Finally, a cell phone
That"s… a phone
With rates as low as $3.75 per week ！
“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that"s supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids ！ The people at the store weren"t much help. They couldn"t understand why someone wouldn"t want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive… and the"contract (合同）lasted for two years! I"d almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now,I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use. ”
Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订）！ Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan，I won ’t find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign_so I m not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.

“REMOVE from friends.”
This is no ordinary button. One click and I have the power to erase a person from my life.
In late fall, I had around 400 friends on Facebook. Today, I have 134.
Click. Make that 133.
When Facebook first entered my life in 2005, I panicked（恐慌、担心） that my friend count was too low. If I wasn’t properly connected, how would anyone see my clever quote(引语)? Who would wish me a happy birthday? I accepted and sent out friend requests without a second thought and soon accumulated 391 friends.
There is an appeal to being able to communicate with someone or just “thumbs(拨动手指) up” a photo rather than make real conversation.
“It’s comforting and it’s easy,” said Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University, who studies the way people communicate online.” There’s a sense of belonging in it. It’s a sense of community in a generation where community has sort of (有点)disappeared.”
However, I don’t talk to half of these people in the online community. There are some I would avoid if I met them on the street.
Click. 132.
I decided to rid my account of any “friend” that…well, wasn’t. Sound easy? You try it.
Look at who you’re dealing with: family, friends, classmates, crushes(爱恋的对象), acquaintances…
With every click of the “Remove from friends” button, you risk burning a bridge, losing a contact and missing an opportunity. So every time I go to click the button, my heart hurts.
However, I’m not the only one who has experienced a Faceboook friend refreshing. The New Oxford American Dictionary announces its “Word of the Year” each year, and last year, “unfriend” made the cut (入围) (though I’ll still stick with “defriend”).
When I started my mission(任务), a few friends joined. Most were surprised by how easily they could cut hundreds of connections without thinking twice.
“Oh my God, I defriended like 600 people today. I feel so good!” my friend Sarah messaged.
Dana, a close friend from high school, and I battled it out to see who could get our counts lower. She wins at 123.
To some, it’s poor “netiquette(网络礼仪)” to defriend. But to me, it’s the stage of life when we hold onto the people who count, the people who impact you.
小题1:According to the article, what happens when you click the “Remove form friends” button?| A．A message is sent out to your online friends. | | B．You accept someone as your online friend. | | C．You send out a friend request to people. | | D．The number of your online friends is reduced. |
小题2:The writer worried about her friend count in 2005 because ______.| A．no one would wish her a happy birthday | | B．it was the first time she had made friends online | | C．she had only 391 online friends at that time | | D．she was eager to make connections |
小题3:What is Larry Rosen’s opinion?| A．People living in the same area are closely connected in everyday life. | | B．Communication online helps people feel they are members of a group. | | C．It’s easy for people to make and break new friendships online. | | D．Today’s young people spend nearly all their time communicating online. |
小题4:Which of the following is the best description of the underlined sentence?| A．I made new friends online while I removed some old ones. | | B．Some friends cut the number of their online friends just like I did. | | C．We competed to see who could remove the most online friends. | | D．When someone removed me from a friends’ list, I removed him/her. |

IT’S over – millions of Senior 3 students across the country have finished their last exams. But in two years, it’ll be your turn in the examination room. How can you spend the time you have left to best effect? Read these thoughts from new graduates to get some pointers.
Cao A’min, 18
Xuanhua No 1 High School, Hebei
Study: Keeping pace (步伐) with teachers is a good way to study. Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic (系统的). But remember to work in a way that suits you. It’s also important to learn from past mistakes. Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make – it’ll help you avoid making the same ones later.
Zhang Zilu, 17
Xinyu No 1 High School, Jiangxi
Friendship: This time of life may be hard, but you’re not alone. You may be busy studying, but you can show you care by calling your friends or sending a short message. Don’t let your friendships die. Some boys and girls in my class were in love, but I’d advise against a relationship at this stage.
Zhan Yu, 17
Huanggang High School, Hubei
Health: It’s as important to live well as it is to study well, I think. I went to bed no later than 11:30 pm. It put me in the right mood for the next day. I didn’t follow a special diet (饮食), but I did make sure I ate a nutritious (有营养的) breakfast each day.
Ju Shuntian, 18
Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone Senior High School, Shandong
Relaxation: The person who plays well, studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn’t mean having to give up on every other activity. I played basketball or took a walk to relax when I felt tired. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently (高效地).
Zhang Qingzhou, 17
Dongtai High School, Jiangsu
Options: Besides taking the big exam, you have other choices for college. I took the independent enrollment (自主招生) exam held by Peking University and some other students even prepared to study abroad. Pay attention to any relevant information you can find, whether it’s from school, the news media or another source (来源).
