§1. I use the Internet daily, both at work and in my free time. I have
several favourite websites and I also write lots of emails. However, there
are a number of things about it that worry me. One of them is how it has
affected the way people maintain their friendships these days.
§2. I’m frequently getting invited to join this or that social networking site and I have a look at friends’ profiles from time to time, but frankly speaking, the whole thing just upsets me. To begin with, there’s too
much information there. Why should I care which online group some
distant friend has joined? Or who has become ’friends’ with who? And
what does ‘friend’ mean in cyberspace anyway? I know one guy who is
scared of face-to-face conversations, yet he has over 500 online ‘friends’.
I should add, though, that one of them is his mum! It’s not right. If you
ask me, people only want you to join these sites to make them look even
more popular! It’s just an ego trip.
§3. Added to this is the fact that I believe in privacy, I don’t want
every aspect of my private life stuck on the Web for everyone to see. I’ve
seen photos on some networking sites that would give those girls’ parents
heat attack if they ever came across them! Besides, I’m uneasy about the
way in which all the private information these sites collect could be used
in the future.
§4. Then, of course, there are sites that help you track down people
you went to school with. Hasn’t anyone realized that there’s a reason why
people lose touch? People drift apart because they don’t have enough in
common to make it worth staying in contact! I don’t know about you,
but personally I don’t miss anyone from my old class. I don’t see why
I should get back in touch with someone I last saw twenty years ago,
when I could go out and make new friends. At least they would be in the
same city as me, rather than still living in the town where I grew up!
423
§5. Now, you might think I’m a little bit old-fashioned, but I already
have the mobile numbers and email addresses of my closest friends. I
don’t need to go through a third-party site to contact them all or to arrange when to go out. I know this might shock you, but I actually like
talking to my friends and yes, really talking, not ‘chatting’ or ‘Instant
Messaging’! I like the sound of other humans – and I’d meet people in
the real world rather than in cyberspace!
46. Which sentence best describes how the author feels about the Internet.
a. He can’t stand it.
b. He’s got mixed feelings about it.
c. He’s got serious doubts about it.
47. In author’s opinion, why do some people have so many online
friends?
a. It helps them feel more important.
b. They must be really popular.
c. Communicating online is better than talking face-to-face.
48. He doesn’t want to see his former classmates again because…
a. they might be different now from when they last met.
b. it’s too much effort to find out where they are now.
c. he feels they wouldn’t have much to talk about.
49. The author thinks he may shock some people because …
a. he’s very talkative.
b. he doesn’t use the Web to organize his social life.
c. he doesn’t know how to send text messages.

A Grant Owades
This was my first experience of Thai cuisine and it certainly won’t be
my last. It was a small, welcoming restaurant where all the meals were
made according to traditional recipes in the family kitchen that formed
part of the house where they lived. The food was great, quite hot but not
too spicy, and what I liked most about it was the way everything had its
own distinctive taste. It was so good that I ate an enormous amount, and
really I should have stopped after I’d eaten the Tom Yum, but I couldn’t
424
resist having a huge dessert, too. That was a mistake because afterwards
I felt a bit too full. Though any discomfort soon passed when I saw the
bill, which was far lower than I’d expected.
B Justin Miller
I come from a small village and I’d never been to a fast-food restaurant before. The place looked clean and the staff were smartly dressed,
and after I’d ordered and received my meal on a tray I paid the bill,
which seemed quite reasonable. I can’t say the French fries and chicken nuggets were particularly tasty, though, and they must have left the
apple pie in the microwave too long because it burnt my tongue, but
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tomato juice. I thought
the background music was well chosen, and I liked the fact I wasn’t the
only person eating by myself.
C Terrisha Whyte
I was staying in a hotel and I thought I’d try the restaurant there.
There was a queue, which was a little annoying, and when I sat down
I was aware I was the only person at a table for one, and the thought that
people were looking at me was making me nervous. I ordered the best
items on the menu, food I’d always wanted to try, and soon forgot about
the other people eating there. I was running up a massive bill, which was
exactly what I’d told myself I wouldn’t do, but I didn’t care. I insisted
on having everything done just the way I liked it, asking the waitress to
replace some vegetables that were overcooked and a drink that wasn’t
quite cool enough, but when I’d finished, I gave her one of the most
generous tips she’d ever had.
D Chris Ables
The restaurant was recommended in the guide-book, and although
my friends and I had booked a table beforehand, when we arrived the
head waiter apologized but said he couldn’t seat us immediately. That
actually suited me, as it gave me time to make a couple of phone calls,
and when we finally sat down, I felt quite relaxed. The soup was excellent, and when the waiters started bringing delicious-looking main
courses for the others, I was really looking forward to mine. Until I saw
what was on my plate. It didn’t look properly cooked and I didn’t feel
hungry any longer. I felt like sending it back but the waiters were very
busy and I didn’t want to put them to any trouble. Now I think I should
have done, as I didn’t enjoy it at all.

52. admired the appearance of the employees?
53. enjoyed eating home cooking?
54. suddenly lost their appetite?
425
55. sent back part of their meal?
56. enjoyed a drink more than they had expected?

66. There has always been much debate about how reliable the news
is. There is a lot of pressure on reporters to be the first to get a story. Unfortunately, sometimes editors are so keen on to broadcast the news that
they do not check all the facts enough carefully and mistakes are made.
67. For some TV channels, it is more important to get high ratings
than to report serious news. In fact, new media technology is actually
making it more difficult to know what there is really going on. In the
digital age, it is more easier than ever to publish false information, which
is quickly shared and taken to be true – as we often see in emergency
situations, when news is breaking in real time.
