3．解题技巧
(1)仔细辨认对话中的语境相关词，特别是场景词汇及习惯用语。
(2)注意对话中的肯定与否定回答。例如，常见的肯定回答：Yes/Absolutely/I agree with you等；

As I enter my 40s, I've noticed many of my parents' generation think social networking is something they are simply unable to understand. They fear that, should they try, they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment. But there are some secrets of social media for them to consider.
Here's the first secret: everyone feels this way. I recently met a young actor who was complaining that her work demands that she start a social media account, but she always feels like she doesn't have anything smart to say. It's the same resistance (抵制). I hear from the older generation, who, however, have somehow believed that age is the barrier (障碍), rather than the differences of personal taste.
Here's the second secret: everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons. Older generation often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives. We talk about this kind of communication like it's some old-fashioned activity, but it is exactly why younger people use social media. The truth is that most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another, to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night.
And this is the last secret: everyone gets to use them in their own way. Newcomers — younger and older — who worry about “getting it right” are thinking that there's a right way to get them. But actually there isn't. Personally, I talk a lot on social media. And some people post nothing and they use social media every day as readers. Social media companies would rather see people decorating their networks with pictures and posts, but there's no rule against being a fly on the wall. It's also a fine way to get involved.
We're quick to forget that the web wasn't invented by 13-year-olds; it was created by today's seniors. I'd never try forcing those with no interest in social networks to use social media. But don't let the talk of age divides put you off. There's nothing to stop the older generation from joining in the network their own generation created.

As I enter my 40s, I've noticed many of my parents' generation think social networking is something they are simply unable to understand.
