social networking sites have become extensions (延伸) of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?in the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. however, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. this realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.these days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life. sometimes we feel that privacy is violated (侵犯）when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. on the one hand we dont want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. on the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.a recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request: “when a teen ignores a parents friend request, it doesnt necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 21. the passage is mainly about _. a. privacy onlineb. parents friend requestsc. the generation gap d. social networks22. from paragraph 2, we learn that _.a. parents have realized the importance of social networksb. parents feel secure about their privacy onlinec. social networks successfully fill the generation gapd. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate23. teenagers may refuse a parents friend request because _.a. their parents make negative comments on themb. they hide something from their parentsc. they are unwilling to be watched by parentsd. their parents tend to fall behind in technology24. the passage is written mainly for _.a. parents b. teachers c. researchers d. teenagers 【参考答案】2124 bacd ausually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. but there is one question that has millions of current answers. that question is “whats your name?” everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.have you ever wondered about peoples names? where do they come from? what do they mean?peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. some parents choose the name of a well-known person. a boy could be named george washington smith; a girl could be named helen keller jones.some people give their children names that mean good things. clara means “bright”; beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; donald means “world ruler”; leonard means “as brave as a lion”.the earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. a family with the name brook or brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. the greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.other early surnames came from peoples occupations. the most common occupational name is smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. in the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. some other occupational names are: carter a person who owned or drove a cart; potter a person who made pots and pans.the ancestors of the baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. the carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. when there were two men who were named john in the same village, the john with the gray hair probably became john gray. or the john who was very tall could call himself john tallman. john fish was probably an excellent swimmer and john lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. english-speaking people added s or son. the johnsons are descendants of john; the roberts familys ancestor was robert. irish and scottish people added mac or mc or o. perhaps all of the macdonnells and the mcdonnells and the odonnells are descendants of the same donnell.1. which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage not cover?
