35、BWarm-upTextComprehension Exercises编辑pptWarm-up1. Are you satisfied with the amount of leisure time you have in your life? Why or why not?2. To what extent does the new technology influence peoples leisure activities?编辑pptText BNew surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our live

36、s easier are killing our leisure time. We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet are destroying a

37、ny idea of privacy and leisure.编辑pptText BSince the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new laborsaving devices would free them from the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, s

38、pending more time with friends and family, and even just “goofing off.”But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate us have bound us

In todays highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer hours and to keep in touch almos

41、t constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices. As a result, employees feel the need to check in on whats going on at the office, even on days off. They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they have to do. Workers work harder and longer, chan

42、ge their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job security.编辑pptText BBosses, colleagues, and family members lovers, friends, and spouses too expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an

43、environment in which faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use. This isnt what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic resea

44、rch to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But when new tools make life more difficult and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it then something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and

45、our understanding of how it should benefit us.编辑pptawryadj. not in the way that was planned or intended; wrong 错误的，走样的Anything that goes awry in the office is blamed on Pete.The strike has sent the plans for awry investment seriously.编辑pptboomn. a (period of) rapid growth or increase 繁荣（时期），迅速增长（期）T
