8 . Earlier this year I made a decision to remove all Internet service from my home. It ended up being the best decision I’ve ever made.

I was not content with the time I was wasting —I felt I could do more purposeful things with my time than spend it on the Internet. This doesn’t mean I think the Internet is bad or wrong —it’s not. It is an amazing tool, one that changed my life for the better.

How can I go without Internet service at home? The answer is easy: I plan my Internet use. I don’t do so in a strictly controlled way—it’s not like I say, “OK, I’ll be on Twitter from 2: 00 p. m. to 4: 00 p. m. next Thursday.” If I see something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have Internet access.

Now I’m forced to leave the house to access the Internet. I’ll go to the library, the coffee shop, or some other place with free public Wi-Fi to work on all the things I need to do online (post writing, check email, read blogs, etc.).

No longer am I taking unconscious (无意识的) breaks from my life to surf the Internet. Now when I’m on the Internet, it has a purpose—it is a tool I use to improve my life. Sure, sometimes I watch some funny videos or laugh at funny pictures, but I go to the Internet with the intention of doing these things.

When I got rid of the Internet at home, I did it mostly so I could focus on writing--but I have found so many extra benefits. I have more time for friends. I have more time to exercise. I no longer want the Internet badly like I once did. My mind is more focused on important things. And I don’t have a monthly Internet bill.

A．He surfs the Internet at a fxed time.

B．He watches funny videos more often.

D．He uses the Internet more purposefully.

3. How does the author feel about the result of his decision?

A．It is upsetting.	B．It is satisfying.
C．It is discouraging.	D．It is embarrassing.

4. What can we infer about the author from the text?

A．He is a writer.	B．He is short of money.
C．He lives alone.	D．He likes to stay home.

9 . Up to one quarter of the world’s population use chopsticks as their main eating tool. Called kuaizi in Chinese, chopsticks were developed in China about 5,000 years ago. Often made of wood, chopsticks allow users to pickup pieces of food by holding together and releasing (松开) the sticks with the thumb (拇指) and first three fingers.

Before the invention of chopsticks, the Chinese used only their hands to eat. One reason why chopsticks were invented is that eating with one’s hands allowed some people to take more food than others. This was considered rude, so using chopsticks, which limited the amount of food that could be taken at one time, was thought to be a more polite practice. Another one was about the great Chinese philosopher Confucius, who was a vegetarian. He objected to the use of knives at the table, feeling that they reminded eaters of the slaughterhouse (屠宰场), so he preferred chopsticks.

At first, chopsticks were used only by nobles (贵族). Later on, during the Western Han Dynasty, which began in 202 BC, commoners (平民) began to use chopsticks as well. At that time, people used chopsticks only to eat side dishes; spoons were used for rice and for soups. During the Northern Song Dynasty, which lasted from AD 960 to 1127, noodles became a popular dish. It is very diffcult to eat noodles with a spoon, so chopsticks were used more often. Today, chopsticks are the main eating tool in China, Japan, and Vietnam; and people from countries all over the world commonly use this tool while eating Asian dishes.
