Technology helps people do everything from planning to meet for a movie to keeping in touch with a friend who lives in a different country.

When planning to get together with friends，Julian said，“If I want to go and see a movie with a few friends，I usually send them text messages.By telephone，you have to call every single friend one by one.But text messaging allows you to send the same message to as many people as you’d like，which saves a lot of time.”

Email，IM，and other lowcost methods of communication also help people keep longdistance friendships in ways they couldn’t have even a few years ago.

Mike told us，“I had this friend when I was 8 or 9，and then she moved away to the country.We promised to stay friends and to send letters，and at the start we did.Then the letters got fewer and fewer and we at last stopped writing to each other.I think if we had had email，we would still be in touch.”

James found out about cost the hard way.He said，“I called my friend in New Zealand，which is halfway around the world，and it cost me over $200！So now I just stay up late to see if I can catch him on MSN or I write an email.”

Email，IM，and other lowcost ways of keeping in touch also allow people to develop brief acquaintances (与人相识) into longlasting friendships.Andrea told us，“I met this really cool girl.We sometimes email each other.We’ve been in touch over half a year and it’s nice to talk to her.”

64．What is this passage mainly about?

A．Technology has improved greatly.

B．Technology can help our social lives.

C．Technology keeps faraway friends close.

D．Text messages bring advantages to our life.

65．How does Julian usually get in touch with a group of friends?

　　In the last few years our communications network has been growing at a very fast pace．The old fixed－line telephone has been replaced by mobile phones, Short Message Service(SMS), e－mail and instant messaging(IM)．And there are other new ways of communicating related to the Internet, such as blogs．

　　A recent study in Switzerland shows the different roles that communication methods can play．Stefana Broadbent is a scientist at Swisscom, Switzerland’s largest telecoms company．She studied several hundred consumers and their reactions to telecommunications．She found people are very good at choosing the best technology for each situation．

　　“IM is used to tell you I miss you; e-mail is to organize our dinner; voice mail is to say, I’m late; and SMS to continue our talk on the way,” says Broadbent, joking a little．

　　Landline phones are an open channel．That means people use them to talk about non-private things．That’s because other family members or colleagues have access to the phone．Mobile phones are more for adding last-minute information．SMS is used for close friends to keep in touch．It is very efficient and private．The messages are often related to personal secrets．People often use e-mail for online communication with bigger social groups．That includes ordinary friends．Or it is used for exchanging pictures, music, and other content among a social network．IM, such as MSN and QQ, is a continuous channel．Users open an instant messaging channel for the day．Then they just keep it open while they do other activities．Managing a blog is like creating your own independent club on the Internet for friends to visit．It is often the centre of a small group of friends who share the same hobbies．
