Your friend might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but those are all just a few clicks away．Life has changed for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online．Whether you use chat room, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are part of virtual community.

“I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online nickname used by a Senior 2 girl in China．“Eight percent of my classmates use QQ after school.”

QQ is the biggest messaging service in China．A record 4 million people use it one Saturday night in October, according to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.

And Fox’s Shadow might well have been one of them．“I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel bored．I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week,” she said．“But I rarely talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”
   Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online．“You don’t know who you are talking to．You should always be careful about who you trust online.”

Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have to know someone very well．Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friend face to face．It was a girl who was a comic fan like herself and they went to a comic show together.

However, not all teenagers have been so fortunate．At the beginning of this year, a 17-year-old girl in Liaoning Province was raped after meeting a friend she had found on QQ.

A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users．“I used to chat on QQ．But I found that most people were talking nonsense.” He said．Now he chats online in English, using MSN．“I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said., “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting as he sees it as a waste of time and money.

“If you are really addicted to it sometimes you just can’t concentrate in class,” he said．“And the friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”

65．How many messaging services have been mentioned in the passage?

       A．2                 B．3                     C．4                   D．5

66．What’s the meaning of the phrase “l(fā)og in” in the fourth paragraph?

From school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get where you want to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked. The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged. Zipping (迅速行進(jìn)) around the neighborhood has never been better.

Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. There are two sets of metal electrodes (電極) inside the water tank. Water contains ions (離子) that carry negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.

Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the l,000-mile-an-hour barrier. (The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its original push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour. In order to keep the car streamlined (流線型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle (角度).

You’re having a blast at your friend’s birthday party. But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around, blocking your view. No worries. Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera captures the view from above. The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise. That's one smart camera.

What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?

A. They don't need batteries.      B. They are difficult to operate.

C. They can be powered by water. D. They are environmentally friendly.

According to the passage, the Venturi Eclectic      .

A. is popular with businessmen     B. is suitable for a long trip

C. can turn wind into energy D. has only a little gas emission

The underlined phrase “having a blast” in the last paragraph probably means      .

A. looking at a picture          B. enjoying yourself

C. blowing out a candle D. recording sounds

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Triops is sensitive to sounds.

B. The driver of the SSC must be of great size.

C. The color of the Bedol Water-powered Clock is like that of lemon.

D. The SSC doesn’t have anything to do with a rocket actually.

We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them.

The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant.
