“If you want to see something well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.
With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music？ They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we often have to touch things before we buy them.
The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin……
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

I was appreciating my family photos on my computer, admiring my two beautiful babies when I found a disturbing scene: my laptop was in almost all the pictures. There was my daughter, 8 months old, playing at my feet while I was typing on the couch. There was my son, with a big transformer, on my left arms.
I’d heard about the Internet addiction before, but I always thought it was something only limited to playing too much World of Warcraft （a computer game) day and night. Now, it seemed my Internet-habit is slowly but surely cr ossing the line. Sometimes I find myself up at midnight, surfing the Web while my family are sleeping. I read news, keep up with friends and write my blog … just for something to do.
It turns out that I’m not the only mama who is addicted to the computer. These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction. There’s a movement among psychiatrists （doctors who specialize in mental diseases) to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder. And a recent Stanford University national survey found that 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from it for several days at a time; 9 percent try to hide their ―unnecessary Internet use from their loved ones; 8 percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems.
You’re likely not the kind of addict who doesn’t bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay up for more online time. You may have noticed, though, that going online has become a necessary part of your life, which, at least, means a box of clothes go unwashed. It may also mean you’re missing much time with you baby – something you probably do care about.
From Paragraph 1, we can conclude that _______.A. the author was busy taking care of her babies
B. the author’s job had something to do with computers
C. the author was not good at taking photos of her babies
D. the author looked after her babies while using the computer.
The author used to think that the Internet addiction is ________.A. using the web at midnight B. keeping up with friends online
C. spending too much time online D. being addicted to computer games
In medical terms, the Internet addiction is ________.A. a personal life habit B. a way to escape problems
C. an official mental disorder D. the unnecessary use of the Internet
What does the author want to express in the last but one paragraph？A. Many women still can control their online time.
B. The Internet addiction influences housewives’ lives a lot.
C. Going online has become a necessary part of women’s lives.
D. Many people don’t realize that they are addicted to the Internet.

Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.
Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.
Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career. “It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication（投身，奉献 ) to the short story,” said one person.
Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”
Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami （村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.
Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.
She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.
“This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”
She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”
What is the feature of Munro’s stories？A. They have complicated （复杂的)contents.
B. They have similar story backgrounds.
C. They have specific themes for children.
D. They have the same characters in each book.
For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______.A. her love for Canadian culture B. her devotion to the short story
C. her special form. of writing D. her career of editing short stories
What can you infer from the sixth paragraph？A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.
B. Canadian writers were respected across the globe.
C. Canadian writers have long been ignored.
D. Canadians come a long way to win the prize.
What does the passage mainly tell us？A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize
B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature
C. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature
D. A world famous writer, Alice Munro
