     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 walltowall,let alone email 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,coworkers from past and  present,and
friends of friends.There are 35 in all.If I spent some time uploading old email 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
onscreen 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 email,the inability to schedule facetoface meetings no longer means a  friendship must come
to a close.But even with email,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.

     Jim Carrey is one of the most recognized faces in the world-and certainly because of his rubbery face.
     Born in Ontario, Canada on January 17th, 1962 to a poor family, young Jim Carrey led a tough life, yet
one good thing came out of it. He developed a great sense of humor to cope with life. At 15, he started
performing at a Toronto comedy club. Later he moved to LA and soon came to the attention of Rodney and
went on his tour.
     Jim Carrey got his big break in 1990 0n the comedy show In Living Color. There Carrey perfected many
characters, most widely-known one "Fire Marshal Bill", who always went up in flames. The show stopped
when critics claimed that it encouraged kids to play with fire. This argument put Carrey's name in the headlines
for the first time.
     He broke into feature films in one single successful year, 1994, making it the Year of the Funny Face.
First there was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a surprise hit showing Carrey's wacky (古怪) style. Next came
TheMask, tailor-made for him and a hit with audiences. There was still Dumb and Dumber, which ended up
on top of the box office.
     Carrey has slowed down, but his films have continued to make waves if not quite of the previous quality.
There was Barman Forever, then a sequel to Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, which didn't quite retake the
sparkle (光彩) of the earlier one: Next came Liar, Liar, a terrific success everywhere, putting him back on
top. Then came The Truman Show, a film which proved Jim Carrey was more than just a funny face. Snubbed
(冷落) by the Oscars, he was clearly considered golden by the fans.
1. All of the following films are considered of excellent quality EXCEPT _____.
[     ]
A. Liar, Liar
B. Dumb and Dumber
C. The Truman Show
D. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
2. Which of the following statements about Jim Carrey is TRUE?
[     ]
A. He has achieved his fame completely due to his face.
B. His hard early life helped develop his style of humor.
C. He received universal praises for his part in In Living Color.
D. Not many people like his performing style.
3. The underline word"sequel" in Paragrah 5 probably refers to _____.
[     ]
A. an adapted film of the original
B. a film that continues a story
C. a comedy show of a strange style
D. a comment on a funny film
4. What can be the best title of the passage?
[     ]
A. Jim Carrey-More Than a Funny Face
B. Jim Carrey-Famous "Fire Marshal Bill"
C. Jim Carrey's Great Films
D. Jim Carrey's Acting Career

                                                                         Hunting
     The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to
kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals
which still survive.
     Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely out earliest forefathers,
who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often
hunted by meat-eating animals.
     I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in
overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the
important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside.
There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design;
these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of
a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high
opinion of yourself.
     The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives (動機). One
of them wrote.
     "You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's own territory (領(lǐng)
地).You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him
grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other
animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing-not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to
enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people."
     I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears
(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in
which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained
elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
1. There is no more hunting in India now partly because _____.
A. it is dangerous to hunt there
B. hunting is already out of date
C. hunters want to protect animals
D. there are few animals left to hunt
2. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly _____.
A. to make the countryside safe
B. to earn people's admiration
C. to gain power and influence
D. to improve their health
3. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A. They hunt old animals
B. They mistreat animals
C. They hunt for food
D. They hunt for money
4. What is the author's view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face
B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons
C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers
D. Modern hunters should put their safety first
