Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it's a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish.Our attention span (持续时间) is getting shorter ...and it's all because of technology.

“We move quickly from one site to another on the Web，” says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds.There are other digital distractions (使人分心的事) too: email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.

Some people are worried about the effect on young people.“You need time to understand and think about what you read，” says Julia Wood, from London.“Young people search the Net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it.I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”

Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students' concentration.Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons.She says that it had an amazing effect，“The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”

But not everyone believes that there is a problem.Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says，“On the Web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn't worth reading.They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully.In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了互联网对人们注意力的影响及人们对此的看法。

1．Why does the writer mention “goldfish”？

A．To analyze data. B．To introduce a topic.

C．To settle problems. D．To suggest a way out.

解析：选B　推理判断题。结合第一段内容可知，作者利用金鱼集中注意力的时间短这一特点，将人们比喻成金鱼，从而引出文章的话题——因为科技，人们集中注意力的时间越来越短。故选B。

2．What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr.Ted Selker?

A．Skipping around the Internet.

B．Time to digest information.

C．Traditional methods of reading.

D．Making decisions.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“‘We move quickly from one site to another on the Web，’ says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, ‘and we are losing the ability to concentrate.’”可知，Ted Selker博士认为我们集中注意力的时间缩短的原因是快速地浏览不同网站这一行为。故选A。

3．What will help students overcome a short attention span?

A．Receiving emails. B．Texting messages.

C．Reading more books. D．Watching quickie movies.

解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”可知，多读书能够帮助学生解决注意力不集中的问题。故选C。

4．What is Ray Cole's attitude towards looking through websites quickly?

A．Cautious. B．Unfavorable.

C．Skeptical. D．Supportive.

解析：选D　观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句“In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”可知，Ray Cole对快速浏览网站这一做法持支持态度。故选D。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like good sportsmanship.

Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (具有运动家品格的人) respect the other players on their team. They respect the players on opposing teams. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.__1__ They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.

Kids usually learn sportsmanship — good and bad — from the adults in their lives.__2__ If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.

__3__ Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.

Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life.__4__ Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.

So be a good sport in whatever you do！__5__ When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn't the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills!

A．Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.

B．On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.

C．The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

D．Players' parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.

E．We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.

F．Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.

G．If you're a good sport on the field, you'll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.
