({B)}Party Random Thoughts({/B)} Last night, pressured by wdl4ntentioned friends, for the first time in months, I came out of writer’s seclusion and attended a cocktail party which is another word for a social gathering. So there I was, trapped in a crowded mom, people milling (乱转) all around me, each with a drink in hand, chitchatting while the waiters skillfully negotiated their way through the bustle with trays of colorful beverages and fancy hors d’oeuvres (小菜). It was definitely party time! Yet, instead of losing myself to the convivial (欢乐的) surroundings of food, drink and conversations, I found myself retreating back into my head all the way to China where the subject of American sociality is of great interest. In China, many of my students are curious about how Americans party and have a good time, "What do you do Sing and dance To what kind of music What’s American party talk How do you dress and act at a party How about food What do you eat " Every year without fail, students ask their foreign teachers to dedicate a full class to this fascinating topic. Of course, one would think that a subject as interesting and entertaining as such would make for an excellent lesson plan, a rich source of discussions. But to my surprise, many teachers run into roadblocks (障碍) when generating this particular lesson plan. "Michelle, Michelle! I have to teach a class on American parties. And I only have, hmm, five things to say about it. And that I’ll talk about five minutes. What am I supposed to do after that " They cry. "Wall, tell me what those five things are," I ask. "Arrive late, talk, eat, drink and have a blast." They blurt out. It is true that the five steps listed above encompass much of the goings-on at American social gatherings. Of course, during parties for special occasions such as birthdays, holidays, weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, graduations, etc. , there are additional ceremonies such as cake cutting, gift opening, dancing’, toasting, game-playing, etc. But regardless, the fundamentals of a typical American soiree (社交晚会) are good company, good food and drinks, and good times. Sounds simply, doesn’t it But if you were to look deeper and think further, you’ll realize that there’s far more to these steps than meets the eyes.({B)}Fashionably Late({/B)} It is a major faux pas (social embarrassment) to arrive at a party early or even on time. Therefore, with the exception of the hosts, you never want to be the first person present at a social function. Why Because people fear that others may think that they have no life or nothing better to do than waiting for a party to start. Many Americans try to project an image of business which, whether true or not, has a positive correlation with success. So by arriving late, you are saying, "I lead a full life and it’s exciting and productive." Therefore, an 8 o’clock party customarily doesn’t really start until maybe 9 o’clock as everyone wants to be thought of as a busy and important person with lots to do. In other words, a party is one of those rare occasions where your punctuality can actually hurt you. Strange, isn’t it Anyhow, remember, be fashionably late.({B)}Small Talk({/B)} One way of gauging the success of a party is by the noise meter. The louder the party is, the more happening it is, and the more fun people are having. Then you stop to wonder, if it’s .so noisy, how can people really hear each other and have great, engaging conversations The truth is, they don’t. They engaged in small talk, which is another word for casual, trivial conversations. They chew the fat, shoot the breeze and swap anecdotes about random- subjects: work, family, news, weather, hobbies, etc. Because the surrounding noise and activities often sidetrack people, it’s difficult to get personal or discuss any one topic at length or in depth. The point is to have fun, not to get serious. However, keep in mind that since people tend to be in good moods and spirit when attending a social function, parties often provide an excellent environment for making new friends and establishing valuable business contacts. In fact, in many professions, important business transactions am initiated at a social event. People meet, have a nice chat, exchange information and make a good impression. Sometimes that’s all it takes to begin a long-lasting friendship or business association. ,So never underestimate the power of small talk.({B)}Food for Fun({/B)} With the exception of dinner parties where a full meal is served, most parties offer finger food-food that you pick up with your fingers. (So don’t worry, it is not impolite to eat with your hands at parties.) Some of the classic party foods are cheese and crackers, crudites (vegetables and dip), fruits, shrimp toasts, Swiss meatballs, mini-sandwiches, shrimp cocktail, etc. And believe it or not, Asian foods are now in fashion. Mini egg rolls, California sushi rolls and various dim sum dishes always add an exotic flair to a party. And the Americans love it. Anyhow, party foods are meant to be eaten as a meal. They are simply delicious accents to the party and eaten to absorb all that alcohol you’re about to consume. So don’t pile too much food on your plate. Remember, you can always get refills. And one more thing, don’t talk with your mouth full. It’s rude.({B)}Drink and Be Merry({/B)} Here’s a frequently used party acronym, BYOB: bring your own bottle. Alcohol plays a big part in most American parties. To relax, unwind and enjoy themselves, people drink in a party. Anyhow that’s the way it should be. Unfortunately it’s not always the case and sometimes you sense the unspoken pressure to join the crowd. As a result, you feel out of place without a beverage in your hand. I even notice from observation that frequently the first thing people do upon arriving at a party is to hit the bar, kick off the night with a few drinks. Sometimes, there are even those, mostly young, who go to parties for the sole purpose of getting drunk, trashed, plastered, totaled. Not a smart thing to do since we all know the effect alcohol can have on us. (People tend to talk loudly when they’re intoxicated which might explain why it’s so loud at parties.) In America, there’s definitely a negative association between drinking and partying. If you lose control of your drinking, you lose control of your partying, and vice versa. As a result, drunks not only make a fool of themselves but their drunken behavior could endanger their safety and the safety of others. I suppose as with most things, moderation is the key.({B)}Party Hearty({/B)} At the end of day, the objective of attending a party is to have an unadulterated good time. A blast! And how do you do that You get in the spirit, go with the flow (but never do something you are uncomfortable with) and try not to be a party pooper (someone who spoils other people’s fun). If you have fun at parties, you are probably fun to have at parties. As a result, people who are more likely to invite you to their parties in the future. As my mind wandered back to the party, I realized that I was standing alone, my stomach growling, my hands empty of a drink. I was being a total party pooper. So I quickly grabbed a drink from the bar and snatched some of the delicious party food that waiter was bringing by. With a smile, I rejoined my friends. That night, we talked, we drank, we ate. We had ourselves a great time.Why the power of small talk should never be underestimated A．Because people may begin a long lasting friendship or business association.B．Because people may have a nice chat.C．Because people may exchange information.D．All above.

谁能帮我翻译英文（见补充说明）?It took only fifty-eight years, however, to go four times that fast, so that by 1938 men in airplanes were traveling at better than 400mph. It took a mere twenty-year flick of time to double the limit again. And by the 1960’s rocket planes approached speeds of 4000mph, and men in space capsules were circling the earth at 18,000mph.Whether we examine distances traveled, altitudes reached, or minerals mined, the same accelerative trend is obvious. The pattern, here and in a thousand other statistical series, is absolutely clear and unmistakable. Thousands of years go by, and then, in our own times, a sudden bursting of the limits, a fantastic spurt forward.

Online services are so designed that the more they are used, the more profit they generate.Who's Really Addicting You To Technology?F. However, as good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep them at bay. For example, we can change how often we receive the distracting notifications that trigger our urge to check. According to Adam Marchick, CEO of mobile marketing company kahuna, less than 15 percent of smartphone users ever bother to adjust their notification settings—meaning the remaining 85 percent of us default to the app makers' every preset trigger. Google and Apple have made it far too difficult to adjust these settings so it's up to us to take steps ensure we set these triggers to suit our own needs, not the needs of the app makers'.G. While companies like Facebook harvest attention to generate revenue from advertisers, other technologies have no such agenda. Take email, for example. This system couldn't care less how often you use it. Yet to many, email is the most habit-forming medium of all. We check email at all hours of the day—we're obsessed. But why? Because that's what the boss wants. For almost all white-collar jobs, email is the primary tool of corporate communication. A slow response to a message could hurt not only your reputation but also your livelihood.H. Your friends are also responsible for the addiction. Think about this familiar scene. People gathered around a table, enjoying food and each other's company. There's laughter and a bit of kidding. Then, during an interval in the conversation, someone takes out their phone to check who knows what. Barely anyone notices and no one says a thing.I. Now, imagine the same dinner, but instead of checking their phone, the person belches (打嗝)—loudly. Everyone notices. Unless the meal takes place in a beer house, this is considered bad manners. The impolite act violates the basic rules of etiquette. One has to wonder: why don't we apply the same social norms to checking phones during meals, meetings and conversations as we do to other antisocial behaviors? Somehow, we accept it and say nothing when someone offends.J. The reality is, taking one's phone out at the wrong time is worse than belching because, unlike other minor offense, checking tech is contagious. Once one person looks at their phone, other people feel compelled to do the same, starting a chain reaction. The more people are on their phones, the fewer people are talking until finally you're the only one left not reading email or checking Twitter. From a societal perspective, phone checking is less like belching in public and more like another bad habit. Our phones are like cigarettes—something to do when we're anxious, bored or when our fingers need something to toy with. Seeing others enjoy a smoke, or sneak a quick glance, is too tempting to resist and soon everyone is doing it.K. The technology, your boss, and your friends, all influence how often you find yourself using (or overusing) these gadgets. But there's still someone who deserves scrutiny—the person holding the phone.L. I have a confession. Even though I study habit-forming technology for a living, disconnecting is not easy for me. I'm online far more than I'd like. Like Schwartz and so many others, I often find myself distracted and off task. I wanted to know why so I began self-monitoring to try to understand my behavior. That's when I discovered an uncomfortable truth. I use technology as an escape. When I'm doing something I'd rather not do, or when I'm someplace I'd rather not be, I use my phone to port myself elsewhere. I found that this ability to instantly shift my attention was often a good thing, like when passing time on public transportation. But frequently my tech use was not so benign. When I faced difficult work, like thinking through an article idea or editing the same draft for the hundredth time, for example, a more sinister screen would draw me in. I could easily escape discomfort, temporarily, by answering email or browsing the web under the pretense of so-called "research." Though I desperately wanted to lay blame elsewhere, I finally had to admit that my bad habits had less to do with new-age technology and more to do with old-fashioned procrastination (拖延).M. It's easy to blame technology for being so distracting, but distraction is nothing new. Aristotle and Socrates debated the nature of "akrasia"—our tendency to do things against our interests. If we're honest with ourselves, tech is just another way to occupy our time and minds. If we weren't on our devices, we'd likely do something similarly unproductive.N. Personal technology is indeed more engaging than ever, and there's no doubt companies are engineering their products and services to be more compelling and attractive. But would we want it any other way? The intended result of making something better is that people use it more. That's not necessarily a problem, that's progress.O. These improvements don't mean we shouldn't attempt to control our use of technology. In order to make sure it doesn't control us, we should come to terms with the fact that it's more than the technology itself that's responsible for our habits. Our workplace culture, social norms and individual behaviors all play a part. To put technology in its place, we must be conscious not only of how technology is changing, but also of how it is changing us.A、A. "Nearly everyone I know is addicted in some measure to the Internet," wrote Tony Schwartz in The New York Times. It's a common complaint these days. A steady stream of similar headlines accuse the Net and its offspring apps, social media sites and online games of addicting us to distraction.B、B. There's little doubt that nearly everyone who comes in contact with the Net has difficulty disconnecting. Many of us, like Schwartz, struggle to stay focused on tasks that require more concentration than it takes to post a status update. As one person ironically put it in the comments section of Schwartz's online article, "As I was reading this very excellent article, I stopped at least half a dozen times to check my email."C、C. There's something different about this technology: it is both invasive and persuasive. But who's at fault for its overuse? To find solutions, it's important to understand what we're dealing with. There are four parties conspiring to keep you connected: the tech, your boss, your friends and you.D、D. The technologies themselves, and their makers, are the easiest suspects to blame for our diminishing attention spans. Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, wrote, "The net is designed to be an interruption system, a machine geared to dividing attention."E、E. Online services like Facebook, Twitter and the like, are called out as masters of manipulation—making products so good that people can't stop using them. After studying these products for several years, I wrote a book about how they do it. I learned it all starts with the business model. Since these services rely on advertising revenue, the more frequently you use them, the more money they make. It's no wonder these companies employ teams of people focused on engineering their services to be as engaging as possible. These products aren't habit-forming by chance; it's by design. They have an incentive to keep us hooked.
