Growing numbers of people are becoming addicted to (上瘾) text messaging, a German doctor warned recently.
Psychotherapist(采用精神疗法的医生) Andreas Herter estimated that there were some 380,000 sufferers in Germany. Herter based his prediction on the growing number of manic mobile phone users among patients arriving at his Hanover clinic for addiction treatment.
“Text message addiction is a real and serious illness because it causes mental and financial damage,” said Herter. “The problem leads to depression and personality disorders, not to mention skyrocketing phone bills.”
For example, a teenage boy spent 8,900 euros (US$11,000) texting people he didn’t even know and a married couple could only communicate by text message, even when they were sitting side by side.

A proud US father has named his son after a computer software term(术语).
Jon Blake Cusack, from Mocjogam, told the local newspaper the US traditional way of adding “Junior” or “II” after a boy’s name was too common.
So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade(升级版).
Mr Cusack admitted that it took months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept the idea.
Mrs Cusack said she asked several friends whether they can accept this name or not.
All the men, she said, felt the name was “cool”. However, her women friends did not think so. “I think the women will end up liking it,” she said.
Mr Cusack told the local newspaper he got the idea from a film called The Legend of 1900, in which an abandoned (被抛弃的) baby is given the name 1900 to remember the year of its birth.
“I thought that if they can do it, why can’t we?” he said.
After little Jon Version 2.0 was born, Mr Cusack even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends designed to look as though he and his wife had created new software.
“I wrote things like ‘there are a lot of new features(特点) from Version 1.0 with additional(其他的) features from Jamie’,” he said. And he is already planning for his son’s future. “If he has a child, he could name it 3.0,” he said.
59. From the passage we know that “Jon Blake Cusack 2.0” ______.
A. shows the traditional way of American baby naming
B. is also the name of a computer software
C. has the same meaning as “Jon Blake Cusack Junior”
D. tells something about the hope the father places on his baby
60. According to Jamie, who disliked the name?
A. All her friends. B. Her women friends.
C. Her men friends. D. Nobody.
61. What do the names of “1900” and “Jon Version 2.0” have in common?
A. They’re both uncommon.
B. They’re both connected with computer.
C. They both tell about the births.
D. They’re to be equally popular.
62. What does “Version 1.0” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. A computer software. B. Mr Cusack.
C. Mr Cusack and his wife.
D. Mr Cusack’s grandson.

Not very long ago, the computer was a strange machine. Not many people understood it. Not many people said yes to it. Today much of that is changing. The first computer system was introduced for use in business in the mid-1950s. Since then, the number of computer systems used in business, government offices, and institutions has grown rapidly. In 1975, about 250, 000 systems were in use in the United States. This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The computer is an important factor in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to help us to collect data and to provide us with information. At one time people thought computers were only useful to banks, department stores and governments. But today the rapidly increasing number of computers are used for many other purposes. Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected(影响) by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are often prepared by computers.
Computers today are playing important roles in education, transportation and medicine. They are used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop defense systems. They are being used by businesses, governments and institutions. There is no doubt that their uses will become a greater part of our lives.
The influence(影响) of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on. Computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.
63. Before the l950s the computer was _______.
A. widely used B. no use at all
C. not understood by many people D. liked by people
64. The writer thinks our lives are affected by computers, but we _______.
A. don’t quite notice it B. have known it clearly
C. don’t want to know about it
D. don’t like it
65. Although the first computer system was only introduced in the mid-l950s, computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day. This means the
writer _______.
A. doesn’t like computers B. likes computers
C. thinks computers have developed rapidly
D. thinks we can’t live without computers
