 While I was at school, I  1  train with Spurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also    2  for English schoolboys, so I suppose I was    3  a school boy star.

  

 I didn't really get into  4  at school. I had my two elder brothers there for    5  of the time that I was there, so my stay at the school wasn't that hard.    6  other children had a really hard time.

  

 I left  7  the end of the Fourth Year, and that caused a bit of trouble. I was allowed    8  maths and technical drawing early. I passed them    9  , but unfortunately I failed in woodwork. If I'd stayed on    10  12 subjects like the other children.

  

 It was a big decision to leave early so as  11  take all my exams. It could have meant that I'd wasted    12  years. But how many could get the    13  that I had? I'm told that only one in 1000 makes it in    14  , so you have only a very slim chance. But I decided to go for it and looking back it was the    15  thing to do.

  

 I didn't support Spurs  16  a boy. I supported QPR, my local team. But to play for Spurs,    17  had just won the FA Cup, was interesting to me. There were so many    18  , and of course Bill Nicholson was the    19  thena great manager.

 I didn't have any girlfriends at  20  .I was  21  deeply involved (陷于) in football that I didn't have time.    22  I don't have direct contact with my old school friends, I own a sports    23  in the area, so they often drop into the shop and talk about the old days,    24  is really nice. I'm always pleased to see them.

  

 I would advise anyone  25  to be a footballer to stay on at school to do their exams. If a club wants you badly enough they'll come in for you later.

In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors the real world. People 36 information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.

Some Internet users want 37 just someone to chat with. They’re looking for 38 love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That 39 depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually 40 . Others fail miserably.

Unlike the real world, 41 , your knowledge about a person is 42 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 43 are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.

Usually, this “ 44 ” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really 45 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. 46 else can so many people come together to chat?

    47 of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.

But critics of online relationships 48 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 chosse their words to 49 whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal (不用语言表达的)” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine 50 the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not 51 a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many 52 . it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This surely 53 disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.

So, 54 looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, “Life in the 55 world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
