Many cooking experts believe that a long time ago cooks who wanted to test the temperature of their ovens would bake a little bit to find out if the oven was hot enough to bake an entire cake. These test cakes were called keokje, which means “little cake” in the language used in the Netherlands. People from the Netherlands brought the recipe to the United States. The word “cookie” may have come from their word keokje. Cookies are also very popular in England, but the English call them “biscuits”, as do Australians. Almost every country has a word for cookie. In Spain, they are called galletas, and in Italy, cookies are called biscotti. Americans are not the only people who enjoy cookies. You can make cookies following these steps:Preheat oven to 150. Put a little butter on a cookie sheet.Mix together white sugar, brown sugar, butter and eggs. Then add vanilla. Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Then mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake at 150 for 12 minutes or until lightly brown.55. In which country were the test cakes first made? A. Spain. B. Australia. C. The Netherlands.D. The United States.56. What does the first paragraph talk about? A. Describe how to bake a cake. B. Tell why people like cookies.C. Tell when people make cookies.D. Describe the history of cookies.57. What is the first step to bake cookies?A. Heat oven to 150.B. Mix the butter and the sugar.C. Test the temperature of the oven.D. Brush the cookies with some oil.58. If the cookies look lightly brown, what does this mean? A. They have burned.B. They are done.C. They have become soft.D. They need to cook for 12 minutes.C“The age of melancholy” is how psychologist Daniel Goleman describes our age. People today experience more depression (feeling of sadness) than older generations, though the technological wonders help us every day. It might be because of them.Our lifestyles are increasingly driven by technology. Our days are filled with phones, computers and the Internet. There is a constant need to check for texts and emails, to update Facebook, MySpace and Linkedin profiles and to acquire the latest notebook or 3G cell phone.Are we being served by these technological wonders or have we become enslaved by them? I study the psychology of technology, and it seems to me that we are sleepwalking into a world where technology is severely affecting our well-being. Technology can be hugely useful in the fast-paced modern living, but we need to stop it from taking over. For many of us, it is becoming increasingly difficult to control the impulse to check our inbox yet again or see whether the headlines have changed since we looked last time. Our children are in a similar position. In many homes, the computer, with which we work and play, has become the centre of attention.How does this arise, and what is it doing to us? People who place a high value on material goals are unhappier than those who are less materialistic.Our culture also constantly reminds us that time is money. This indicates a need for total efficiency (效率), which is the reason for us to allow laptop computers and mobile phones to blur the separation between work and home. As one unhappy human resource manager in a high-tech company put it, “They gave me a mobile phone so they can own me 24 hours a day, and a portable computer, so my office is now with me all the timeI cannot break out of this pressure.” Sound familiar?Psychologists generally believe that the lack of a clear separation between work and home greatly damages our relationships with loved ones. It also makes us quite likely to focus on the here and now at the expense of long-term goals.Modern society is in danger of exchanging standard of living for quality of life. We need ways to help recover those increasingly large parts of our lives that have been controlled by technology, to regain mastery over technology and learn to use it in a healthy and positive way. 59. Why does the author mention Daniel Golemans words “the age of melancholy”?A. To prove the point that people are addicted to advanced technology.B. To introduce his idea of a more depressed society due to technology.C. To introduce his view about the advantage of technological wonders.D. To prove that modern people are puzzled by the technological wonders.60. By saying that “we need to stop it from taking over” in paragraph 3, the author means _.A. we should stop using these technological wonders B. we should use these technological wonders wiselyC. we are severely affected by these technological wondersD. we are frequently trapped in these technological wonders 61. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?A. The lack of a clear separation between w
