As the Internet has developed rapidly in the past decades,     1    question arises among people: does the Internet help or harm friendship? Different people have different opinions.

In Robert’s view, talking online can’t replace face-to-face contact. Important social skills

    2     (develop) through direct contact with other people. It is these skills     3    enable us to develop lifelong friendships. Besides, the Internet can make people self-centred—not thinking of anyone or anything but     4    (they). In addition, online relationships may not be what they appear     5    (be). We can never be 100 percent sure that the people we are chatting to are being honest about who they are.

However, Cathy thinks the Internet not only makes communication much     6   

(convenient) but also more fun. By using a smartphone, a tablet or a computer, people can chat as well as share photos, videos, news stories and websites     7    friends. She also points out that online communication can    8    (actual) bring people closer to each other. Whenever someone needs help, net friends from all over the world can immediately provide useful     9    (suggest)  

or information, which     10    (make) friends feel loved and cared for.

I.阅读理解

When Senait Lara, a 28-year-old video producer, was questioned by her friends about her lack of communication in their group chat, the complaints were as follows: she only caught up every few days; when she did, it was hardly an interaction—Lara spent time “liking” messages instead of responding with words; and sometimes she would never respond at all. Lara didn’t deny (否认) it. She knew she sometimes preferred to completely avoid her phone rather than deal with a large number of requests. Actually, in person, Lara felt comfortable talking with people, but when

communication came down to a text message or an email, she wanted to tap out.

While social media and messaging apps keep us more connected to each other, many younger users are finding themselves tired out from receiving constant notices and carrying on conversations that can last all day. The after-effects? Delayed responses, forgetting to get back to someone entirely, and a need for frequent phone breaks.

In fact, a 2023 study exploring the effects of information overload and online conversation dynamics found that “over-exposure to information can suppress the possibility of response by overloading users.”

“Smartphones have quickly changed into hand-held storage units for our conversations, thoughts, music and everything else. That shift to feeling constantly attached to our phones as if they were a limb relates to the burnout,” says psychologist Emily Balcetis.

As the pressure to be online and always available continues to grow in our society, in-person interactions provide far more real communication than digital ones. From body language to eye contact and all the other social clues (线索) that exist in real life that aren’t available in a text message, it’s far easier to be present when you’re face-to-face. As Balcetis notes, “At the end of the day, I think what we’re looking for is not more ways to stay connected, but higher quality ways to be connected.”
