I'm really nervous opening Chatroulette （a website）．I don't know if I'm more scared of the possibility of coming face-to-face with a naked （裸体的） guy doing improper things, or the possibility of having to speak to someone normal．But it's that uncertainty that's caused the "game" to explode into an Internet phenomenon．
So, I hesitantly click "play"．My face appears in a small box to the left of the screen．I'm a 22-year-old guy, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and sitting in my warmly lit bedroom —not too threatening, I think．Believing I look welcoming and friendly, I open all features: visual, audio and text．The user can disable these at any time if they feel uncomfortable．
Quickly I find myself face-to-face with my first "partner"．A guy with glasses is staring back at me．He looks like he spends too much time in front of the computer．"Hey", I say, "how are you going?" "Good," says the guy．Sensing that he was not going to be very talkative, I hit the "next" button．
Just like that, I'm thrown across the world into someone else's bedroom．This time it looks like a middle-aged woman．I must have hit gold because 85 percent of Chatroulette users are male, according to the Wall Street Journal．She's wearing sunglasses and smiles back．Before I can even say a word, she "nexts" me．"WHAT?!"
Then, I fly through the Internet and arrive at my next partner．My nightmare, a man is sitting in his computer chair half-naked taking off his pants．Argghh! "Next, next, next!" For the next 30 minutes I keep my cursor （光标） over the "next" button．My experiences continue to be short, shocking, and largely uninteresting．I discouragingly hit "next" after seeing another naked man, and decide to end my session and close the window．This wasn't "the new social media experience" I was hoping for．Maybe it was just a little bit too random （随机的）．
64．It is the author's __________ that leads him into Chatroulette．
A．curiosity          B．unwillingness    C．enthusiasm          D．ignorance
65．The underlined word "disable" in Paragraph 2 means __________．
A．store                  B．close                C．misuse                D．copy
66．Among all the partners, __________ seemed to be the least interested in talking with the author.
A．the guy with glasses                      B．the middle-aged woman
C．the man in his computer chair            D．the last man mentioned
67．What is the author's attitude toward Charoulette?
A．Positive．           B．Supportive．       C．Objective．         D．Negative．

“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation．

The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the news of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same．I think there will be more news of scientific research, though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic（基因） engineering．In the future, I think there will be more reports of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are．

It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted（传送） electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc．

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media（媒体）．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．

67．What is the best title for the passage?

       A．The Best Way to Get News

       B．The Changes of Media

       C．Make Your Own Newspaper

       D．The Future of Newspaper

68．In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______．

       A．more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

       B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer

       C．newspapers will report more scientific research

       D．more and more people will watch TV

69．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

       A．Sports and international news．

       B．A menu of important news．

       C．The most important news．

       D．What you are interested in．

70．From the passage, we can infer _______．

       A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media

       B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media

       C．television will take the place of newspaper

       D．the writer believe some media will die out
