As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious（反叛的）on the outside,36 on the inside I wanted people to 37 me.

Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t 38 , and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular 39 me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different — not so outwardly sure of myself.

I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 40 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 41 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 42 if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 43 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 44 me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." My mom said these were wonderful 45 , but I was the only person who could fill my 46 . She made me realize that even with my 47, — and they were many —I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.

I became a searcher,48 who I was and what made me unique（独特的）. My 49 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist (抵制) pressure to 50 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 51 who I really was. I came to feel much more 52 that no one can ever take my place.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.

Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets ready to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. Facemail.com.

Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模拟) emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. For example, type in-X, and Rachel blows a kiss.

LifeFX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirl(惠而浦公司) about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Morn can't be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.

Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I'm a fan. But Facemail should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got a Psycho-mail(疯人型电子邮件).

64. The pretty woman that appears on the writer's computer screen was ______.

   A. a woman working on the Internet      B. his brother's girlfriend

 C not a real person                    D. the picture of his pen-friend

65. The main advantage of Facemail is that ______.

   A. you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you

   B. you can see the person who sends you the e-mail

   C. yon can send an e-mail free of charge

   D. e-mail can be attractive in a more lovely way

66. The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that _______.

   A. Famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail

   B. Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting

   C. Nike website will increase its sales by Jordan

   D. Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website

67. What is the writer's attitude towards Facemail?

   A. He thinks it needs further improvement.     

   B. He thinks it cool and funny.

   C. He thinks it a danger to the Internet.

   D. He thinks people should be careful with Facemail.
