Friendship in Internet

　　In so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间)mirrors the real world．People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips there．Others buy and sell products．Still others look for friendship, or even love．

　　Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen．Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace．Rather, a person’s thoughts－or at least the thoughts they type－are what really count．So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star．Usually, this“faceless”communication doesn’t create problems．Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies．

　　In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation．Where else can so many people come together to chat their interests?

　　But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with．They are looking for serious love relationships．Is cyberspace a good place to find love?The answer depends on whom you ask．Some of these relationships actually succeed．Others fail miserably．

　　Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows people to get to know each other intellectually(理智)first．Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way．But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace．Why?Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them．Internet users can carefully play with their words to fit whatever image they want to give．And they don’t have to worry about what their“speechless”communication is doing for their image．In a sense, they are not really themselves．

　　All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace．But not knowing about a person is a big problem in a love relationship．With so many unknowns its easy to let one’s imagination…

想一想：Discuss with your classmates about how to deal with the friends on the Internet?

　　EGGS

　　Eggs are an excellent source of complete protein(蛋白质)；they contain all essential amino acids(氨基酸)．One large egg contains 7 or 8 grams of first-class protein．Also found in eggs are vitamins A, B2, D, and E; niacin(烟酸)；copper; iron; phosphorus(磷)；and unsaturated(不饱和的)fats．The egg yolk contains the richest known source of choline, found in lecithin and necessary for keeping the cholesterol (胆固醇)within the egg emulsified(蛋白)．The egg yolk also contains biotin(维生素H)，one of the B-complex vitamins．

　　FIBER

　　Fiber is the part of food that is not digested by the human body, such as the skin of an apple and the husk(壳，皮)of a wheat kernel．The normal functioning of the intestinal tract depends upon the presence of adequate fiber．A low-fiber diet has been associated with heart disease, cancer of the colon and rectum(直肠)，diverticulosis(瘢痕形成)，varicose veins(纹理)，phlebitis(静脉炎)，and obesity．

　　FISH

　　Fish are excellent sources of high-grade protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and minerals, especially iodine(碘)and potassium(钾)．Fish are categorized as freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and shellfish．These types differ slightly in nutritive value．Freshwater fish provide magnesium(镁)，phosphorus, iron, and copper．Saltwater fish and shellfish are rich in iodine, fluorine(氟)，and cobalt (钴)．Fatty fish, such as halibut(比目鱼)，mackerel(鲭鱼)，and salmon, are good sources of vitamins A and D．Herring, oysters, and sardines contain vanadium and zinc．Shellfish are low fatty acids but are relatively high in cholesterol．

　　FRUITS

　　Fresh fruits are good sources of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A and C, carbohydrates in the form of cellulose and natural sugars, and water．They are good substitutes of such high-carbohydrate(碳水化合物)foods as candy, cookies, and cakes, which contain few nutrients．Yellow fruits, such as apricots, cantaloupe(香瓜)，and persimmons(柿子)，are good sources of carotene(胡萝卜素)，which is converted to vitamin A．Aside from acerola cherries and rose hips, the best natural sources of vitamin C are the citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and tangerines(橘)；other sources of vitamin C are cantaloupe, strawberries, and tomatoes．Apples and bananas contain valuable bulk fiber in the form of indigestible(不可吸收的)cellulose, which is needed for regular bowel movement．Bananas are high in magnesium(镁)and may be useful for treatment of diarrhea, colitis, ulcers, and certain cases of protein allergies．Bananas and pears are the highest in natural sugars．

　　GRAINS

　　Grains are often referred to as cereals ;they are the seeds of various grasses such as wheat, oats, rice, and barley．Often called the “staff of life”, they provide the bulk of the world's food supply．Common foods made from these grains are flours, breads, breakfast cereals, and macaroni．

　　In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behavior(行为)．So children who want to go to universities are often sent to suburban(郊外的)high schools, where most students aim at going to good universities and the atmosphere(气氛)is quite different．
