reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that athey didnt talk about very personal things bthey couldnt see each other cthe cameras on the computers were turned on dthey had to discuss a question 19what do the underlined words （in para4） refer to?athe telegraphbthe computercemailingdface-to-face talk20in the writers opinion, one should afocus on oneself when emailing btalk more freely in email than usual cdiscuss any subject that one wants to dconsider how one uses email at work 【参考答案】e) abcd阅读理解my father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in rio piedras, puerto rico. my first job was to drive the oxen（牛） that ploughed the cane fields. i would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. for $ 1 a day, i worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.it was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. because the plantation owners were always watching us, i had to be on time every day and work as hard as i could. ive never been late for any job since. i also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. more important, i earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say i was sick just because i didnt want to work.i was only six years old, but i was doing a mans job. our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. this gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have. when i was seven, i got work at a golf course near our house. my job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. losing a ball meant you were fired, so i never missed one. some nights i would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle. the more i dreamed, the more i thought. why not? i made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. then i hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. and finally i dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. i practiced with the same devotion and intensity. i learned working in the field except now i was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.46. the word “tedious” in paragraph 2 most probably means _. a. difficult b. boring c. interesting d. unusual47. the writer learned that_ from his first job. a. he should work for those who he liked most b. he should work longer than what he was expected c. he should never fail to say hello to his owner d. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for48 _ gave the writer self-esteem. a. having a family of eight people b. owning his own golf course c. bringing money back home to help the family d. helping his father with the work on the plantation49. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
