22、Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets.When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted.One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices.One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life.They have successfully created a cultural disease.Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them.I call this technology servitude.I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question.Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology.When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology.Mae West is famous for the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.

24、Social distancing is nothing new to honey bees. When a colony is infected with the deadly Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), bees are less likely to touch or feed their sick nest mates, according to a new study.
Not much is known about how bees act when infected with viruses. Adam Dolezal, an insect physiologist at the University of Illinois, who studies IAPV, teamed up with a computer scientist Tim Gernat, who had developed an automated system to monitor bee behavior. They identified a behavior called trophallaxis, in which honey bees feed their fellow workers by regurgitating (反刍) food from their bodies.
They put infected bees into their colony. After 5 days of recording, the team found that heathy bees were avoiding contact with the infected bees. The findings show how bee behavior in a real colony can prevent an infection.
But the virus appears to have an alarming counterattack (反攻): When sick bees try to enter a new colony, they do a better job of getting past the guards than uninfected bees. That has led the scientists to predict that the virus has developed a way to spread to new colonies.
Bee colonies are usually guarded by bees to keep foreigners out. Guards use their special organs in the head to detect a collection of chemical signals on the outside of their bees, which is used to identify them as members of the colony or foreigners.
As for why IAPV is so successful at tricking the guards, it might be that it changes the number of various chemical signals, which differed between the sick and healthy groups. This makes the guards more likely to misjudge and accept the infected bees. The sick bees were also gentler when challenged by guards and more likely to offer them food, and those behaviors may also help them spread the disease.
IAPV isn’t the only pathogen (病原体) bees can bring. If IAPV helps other pathogens spread, that could be a big problem for commercial beekeepers who pack colonies together for efficiency. “There’s very little you can do if you suspect a virus infection,” Dolezal says. Instead, they have got to increase the space between colonies.
【1】What’s true about the colony with infected bees?
A.Sick bees don’t feed healthy bees.
B.Infected bees were less likely to be fed.
C.IAPV made sick bees unable to share food.
D.Infected bees practiced distancing willingly.
【2】What has puzzled scientists according to the fourth paragraph?
A.The impacts of IAPV on colonies.
B.The connections between colonies.
C.The safe social distancing between bees.
D.IAPV’s ability to spread among colonies.
【3】What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?
A.How sick bees infect other bees.
B.How the virus confuses guard bees.
C.How sick bees get accepted by others.
D.How guard bees defend their colonies.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.IAPV controls bee behavior within a colony.
B.Bees first learned social distancing due to IAPV.
C.Distancing of colonies is needed to protect bees.
D.Beekeepers should learn to recognize infected bees.
