We were at a restaurant in Tuscany on our summer holiday last year though,when we met another English couple who had a far more interesting story than us.Lynn and Andy had actually met online before they got together, or at least they thought they had.After a few casual conversations through an online dating agency,they decided to meet for real.Lynn arrived at the restaurant first, and shortly after was approached by Andy, who thought she was someone else. It turns out they’d both arranged to meet different people,but liked the look of each other. and that was that!

And they're not alone. It seems there are all sorts of places you might meet that special someone. Lukas met Sofie for the first time when he crashed into her caron his bicycle."It was raining and I was coming downhill really fast, so i couldn’t really see where I was going.Sofic opened her car door and I went straight into it and off my bike,”explains Lukas."I was unconscious for a few seconds.and when 1 came round there was this beautiful young woman asking me "Are you OK? Well after that, she went to the hospital with me and was just really kind really caring. and we hit it off.

Every cloud has a silver lining. so they say,and Nick McKiddie would most likely agree.He was leaving the office late one night when he got robbed by a group of young men.He wasn't hurt but they stole his phone and wallet, so he called the police Susan Harris, a young police officer at the time, attended the call.Nick explains," don't know whether I was in shock because of what had happened,but I think it was love at first sight. I would never usually be so confident, but I just asked if she wanted to go for a drink sometime,and to my surprise,she said yes!Nick and Susan got married last December

Animals don't have the same social inhibitions(抑制;顾虑) as humans do.and this was certainly the case when Ritook her dog.Ben.to the local dog park.“As soon as I took his head off he ran straight to another dog on the other side of the park and started getting very friendly indeed, she laughs, "I actually had to pull him away and that was when I met Ben the other dog's owner We had a good laugh about it all,especially when we realized he had the same name as my dog.We became friends after that,and well,the rest is history."

(B)

If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news:e-mail is on the decline.

At first thought, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation,after all, doesn't do e-mail. Oh,they might have an account.They use it only as we would use a fax machine as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Websites. They rarely check it,though.

Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages-are more direct,more concentrated,more efficient.They go without the salutation(称呼语)and the sign off(签收);we already know the"to"and“from”Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason:more signals, less noise and less time.This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, can now send you an easily -read message that you can read-and respond to-on the go.

The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant messages bring great convenience to people. They can deal with them at about any time:before a movie, in a taxi. waiting for lunch. And because these notes are very brief.they're a natural for smart phone typing.

Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand,tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them,

then they're gone, into an endless string.but e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later.It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications:agreements, important news,longer explanations.

So,e-mail won't go away completely.Remember,we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works, Postal mail found its smaller niche. and so will e-mail.Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new alternatives.

40.What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?

A. Contact close friends  B. Send long messages

C.Fill in some forms  D.Communicate with their colleagues

41. Paragraphs 3-4 are important to the passage in that they___

A. illustrate the preferences of the young generation

B. explain the possible reasons behind the decline of c-mail

C.reveal the rapid development of e-communication channels

D.offer evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages

42.What does the underlined word “ephemeral" in paragraph 5 mcan?

A.Conveniently-sent  B.Randomly-written

C. Hardly readable  D.Short-lived

43. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?

A.It's too early to determine the decline of e-mail.

B.E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantages

C.E-mail.just like postal mai has come to its end.

D.We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail

(C)
