   A new tool of communication called the "drift diary" is doing the rounds among young college graduates.

The "drift diary", like those ancient paper messages put into a bottle left to drift on the high seas to reach hundreds of miles away, connects lonely hearts. It was first started by a Beijing woman, who goes by the screen name Little S, in 2007.It has become the preferred tool of communication among youngsters afraid to reveal their innermost self to peers, but wanting to share their lives with others. The way it works is that the initiator(发起人)of the diary mentions it on popular Internet forums such as Tianya and Douban. Those wanting to react or otherwise add to the diary then send their real names and addresses to the initiator via e-mails or text messages.

The numbers in one group are usually restricted to between 30 and 50. The diary then is passed on to another by the express delivery or personal handover. The diary writers are mostly anonymous(匿名的)but if they wish to reveal their identity they can do so by posting their contact information at the end of their postings.

The diary writers not just add words but also decorate the plain notebooks with cartoons, drawings or even dress it up with a ribbon or a new cover. Interesting experiences, travel journals, the simple joys of everyday living or sweet recollections of childhood, all find a place in these diaries. Most often, though, the writers set down their frustrations and predicaments.

It usually takes one year for a diary to return to the initiator. The last recorder is the luckiest one, with access to all previous entries, while others can request photocopies of them from the diary's initiator.

【小题1】Why is the "drift diary" popular among youngsters?
A.Because they hate using the Internet.
B.Because they like to show themselves to peers.
C.Because they want to share their lives with strangers.
D.Because they find it fashionable to be a diary writer.
【小题2】Which one shows the correct way a drift diary works?
①The diary then is passed on between the recorders.
②The diary returns to the initiator.
③The initiator of the diary makes a mention online.
④Participants request photocopies of the diary from the diary's initiator.
⑤Those who want to participate in the program get in touch with the initiator.
A.③⑤①④②B.③⑤①②④
C.④⑤①②③D.①③⑤②④.
【小题3】What does the underlined word "predicaments" in the last but one paragraph probably mean?
A.Successful experiences.B.Sense of achievement.
C.Difficult situations.D.Favorable conditions.
【小题4】Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?
A.Drift Diary——A New Tool of Communication
B.How a Drift Diary Works
C.Share Your Lives with Strangers
D.The Diary Passed on

   Robyn Lee, a 15-year-old teenage girl who studies at York Community High School, US says she has four friends. But she also has 15 to 20 other friends she considers part of her regular social circle.

“It's like a bad thing to have only one, friend ,”explained Robyn. “If you have one friend, it means only one person likes you. That’s not cool,” she said.

For many years, experts studying teen friendships have known that teenagers prefer to travel in groups. In studies conducted in 1963 and in 1995, researchers found teen friendship groups averaged six people. In 2005, when teens were asked about how many friends they kept in touch with regularly, the average answer was 20.

The change to bigger -group friendships has advantages, such as increasing more connections and improving teens' self-pride by giving them a place to belong.

However, the change also has some disadvantages,say psychologists. “The meaning of friendship is becoming much more complicated,” said Bernardo Carducci, a professor of psychology at Indiana University Southeast.

MaryRose Moss, a 17-year-old in Chicago, knows how she could get more friends. She created a Facebook page when she was 14 and within months , she had her group of 500 friends.

Text messaging has opened the door to many new connections, she says. “I'm friends with some people that I wouldn't be as close to if it weren't for technology,” said Moss. “It's so easy to send a text to somebody even if you don't know him very well. ”

Some psychologists wonder whether social-networking technology is affecting some skills children once got from making friends in the old-fashioned way.

“In the past, you argued, discussed and reached an agreement, but if somebody disagrees with you now, you can ‘defriend’ him with the click of keys,” said Carducci.

Marianne Boe, a social studies teacher in Chicago , sees signs of changing friendships in the hallways. Ten years ago, she could easily know groups of girls who stayed friends through all four years of high school. “Today, it's harder,” Boe said.

【小题1】Robyn is introduced at the beginning _____________ .
A.to show how today's teenagers make friends
B.to give an example of modern teen friendship patterns
C.to show that today's teenagers are afraid of loneliness
D.to give an example of teen addiction to social networks
【小题2】What is behind the change to bigger-group friendships,according to the passage?
A.Text messaging.
B.Changes in teen taste.
C.Modern technology.
D.Social-networking culture.
【小题3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Teenagers don't know how to develop really close friendships.
B.Teenagers change their friends more often than before.
C.True friends no longer appear in the school hallways.
D.Teenagers respect others' privacy more than before.

   One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn't actually in the room with her. 【小题1】 I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn't see.

That was a long time ago. Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. 【小题2】 These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughter's smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as“the cloud disk”, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.

【小题3】 Few spend time talking face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones , we store their photos at our screens. It seems that the most connected generations are also the loneliest.

Don't let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 【小题4】

Remember that we are here to love each other,help each other and make this world a better place. 【小题5】 But when it can't, turn it off.

A.Connect offline as well as online.
B.Then came computers and smart phones.
C.Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.
D.We should communicate with each other with phones off.
E.When your communication equipment can help to do these things, then use it.
F.However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.
G.When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.

If you don’t think technology can improve your trip better, meet Judy. When she recently checked into the Biu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked her to pay hundreds of dollars higher than the online offer. It was not a cheap stay, but it became more of one after she fired up the Booking. Com app she’d used to purchase her room on her smartphone. “As soon as I showed him the rate, he honored it,” Judy says.
Technology may create challenges for travelers-indeed, it may have led to Judy’s rate confusion in the first place-but it can also solve them. The solutions go beyond making sure of a hotel rate. The latest version of Booking.com is among the most feature-rich booking programs. Users can select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed rate.
Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app for that, called Commute. As the name implies, it’s aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic data 15 minutes before you leave.
Another source of travel-related conflict and confusion is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest version of Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It instantly converts(兑换) a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso(浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. One extra feature is the ability to set up an alert that tells you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.
【小题1】What does the example of Judy want to show?
A.The rate of Biu Hotel was higher than that of others
B.Technology can make our trips better
C.The clerk was very friendly and patient
D.The smart phones have many functions
【小题2】What is the main function of Travel Money Tracker?
A.It tells people how much Espresso costs
B.It warns when people are overspending
C.It records all people’s purchases
D.It changes the native currency to yours
【小题3】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage people to travel
B.To help people with technology problems
C.To introduce some new apps
D.To provide people with traveling information
