Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men—about two-thirds of both genders, yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.

 American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.

Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.

“For men, it’s just, ‘give me the facts,’” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys, “For women, its ‘Let’s talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?’ It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”

About two- thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68%of the male respondents, and 66%of the female participants---a statistically insignificant(不重要的)difference given the study’s margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2%points. In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61%vs. 57%.

The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.

According to the passage, which of the following is not what American men who go online do?

A. Checking the weather and the news.             B. Searching for religious information.

     C. Downloading some music.                                   D. Taking a class.

What is the probable meaning of the sentence “gaps remain in what each sex does online”?

      A. There are some difference between men and women in the US.                 

B. There is a slight difference between the numbers of men and women online in the US.             

C. Men and women in the US have difference tastes about what they do online.           

D. Men and women in the US have difference way of surfing the Internet.

Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

     A. A small part of women in the US go on line today.

     B. Women in the US going on line are only concerned with personal problems.

     C. Men are still more likely to use the Internet than women.

     D. The gap between both sexes going online in 2002 was slightly larger than that in 2005.

What’s the author’s purpose of writing the article?

     A. To tell us the different aims of men and women in the US who go online.

     B. To show why men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.

     C. To teach us how to surf the Internet.

     D. To offer us some information of both sexes’ going online in the US.

I would like to talk to you about one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I was born and raised there and now I visit it from time to time. My family moved to the city, so I only go back to see friends or to camp and fish.

I grew up in a small town called Antonito Co. It is surrounded by mountains. So camping is a big source of happiness in the valley. There are so many beautiful places to hike.

The town itself is very small. It is said that if you blink when you’re going through it, you’ll miss it. This has some truth in it considering the size of the town. We have one grocery store, a tiny post office, and a tiny bank. There are also a few gas stations, bars, some excellent restaurants, a small hospital and of course several schools. However, for clothing and shoes, you have to drive thirty miles to Alamosa to shop there.

Everyone in the town is nice and we all know each other. The crime rate is zero unless you count some weekend fights that break out because some people drink too much. The classes in school are small, so you get a lot of attention from the teacher.

You’re probably wondering why I don’t live there. Well, I can’t get a job there. A lot of the businesses are family-owned. And they never fire their employees. So the employees work there usually until they retire. Most people have to go to other places to get a job .
