In the 1960s, many young Americans were dissatisfied with American society. They wanted to end the Vietnam War and to make all of the people in the U.S. equal. Some of them decided to "drop out" of American society and form their own societies. They formed utopian communities, which they called “communes”, where they could follow their philosophy of “do your own thing”. A group of artists founded a commune in southern Colorado called "Drop City." Following the ideas of philosopher and architect Buckminster Fuller, they built dome-shaped houses from pieces of old cars. Other groups, such as author Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters, the followers of San Francisco poet Steve Gakin, and a group that called itself the Hog Farm, lived in old school houses and traveled around the United States. The Hog Farm became famous when they helped organize the Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. Steve Gaskin’s followers tried to settle down on a farm in Tennessee, but they had to leave when some members of the group were arrested for growing marijuana.

　　Not all communes believed in the philosophy of “do your own thing”. However, Twin Oaks, a commune founded in Virgiania in the late 1960s, was based on the ideas of psychologist B.F.Skinner. The people who lived at Twin Oaks were carefully controlled by Skinner’s “conditioning” techniques to do things that were good for the community. In 1972, Italian architect Paolo Soleri began to build Arcosanti, a utopian city Arizsona where 2500 people will live closely together in one large building called an “archeology”. Soleri believes that people must live closely together so that they will all become one.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication,there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line . 71　 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send : ask yourself, “would I say this to the person’s face ?” If the answer is no ,rewrite and reread.7 2　

If someone in the chat room is rude to you .your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so . 73 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member , try to fix the situation by politely discussing it .Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room..

74 Offer advice when asked by newcomers. As they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate . When someone makes a mistake , whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it . If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything . Even if you feel strongly about it . think twice before saying anything . Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 75　 At the same time , if you find you wrong. be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age , sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information . don’t ask such questions.

A.　　 It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B.　　 Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face .

C.　　 Everyone was new to the network once.

D.　　 The basic rule is simple :treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E.　　 When you send short messages to a person online , you must say something beautiful to hear.

F.　　 You should either ignore the person. or use your chat software to block their messages.

G.　　 If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake. point it out politely.
