Look for Friendship in Cyberspace In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love. Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace, so even the shyest person can become a chat-room star. Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas them selves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love That answer depends on whom you ask. Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way. But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen. \ Some support online relationships while others criticize online relationships.

(55) the people in Washington work for the government. About 9:30 we went to the White House. It’s (56) to the public from 10 till 12, and there was a long line of people waiting to gel in.

What Makes a Soccer Player Great Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, hut there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way-was it through training and practice, or are great players "born, not made" First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six. countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe. There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four. Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood-a poor, crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beetles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast. All great players have a lot in common, hut that doesn’t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others. The author mentions all the factors that may affect a soccer player’s success except ______.
