Many students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practising their language skills and learning
more about new cultures. Traditional pen pals were the main source (起源) of such contacts, and students
could write to each other. With the Internet, finding friends has become much easier, and such relationships
are called keypals.
However, careful thinking should be given when finding friends on the Internet:
First, search the Internet for famous services. Look for reviews of such sites to learn more about other
students" experiences. Don"t join a service until you have done your research.
Second, check to see if you can use a false name, rather than your real name, to protect your identity.
Never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number and birthday.
Third, stop contacting others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of conversation. Tell your teachers,
parents, or even the local government if you find that you are in danger.
And finally, try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communications with others.
Ask proper questions that will also help you learn about other cultures. Remember that one"s personal
experience might be just that: To understand a whole culture, you have to talk to many people, but this will get
you started. Good luck. |

The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was
7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.
By 9:45 pm, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless.
Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some
food was about to appear. By 11:00 pm, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads.
Jane and David left hungry and angry.
Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads
and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30 pm means drinks only, go
out to dinner afterwards: 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time thereafter means
no food, eat beforehand, to up late.
But this is not always that case. If asked to a students" party at 6:30 pm, it is normal for guests not to appear
before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive-looking eager-is social death. When my
mother is asked to a party for 6:30 pm, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age
group (late thirties) fall somewhere between the two, but because we still think we"re young, we"re probably
closer to student-time than grownup time.
The accepted custom at present is confusing (混乱的), sometimes annoying, and it often means you may
go home, but it does lend every part that precious element (成分) of surprise. |
| 1. The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean _____. |
| [ ] |
A. tired
B. crazy
C. curious
D. hopeless |
| 2. Jane and David"s story is used to show that _____. |
| [ ] |
A. party-goers usually get hungry at parties
B. party invitations can be confusing
C. people should ask for food at parties
D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull |
| 3. For some young people, arriving on time for a students" party will probably be considered _____. |
| [ ] |
A. very difficult
B. particularly thoughtful
C. friendly and polite
D. socially unacceptable |

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I rarely went to
bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next moming.
But after a while I couldn"t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare
occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher. So I set out
to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that
noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy.
The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if you"re going to get up earlier, you"d better
go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.
There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get
up at the same time every day. The second says you should go to bed when you"re tired and get up when you
naturally wake up. However, I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity.
If you sleep at set hours, you"ll sometimes go to bed when you aren"t sleepy enough. You"re wasting time
lying in bed awake and not being asleep. If your sleep is based on what your body tells you, you"ll probably
be sleeping more than you need. Also, your mornings may be less predictable if you"re getting up at different
times.
The solution for me has been to combine both methods. I go to bed when I"m sleepy and get up with an
alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at
different times every night-sometimes at 9:30 p.m. and other times at midnight. Most of the time I go to bed
between 10-11 p.m.
However, going to bed only when I"m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way. If
you want to become an early riser, you can try your own. |
| 1. According to the passage,the underlined phrase refers to _____. |
| [ ] |
A. people who stay up until the next morning
B. people who get up early in the morning
C. people who feel sleepy in the morning
D. people whose productivity is the highest in the morning |
| 2. Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser? |
| [ ] |
A. Because he/she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
B. Because he/she had found that his/her productivity was higher when he/she got up early.
C. Because he/she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep pattems was right.
D. Because he/she was told the high relationship between success and rising early. |
| 3. The author experienced all the following EXCEPT_____. |
| [ ] |
A. going to bed after midnight
B. getting up early occasionally
C. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping

A typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes
online purchases and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey
participants use the Internet for news-often entertainment-related-or for online games. About half download
music and movies.
They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Intemet more frequently
than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online
purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over
the Intemet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most
pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.
"Many people don"t trust the quality of goods bought online," Guo said Wednesday. "If they buy it in a store
and don"t like it, they can easily bring it back."
The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do
not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the
typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-
thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29,
60 percent to 80 percent go online. China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the
United States. |
| 1. A typical Chinese Intemet user will be the one who _____. |
| [ ] |
A. likes to send e-mails
B. likes to buy goods online
C. likes to pay for entertainment
D. likes the games sites |
| 2. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because _____. |
| [ ] |
A. it is more difficult for sales retums
B. people haven"t computers
C. people can"t have a look at the goods
D. goods bought online are of low quality |
| 3. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities? |
| [ ] |
A. Well educated.
B. Richer.
C. Female.
D. Young. |
