Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has 36 for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online. 37 you use chat rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are 38 of a virtual community (虚拟社区).
"I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, 39 I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox's Shadow, the online nickname (网名) used by a Senior 2 girl in China. "Eighty per cent of my classmates use QQ 40 school."
QQ is the biggest messaging 41 in China. A record shows 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October, 42 to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.
And Fox's Shadow might well have been one of them. "I log in (登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel 43 . I usually 44 about 10 hours chatting online every week," she said. "But I rarely talk with 45 , especially boys or men."
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making 46 with strangers online. "You don't know 47 you're talking to. You should 48 be careful about who you trust online."
Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to 49 someone very well. Fox's Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a comic fan like 50 and they went to a comic show together.
However, not all teenagers have been so 51 . At the beginning of this year, a 17-year-old girl in Liaoning Province was killed after meeting a friend she had found on QQ. The criminals (罪犯) weren't 52 until last month.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users. "I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking 53 ," he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. But he spends little time chatting as he sees it as a 54 of time and money. "If you are really 55 to it, sometimes you just can't concentrate (集中精神) in class," he said.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It 31 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can’t 32 why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those 33 situations in which someone doesn’t even 34 that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how many accidents happen. All these situations make me 35 about the purpose of traffic lights.
However, it’s even more 36 to imagine letting people make their own 37 at a crowded traffic crossing. Who decides who goes next? 38 I guess I do like the idea of a system to 39 traffic. And I also do my best to 40 the traffic signals: to go, to be 41 , and to stop when I’m supposed to.
It occurs to me that my 42 have done much the same for me in terms of 43 me how to live. They have given me many 44 lights: to live in harmony with others to help others, to live with 45 and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my 46 doesn’t goastray(走入歧途): to watch my temper, and to control my desires. And there have been some yellow lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, to 47 school regularly and work hard.
If I obey these signals, my life will be as 48 as it can. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking 49 the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the “life 50 ” given me by my parents.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
There are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 __36___ private languages since each one of us necessarily has one. __37___ these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number.

Man-made Causes
Man-made causes probably do the most damage. There are many man-made causes. 21 is one of the biggest man-made problems. Pollution 22 in many shapes and sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil(化石) fuels(燃料)are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. when fossil fuels are burned they 23 a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane(甲烷)is 24 in the ground. 25 coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well.
Another major man-made 26 of Global Warming is population. More people 27 more food, and more methods of transportation, right? That means more methane because 28 will be more burning of fossil fuels, 29 more agriculture. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait a minute, you said agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming, but 30 you’re saying agriculture is going to help cause Global Warming?” Well, have you 31 been in a barn filled with animals and you smell something 32 ? You re 33 methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem 34 the increasing population is 35 . More people means more cars, and more cares means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car.
Since CO2 contributes to global warming, the increase in population makes the problem worse because we breathe out CO2. 36 , the trees that change our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we’re using the land that we cut the trees down from as property 37 our homes and buildings. We are not replacing the trees(an important part of our ecosystem), so we are 38 taking 39 of our natural resources and giving nothing back in 40 .
