【正确答案】Making Friends on the Internet Here is an interesting story in the picture: Two boys, with cell phones in their hands, are talking about making friends on the Internet. One of them is even staring at the phone screen. The thought-provoking picture reveals that people prefer to communicate with each other in the virtual world rather than in daily life. This phenomenon could be explained in several respects. To start with, the great convenience of the Internet makes it easier for people to talk with each other, even in a large group. What's more, people are always curious about things or people they do not know a lot. Last, some people may be inclined to share their feelings with strangers they may never meet. In fact, making friends on the Internet is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it has really become a way for people to contact, which is fast, convenient and even entertaining. However, on the other hand, there are also some potential dangers. You can hardly tell whether the person on the other end is kind or evil. Beyond that, most of us spend so much time on cell phones or computers that we ignore our friends and family members in the real world.
