题文

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(交流，沟通) the days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand becau the words em to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals(个人，个体) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks. Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. A recent rearch study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why? In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立)us and caud us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. about 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!小题1:The underlined phra “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people ________.A．stick to their own ways no matter what other people sayB．have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interestC．do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other peopleD．are able to keep to themlves but at the same time reach out to other people小题2:According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?A．NetworksB．FriendsC．PhonesD．Parents.小题3:It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.A．people have been parated from each other by using computersB．the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonelyC．the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communicationD．a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing小题4:Which would be the best title for this passage?A．We’re Alone on the Internet.B．We’re Communicating on the Internet.C．We’re Alone Together on the Internet.
