There are so many people who write to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.

“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.

There are people who wish to remain anonymous for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.

Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say.

1. What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?

A. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say

B. Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.

C. Writers should be responsible for their names.

D.. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.

2.Some people don’t want their names known because they are ________.

A. hesitant to make a donation

B. afraid of an accusation

C. unwilling to draw public attention

D. ready for involvement

3.The passage is mainly about _______.

A. honor and writers

B. identity and signature

C. anonymity and signature

D. signature and responsibility

It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.

Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.

Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again.

This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.

1.According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?

A. Over 400 friends in their whole lives

B. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stage

C. 400 internet friends in their whole lives

D. 150 internet friends at a certain stage.

2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A. There is a rule about making friends

B. People with different views can become friends

C. Friendships mean different things to different people

D. Some people would die for their friends if they need to

3.We can learn from the text that most of us_________.

A. need to be with others

B. build friendships late in life

C. are dissatisfied with our friends

D. are frightened to talk to people

4.What is the author’s attitude towards talking to a stranger?

A. Uninterested B. Cautious C. Doubtful D. Positive
