29、黑。AWhat can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money youll earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on
30、ones earning potential shouldnt come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others
31、in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits,” said Xu.
32、 She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary.”Maybe thats why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症)? A woman even complained that the networking website Facebooks 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.But wh
33、at does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?“Call me uncool (土里土气的), but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of friend”, said Meghan Daum, who
34、 works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.Daum dislikes the idea that quantity is better than quality in the age of friendaholism. She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really-friends as possible. For exam
35、ple, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you dont actually know. Although she agreed that social ties grease(润滑)the wheels of life, she also warned. “Too bad one thing money cant buy is a real friend
36、.”56. What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?A. They can help you with your schoolwork.B. They teach you how to make more money. C. They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer you up.D. They introduce their friends to you.57. What will be needed if you are to achieve success according to th
37、e researchers?A. Social skills, friends, good mood and fortune.B. Social skills, networking, talent and hard work.C. Social skills, networking, potential and fortune.D. Social skills, talent, hard work and the facebook.58. We learn that Meghan Daums attitude towards friends is somewhat _.A. up-to-da
38、te B. optimistic C. confused D. traditionalBPeople are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook(社交网站) with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing theyre paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want t
39、o send targeted messages.Most Facebook users dont realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what theyre paying for Facebook because people dont really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps
40、changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebookyou could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many thingsyour city, your photo, your friends nameswere set, by default (默认), to be shar
41、ed with every one on the Internet.According to Facebooks vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people dont share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more mone
42、y. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages, totally flopped(惨败). Who wants to look at ads when theyre online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Sch
43、umer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use
44、them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, its only the beginning, which is why Im considering deactivating (撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but Im upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I dont trust. Thats too hig
45、h a price to pay. 59. About Facebook, the first paragraph tells us that _. A. it is a website that sends messages to targeted usersB. it makes money by putting on advertisementsC. it profits by selling its users personal dataD. it provides loads of information to its users60.
