Ⅴ.阅读理解
Technology has entirely transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each other both literally and figuratively (形象地), many of us connect through cellphones, emails, instant messages, blogs,and networking websites, yet ironically we may be less connected to each other than we think.
According to a study to be published today in the American Sociological Review, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated. The study shows, for example,that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that Americans have has dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more seriously among those with less education,people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks.
From my own experience I have to say that I've never felt more connected,thanks to a web of friends, family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met facetoface only twice, but our regular electronic correspondence (通信) and cellphone calls sustain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring (持久的) and important friendships.
