Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: "I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net." "I often check my e-mail forty times a day. " "I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net." "I spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life' friends." Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet. For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight. Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family. Is "surfing the net" a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms : 1You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet. 2You can't wait for your next online time. 3You go out with your friends less and less. 4You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours. Question: How does the writer describe the addicts' use of Internet? Options: A: It is something like keeping drugs. B: It is like taking drugs. C: It is a way of producing drugs. D: It is terrible to imagine.
Answer: B

Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: How to describe the rising philosophy of the day ? I'd say it is data-ism . We now have the ability to gather huge amounts of data . This ability seems to carry with it certain cultural assumptions--that everything that can be measured should be measured ; that data is a transparent and reliable lens that allows us to filter out emotionalism and ideology ; that data will help us do remarkable things--like foretell the future . At the outset let me celebrate two things data does really well . First , it's really good at exposing when our intuitive view of reality is wrong . For example , nearly every person who runs for political office has an intuitive sense that they can powerfully influence their odds of winning the election if they can just raise and spend more money . But this is largely wrong . After the 2006 election , Sean Trende constructed a graph comparing the incumbent campaign spending advantages with their eventual victory . There was barely any relationship between more spending and a bigger victory . Likewise , many teachers have an intuitive sense that different students have different learning styles : some are verbal and some are visual , some focus on details and some on whole . Teachers imagine they will improve outcomes if they tailor their presentations to each student . But there's no evidence to support this either . Second , data can clarify patterns of behavior we haven't yet noticed . For example , I've always assumed people who frequently use words like " I , " " me , " and " mine " are probably more self-centered than people who don't . But as James Pennebaker of the University of Texas notes in his book , The Secret Life of Pronouns , when people are feeling confident , they are focused on the task at hand , not on themselves . High-status , confident people use fewer " I " words , not more . In sum , the data revolution is giving us wonderful ways to understand the present and the past . Will it transform our ability to predict and make decisions about the future ? We'll see . Question: What does James Pennebaker reveal in The Secret Life of Pronouns ? Options: A: The importance of using pronouns properly . B: Repeated use of first-person pronouns by self-centered people . C: Frequent use of pronouns and future tense by young people . D: A pattern in confident people's use of pronouns .
Answer: D
