Its been lovely to reconnect with those friends online, some of whom Id not seen or heard from since high school. They still seemed familiar and close even after decades and on the Internet. So thank you, Facebook. Charlie and his old friend Tom also recently reconnected, though not with a few simple keystrokes(击键). The two men attended the same university in the 1950s. They had not seen or communicated with each other since their graduation. Then one day Tom walked up to our front doorout of the blue.He was on his way back home after visiting his daughter. Having gotten Charlies address from a former schoolmate, hed decided to swing by our farm to visit his old friend.Finding no one home, Tom hiked to the next house, where he learned that Charlie would likely be working on the hill in the west. “If you follow the path youll find it,” our young neighbor told him.Tom saw the path, but soon found it was full of wild grass. After some aimless walking he hiked back to our farmhouse. I was home this time. “ Ill walk you there,” I offered, and we set off, ducking under fences, walking down the stream, crossing the little wooden bridge, and climbing up the small hill.Yes, Charlie was there working on the roof of a small house. He climbed down to see who it was Id brought. And so, after 60 years, the two men stood face to face once more.The reunion was rich with laughter and memories. I took photos of them with Toms camera, and asked if he might e-mail some to me. No, he patiently explained. Like Charlie, he didnt use e-mail, or Facebook.The two men exchanged a smile, as if in agreement that Facebook reunions cant match a successful “friend search” off the web which took a bit of physical effort.24 Why did the author mention his own experience in Paragraph 1?A To make a comparisonB To offer adviceC To provide explanationsD To give examples25 How did Tom find Charlie?A Through FacebookB By attending a reunion partyC By asking for directionsD With the help of Toms daughter26 Whats Toms attitude towards the Internet?A DoubtfulB ObjectiveC UnfavorableD Indifferent27 Whats the best title for this text?A Friendly NeighborsB A Successful Friend SearchC Reunion with Friends OnlineD Reconnecting with My FriendsCEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theatre.
