to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
Though cell-phones are usually considered devices that connect people, they may make users less socially minded,
which is found by a recent study from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business.
Marketing professors Anastasiya Pocheptsova and Rosellina Ferraro, with graduate student, Ajay T. Abraham,
conducted a series of experiments on test groups of cellphone users. The findings appear in their working paper,
The Effect of Mobile Phone Use on Prosocial Behavior. Prosocial behavior, as is defined in their report, is action
intended to benefit other people or society as a whole.
The researchers found that after a short period of cellphone use the subjects were less willing to volunteer for a
community service activity, compared to the control group（对照组）. The cellphone users were also less persistent
in solving word problems even though they knew their answers would contribute to a monetary（货币的）donation
to charity.
The study involved separate sets of college student subjects — both men and women and generally in their early
20s.“We would expect similar effects with people from other age groups,”said Ferraro.“Considering the popularity
of cellphones, it does have the potential to have wide social effects.”
The researchers use previous research to explain the cause of their findings：“The cellphone directly arouses
feelings of connection with others, thus fulfilling the basic social need to belong.”This results in reducing one’s
desire to connect with others face-to-face or to engage in empathic（同情的）and prosocial behavior.
The study also distinguished its subjects from users of other social media—Facebook users—in one of the tests.
The researchers found that participants felt more connected to others because of their cell-phones than because of
their Facebook accounts, suggesting that this difference in connection was the underlying cause of the observed
phenomenon.
66. A person will conduct prosocial behavior when he ___.
A. is closely connected to his friends B. uses the cellphone for a period of time
C. takes part in community service D. uses the cell phone a lot

A. Different accounts. B. Different purposes.

A. have a lot more friends
B. feel more connected to their friends
C. don’t like to engage in prosocial behavior at all.
D. are more likely to engage in prosocial behavior
69. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Cell Phone Use Has Broad Social Effects B. Cell Phone Use Leads to Prosocial behavior
C. Cell Phone Use is Linked to Selfish Behavior D. The Harmful Effect of Cell Phone Use.

Ladies have included arranging and attending social functions, such as state dinners. As the president’s wife, the

political, and other issues. Thousands of people wrote to her, asking for help. When she could not answer a letter
personally, she forwarded it to the proper government agency to answer.
Eleanor Roosevelt was a frank supporter of civil rights and worked to end prejudice（偏见）. She advised women
