35、in the passage you have just read.(A) Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact these days. The term is “networked individualism. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite
36、meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks. Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interac
37、tion was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.

However, a lot of peo
38、ple interviewed for the Pew study say thats a good thing. Why? In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with m

According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?A. NetworksB. FriendsC. PhonesD. Parents.63. It can be inferred from
42、 the Pew study that _.A. people have been separated from each other by using computersB. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonelyC. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communicationD. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good th

It was Carlos.“My , youre tall, he said.Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat withou
44、t a word.I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else.
