Helen Smith: What better way to start off my senior year in high school than by reading something I am entirely familiar wit

问题     Helen Smith:
    What better way to start off my senior year in high school than by reading something I am entirely familiar with? I couldn’t have described this online revolution any better. The expansion of Facebook and its continuing success make me more interested in the world of computers and web design and the career choices they offer. Thanks, Mark Zuckerberg, for "poking" me into Facebook.
    Kevin Stuart:
    Rather than seeing Facebook as the hottest connection tool, I think it’s more like the latest way to make an already impersonal world even more impersonal. How sad that our society is so isolated that we need a computer to "connect" with others. No, thanks! I’m going to continue hanging out on the street corner, and hope someone builds a village square someday—now, there’s a radical idea!
    Robert Meyer:
    Isn’t it a contradiction that so many Americans criticize the government measures for national security purposes as an invasion of privacy when many of these same people feel free to lay bare their private lives to public exposure on Facebook? Perhaps it reveals shallow minds or shallow lives. Or worse, does it reveal a lack of concern about the security of our country? Sad indeed.
    James Brown:
    I eagerly returned from vacation so I could see my nieces who were home from college, only to find them with their "faces" in Facebook almost all day. They no longer communicate much with others face to face. No more hanging out at someone’s home. I wonder what effect this societal isolation will have on all of us. I hope this isn’t a trend, I remember all the fun face-to-face con-tact used to be.
    Laura Lee:
    I love email. I live and die by Google, but I will never understand the appeal of Facebook and its vast community of friends. In fact, I’m rather shocked. There are thousands out there who would like to be your friend and demand your time: they’re called books. Pick one up. Life is short. Save your few real friendships for coffee over at Starbucks or invest yourself in a local cause that will form meaningful, lifelong relationships.
    Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
    Note: there are two extra statements.
                                               Statements
[A]Facebook has built up my confidence in my study.
[B]Facebook raises individual awareness of privacy protection.
[C] Facebook serves as an eve opener for my future work pursuit.
[D] Facebook worsens; instead of bettering, interpersonal relations.
[E]I miss the good old days when people met and talked to each other in person.
[F]Mind your own behavior online before you blame others for privacy interference.
[G] Don’t waste your time on Facebook when you can do something more significant.

选项
答案D
解析 主旨题。凯文·斯图尔特认为脸书使本就没有人情味的世界更加冷漠。令人感到悲哀的是，我们的社会如此的孤立以至于我们要靠计算机彼此“联系”。与D项的“脸书非但没有改善，反而更加恶化了人际关系”表示相同的意思。故选D。
