9、Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has   1  for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online.   2   you use chat rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are 3   of a virtual community （虛擬社區(qū)）.

"I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, 4   I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox's Shadow, the online nickname （網(wǎng)名） used by a Senior 2 girl in China. "Eighty percent of my classmates use QQ   5   school."

QQ is the biggest messaging  6  in China. A record 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October,   7   to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.

And Fox's Shadow might well have been one of them. "I log in （登陸） on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel  8  . I usually  9  about 10 hours chatting online every week," she said. "But I rarely talk with  10  , especially boys or men."

Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making  11  with strangers online. "You don't know   12   you're talking to. You should  13   be careful about who you trust online."

Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to 14  someone very well. Fox's Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a comic fan like  15   and they went to a comic show together.

However, not all teenagers have been so  16  . At the beginning of this year, a 17-year-old girl in Liaoning Province was raped after meeting a friend she had found on QQ. The criminals weren't   17   until last month.

A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users. "I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking   18 ," he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. But he spends little time chatting as he sees it as a 19    of time and money. "If you are really   20   to it, sometimes you just can't concentrate in class," he said.

8、History is a society's memory and forms part of people's identity （身份）. But Taiwan's government has proposed a change to their history. In the move their textbooks will separate the island's history from the rest of China.

By disconnecting the island's history from the mainland, the government hopes to create a stronger Taiwan identity.

Under new guidelines （方針） to be carried out in 2006, Taiwan has ordered high schools to change textbooks to create one book of Taiwan's history. At the moment their books cover the complete Chinese history. But following the new move Chinese history will be taught as part of international history. No longer to be included as part of Taiwan's history is the founding of the Republic of China （ROC） in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen. This event will be in the new international history book.

"It is a political attempt by Taiwan's leader Chen Shui-bian to make their education support Taiwan's independence", said Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.

This move has also received great opposition in Taiwan's schools. "The new outline （大綱） is too political and facts have been changed," said Yu Lin, the headmaster of Taipei Middle School. "It will confuse students' understanding of history."

"Who on earth should I think is the founding father of the ROC?" asked a student in Taipei. "Many famous people in history like Confucius（孔子） or Sun Yat-sen, who was considered 'father of the ROC' for more than half a century, should now be thought of as foreigners based upon this ridiculous logic.'' he said.

Many people have shown opposition to the move. "History cannot be changed. Mixing politics with our history means forgetting our ancestors," said Lien Chan, chairman of Kuomintang Party. "It will not do any good for the Taiwanese and only worsen cross-Straits relations."
