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.

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.

3. What alternative will mankind have chosen in future?
A. To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours.

| As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it"s tough finding a job-especially if you"re competing with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don"t quite seem to land the job because you don"t have related experience. Don"t despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge. Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job. Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it"s perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help.

When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job. Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing.

| Boys need friends, suffer when they don"t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人)． Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship. Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group";they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years. As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me", someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep. |
| 1．The common belief of adults is that boys________. |
| A．don"t care about others as much as girls B．don"t value friendship as much as girls C．have the same friendship as girls D．have healthier friendship than girls |
| 2．According to the text, boys" friendship________. |
| A．is usually built around active play B．tends to be in small groups C．can bear mutual hurt between friends D．doesn"t suffer from failure |
| 3．The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________. |
| A．many people believe girls are better at relationships B．most boys consider their friends very important C．boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls D．boys may be more active in a friendship |
| 4．As a boy gets older, he tends to________. |
| A．widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people B．shift his focus from his friends to himself C．leave his parents out of his friendship D．be confused about what a friendship is |

| The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare"s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million.

It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West. |
