Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media website has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn’t seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all.
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.
【小題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
【小題2】From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer       .
A．would write to the friend quite often
B．did get some information about the friend
C．a(chǎn)sked the friend to e-mail him
D．would keep in touch with the friend forever
【小題3】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
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.

C

Have you noticed that the majority of human beings seem to focus on the negative? Bad news is often seen in the newspapers, television shows and magazines, but good news are often overlooked.

I saw a woman I was not very familiar with. She is a beautiful woman; every time I see her, I am struck by the smile on her face that can light up a whole room. So at one time I walked up to her and said, “You know, you are like liquid sunshine! Every time I see you, you give me so much joy.” I was not quite prepared for her reaction. She was blown away. Her eyes seemed about to shed tears, and she said, “That is so sweet! That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!” It was as if nobody had ever told her how beautiful her appearance was. I was extremely moved by the moment I had shared with this woman.

Why not take notice of the positive and spread a little sunshine? When you are looking for beauty, you will begin to see it more and more. When you discover it, don’t be afraid to appreciate it. Not only will it make them feel good, it will make you feel good as well. I truly believe the saying, “What goes around, comes around.” When you show kindness and sincerity, you will receive it back. You may even discover — much to your surprise — that you become the friend of someone you would never have expected to get along with.

65. The woman had tears in her eyes because __________.

A. the man’s behavior was so rude

B. she was nervous about the man’s words

C. the man told her the fact she didn’t know

D. she was so excited at the man’s praise

66. Which of the following can take the place of the underlined sentence in the third paragraph?

A. The wise appreciate one another. 

B. Respect yourself, or no one else will respect you.

C. There is kindness to be found everywhere.

D. Everybody should learn to praise others.

67. The best title for the passage probably is _____.

A. Pay attention to the positive   B. Everyone likes to be praised

C. Spread a little sunshine       D. Each of us has good points
