A

Einstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory
of Relativity.
Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he
had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again
and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble
with you is that you don’t know your figures.”
Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood
his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to
explain it.
He had nothing but contempt(蔑视) for the things most people set their
hearts on --- for fame and riches(财富) and luxury(奢华).
He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such
simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s
violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often
thought in music.

Your friends might be in Australia or may be just down the road, but
they are all just a few clicks(点击) 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 grand- parents, 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 recorder from Ten cent,
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(登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturdays when I feel everything around
me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting on-line every week,” she
said. “But I never 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’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 uses. “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.” 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 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.”
55. 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
56. Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is ______.
A. the biggest messaging service in China
B. a good place to spend her time when bored
C. a safe place to chat with strangers
D. the best place to make friends
57. From the passage, we know “they are all just a few clicks away” means
“ ______”.
A. it is wonderful to see your friends by clicking
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
58. Which of the following sentence is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.
B. Chatting online is a waste of time and money.
