This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. The country has the world"s highest percentage of highspeed Internet services. It also has a high number of online game players and related problems. It was once reported that a young man collapsed (突然晕倒) and died while playing online games. He had been playing almost nonstop for 86 hours at an Internet cafe. Another young man killed his sister after becoming confused between the online world and real life. A 12yearold boy stole US $ 16000 from his father and ran away from home. He did this to continue his obsession (着迷) with online game. Such problems, however, don"t just happen in South Korea. They are spreading to other parts of Asia, as well.
What kinds of people develop online game addiction? What does the problem look like? Dr SueHuei Chen, a clinical psychologist, researches Internet addiction.

After school, I developed the film and printed two sets of photos. That evening, I started to match the names with the faces. I kept one set of pictures at home for about a week so that I could review their names each night. On the second day of school, I put up the other set of photos as a bulletin board (公布栏), with a title such as "Presenting Room 108, ..."
The kids loved it! After I had learned all of their names I brought the second set back to school and stuck them onto an 8 ×11 sheet of paper. I placed it in the classroom for other teachers.
The cardboard name cards that were made on the first day were collected and put on a shelf. From time to time, they were given back to the students and placed on their desks so that guests or supply teachers (代课老师) could identify all of the students.
I’ve been doing this with my grade 7 students for the last nine years and they liked it. It’s fun to bring the photos out again at the end of the school year to see how much they have all changed in ten months.

According to a study by Spectrem Group, 58% of millionaire pet owners have a dog. Only 37% own a cat. Only 3% keep fish, 2% birds and 2% have a horse. Similarly, 39% of U. S. households own a dog, compared to 33% of households owning a cat, released by the Humane Society.
Jennifer Cona, a trust and estates attorney(信托和资产律师) and partner with Genser Subow Genser & Cona in New York, does a lot of work on pet trusts. She said of all the pet trusts she’s worked on, 90% are for dogs and only 10% are for cats.
She said dogs provide one thing especially important for the wealthy: unconditional love.
“You don’t get that from a cat,” she said, “Dogs are like children for some families, except that they don’t mess up in college or run off with money. Sometimes it’s easy to see why dogs are the favorite children.”
Millionaires show their love for their dogs in part by their spending. One quarter of millionaire pet owners spend more than $1, 000 a year on their pets, the Spectrem study said, while more than half spend more than $500 a year.
Many would say those numbers are understated, given all the diamond-dog collars, dog foods and booming dog spas in evidence these days, not to mention the medical bills.
The survey showed 34% of pet owners spend money on decorating, while 6% spend on “sweaters, outfits and costumes.”
More than half of millionaire pet owners spend money on teeth cleaning for their pets. More than 16%, meanwhile, said they would spend money on reconstructive surgeries and “anti-anxiety, anti-depression” medication for their pets.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
| A．Millionaires like dogs more than other Americans. |
| B．Keeping dogs as pets is quite popular among Americans. |
| C．Pet dogs help relieve their owners’ anxiety and depression. |
| D．Millionaires spend much money on teeth cleaning for their pets. |
| A．about one third of American households own a cat |
| B．more than half of millionaire pet owners have a dog |
| C．millionaire pet owners spend $1, 000 on their pets daily |
| D．34% of pet owners spend money on dog clothing |
| A．They can afford the high expense to raise pet dogs. |
| B．Pet dogs have never made a mess of things around. |
| C．Millionaires feel more secure in company of dogs. |
| D．Pet dogs show unconditional love for their owners. |
| A．Ridiculous. | B．Acceptable. | C．Negative. | D．Indifferent. |
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I’m pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other. But he’ll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I’m confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That’s normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
Every day, the masterminds of Web 2.0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a walking stick. Some things shouldn’t be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.
小题1:According to Paragraph 1, the website is famous because .
| A．it has an interesting name of “Facebook” |
| B．it can send people a greeting of some kind |
| C．it helps people get in touch with old friends |
| D．it reminds people of events in the past |
| A．would write to the friend quite often |
| B．did get some information about the friend |
| C．asked the friend to e-mail him |
| D．would keep in touch with the friend forever |
| A．The author communicates with all the 35 friends by e-mails. |
| B．There are 35 people in the author’s list of friends right now. |
| C．The list of 35 friends doesn’t include the old e-mail addresses. |
| D．It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count. |
| A．The masterminds of Web 2.0 also sell walking sticks online. |
| B．Taking a walking stick is a new way of making friends online. |
| C．Convenience is dangerous for human communication. |
| D．Convenience is not really good for human communication. |
