A week into the stay-at-home order. I longed for connection. But not the kind available from a screen. Inside my wallet I found 10 stamps, and I put out a tweet: “Today I am going to write letters to send through the post. Direct message me your snail mail address if you want a random letter.”
On the first day, I wrote to strangers in Arizona, California, Missouri, New York, Texas and Washington. The next day, I wrote to an 11-year-old who was born in Plano, Texas, where I grew up. I wrote to a letter carrier from Minnesota who requested a letter for himself. The 10 stamps ran out quickly, so I restocked. By the time I’d finished sending a letter to anyone who requested one, I’d written over 50 letters to addresses in almost every state.
I am “very online”, so it’s obviously much easier to reach far more than one person at a time with a tweet. But the process of sitting down to compose a letter by hand, addressing an envelope and stamping it is filled with extra intention. It feels like a way to show an old-fashioned kind of caring, the kind that can travel the distance and be similar to a hug.
I wanted to be frank about signaling the letters came from a real human , and nothing automatic, so finding ways to personalize each one was key. When I ran out of my personal letter paper, I found my four-year-old daughter Isa’s doodles(涂鸦) in a notebook and wrote my letters on those pages.
I never expected replies. The satisfaction for me was in writing to people and knowing they’d receive something rare. But the replies ended up being the best part. I received dozens of handwritten replies. People wrote to me about how they were spending their time. A lot of letters included wishes for what comes out of this crisis. The one consistent hope was that the attention we’re paying to each other can continue in the next phase of our living history.
19. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. The author had long-standing friends all over America.
B. The author selected a stranger in each state to receive a letter.
C. The author’s act of sending handwritten letters was well-received.
D. The author’s attempts to write to everyone asking for a letter were in vain.
20. How does the author feel about snail mail?
A. It enjoys popularity among close friends. B. It gives people a sense of closeness.
C. It is really old-fashioned. D. It is relatively inefficient.
21. What was the best part of writing letters to strangers according to the author?
A. Receiving constant attention from strangers. B. Getting answers from the recipients.
C.Supporting each other during the crisis. D. Writing all the letters by hand.
 C
A few months ago, Jason asked his parents to buy him a computer. All his friends already had one, so his mom and dad agreed. During the first few weeks, Jason spent a lot of time in front of his computer because he had to learn how it worked. He was really interested in learning all about it and he even started writing computer programs himself.
One day Jason found a website where he could play chess either against the computer or against other people from all over the world. From then on, Jason seemed to have just one interest in life, his computer. Whenever his parents told him that he was spending too much time with his computer, Jason went into denial. He did not think that he had a problem at all.
Then the unthinkable happened：Jason's computer broke down. But his parents decided not to buy him a new one. Jason said that he needed a computer for school, and he promised that he'd spend less time with it. But his parents refused to give in. Finally, Jason felt so hopeless that he took the only way out and killed himself.
Robert Johnson, a psychologist (心理学家) on the subject, says, "Computer addiction is an illness that can influence anyone of us. Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are spending more and more time working with computers. While this isn't a problem for most users, some people, especially teenagers, often use the computer to get away from the real world. This is especially true of shy people. For them, meeting people online is a way of hiding their true selves. In cyberspace (网络空间), they can be whoever they want to be and create their own virtual (虚拟的) world. But what happens when they can no longer enter their virtual world? "
22. Why did Jason want to buy a computer according to Paragraph 1?
A. To play chess. B. To make friends
C. To avoid being an outsider(外人). D. To write computer programs.
23. By saying "Jason went into denial", the author means________.
A. Jason enjoyed himself B. Jason would not listen
C. Jason would turn it off D. Jason changed his mind
24. What was Jason's relationship with his parents like when his computer broke down?
A. Fine B. Terrible C. So so. D. Unknown.
25. In Robert Johnson's opinion, ________.
A. it is impossible to beat computer addiction B. teenagers should stay away from computers
C. shy people get addicted to computers easily D. computers are getting us into serious trouble
