Lately, more and more singles are turning to the Internet for better dating opportunities. The process of an online relationship, however, is very different from the real-life dating process. The online environment is, by its very nature, restrictive. Trish met a man online, and the online relationship quickly blossomed into an intense, intimate encounter. She had lied in the beginning of the relationship by understating her own weight by 150 pounds. When he asked for her picture a week later, she worried about her lie, and sent a picture of a slimmer woman instead. In her mind, however, he would come to accept her physically once he fell in love with her soul. A few weeks passed, and the relationship intensified. He arranged to fly to meet her. She felt confident that her lie would be forgiven if she confessed in person. However, the woman he met was nothing physically that she had led him to imagine. He walked away angrily and refused to speak to her again. Trish blamed societys focus on beauty, not willing to realize that she had cheated him. Amy, a friend of mine, was involved in an online romance for several months with Jed, a man who lived in another state. Their relationship included lengthy and intimate phone conversations. They genuinely cared for each other, and spent time supporting one another through difficult life decisions. From their perspectives, they shared an intimate and loving relationship. When she suddenly became ill and hospitalized, I relayed messages to him, until he was able to contact her in her hospital room. They soon began discussing the possibility of living together. Problems occurred when they met for the first time. My friend complained that the spark that they shared online no longer existed in real life. Once completely charmed, they now easily annoyed each other. After sharing their feelings and troubles for three months, they became total strangers face-to-face. Realizing that they had crossed intimacy boundaries, it was uncomfortable to assume even a friendly relationship. 共5题(1) According to the 1st paragraph, the online relationship _D_. 本题2分(A)is similar to the real-life date (B)is not limiting by nature (C)is a better dating opportunity (D)is more and more popular among singles (2) Why didnt Trish send her own picture to the man? 本题2分B(A)Because she was very confident. (B)Because she was not as slim as she lied. (C)Because she fell in love with him. (D)Because the man loves slim lady. (3) When did the man arrange their first meeting? 本题2分C(A)After he knew the lie. (B)After he got her picture. (C)After their relationship became steady. (D)After he accepted her physically. (4) Why did the man get angry? 本题2分D(A)Because Trish refused to speak to him. (B)Because Trish blamed the society, not herself. (C)Because Trish didnt confess before him. (D)Because he realized he was cheated. (5) The story of Amy and Jed tells us _A_. 本题2分(A)Love online is hard to survive (生存) in real life. (B)Her illness made them live together. (C)It is hard for strangers to live together. (D)It is impossible to find true love online. 42. Who would want to build a virtual house on the Internet? Or spend hours online each week living inside a make-believe world? It sounds crazy, but thousands of video game enthusiasts do just that. Online worlds are becoming more popular than ever. Many people have belonged to these online worlds for years. Inside these imaginary worlds, video gamers develop characters over time. These characters learn skills, fight battles, build relationships, and even own property. Some communities inside these online worlds have several hundred thousand citizens! The people role-playing in online worlds buy and sell things with virtual money. Many gamers earn virtual money by running successful tailor shops and weapons dealerships in their online worlds. Money and treasures can also be taken from victims in battleits a dangerous virtual world out there! But gaining virtual wealth can be too time-consuming for the gamer who wants to buy his castle now. Serious game addicts have begun doing something the online world designers probably never imagined. Some gamers are exchanging real-world money to buy virtual money and property for their online worlds. Using online auction sites such as eB, gamers buy and sell whatever they need. A whole mini-economy has grown around this trade of goods. Some of the most valuable items for sale in online worlds arent cheap. Sometimes they are rare, which makes them even more valuable. For example, consider a nice virtual house in a prime location. This property might cost as much as a new TV set in the real world! For the person who doesnt participate in these online worlds, the appeal must seem peculiar. Whats the attraction with these online worlds? Why would people spend money on something that doesnt really exist? The money being exchanged for those online swords and castles is real. The swords and castles arent. Absurd? Maybe. But the time and effort spent by the players is real. So is their love for online worlds. It seems only the human imagination can make something out of nothing! 共5题(1) In the 1st paragraph, “make-believe world” refers to the following EXCEPT_D_. 本题2分(A)virtual world. (B)online world.

Mrs. Wilson, a Cree Indian in her sixties, was looking for a home to rent. She heard that one was available in an ideal location, close to the Calgary core. Mrs. Wilson and her daughters went to look at the house. Sure enough, there was a “For Rent” sign in the window. A woman next door told them that the owner was Antonio Pompei, who owned a bakery farther up the street. Mrs. Wilson has great difficulty walking for she is almost blind, so she waited in the car while her daughters went along to the bakery. The daughters met Mr. Pompei, who agreed to rent the house.

He had not realized Mrs. Wilson was Indian. Her daughters look more like their father, who is of a different ethnic（种族）origin. The next day, Mrs. Wilson and her daughters returned to the bakery in an attempt to rent the house. Because of her blindness, Mr. Wilson was helped out of the car and guided into the bakery by one of her daughters. Mr. Pompei told the women that the house was already rented. The Wilsons suspected discrimination. As soon as they got home, Mrs. Wilson phoned Mr. Pompei, without identifying herself, Mr. Pompei lost his temper.

The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, poor land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more chance of development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand. One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, the first concern of government will be to set a limit on the birthrate, whatever the final result may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and building industry grow weaker. Faced with concern such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable
