(一)  Online Friends and Love

  In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. 71 Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love. Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. 72 So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star. Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies and it makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to cha about their interests? 73   They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.

  Supporter of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way. But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? 74  Internet users can carefully make their words fit whatever image they want to give. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. 75  With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks”. This leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”

A.    When we talk with others on the line, we can express ourselves freely.

B.     But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.

C.     People ask for information, play games and share hobby tips.

D.    Generally speaking, online friends and love are worth seeking for.

E.     Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them.

F.      Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type— are what really count.

G.    But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship.

How do you improve your spelling? 36 Just as we learn spoken language by hearing lots of people speaking, we learn written language, including spelling, by reading what a lot of people write. Spelling is not about how a word sound, it’s about how it looks on the page, which means you have to look at a lot of words on the page to learn the correct spelling about it.

   Make a list of your commonly misspelled words.37  When you get a chance, look it up and put the correct spelling next to it.

38 . If you look it up more than once, add it to your personal list.

     Write! Write! Write! 39  When you look it up how to spell a word, write it down several times in a row and do it again a day or two later  40  Write a blog, a journal, e-mails, a novel, anything that will keep you using words and pay special attention as you write to the words that come up wrong.

A.    There is no substitute(代替) for reading a lot.

B.     Put a mark next to every word you look up in the dictionary.

C.     Those of us who spell well have a hard time explaining it, too.

D.    Let others read your writings, and ask them to circle misspelled words.

E.     You’re trying to build up the motor memory of writing it correctly spelled.

F.      The only way to really learn a word is to use it, and that counts for spelling as much as for learning its meaning.

G.    When you catch yourself spelling the same word wrong over and over, write it down somewhere.

　Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored （水果味道的） contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission．
　　 "Shoppers need to check the labels（标签）before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent," said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove．"Food production is highly competitive．___71 __ It will increase profits, and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked."
　　Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors．Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores．  72   Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit．In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar．
　　    73    Let's take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.
　　74    Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought．Under current UK law. Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. "Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of stawberries is misleading.   75  Unfortunatcly, it is also legal and widespread," Tokelove said.
　　A．The products which contain real fruit are popular with people．
　　B．Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit．
　　C．They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all．
　　D．If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so．
　　E．It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products．
　　F．Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all．
　　G．The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
