四、阅读理解
阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents' worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.
For teenagers, it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after-school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
"MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don't have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace," said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace. "Every time we hold a parents' meeting, the first question is always about MySpace," said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研讨会).The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
"Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It's like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children," Buchanan said.
(1)From the passage, we can learn that MySpace .
A.brings about the generation gap
B.is very careful about people's privacy
C.encourages you to list your personal information
D.lists the telephone numbers of your friends
(2)Why are some parents against MySpace
A.Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.
B.Because they don't want to pay so much money for MySpace.
C.Because it takes up too much of their children's spare time.
D.Because troublemakers can easily reach their children through the site.
(3)What can we infer from "Every time we hold a parents' meeting, the first question is always about MySpace"
A.MySpace has become a top problem troubling parents.
B.MySpace often holds parents meetings.
C.MySpace is quite popular with parents.
D.Parents have lots of questions about the website.
五、任务型阅读

Online social network——is a website that brings people together to talk,
share ideas and interests, or make new friends.
Jan Tchamani, an English teacher in Birmingham, UK, suddenly developed a serious illness and had to quit her job. At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company. After a while, she discovered that surfing the Internet could help her feel less lonely and bored. She could listen to music, watch films, play games, and explore the world. She also joined an online group where she could talk about her problems and get support and advice from others. She realised that one of the greatest benefits of the Internet was its ability to remove the distance that usually exists between people.
Reading
She was so inspired by the people she met online that she decided to start an IT club to teach older people how to use computers and the Internet. She and her friends now organise events and collect money to pay for private teachers. Many people have been helped by the club. A 59-year-old man learnt how to apply for work online and found a great job. Now that he works and can take care of himself, his daughter has time to study at university. A 61-year-old woman who was Living alone has started a small online company together with two friends. She no longer feels lonely, and her company has become quite successful.
