13.【题文】 At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced，the printers start working overtime. \trees to be cut down.” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just an on-line e-mail，even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.

14.【题文】How to not be a slave to technology
Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project, shared four of his most important tools for applying technology more productively .and building a work life that supports-rather than wastes-your energy.
Build daily rituals(习惯). 1 Build highly specific behaviors that you do at precise times over and over again until it becomes as automatic as brushing your teeth at night. The best way to prioritize(优先考虑)what is important to us and make sure we actually do the things we care about is to create highly specific habits.
Take a \things first\approach to your mornings. 2 Ninety-five percent of people have more energy early in the morning than they do as the day wears on，and they also have fewer distractions(干扰).So if that is the case, why would not you do the most important thing when you have the most energy?
Use technologies selectively. If you expose yourself to different forms of technology continuously, they will pull you in the ways a drug would。even when you know it is not serving you well. Keep technological temptations(诱惑物)away when you find yourself getting too distracted-or as Schwartz puts it\ \
4 Many of us live our lives in a gray zone-we are not fully focused on work when we are working, and during our leisure time, we are not fully relaxed. This leaves us feeling distracted. Schwartz’s s advice? 5 Applying less than your full focus does not just make you less productive; distraction keeps you from being fulfilled by and connected to your work. Distraction is the enemy to meaning.
A. Be intentional with your energy.
B. Do the most important thing first every day.
C. Taking breaks throughout the workday is a nice thought.
D. If you are trying to lose weight，don't have cupcakes in the fridge.
E. We have crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information coming at us.
F. When you're working, you're really working; and when you're relaxing, you're really relaxing. G. The only way to ensure that things that aren't urgent but are important happen is to develop habits.
