MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents' worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital times.
For teenagers, it is a reliable(可信賴的) network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their names, birthdays, after – school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.　　
“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don't have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace,” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 15 – year – old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously worried about the safe problems of MySpace.
“ Every time we hold a parents' meeting, the first question is always about My Space,” said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研討會). The National Centre for Missing Children has received at least 288 MySpace – related complaints（相關(guān)投訴）, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It's like a free checklist for trouble – makers and it endangers children,” Buchanan said.
（1）What is the possible meaning of the underlined “acquaintances”?
A.熟人
B.設(shè)備
C.愛好
D.產(chǎn)品
（2）From the passage, we can learn that MySpace ______.
A.can't bring about the generation gap
B.is difficult to reach just about everyone
C.encourages you to list your personal information
D.is very careful about people's personal information
（3）What can we infer from “Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace?”
A.MySpace is quite popular with parents.
B.MySpace often holds parents meetings.
C.MySpace has become a problem troubling parents.
D.Parents don't have lots of questions about the website.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

It was a rainy night in New Orleans, US. At a bus station, I watched a young girl cry as her baggage(行李) was taken down. It seemed she'd lost her ticket. She begged the bus driver not to leave her behind.
“Losing your ticket is like losing your money,” the bus driver said, and left her in the rain.
But then an old man stood up and blocked the driver's way. “How can you leave that girl out there? You know she had a ticket. You can't just leave her here. You can't leave her in a city where she doesn't have a friend. You will meet your schedule, but she might meet her end.”
The driver showed no sign that he'd heard or even cared about the young girl's problem, or how her travels went.
So the old gentleman said, “I'll pay for her fare. I'll give her a little money to help her on her way.”
He went and bought the ticket for the girl. “How can I repay the kindness you've shown tonight?” She asked. “We're strangers who won't meet again. A mere 'thank you' doesn't seem right.”
The old man said, "What goes around comes around. I've learned this with time. Whatever you give, you always get back. Always be helpful to others and give what you can spare.”

A.Because she needed to go to the hospital.
B.Because she wanted to leave for another city.

（2）What does the underlined part “meet her end” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A.End her life
B.End her travel.
