In this day and age, you can practically do anything with the help of the Internet. While chatting with a stranger may seem new and exciting, make sure that you stay safe while still having fun.
While there are some unpleasant people in the world, let’s remember that most people are friendly! If you find someone who likes the same restaurant as you or who is also crazy about Gilmore Girls, then feel free to talk the night away! Just keep the conversation light and talk about your common interests. If a topic that doesn’t fit well with you is brought up, keep in mind that you are always in control. Under no circumstances should you be forced to talk or think about anything inappropriate. Ignore your manners at this time!
Do stay open-minded. Sometimes chatting with strangers can turn into a close bond—or just another person you can turn to for a laugh. But when you are typing away in your computer, it’s easy for you to get carried away and to tell your new friends all about yourself. Keep the personal details secret, and instead talk about fun hobbies or the latest episode (一集) of The Good Wife.
Always listen to your instincts (直觉). If something inside of you is telling you something isn’t right, it probably isn’t. Pay attention to how your body responds to certain people online. Remember, you never really know who you are talking to just by looking at a computer screen name, so downloading anything is absolutely no.
See? Talking to strangers online doesn’t always have to be appalling experience. By following these do’s and don’ts, chatting with someone you don’t know can be cool and pleasant, and can make sure that you stay safe in the world of the Internet.
1.When you chat online, it is acceptable if you ________.
A. send a stranger a picture of yourself
B. stop chatting if the topic upsets you
C. never refuse to talk to any stranger online
D. let out some personal information
2.What should you do when chatting online?
A. Avoid chatting with those different from you.
B. Try to be polite when a topic make you feel upset.
C. Avoid downloading everything from strangers.
D. Don’t expect to get a lifelong friendship from a stranger.
3.The underlined word “appalling” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A. terrible B. funny C. exciting D. comfortable
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Advantages of surfing the Internet
B. Guidelines on Chatting with strangers online
C. Advice on how to get a lifelong online friendship

Every day we are bombarded with images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a phenomenal comeback.
“We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio," said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast. These statistics, released by Edison Research, reveal the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format. The term "podcast," was coined in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. Since the leap in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast subscription rates have only accelerated.
The appeal of the podcast partially resides in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities. You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney university media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTunes .”I listen while I'm pottering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable..... And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world," she said.
Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability "to create intimacy and emotional connection." Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, major in social work and arts, agrees. "When you're tuned in, it feels as if the voice of the podcast's narrator is talking directly to you. It's comforting," said Proust.
1.From the passage, we can learn that____.
A. Radio is developing more quickly than mediums with images, videos, music and news.
B. Podcast has its origin in the traditional radio broadcasts.
C. In the last month alone, 15 percent of world adults listened to a radio podcast.
D. Podcast was becoming popular from 2004.
2. By saying "We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio," Alex Blumberg wants to
Tell us that ______
A. Traditional radio broadcasts will be loved by people again.
B. Radio has attracted more people than TV and other forms of media .
C. Radio will be more and more popular in the form of podcast.
D. The Sydney Morning Herald will help radio become popular again.
3.For podcast, which is wrong?
A. You can listen to it at any time and any place.
B. You can download it without pay.
C. You can learn new content every week from it.
D. You can listen to it according to your own demand.
4. From the last paragraph, we can infer
A. television and music has become less popular .
B. Hazel Proust has different opinions with Blumberg
C. podcast can build up close relationship with listeners
D. using podcast the narrator can talk to listeners directly

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally (晚期的）in patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives（剥夺）the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies . Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up - to - date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.
1. The elders of today's Americans _______ .
A. are often absent when a family member is born or dying
B. are unfamiliar with birth and death
C. usually see the birth or death of a family member
D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life
2. Children in America are deprived of the chance to________.
A. visit a patient at hospital B. visit their family members
C. learn how to face death D. look after the patients
3. The need of a dying patient for people to accompany him shows________.
A. his wish for communication with other people B. his fear of death
C. his unwillingness to die D. he feels very upset about his condition
4. It may be concluded from the passage that________.
A. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition
B. dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death
C. most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided
D. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need
