5、    Are you one of those who always fear whenever a dog is approaching? If you are, you have got phobia ( a very strong feeling of being afraid of something ). Of all human fears, phobias may be the most uncontrollable. They are most often caused by a particular situation or object. In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties. To begin with，agoraphobia is a fear of staying in strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open area. Social phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class. Lastly, there are a wide range of specific phobias. People suffering from this kind of phobia are terrified of specific objects or creatures, such as spiders, perhaps to your surprise, clowns. Besides, there are about six hundred and fifty phobias having been listed by psychologists (心理學(xué)家) as yet.

Faced with their phobias, many people choose to do nothing but just escape the situations or objects they fear. Psychologists, however, warn that if not treated properly, this kind of anxiety will get worse, so that it may disturb the sleep pattern, cause physical symptoms, and finally affect their daily activities. As for treatment, clinical research has discovered that medicine for anxiety is not successful in curing phobias. However, the anxiety disorders can be efficiently treated through cognitive behavioral therapy ( 認(rèn)知行為療法 ), through which patients are led to inspect the connections between their own fear and the situation or object, and then actively choose the acceptable treatments. Also, other treatments proved effective in reducing phobias are Meditation (quiet thought that can help people relax), listening to calming music, and so on.

Do you want to watch a hot movie while chatting with your friend on the phone, or shop with your mobile while on a train? The ongoing construction of a new telecommunication service will make these things reality, very soon.

It is reported that China is to issue its first licence for the commercial use of third generation telecommunication technology early next year. The so-called 3G technology will enable mobile phone users to enjoy high-speed Internet-based services. It will help increase mobility in many areas of our life.

    Nowadays, many mobile phones also allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on the Internet, but their services are limited by their transporting speed, which is only 10 kilobytes per second. But 3G will enable you to connect to the Internet with a speed of up to 2 megabytes per second, a thousand times faster than what you use now.

If recent mobile technology is like riding a bike on a country road, then 3G will make you fly on the information highway. For example, a mobile phone with 3G technology will enable you to download a three minutes’ MP3 song within two minutes. But at the moment, it will take you up to an hour to do this with your mobile phone.

In the near future, we’ll expect high-speed access to the Internet, entertainment, information and electronic commerce services wherever we are not just at our computers or television sets.

In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have been around since 2003, 3G has already become a part of modern business life. Nowadays, employees are able to spend some of their working hours at home. The new technology allows the emergency services to provide a video link with a hospital or doctor for patients who need special care.

60. What are the strength of the so-called 3G technology?

A. It enables mobile phone users to enjoy Internet-based services

B. It can enable you to download MP3songs.

C. A 3G mobile phone can transport information much faster than what we use now.

D. 3G technology will offer you high-speed access to the Internet wherever there is a computer.

61. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. It is impossible for us to listen to MP3 music with our current mobile phone.

B. Thanks to 3G phones, European employees needn’t always travel to work .

C. 3G mobile phone enables you to watch a hot movie while chatting.

D. The new technology allows a doctor to examine a patient through a video link.

62. Which sentence can best describe the picture?

A. 3G will make you fly on the information highway.

B. 3G will help increase mobility in many areas of our lives.

C. 3G has already become a part of modern business.

D. 3G will enable you connect to the internet with a speed of 2 megabytes per second.
