Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.

  Twenty years ago, kids in school had never even heard of the Internet. Now, I'll bet you can't find a 1 person in your school who hasn't 2 heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a regular basis and can even use it at 3 . The "net" in Internet really stands for network. A network is two or more computers 4 together so that information can be 5 or sent from one computer to 6 . The Internet is a vast 7 for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do 8 for a school project, downloading your favorite songs or 9 with friends and family. Information can be found 10 web pages that companies, organizations, and individuals (个人) create. It's like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses! But since anyone can put 11 on the Internet, you also have to be careful and use your best 12 and a little common sense.

  Just 13 you read something on a piece of paper someone puts on a bulletin board doesn't mean that it's good information, or even correct, for that matter. You have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they're talking about, 14 if you're doing research! But what if you're just e-mailing people? You still have to be very 15 if you've never met the person that you're communicating with online. You could be doing something 16 ! You should never give out any 17 information to someone you don't know, not even your name! And just like you can't 18 the information on every website out there. You can't 19 on what strangers you "meet" on the Internet tell you either. In the same way that you could 20 things about yourself to tell someone, as someone else could do the same to you!

When I was a young student, a Chinese teacher told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.”   36   tells us that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily   37 . It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for   38  friendship to   39 .

However, there can be   40  disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our   41   the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or   42   at arm’s length? Do we want to   43  ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are   44  enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to   45   that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of   46  experience   47  our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it   48  be undertaken(进行)slowly and carried on only if there are   49  of interest and action in return.

What are some of the   50  of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships   51  time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships   52  actions in return. In   53  words, you must give as much as you take.

Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend   54  time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die   55 .?
