　　Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school．When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice easy holiday without any language problem．But how wrong I was!

　　At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny I had arrived．A worker asked if he could help me．“Yes,” I said,“I want to give my friend a ring．”“Well, that’s nice．Are you getting married?” he asked．”No,” I replied．” I just want to tell her on the phone I have arrived．”“Oh,” he said, “ there is a phone downstairs on the first floor．”“But we’re on the first floor now,” I said．”Well, I don't know what you are talking about．Maybe you aren’t feeling well after your journey．”He said．”You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better．”And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was：at home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean．How can I wash up at an airport?

　　At last we did meet．She explained the misunderstanding．Americans say “ to give someone a call,” but we English say “to give somebody a ring”．When we say “ to wash your hands”, they say “to wash up”．And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor, so the first floor is the second for Americans．

Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks （點擊）away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.

“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ, ”said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school. ”

QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.

And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in （登陸）on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting （聊天）online every week, ”she said. “But I never talk with stranger, especially boys or men. ”

Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with stranger online. “You don’t know who you’re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online. ”

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

A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things, ”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（文化）. ”But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money. 

“If you are really addicted to （上癮）it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons, ”he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online. ”   

1. People meet face to face offline when they think they ________.   

A. have known each other well　　   B. have the same interest　　

C. have enough free time　　　　    D. have nothing to do   

2. Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is ________.　　 

A. the biggest messaging service in China　　  B. a good place to spend her boring time　　  C. a safe place to chat with strangers　　　　　　 D. the best place to make friends

B. it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friends　　 

C. it is possible to live much closer to your friends　　 

D. it is popular to make friends online

根據短文內容回答下列問題。

　　Nearly every parent says that we never grow up．In fact, maybe we are 16 or 17 years old．In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things．For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them．

　　Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world．They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike．They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children．In return, they only want their little boy to give them good results in the examinations．

　　But why can’t their little babies still understand them? Why? Does it mean that they still want more material(物質的)things? No．As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family．What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world．From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness．And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family．

　　So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more．Then, no boy will be regarded as a little boy．

1．What are we always like in our parents’ eyes?

___________________________

2．What do parents expect of us when they give us so much?

___________________________

3．Do children want a true family? What does a true family mean?

___________________________

4．How can parents no longer regard us as little children?

___________________________

5．Discuss in groups if your family is a true family．
