A
As for old people, some of the applications are hard to use because they didn't grow up with them. They don't have simple models of how they should work, what to do when something doesn't work or where to go for help. We make it as easy as possible to be used for people who are not familiar with the technology.
I think there is huge potential and we are designing it. The ability to connect to friends, who remember the same movies, news and music, is really important, especially as people get old. They end up in retirement at home and they aren't always close to their friends. Allowing the network to help them connect with friends and family is a really powerful thing.
My mother is an enthusiastic user of the Internet, although it took me years to get her to use e-mail. She was born with normal hearing, but lost it when she was 3. She was totally deaf for many years, until age 53, when she got ear aids. They work really well. That is a big change for her. But before then, her friends couldn't call her on the phone, so they suggested she use e-mail to communicate with them.
Young people don't even think of the Internet as technology. It's just there, and they use it. There's been a very interesting change in communication styles between old people and young people. There are some kids who are now in their teens and aren't willing to make phone calls. And they think e-mail is old-fashioned and slow.
The reason why teens don't make phone calls seems to be that they don't know what to say. When they call, they often stop for a while and there's a silence. On the other hand, texting is considered proper, and it's okay if you don't answer. You might have been distracted. It's not rude. But it is strange if you're in this kind of conversation and simply stop talking.
1. What is the trouble that old people meet when surfing the Internet
A. They don't know how to use some applications.
B. They have to buy electronic productions at a high price.
C. There is no professional teacher to teach them how to use the Internet.
D. They have no friends to communicate with online.
2. What do the young people think of the Internet according to the passage
A. Interesting. B. Amazing. C. Boring. D. Common.
3. We can infer from the passage that the author is a ____.
A. company manager B. program designer
C. college professor D. mobile phone seller
4. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean
A. You have replied the message.
B. You have walked away from the conversation.
C. You have been cut off.
D. You have asked for a pardon.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,are people remembering less If you know your computer will save information,why store it in your own personal memory,your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment,they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save it.Later,the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the computer.The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information.Rather,they remember how to find it.This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”.
According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead,computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is,people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date.This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
1.The passage begins with two questions to .
A.introduce the main topic

2.What can we learn about the first experiment

3.In transactive memory,people .
A.keep the information in mind
B.change the quantity of information
C.organize information like a computer
D.remember how to find the information
4.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research
A.We are using memory differently.
B.We are becoming more intelligent.

Social Media
Social media can be defined as web-based and mobile media that are used for people to interact, connect and communicate with each other. It often involves the creation and sharing of content that people make by themselves, mostly through the Internet.
1 The first type involves people getting together to work on a project, for example, Wikipedia. Blogs and micro-blogs (such as Twitter) are another type of social media. There are other websites like YouTube that allow people to share content such as pictures, articles or videos. 2 This site allows people to stay in touch with friends, make new ones and join communities. Facebook is an example of this type. Many people like to play games on the Internet and, yes, there are social media games as well. These games allow gamers to interact with each other and play with or against other gamers. 3 The final type of social media is websites like Second Life, where people can create avatars (化身), use and create objects, as if they were in the real world.
Social media is different from traditional media. With social media, many individual people create content.
Another difference is that people who produce content in social media don't need very special skills. 4 It takes only a few minutes to write a twitter post, for example. 5 But whatever you might think, social media is here to stay.
A. World of Warcraft is a good example.
B. And social media content can be produced much faster.
C. In general, there are six different types of social media.
D. Another type of social media is the social networking site.
E. Some people think social media is good and some think it is bad.
F. In traditional media, people need special skills to produce something.
G. Social media is one of the fastest growing industries in today's world.

Social Media
Social media can be defined as web-based and mobile media that are used for people to interact, connect and communicate with each other. It often involves the creation and sharing of content that people make by themselves, mostly through the Internet.
1 The first type involves people getting together to work on a project, for example, Wikipedia. Blogs and micro-blogs (such as Twitter) are another type of social media. There are other websites like YouTube that allow people to share content such as pictures, articles or videos. 2 This site allows people to stay in touch with friends, make new ones and join communities. Facebook is an example of this type. Many people like to play games on the Internet and, yes, there are social media games as well. These games allow gamers to interact with each other and play with or against other gamers. 3 The final type of social media is websites like Second Life, where people can create avatars (化身), use and create objects, as if they were in the real world.
Social media is different from traditional media. With social media, many individual people create content.
Another difference is that people who produce content in social media don't need very special skills. 4 It takes only a few minutes to write a twitter post, for example. 5 But whatever you might think, social media is here to stay.
A. World of Warcraft is a good example.
B. And social media content can be produced much faster.
