After having more than a few acquaintances (熟人)online, _it might come a blow to keen social networkers like Barack Obama, or even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg himself.

According to a research, the average person has in fact twice as many online friends as physical ones. Users of social-networking sites have on average 121 online friends as compared with physical ones. The study also claims that people tend to be more open, confident and honest with their virtual friends than their “real” ones.

“For most people , the Internet is a way of keeping in touch with loved ones and friends, but for people who are isolated due to illness, it plays a more vital role, and can often act as a lifeline.” says Helen Oxley, a psychologist at Wythenshawe hospital.

“People with illnesses often rely on the Internet to facilitate(促进) friendships, since they blog and use networking sites as a way of dealing with their illness. It can foster a sense of social connection for those who frequently feel isolated, which is important to psychological well-being.”

In wider society, the ways in which friendships are formed are changing, with people recognizing that they can develop deep and meaningful connections with others that they’ve never met, and may never meet. About one in 10 people has either met their best friends online, or believes they can make lifelong friends on the Web.

The findings highlight how social introductions are also changing. Only five percent would ask for someone’s phone number, while 23 percent are now likely to ask for an email address or a full name with the intention of adding the person to their social network.

At the same time, however, a questionnaire completed by 4,427 suggests that 20 percent of parents believe their children’s education is affected by surfing the Net. They think their children are doing poorly at the school due to the amount of time they spend on non-educational websites.

1.The underlined word “it” in Para 1 most probably refers to ________.

A. people spending too much time surfing the Net

B. people relying on the Internet to connect with friends

C. people having more virtual friends than real ones

D. people making meaningful connections with strangers

2.We can infer from the text that________.

A. sick people can recover more quickly by surfing the Net

B. students get important information online

C. students who surf the net always perform not so well

D. people tend to trust their virtual friends more than their real ones

3.What percentage of parents believe that the Internet has a bad effect on their children?

A. About 5 percent. B. About 20 percent.

C. About 10 percent. D. About 23 percent.

4.In the following paragraph, the author will probably discuss ________.

The smiling face of Santa Claus appears all across China.Local governments are decorating trees and lamp posts with lights and ornaments.At first glance,visitors would think they were in Europe.

Despite the fact that most Chinese are not Christians,Christmas season has become increasingly popular.

"If you walked around major Chinese cities 15 years ago,you wouldn`t have seen many signs of Christmas.However,if you were to visit those same Chinese cities again today,you’d be surprised to see signs of Christmas almost everywhere," says Cai Jiming,a professor with Tsinghua University,who has served as an expert in developing China`s holiday schedule.

Although Christmas is not a public holiday,many Chinese cities are still getting into the Christmas spirit.

Cai says his e-mail inbox and cell phone have been flooded with messages wishing him a merry Christmas.The greetings have been coming in since the end of November.

In his view,Christmas seems like a "warm-up" for the truly important coming month-long Spring Festival.

However,despite the prevalence (流行)of Christmas celebrations,for most Chinese,it neither means a religious celebration nor an occasion for family reunions.Instead,it is a time for relaxing with friends,a time to shop,a time to have a party and it is especially a time for romance.

"I expect my boyfriend to take me out on Christmas Eve and I expect a romantic night," says Christine Zhou,28,a hotel manager in Beijing."It seems to me that everything associated with Christmas time is romantic."

On the streets,rose and chocolate peddlers are vying (竞争)for their business.

Christmas has become another Valentine`s Day,and at the same time,more people feel it is a time to reward themselves with good food and a good time.

However,as more Chinese join in the Christmas celebrations each year,some feel the Western-based festival is harming time-honored traditions.

But Cai considers it is unnecessary to boycott (抵制)a Western cultural festival."All important festivals in different cultures have now developed into universal holidays," he says.”

1.From the first paragraph,we know________.

A.Christmas has become the most important festival in China

B.Christmas is celebrated by a great number of people in China

C.Santa Claus doesn’t appear in Europe any more on Christmas

D.The smiling faces of Santa Claus are hung on the trees in local governments

2.Professor Cai Jiming’s words in the third paragraph are used to________.

A.show he is a famous expert in China’s holiday schedule

B.prove Tsinghua University is the best university in China

C.prove Christmas season has become more and more popular

D.show great changes have taken place in China

3.Christmas celebrations for Chinese people mean_____.

A.a religious celebration.

B.an occasion for family to get together.

C.a lover’s celebration.

D.relaxing with friends and a time for romance.

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,”he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom.”

Things started well,but just after eight o’clock,his three little “good kids”—Mike,Randy,and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast,daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted “Where’s my toast,where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o’clock,things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11∶17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

1.When his wife left home,Brad expected to________.

A. enjoy his first day off work

B. watch TV talk show with his children

C. go out for a walk in the park

D. read the newspaper to his children

When you were young, ginger ale(姜味汽水)may have been a popular choice for reducing the unpleasant feelings caused by your upset stomach on the road to get to school. For years, ginger has been used to reduce the effects of nausea(作呕). But do you know it’s now also being looked at to fight cancer?

Scientists have discovered that ginger can kill cancerous cells in two different ways. On the one hand, ginger causes the cancer cells to “commit suicide” by destroying themselves while leaving the surrounding healthy cells untouched. Ginger can prevent the growth of diseased cells by destroying the environment they grow in. On the other hand, ginger tricks the diseased cells and causes them to fight among themselves. Researchers are now looking into one of the toughest cancers to fight. However, scientists find repeated treatment of disease by drugs can actually lose its effectiveness over time as the cancer builds up resistance(抵抗力)to the same treatment. This raises researchers’ confidence that ginger would help stop resistance from the cancer.

In a study, the cancer clearly stopped growing in the body of the mice that had been given ginger. The bad news is that such encouraging research has only been conducted on mice. The good news, however, is that it seems humans might be able to get the same benefit just by eating products with ginger and ginger root in them.

Cancer prevention and fighting abilities aren’t the only potential benefits you may get from adding a bit more ginger to your diet.

Drinking ginger ale when your stomach was upset as a child wasn’t just a placebo(安慰剂).Numerous studies and research, including the Mayo Clinic’s strict grading system, agree that ginger has some sort of anti-nausea characteristics.

Some believe that ginger works well against nausea after operations, while others use it to reduce motion sickness such as seasickness and car sickness. The Mayo Clinic, however, advises the use of ginger only to reduce nausea during pregnancy. While more research needs to be done, early studies are very promising, especially in that small amounts of ginger don’t seem to do any harm to the mother or baby.

Other health benefits from ginger exist as well. Since ginger is often considered to be useful in warming bodies, it can improve the condition of people’s joints including knees and ankle joints. Some suggest that ginger can help cure a cough associated with the common cold. Another benefit of ginger is that it seems to have no real side effects, which is one of the main reasons it appears to be safe during pregnancy.

But for safety, you should always consult a doctor for instructions on daily use before starting, even with something like ginger that seems to have little to no side effects.

1.Why do scientists think ginger can be used to fight against cancer?

A.Ginger can destroy diseased cells in two different ways.

B.Ginger is commonly considered as a kind of pain killer.

C.Ginger warms people’s bodies and helps them recover from operations.

D.Ginger has no harmful side effects according to a large amount of medical research.

2.We can learn from the third paragraph that___________.

A.ginger works well only for warm-blooded animals

B.ginger and its root have the same effect on humans as mice

C.people are likely to gain great benefit by having ginger

D.the research on ginger is promised to be carried out only on mice

3.What is the text mainly about?

A.Ginger’s medicinal effects.

B.The benefits of ginger ale.

C.A new discovery about ginger.

D.Detailed research on ginger.

4.What will most probably be talked about following the text?

A.How to use ginger in daily life.

B.Products made from ginger.

D.Why ginger can warm bodies.
