Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “faceless” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.
All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”

举一反三
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance.
This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, and recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days.
Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. Unless you are sure what to wear, it pays to dress slightly traditionally than the situation demands.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to dress properly in a business setting. |
B.The relationship between career and social life. |
C.The differences between professional and casual dress. |
D.Dressing codes vary in different situations. |

D.In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you can’t spot a manager among others. |
A.On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like. |
B.People’s clothes on dress-down days don’t receive much attention. |
C.We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes on dress-down days. |

“I often check my e-mail forty times a day. ”
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(上瘾)called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品)use. People lose control(控制)of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is “surfing the net” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms(症状): ①You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet. ②You can’t wait for your next online time. ③You go out with your friends less and less. ④You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
小题1:How does the writer describe the addicts’ use of Internet?
A.It is something like keeping drugs. | B.It is like taking drugs. |
C.It is a way of producing drugs. | D.It is terrible to imagine. |
A.The teens are wasting too much money. |
B.They used to work on the Internet. |
C.The playing field of the teens will disappear. |
D.More and more of the teens will become addicted to the Internet. |
A.some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted |
B.Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep |
C.Internet problems are more serious among college students |
D.the police often help to find those Internet addicts |
A.Do things as you have planned. | B.Go to family activities more often. |
C.Don’t be addicted to the Internet. | D.Stay with your parents as often as possible. |
Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹饪).
But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation(期望). It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients(配方), the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(葱爆羊肉)”.
Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm(魅力). The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墙)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.
小题1:Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu ?
A.Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes. |
B.Because the public expect them to do so. |
C.Because Chinese dishes are popular. |
D.Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food. |
A.They are too long to remember. |
B.Many of them are not correct. |
C.They lack cultural meaning and attraction. |
D.They are difficult to learn. |
A.Monks can jump high. |
B.Monks lived a poor life. |
C.Old China had little meat for people. |
D.The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious. |
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today"s young people seem to be about their families," said one member of the research team. "They"re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There"s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don"t want to rock the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. " I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I"m doing, they"re fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I"d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."
小题1:According to the author, teenage rebellion ________.
A.resulted from changes in families |
B.is common nowadays |
C.may be a false belief |
D.existed only in the 1960s |
A.Education in family |
B.Harmony in family |
C.Teenage trouble in family |
D.Negotiation in family |
A.go boating with their family |
B.share family responsibility |
C.make family decisions |
D.cause trouble in their families |
A.care less about their children"s life |
B.go to clubs more often with their children |
C.give their children more freedom |

Early in the 1990s, a group of Western-style buildings emerged at the Gubei New District in the southwestern part of the Hongqiao Development Zone in Shanghai. The Western-style buildings, marked by their great arches and the typical flavors of the unique European style, appealed to many foreigners and become their favorite choice when they came to live or work in Shanghai. Foreigners gathered in the zone, enjoying their quiet life there.
As the city further develops, more and more foreigners choose to live in the downtown area where most native Shanghai people live. They live close to local residents and gradually become interated(一体化)into the local life—they learn to cook local dishes, they learn to speak the Shanghai dialect and they celebrate traditional Chinese holidays together with native people. Their lifestyle is becoming more and more similar to that of local residents.
In the past, foreigners that came to Shanghai were mostly representatives(代表)sent to work in the city. Today, however, many foreigners that live in the city are students, business starters or ordinary people. Related information shows that there are more than 50,000 foreigners living and working in Shanghai.
小题1:Foreigners used to come to Shanghai to_____.
A.start small cafés | B.help build houses |
C.have a short visit | D.learn the Shanghai dialect |
A.built | B.appeared | C.stood | D.lay |
A.business starters | B.students | C.ordinary people | D.representatives |
A.There are fewer foreigners in Beijing than in Shanghai. |
B.It is the foreigners who make Shanghai an international city. |
C.Many foreigners enjoy the traditional Chinese festivals. |
D.The foreigners came to Shanghai to seek for money in the past. |
A.Foreigners Settling in Shanghai | B.The Development of Shanghai |
C.The Lifestyle of Shanghai People | D.Contributions of Foreigners in Shanghai |
