When you are online, you can be anyone or anything.You can create your own image<1> and a new personality.These digital identities<2>， known as avatars, are a key part of how people use the Internet to communicate and express themselves. The first simple 2D<3> avatars appeared in role-playing computer games in the 1980s.Yet, very few people knew that future avatars would have such a wide variety<4> of forms and uses.①By the late 1990s, they had been used in web chats like instant messenger<5>． When people started creating their own avatars, they discovered that they were going to have the power to create new identities that did not look or act like their real selves at all.They could dress their avatars in fancy<6> clothes, or they could try being someone of the opposite sex<7>， and call themselves “Andy” instead of “Anna”！ When Internet users realised that their avatars would be seen by many people, not just their friends, they started having more than one avatar: a sensible<8> one for work；a friendly, good-looking one for meeting people；and a silly one for having fun.Avatars let you express yourself and they give you lots of room for creativity<9>． [词汇注解] <1>image/ˈImIdʒ/ n．图像；形象 <2>identity/aIˈdentəti/n.身份；特征 <3>2D(2-dimensional) adj.二维的 <4>variety/vəˈraIəti/ n．多样化，变化 a variety of 各种各样的 <5>instant messenger 即时通讯 instant/ˈInstənt/adj.即时的；立刻的，马上的 <6>fancy/ˈfænsi/adj.花哨的；别致的 <7>sex/seks/n.性别 <8>sensible/ˈsensəbl/ adj.朴素实用的；明智的，合理的 <9>creativity/ˌkriːeIˈtIvəti/n.创造力；独创性 虚拟形象 你选择的虚拟形象能透露出你的很多信息。这篇文章将帮助你更好地理解关于虚拟形象的选择。 当你上网时，你可以是任何人或任何事物。你可以创设自己的形象，并且拥有新的个性。这些数字身份被称作“虚拟形象”，这是人们利用互联网进行交流和表达自己的关键部分。 简单的二维虚拟形象最早出现在20世纪80年代的角色扮演电脑游戏中。然而，很少有人知道未来的虚拟形象会有如此广泛的形式和用途。① 到20世纪90年代末，虚拟形象就已经用于网络聊天中了，如即时通讯。 当人们开始创设自己的虚拟形象时，他们发现自己将有能力创设新的身份，这种身份在相貌和行为上可以与真正的自我完全不同。他们可以给自己的虚拟形象穿上华丽的衣服，或者尝试换个性别，可以给自己取名为“安迪”，而不是“安娜”！当互联网用户意识到很多人会看到他们的虚拟形象，而不仅仅是他们的朋友时，他们开始使用不止一个虚拟形象：一个朴素实用的虚拟形象用于工作；一个友好的、好看的虚拟形象用于交友；一个傻乎乎的虚拟形象用于取乐。虚拟形象让你可以表达自己，还给你很多创造空间。 Of course, the avatar you choose says a lot about your personality.If your blog<10> avatar is a picture of a cute cat, your message is “I like relaxing and having fun”．Well-known cartoon characters or laughing monkeys say “I'm a really funny person”．Most people create avatars that have similar features to their personalities and that look more or less like them and act like them.However, nearly all avatars are tall, young and nice-looking, so people obviously<11> make their avatars look better than they do in real life.②They also experiment<12> with things like different hairstyles<13>—which says a lot, perhaps, about what they want to look like. Nowadays<14>， avatars are everywhere.In most web chats, people choose an avatar from a selection<15> of ready-made images, or create their own images.You can also use avatars that move around and talk when you type<16> in your message.The avatars in online worlds can talk, walk and fly around, meet people, go shopping and attend classes. The use of avatars has also caused a few concerns<17>．Some users worry that they are spending so much time in virtual<18> worlds that they are becoming afraid of meeting people in the real world.The use of several avatars can also be a risk, as people can use avatars to cheat<19> others online.However, other users view<20> avatars in a more positive light.③They look forward to a time when their avatar will act like a real person and travel around bigger, more exciting virtual worlds. <10>blog/blɒɡ/n.博客；网络日志 vt.发表博客 <11>obviously/ˈɒbviəsli/ adv.显而易见地，明显地 <12>experiment/IkˈsperImənt/vi.&vt.做实验，进行试验 n．实验 <13>hairstyle/ˈheəstaIl/n.发型，发式 <14>nowadays/ˈnaʊədeIz/adv.现今，现时 <15>selection/sIˈlekʃən/n.供选择的同类物品；选择 <16>type/taIp/vi.&vt.打；打字 n．类型，种类 <17>concern/kənˈsɜːn/n.担忧，忧虑 vt.与……有关；使担心 <18>virtual/ˈvɜːtʃuəl/adj.虚拟的；模拟的 <19>cheat/tʃiːt/ vt.欺骗；欺诈 <20>view/vjuː/ vt.看，把……视为 当然，你所选择的虚拟形象会在很大程度上显露你的个性。如果你的博客头像是一只可爱的猫，你传递的信息是“我喜欢放松和享受”。知名的卡通角色或微笑的猴子传递的信息是“我是个很有趣的人”。大多数人创设的虚拟形象与他们的个性有着相似的特征，看起来或多或少像他们，在行为上也像他们。然而，几乎所有的虚拟形象都个头高挑、年轻、面容姣好，所以人们显然想让他们的虚拟形象看起来比现实生活中更好。② 人们还进行尝试，例如换不同的发型，这可能从很大程度上透露了他们希望自己看起来是什么样子。 现在，虚拟形象无处不在。在大多数网络聊天中，人们都是从现成的图片中选择一个作为虚拟形象，或者创建自己的图像。当你输入信息时，你也可以让虚拟形象活动起来或说话。网络世界中的虚拟形象可以交谈、走路、飞行，还可以结识他人、购物和上课。 虚拟形象的使用也引起了一些担忧。一些用户担心他们在虚拟世界中花费了太多时间，以至于开始害怕在现实世界中与人见面。使用多个虚拟形象也可能会带来风险，因为人们可以在网上使用虚拟形象来欺骗他人。但是，其他用户则以更为积极的态度看待虚拟形象。③ 他们期待着有朝一日，自己的虚拟形象会像真人一样去环游更广阔、更精彩的虚拟世界。 Step One　Fast reading Ⅰ.Read the passage quickly and fill in the following blanks with suitable words.
