问题 Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about the Internet and making use of it. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SECTION Ⅰ
   John McEnroe:
   I have been using the Internet since the late 80’s when the Internet was called ARPANET and this is the first year I actually did some Christmas shopping on the Internet. I could not find several items for my child’s Christmas gifts so I decided to look online. Normally when I shop in real stores I go in, find what I want and get out (my wife hates this because she wants to look at EVERYTHING). The Internet allows you to go shopping without any fuss or having to wait in line.
   John Starks:
   You never know if they are chatting with a kidnapping pervert, seeing pornography, downloading illegal files or viruses and other bad software. Of course I have Net Nanny installed on my child’s computer, it isn’t perfect but it is a good piece of software and with a little tweaking blocks 99.8% of harmful content. We do not allow our child to use Instant Messaging or other programs.
   Ibrahim Ba:
   There also several devious online advertisers that use software to force you to see what they want you to see, the software is often hidden in a download or "free" software. I wrote an article on this several months ago. It has some great information on how to protect yourself from these malicious media companies and how to find out if something is installed on your computer and what to do to get rid of it. If only congress would enact tough anti-spam laws and laws to protect the consumer from malicious media companies who install software on your computer and make changes to your property (computer) without your permission.
   Elena Piskun:
   The article goes on to say that the Internet is also causing us to sleep less (by 8.5 minutes) and that it reduces contact with family members by 23.5 minutes per day. The researchers acknowledged that they cannot answer the question of whether or not it strengthens or weakens social relationships. That’s been a burning question since the rise of the Internet, and many tons of paper was wasted in the mid and late nineties to print handwriting articles about how the Internet would probably turn us all into introverted, pale-faced geeks sitting in our basements in the dark night after night, hanging out in seedy chat rooms.
   Ivan Ivankov:
Ten years later, we’ve gone from a tiny number of people who had Internet access back then to 75% of the country—that’s the fastest diffusion of a new technology ever. We’re on to something here, and I believe it’s mostly for the good. We’re more aware of world events, better informed on local, national, and international issues, have more control over our time, and have all kinds of new business and work opportunities available to us.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
                       Statements
    [A] We can listen to music, watch movies, and read books online.
    [B] Viruses and malicious software that affect our home and business computers.
    [C] Parents often worry about their children being on the Internet unsupervised.
    [D] The Internet allows you shop from home without leaving your chair.
    [E] Whether or not the Internet is causing us to sleep less or it reduces contact with family members is inconclusive.
    [F] The Internet can provide consumer information on products you are thinking of buying.
    [G] The Internet can provide various information and opportunities for us.
