| Facebook means never having to say goodbye.The social media website has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends.Last week,a guy whom I hadn"t seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request.I accepted and waited for "Easy E" to send me a greeting of some kind.He had sought me out,after all. I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son.However,I"m pretty sure we won"t ever write walltowall,let alone email each other.But he"ll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list. My pool of friends consists of family members,college buddies,coworkers from past and present,and friends of friends.There are 35 in all.If I spent some time uploading old email addresses,I"m confident that I could increase my friend count actually. A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends,former classmates,distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better.And some people can even handle hundreds of onscreen relationships,keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions.After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends. Thanks to email,the inability to schedule facetoface meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with email, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That"s normal. People move from school to school, job to job,city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away. Every day,the masterminds of Web 2.0 find new ways of making human communication easier.

| As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours. I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds. By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife. 1. As civilization develops in the direction of technology,________. A. the basic essentials of life must be supplied B. it is important to supply the basic essentials of life C. it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of life D. it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life 2. According to the author, we are faced with________. A. the choice of providing and fulfilling our needs B. the choice of using technology C. the choice of earning a standard of living D. a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reduce the number of working hours 3. What alternative will mankind have chosen in future? A. To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours. B. To raise our standard of living. C. To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary. D. To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours. 4. Now most housewives wish to________.
