2020年高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练第11天阅读理解A Chat OnlineYour friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.“I dont often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Foxs Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.And probably Foxs Shadow was one of them. “I log in (登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturday or Sunday when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You dont know who you are talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe on line.”Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to be known to someone very well. Foxs Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because Ive got friends in Australia, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.“If you are really addicted to (上瘾) it, sometimes you cant give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”56.People meet face to face offline when they think they _.A. have known each other well B. have the same interestC. have enough free time D. have nothing to do57.

We should think more of our friends in real life.BFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may think that friendship comes only too naturally, we often dont clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few- for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy( 亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary(变化) greatly. As we get to know people, we often think about things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background(背景).Some friendly friendships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests - they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with others bad habits and to stand differences.What is different from marriage about friendship is that there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relation between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to creature a powerful bond(契约), which can get over differences in background, and break down barriers(障碍) of age, class or race.60. According to the passage, _.A. friends are those who must share their interestsB. friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC.all the people know how to make friendsD. every student has six friends61.

Even friends may have different opinionsB. Friends never argue with each other.C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D. Someones habits may annoy his friends.CI had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them.Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.64. The writers parents allowed their kids to travel so that _.A. it could make the kids become braverB. the kids could earn some pocket moneyC. the kids could find jobs more easilyD. it
