gold-medal power lifter, and i knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.i spent over an hour talking to matthew. never once did he complain or ask, “why me?” he spoke about winning and

people ask for information, play games, and share hobbies. others buy and sell products. still others look for friendship, or even love.unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screenidentity and appearance mean very little in cyberspacerather, a persons thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really countso even the shyest person can become a chat room starusually, this “faceless” communication doesnt create problemsidentity doesnt really matter when youre in a chat room discussing politics or hobbiesin fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the internet a great place for exciting conversationwhere else can so many people come together to chat? but some internet users want more than just someone to chat withtheyre looking for serious love relationshipsis cyberspace a good place to find love? that answer depends on whom you asksome of these relationships actually succeedothers fail miserablysupporters of online relationships state that the internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually firstpersonal appearance doesnt get in the waybut critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspacewhy? because the internet gives users a lot of control over how others view theminternet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to giveand they dont have to worry about what their “nonverbal” communication is doing for their imagein a sense, theyre not really themselvesall of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspacebut not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationshipwith so many unknowns, its easy to let ones imagination “fill in the blanks” this inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in personhow someone imagines an online friend is often quite more different than the real personso, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of internet pioneer clifford stoll: “life in the real world is far richer than anything youll find on a computer screen”52according to the passage, chatting in the cyberspace .astresses more about peoples identitybneeds people to be rich in knowledgecputs emphasis on peoples thoughtsdallows people to discuss politics secretly53people who are against online dating think .awhat is said online is under control of the internetbone may not show the real self in cyberspacecthe faceless communication is conservativedit is hard to protect the others identity54by saying “with so many unknowns, its easy to let ones imagination fill in the blanks”, the writer means that .apeople may be disappointed when they meet in personbthe internet makes it easy for people to imagine how others view themcthe internet allows people to get more information about their loved onesdpeople usually get to know each other by chance through the internet55we can infer from the last paragraph that clifford .ademands to develop the computer systembbelieves it hopeless to find love onlinecencourages people to enjoy modern lifedsupports to look for love in the real life chans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. living alone, every day he worked in his garden. in all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. all sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flowers place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell. hans had many friends, the most devoted being the miller. so devoted was the rich miller to hans that hed never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. the miller used to talk about noble ideas, and hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend. the neighbors thought it strange that the rich miller never gave hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship. in spring, summer, and autumn hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. though extremely lonely, the miller never came to see him then. “theres no good in going to see hans while the snow lasts.” the miller said to his wife, “when people are in trouble they shouldnt be bothered. so ill wait till the spring comes when hes happy to give me flowers.” “youre certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “its quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.” “couldnt we ask hans up here?” said their son. “ill give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.” “how silly you are!” cried the miller. “i really dont know whats the use of sending you to school. if hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybodys nature. i am his best friend, and ill always watch over him, and see that hes not led into any temptation. besides, if hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldnt be confused. the words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. everybody can see that.” he looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tears. spring coming, the miller went down to see hans. again he talked about friendship. “hans, friendship never forgets. im afraid you dont understand the poetry of life. see, how lovely your roses are!” hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter. “ill give you many good things. i think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the miller. “and now, as ill give you many good things, im sure youd like to give me some flowers in return. heres the basket, and fill it quite full.” poor hans was afraid to say anything. he ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the millers basket, imagining the many good things promised by the miller. the next day he heard the miller calling: “hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?” “im sorry, but i am really very busy today.” “well,” said the miller, “considering that im going to give you my things, its rather unfriendly of you to refuse. upon my word, you mustnt mind my speaking quite plainly to you.” poor hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted. one evening hans was sitting by fire when the miller came. “hans,” cried the miller, “my little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and im going for the doctor. but he lives so far away, and its such a bad windy night. it has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me. you know im going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.” “certainly,” cried hans. he struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the millers house in time to save the boy. however, hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned. at hans funeral, the miller said, “i was his best friend. i should walk at the head of the procession.” every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. 56. from the passage, we can learn that hans _. a. was extremely wise and noble b. was highly valued by the miller c. admired the miller very much d. had a strong desire for fortune57. “flour is one thing, and friendship is another” can be understood as _. a. “different words may mean quite different things.” b. “interest is permanent while friendship is flexible.” c. “im afraid you dont understand the poetry of life.” d. “i think being generous is the base of friendship.”58. from the millers talk at home, we can see he was _. a. serious but kind b. helpful and generousc. caring but strict d. selfish and cold-hearted59. whats the main cause of hans tragedy? a. true friendship between them. b. a lack of formal education. c. a sudden change of weather. d. blind devotion to a friend. 60. the author described the millers behavior in order to _.
