　　閱讀理解(共兩節,滿分40分)

　　(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)

　　Paula and her husband have four kids, three pet dogs, and a rabbit. When the house is very noisy, Helen, one of the children, is quietly inventing. A year ago, the 10-year-old had to design an anti-smoking poster for a school project. Rather than a poster, she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁) a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes.

　　“I like people to play with things more than read and write,” she says. So she researched her idea on the Internet, found a company in China that could make it, saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.

　　Paula says her daughter “thinks differently”: Ideas jump into her mind. After she got sunburnt on holiday, Helen invented a small plastic bracelet(手鐲) that changes color in the sun, telling you when to put on sunscreen. Several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea. She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty. “But we didn’t do anything with it,” says Paula.

　　Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod she has designed. “ There is a camera on the hook, ” she explains, “and the screen is on the handle，and it shows you if you’ve caught a fish or not. ”

　　Helen doesn’t want to go to university. She keeps her pink-and-cream bedroom tidy. Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter. “Everything has to be in a certain order,” Paula says. “Her brothers and sisters go with the flow, but with Helen, it’s ‘What time will that be happening?’ or ‘Where am I being picked up from today?’ ”

　　Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.

　　There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.

　　When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before.

　　Cyberspace(網絡空間) has given rise to a new social change where people make friends from across the world, but know little about their next-door neighbors. This worries critics (批評家), but some often find an Internet friendship more pleasant.

　　Take Bob for example. His neighbor doesn’t know anything about gardening, but his instant messaging friend Gr33nThum does. Besides, Gr33nThum doesn’t do that annoying sound when he talks.

　　Those people like Bob have long been criticized for their lack of necessary social skills. Critics think people almost forget how to naturally communicate with their neighbors, creating a social network of strangers.

　　However, a report entitled “The Strength of Internet Ties” provides a different opinion. Sociologists are suggesting that the Internet helps develop social networks and make use of them when it matters most.

　　Friends often move. As kids, our friends’ parents move away. As adults, we move away to college or for work. Communicative tools have made losing touch the result of laziness, not distance. “The larger and the more diverse(多樣)a person’s network, the more important e-mail is,” argues Jeffrey Boase, who co-authored the report. “You can’t make phone calls or personal visits to all your friends very often, but you can keep in touch with them regularly with the help of the Internet. That turns out to be very important.”

　　In addition to expanding and strengthening the social ties people keep in the offline world, Internet and e-mail provide a social and informational support group that helps people make difficult decisions and face challenges. “Internet use provides online users a path to resources, such as access to people who may have the right information to help deal with family health problems or find a new job,” says John Horrigan, author of the report.

　　“The Internet creates a new basis for community. Rather than relying on a single community for social support, people often must actively seek out a variety of appropriate people and resources for different situations,” says co-author Barry Wellman.

　　32. Critics think that making friends online _______.

　　A. exposes Internet users to danger.

　　B. leads to coldness between people

　　C. causes distrust between neighbors

　　D. results in the dying out of social skills

　　33. Jeffrey Boase argues that the Internet _______.

　　A. makes people lazier than before

　　B. is helpful in bringing neighbors together

　　C. is more important than the offline world

　　D. makes it easier for people to stay connected

　　34. According to John Horrigan, Internet users benefit a lot from social networks because _______.

　　A. they can get the latest information online

　　B. people in the online world are more reliable

　　C. there are many online jobs available for them

　　D. they are more likely to get help when in trouble

　　35. What would be the best title for the text?

　　A. The value of cyber friendship

　　B. The importance of friendship

　　C. The new way of communication

　　D. The development of the Internet
