Social networking isn't only for the under 40s. More than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research.
"The latest data tells us that more and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life for Americans 50 plus," said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which released the report.
Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in
touch with relatives, but not just their children and grandchildren. "They are using the Internet to keep up with the world and the people who are important to them," said Jean Koppen, the author of the report. She added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family, but with their friends and peers. Almost 50 percent of older adults were introdu
ced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild. "Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet," according to the report.
The findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,863 adults. In addition to keeping up on Facebook and Twitter older adults are also aware of the latest technology. Eighty-three percent had heard about the Apple iPad and 11 percent intended to buy one.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上写出答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: In London, commuters (乘车上下班的人) do not look at each other. 【小题1】 That's not rudeness— people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection. Nor are they reading a book. 【小题2】 Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.
【小题3】 Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000－yes, that's 40,000－"apps" (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time－filler. One "app"，called ishoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. Isteam clouds the iphone screen when you breathe into the microphone. 【小题4】
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction of choice. It's not just teenagers who "plug in" to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e－books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work.
【小题5】
| A．With this distraction, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train. |
| B．New technology has replaced quiet habits. |
| C．You can then write the “steam” on your phone screen. |
| D．Technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time. |

Amazon Introduces a Digital Music Locker
Amazon.com, plans to introduce a service that will let people upload their digital music to the Web from anywhere. 1.
The service, known as a music locker, was made available to Amazon account holders early Tuesday．Amazon will offer a Web-based hard drive backup service called Cloud Drive, where people can store documents, photos, videos and music．
It will also offer Cloud Player, which will let people listen to, download and make play lists from the music they store on Cloud Drive from any Web site or from an app on Android devices． Cloud Player will automatically upload songs bought on Amazon． 2.
3. One key difference is that Google and Apple reportedly want to automatically make all the music that a user owns available to stream on other instruments, while Amazon will require that people upload music, except songs they buy on Amazon, to access it elsewhere．
The dream of these companies, along with many start-ups, is for people to be able to listen to their music from any computer or phone． 4. Several experts in digital music say that the music locker business is still legally ambiguous． 5.
Amazon says it has avoided the problem, because its users would upload their songs, in MP3 to the cloud-based service, just like backing them up on an external （outside） hard drive or a Web-based computer backup service．
Companies, including Google and Spotify have been forced to delay introducing certain services while they negotiate with the music labels and publishers．
A．People can access it from any computer and from Android phones．
B．But they have all run into the same problem: music companies and publishers would prefer that listeners buy a new copy of a song everywhere they want to listen to it．
C．Experts suspect that Amazon seems to be copying what Google and Apple have already achieved．
D．They agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity （匿名） because their agreements with Amazon are confidential．
E．It is impossible for Web companies to tell whether a song was bought legally or downloaded illegally．
F．Amazon is racing Google and Apple, both of which are interested in offering similar services．
G．It will also scan iTunes or Windows libraries to find other music to upload．
