25、Almost two-thirds of all adults now surf the Internet. We spend more and more of our time looking at computer screens. The question is whether this behaviour is driving human beings apart or bringing us together. Will the Internet make the world a happier or less happy place?

The social scientist Robert Putnam said, “I think people are still not sure about whether the Internet is going to be a kind of telephone for making connections with other real people, or a television, that is yet one more screen in front of us. I'm also doubtful about a complete virtual (虚拟的) community – that is the idea you can be best friends with someone that you don't even know.”

However, all is not lost. Research in the UK has shown that people who surf the Internet have more friends than those who do not. Robert Putnam says the key is in mixing the real and virtual experience.

The huge growth in e-mails, blogs and messenger services has created a host of new social networks which defy geography. Teenagers, especially, increasingly keep in touch with friends online but they are also developing new relationships with people who may share an interest but live on the other side of the world.

A new innovation (创新) is the creation of virtual worlds which promise a social life in virtual space. Second Life is an Internet community with a population of more than 100,000 real people. Each member of the community controls a 3-dimensional puppet (三维木偶) called an avatar which show their personality. They can then take part in many kinds of social activities – parties, dancing classes and shows.

Could this be the answer to social loneliness in the real world?

Aleks Krotoski, a video games inventor, says the Internet offers new possibilities: “These virtual spaces are able to create happiness between people. There's so much socially in these places now. It's very much about a place to go to events, meet people or just chat. I can imagine that this kind of thing is what the Internet is going to be like in the future. It will be like a 3-dimensional space that actually looks very much like the real world.”

【1】According to Robert Putnam, ______.

A. the Internet is a device to connect with real friends

B. more people surf the Internet now to make more friends

C. we had better make friends in both real and virtual worlds

D. you can find your best friend in complete virtual communities

【2】The underlined word “defy” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.

A. challenge   B. consider   C. support   D. test

【3】We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. all Internet communities will be 3-dimensional in the future

B. people can have social life in virtual spaces like real world

C. virtual spaces will be the only way to create happiness

D. Second Life will never make people feel lonely

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Does happiness live in virtual spaces?

B. Are teenagers getting closer to each other?

C. Do video games help with social loneliness?

D. Do virtual communities look like real world?

28、阅读下面短文，然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式（每空一词）。

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台） in her【1】（总的） store. Before long, she let me sit there by myself. I quickly learned the importance of 【2】（对待） customers politely and saying “thank you”.

At first I was paid in candy. Later I 【3】（接收） 50 cents an hour. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. Watching my money grow was well 【4】（值得） anything.

By the time I was 【5】（十二） years old, my grandmother thought I had 【6】（表现） so well that she encouraged me to sell cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers 【7】（直接地） in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted. My grandma’s trust taught me how to get 【8】（机会） and be responsible.

The job taught me a 【9】（更安全的） lesson: To be a successful salesperson, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist—you need to listen to customers. I expect they are no longer women asking something from me. 【10】（反而）, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

29、People around the world eat eggs. You can cook them in many different ways! My favourite way to eat eggs is sunny side up. You heat a pan (锅), add some oil and ________ an egg into it. One side of the egg cooks until the white part becomes solid (凝固), and the yellow part of the egg ________ yellow. It looks like a happy sun on a plate. That is why we call it “sunny side up”.

The adjective “sunny” is also used to describe people. A very happy person can be described as sunny. We often match “sunny” with “________ ”. It describes the ways that people behave. Let’s look at an example. My classmate Peter is ________ for being sunny. Anyone who meets him likes him. He is always smiling and energetic. Peter is always in a good ________.

We can also call a very happy person “a light of sunshine”. The light cuts ________ clouds and darkness to make the day bright. People who are lights of sunshine do the same, which means that they can ________ your spirits or make you feel happy. They bring joy into the lives of others.

But sometimes we use it in a different way. I may call someone “a light of sunshine” if he acting unhappily or even ________. In fact, there is nothing wrong with my friend when he feels like this, but nothing seems to make him happy. I can say to him, “Well, aren’t you a ray of sunshine today?”

Of course, people cannot always keep happy during their ________, because good things and bad things each have a 50 percent chance to happen. People may be influenced by different kinds of things, ________ some of them are able to think about the good things in life more than the bad. In other words, they choose to look on the sunny side of life.
