Think about how many ways there are for you to communicate today.You can send a letter or pick up the phone and make a call.But today,one of the most popular ways to communicate is called instant messaging(IM).In any instant messaging system,you type a little text message on your computer,press the “Send” button,and your message instantly shows up on your friend's screen.But how does it work?
Actually,the whole process is very cool.In the 1980s,you could sit down at a computer at any big university.Up to 100 people would be logged in and share the computer because these computers were very expensive.You could type a command to send an instant message to anyone logged in the same computer.It felt like everyone was connected together no matter where they were sitting.
Today,you can communicate with anyone in the world.All you need is an instant messaging program installed on your computer.There are many programs to choose from.AOL's instant messenger is probably the most popular right now.MSN has one.Google has Google Talk.
When you're ready,you create an account.Next,you need to figure out the IM names your friends use.Add their IM names to your IM program.Click on the friend you want to talk to and then type away.When you click “Send”,your friend gets the message instantly.
But behind the scenes,amazing things are happening.Your IM program is communicating with a computer,called a server,which could be just down the road or even in some other city.All your friends' computers are communicating with a server,too.Your computer is constantly chatting with it to make everything happen.The network called the Internet makes it all possible.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals.
A survey conducted recently by sina. com. showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out”. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).
The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China’s economy. In my point view, Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners’ pockets are filled, the public’s hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.
The crisis of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. “The country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food”.
But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.
Foreign festivals in China are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people’s economic status.
1.From the survey we know that among the people surveyed ______.
A.most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous
B.many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon
C.some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing
D.half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion
2.The writer thinks that foreign festivals celebrated in China ______.
A.have lost their religious background
B.are the same as those celebrated in the West
C.can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals
D.may reduce the hunger of public people
3.What is the main difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones?
A.Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners’ pockets full quickly.
B.The food at foreign festivals is too simple.
C.Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture.
D.Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality.
4.Which of the following may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals?
A.People can relax themselves.
B.People can show their thanks to others.
C.Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones.
D.People have known more about the western culture.
