2、phone call can be a shock. My boyfriends Liverpool accent suddenly becomes impossible to interpret after his easily understood words on screen; a secretarys clipped tone seems more rejecting than Id imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid - hours become minutes, or seconds stretch into days.
3、 Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.,在网上呆了太久，听到电话铃声也会吓一大跳。显示屏上看多了我男朋友那些一目了然的文字，他的利物浦口音一下子变得难以听懂；而秘书的清脆快速的语调听上去比我想象的要生硬。时间本身变得捉摸不定几小时变成几分钟，或几秒钟延伸为几天。周末原本是我一周的黄金时段，现在却不过是平平常常的两天。,Article1_W_Popwin_virtual.1,virtual: adj.,1),虚拟的；网络的,Virtual life：网络生活,in fact, though n

For the last three years, since I stopped working as a television producer, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them via email and communicate wit
6、h colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is also computer-assisted.,在我不再当电视制片人的这三年间，我的大部分工作都是在家里使用计算机终端进行的。我通过电子邮件投稿和校订，利用互联网上的人名地址与同行交流。我男朋友住在英国，因此两人的关系也在很大程度上借助于电脑维系。,Article2_W_Popwin_submit.1,submit:,1),vt. give (sth.) to sb.,2),vt. yield

8、ge my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the endless snowstorm of 96 on TV.,我要是愿意的话，可以一连几个星期不出门而什么也不缺。我可以在网上订购食品、网上理财、网上恋爱、网上工作。事实上我有时独自呆在家里长达三个星期，只偶尔出去拿信、买报纸及日用品。19
9、96年那一场接一场的暴风雪我大都是在电视上看到的。,4.But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though Ive become one with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another link in the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to feel an aversion to outside forms of
10、 socializing. We have become the Net critics worst nightmare.,然而，一段时间之后，生活本身就显得不那么真实了。我开始觉得自己似乎与机器融为一体了，我接收信息，再发送出去，就如同互联网的一个连接点。其他上网的人也谈到了同样的症状。我们开始厌恶外面的社交方式。我们的状况成了批评互联网的人们最害怕见到的一幕。,take in:,1),receive, admit,2),include,3),make (clothes) narrower,4),understand,5),deceive,6),see,The dress was too b
11、ig, so I took it in.,I didnt take in what you were saying.,She took in every details of the other womans clothes.,Do you mean we should get rid of the stale and take in the fresh?,Dont be taken in by her promises.,This is the total cost of the trip, taking in everything.,3,4,2,6,1,5,Article3_W_Popwi

And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction, coming bac
14、k out of the cave can be quite difficult.,一下床就上机，不再为发型、服饰、面部化妆烦心，起初看似高级的享受如今却成为一种对生活的逃避，一种缺乏自律的表现。你一旦开始用网络交际取代人与人的真实接触，要走出这种穴居状态就会相当困难。,Article4_S_Popwin_And,1.What does “cyber-interaction” mean?2.What does “cave” here refer to?3. “coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult”.,“Cyber-” ： mean

17、otten to put on a skirt and walked outside in the T-shirt and underwear I sleep and live in.,我发现自己变得比以前怯生、谨慎、焦虑。或者，反过来，当我突然面对现实中活生生的人时，会变得过于兴奋，说个不停，爱打断别人的讲话。我老是担心自己衣着是否得体，担心自己会不会真的忘了穿裙子，只穿着夜间睡觉、白天活动的那件T恤和内衣就出门了。,Article4_W_popwin_conversely,conversely:,adv. 相反地,7.At times, I turn on the television a
18、nd just leave it to talk away in the background, something that Id never done previously. The voices of the programs are comforting, but then Im jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. Dateline, Frontline, Nightli
19、ne, CNN, New York 1, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves into the background. I decide to check my email.,有时我把电视机开着，让它作为背景声音一直响着，以前我从不这样做。电视节目中的说话声让人感到宽慰，可那些广告又叫我心烦。我发现自己沉浸在肥皂剧里，或者不停地收看最新的新闻报道和天气预报。一而再再而三地从“每日新闻”、“一线新闻”、
20、 “夜间新闻”、 有线新闻电视网、纽约一套上收看有关每一条新闻的各种不同视角的报道，尽管它们对我毫无用处。工作成了次要的。我决定去看一下自己的电子信箱。,Article5_W_popwin_but then,but then: but at the same time,The failure of Chinas soccer team looks inevitable. But then, anything can happen in football.,Article5_W_popwin_jar,jar: v. have an unpleasant effect jar on sb./sth
21、.,The way she laughs jars on me.,What does this sentence mean?,It means work becomes less important.,What becomes important to the writer?,The real human contact becomes important.,8.On line, I find myself attacking everyone in sight. I am bad-tempered, and easily angered. I find everyone on my mail
22、ing list insensitive, believing that theyve forgotten that there are people actually reading their wounding remarks. I dont realize that Im projecting until after Ive been embarrassed by someone who politely points out that Ive attacked her for agreeing with me.,在网上，我发现自己见谁攻谁。我脾气暴躁，动辄生气。我觉得我与之通信的每一个
23、人都麻木不仁，认为他们已经忘却还有人真会去读他们那些刻薄伤人的言辞。直到有人礼貌地指出，她同意我的观点却遭到我的抨击时，我才意识到，自己是在以己度人，不由得深感尴尬。,Article6_W_popwin_remark.1,remark:,1),n. words,2),v. say; give an opinion,He gives the remark that “he who plays with fire gets burnt”.,He remarks that ,9.When Im in this state, I fight my boyfriend as well, misinter

And yet we keep on, doggedly.,在这种精神状态下，我也和男朋友吵架，常因键出的对话缺乏情感暗示而误解他的本意。由于系统常出故障，两人一争就是几个小时。我写一句，他回一句，接着系统失灵！可我们俩还是
25、锲而不舍地接着吵。,Why does the author misinterpret her boyfriends intention?,Because the typed dialogue lacks the emotion that can be found in the real dialogue.,10.Id never realized how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours.

26、 company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.,以前我从未意识到日常的生活起居是多么重要，如穿戴整齐去上班，按时就寝。以前我从未想过自己会那么依赖同事做伴。我开始理解为什么长时间的失业会那么伤人，为什么一个人的生活缺少了外部支持的日常计划就会导致吸毒、犯罪、自杀率的增长。,
27、routine: n. fixed and regular way of doing things,请按常规办事。,Please do it according to routine.,常规,D R _ word _ rely 1,rely: vi.,put trust in,你放心好了，我会早到的。,You may rely on my early arrival.,Collocation：,依靠；信任,rely on/upon,abuse alcohol,D R _ word _ abuse 1,abuse:,Vt/n 1 滥用,2 虐待,abuse dogs,misuse 指 “误用”、
28、“滥用”，并不一定有目的性。 例如：,He misused the idiom.,11.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who havent fled New York City. I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week.
29、I arrange interviews for stories, doctors appointments - anything to g ket me out of the house and connected with others.,为了恢复生活的平衡，我强迫自己回到真实世界中去。我给别人打电话，与所剩无几的仍然住在纽约城的几个朋友安排见面。我至少设法去去健身房，以便使周末与工作日有所不同。我安排采访好写报道，预约看医生安排任何需要我出门与他人接触的活动。,D R _ word _ flee,flee: v.,They all fled (from) Beijing, Shangha

32、e. I enter my password. The real world disappears.,但有时面对面地与人相处实在难以忍受。我与一位朋友见面，她那种响亮的笑声让人忍无可忍饭店里的噪杂谈话声也让人受不了。我找了个藉口逃之夭夭。我重新回到我的公寓，冲向电脑，似乎那儿才是一个安全的地方。 我点击鼠标，打开调制解调器，曾经听了就烦的连接声此刻听起来就如同最心爱的曲子那么悦耳。我键入密码。真实世界转瞬便消逝了。,1.What is a virtual life according to the text？2.How is the relationship between the author and her boyfriend developed?3.Does she enjoy the life on the Internet always?4.Have you found any value of virtual life?5.Have you found any learning environment on the Net?,Thank you,
