Now net fiction, also called computer fiction is popular in more than 80 countries.

To write computer fictions, the writers don't have to think about making any plot. Like reporters, they just go to a lot of places and collect materials：what most women want, their ideas about life and love, their happiness and sufferings and emotions. All these materials are fed into the computer to be processed and classified. Then the writers just pick some materials from every part and fill in some details and a story is made up.

The first computer fiction was edited by 13 editors and published in Canada in 1976.It was a great success and 45 million copies were sold. Seeing this new process as profittaking(贏利的) a big American publishing company bought over the majority of the 13 Canadian editors and soon a series of computer fictions were published in the United States.

All the computer fictions have very romantic titles. The heroine is always about 20,while the hero is a 30 to 40 bachelor(單身的),handsome, with money and power. The hero and the heroine have a happy reunion after all kinds of misunderstandings. Computer fictions are enjoyed by most women readers of the west. But people doubt if they have any literary value.

59. When writing computer fictions, the writers       .

A. think hard

B. collect materials from many places

C. express what they want to

D. describe women's sufferings and emotions

60. The first computer fiction was published about        years ago.

A.13                  B.38               C.20                     D.80

61. Computer fictions are all about       .

The following is a recent survey among teenagers:

Radio

Most teenagers nowadays are not regular listeners to radio. They may occasionally tune in, but they do not try to listen to a program specifically. The main reason teenagers listen to the radio is for music, but now with online sites streaming music for free they do not bother, and users can choose the songs they want instead of listening to what the radio presenter/DJ chooses.

Television

Most teenagers watch television, but usually there are points in the year where they watch more than average. This is due to programs coming on in seasons, so they will watch a particular show at a certain time (as long as it lasts) but then they may watch no television for weeks.

Teenagers are also watching less television because of services such as BBC iPlayer, which allows them to watch shows when they want. Whilst watching TV, adverts come on quite regularly (18 minutes of every hour) and teenagers do not want to watch these, so they switch to another channel, or do something else whilst the adverts run.

Newspapers

No teenager that I know of regularly reads a newspaper, as most do not have the time and cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news summarized on the Internet or on TV.

Internet

Every teenager has some access to the Internet, be it at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whilst school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites. Facebook is the most common, with nearly everyone with an Internet connection registered and visiting >4 times a week. Facebook is popular as one can interact with friends on a wide scale.

For searching the web, Google is the dominant figure, simply because it is well known and easy to use. Some teenagers make purchases on the Internet (on sites like eBay) but this is only used by a small percentage, as a credit card is required and most teenagers do not have credit cards. Many teenagers use YouTube to watch videos (usually anime which cannot be watched anywhere else) and some use it as a music player by having a video with the music they want to listen to playing in the background.

Mobile Phones

99pc of teenagers have a mobile phone and most are quite capable phones. Usually, teenagers only use their phones for texting, calling. Features such as video messaging or video calling are not used—because they are expensive.

Services such as instant messaging are used, but not by everyone. It usually depends whether the phone is Wi-Fi compatible, because otherwise it is very expensive to get Internet off the phone network. As most teenagers’ phones have Bluetooth support, and Bluetooth is free, they utilize this feature often.

Mobile email is not used as teenagers have no need; they do not need to be connected to their inbox all the time as they don’t receive important emails.

   The survey carried out recently is mainly concerned with ______.

A. how teenagers consume media

B. what electric devices teenagers favor

C. which new trend teenagers are following

D. how teenagers contact others and make their social net

   As is mentioned in the survey, the reason why teenagers watch less TV mainly lies in that ______.

A. teenagers do not watch regular programs

B. all the TV programs are on for only a few weeks

C. teenagers may turn to other devices to watch their favorite

D. the TV adverts coming on every channel are just the same

   Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?

A. Radio presenter or DJ used to invite the listeners to choose the songs they want.

B. The main source for teenagers to get news is Internet as well as newspapers.

C. Google is the most common social networking sites due to its convenience.

D. Some features of modern mobile phones are not widely used by teenagers.
