Cambridge -- the University Town
1. When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean just that there is a university in it. Manchester and Milan have universities, but we do not call them university towns. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, market place and so on, but most of it is university--colleges, faculties, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, banks and churches, making these as well part of the university.
2. The town was there first. Two Roman roads crossed there, and there are signs of buildings before Roman times. Trouble in Oxford in 1209 caused some students and their teachers to move. Cambridge became a center of learning, and the authority of the head of the university, the chancellor, was recognized by the king in 1226.
3. At that time many of the students were very young (about fifteen) and many of the teachers were not more than twenty-one. At first they found lodgings where they could．Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply. This was the beginning of the college system Which has continued at Cambridge up to the present day.
4. The colleges were built with money from-kings, queens, religious houses or other sources. Today there are nearly thirty colleges. The newest are University College, founded in 1965, and Clare Hall. founded in 1966, both for graduates. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course; the numbers are too great. Many of them live in lodgings at first, and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college from the beginning. While he is in "digs" he must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week. His social and sports life centers on the college, although he will also join various university societies and clubs.
5. With about 8,250 undergraduates and over 2,000 postgraduates, the city is a busy place in "full term". Undergraduates are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don't try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures. The students' bicycles are hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of full term, you know that you are in a university town.

A bunch of behavior. sensors(传感器)and a clever piece of software could do just that，by analyzing your behavior. to determine if it’s a good time to interrupt you.If built into a phone，the system may decide you’re too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later.
James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system oil tiny microphones，cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity. First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones stongly predict whether your mind is interrupted
The potential“busyness”signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left
open or closed，the time of day，if other people were with the person in question，how close they
were to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use.
The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work . At random intervals，the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from“highly interruptible’’to“highly not—interruptible” . Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors . “It is a shotgun(随意的)approach：we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics find out which were important，” says Hudson
The model showed that using the keyboard，and talking on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be.
Interestingly，the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted . The computer got it right 82 per cent of the time，humans 77 per cent. Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message，whereas computers don’t care.
The first application for Hudson and Fogarty’s system is likely to be in an instant messaging system，followed by office phones and cellphones.“There is no technological roadblock(障碍) to it being deployed in a couple of years，” says Hudson

A Phone that Knows You're Busy
It's a modem conundrum: you're too busy to be disturbed by incessant phone calls so you mm your cell phone off. But if you don't remember to turn it back on when you're less busy, you could miss some important calls. If only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you, you wouldn't have to turn it off at all. Instead, it could let calls through during spells of relative inactivity.
A bunch of behavior. sensors and a clever piece of software could do just that, by analyzing your behavior. to determine if it's a good time to interrupt you. If built into a phone, the system may decide you're too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later. In a desktop computer, the system could stop instant messages or spain annoying you when you're busy.
James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system on tiny microphones, cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity. First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones strongly predict whether your mind is interrupted. The potential "busyness" signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed, the time of day, if other people were with the person in question, how close they were to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use.
The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work. At random intervals, the subjects rated how in term ptible they were on a scale ranging from "highly interruptible" to "highly not—term ptible". Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors. "It is a shotgun approach: we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics ferret out which were important," says Hudson.
The model showed that using the keyboard, and talking on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be.
Interestingly, the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted. The computer got it right 82 per cent of the time, humans 77 percent.

Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends？
Because they protect so many insects, and insects include【M1】______
some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects
would make impossible for us to live in the world; they 【M2】______
would ruin all our crops and kill our flocks and herds,
as it were not for the protection we get from insect 【M3】______
-eating animals. We owe a lot for the birds and beasts 【M4】______
who cat insects but all of them put together kill only
a fraction of the amount destroyed by spiders. Moreover, 【M5】______
unlike some of the insect-eaters, spiders never make 【M6】______
the least harm to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, and 【M7】______
or even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference
almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight
legs but an insect never more than six.
How many spiders are joined in this work on our 【M8】______
behalf？ One authority on spiders made a census
of file spiders in a grass field in the south of
England, and he estimated that there were more
than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is anything 【M9】______
like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on
a football pitch. Spiders are busy least
half the year in killing insects. It has been
estimated that the weight of all the insects
destroyed by spiders in Britain in one year would
be greater than those of all the human beings 【M10】______
in the country.
【M1】
