[填空题]For some people, it would be unthinkable. But Gabe Henderson is finding freedom in a recent decision; he cancelled his MySpace account. The 26 years old graduate student stopped his account after realizing that a lot of his online friends were really just acquaintances. “The superficial emptiness clouded the excitement I had once felt,” Henderson wrote in an article. “ It seems we have lost, to some degree, the special depth that true friendship is about.”
Journalism professor Michael Bugeja, who is a strong supporter of face-to-face communication, read Henderson’s column and saw it was a sign of hope. Though he’s not anti-technology, Bugejaoften lectures about “interpersonal intelligence”—knowing when, where, and for what purpose technology is most appropriate.

[填空题]Section A (10 marks)
Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.
The term culture shock was introduced for the first time in 1958 to describe the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort a person suffers when coming to live in a place different from the place of origin.
Often, the way that we lived before is not accepted or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines, not knowing how to use telephones, and so forth.

How Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligences(MI) dares us to put these two men on neighbor pedestals.

(74) His ideas have provoked vigorous debates about how one defines intelligence. Gardener’s point is that quantity measures only one capacity, the sort of mental agility that is valued in academic achievement, and that this single number does not do justice
