Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the travellers might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport (護(hù)照).

This passport is a government request for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a governments pledge(保證) that the people will obey the rules of the host country (東道國).

To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(證明) that he is an American citizen(公民). An American can not go overseas(外國) without a passport. Only certain close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports.

We used to go into different chat rooms on different websites. If you wanted to meet someone on the Net, you had to go into the same chat room. But now regular Net surfaces chat in OICQ.

OICQ is an online chat software which is invented by Tencent Computer System Company of Shenzhen in February, 1999. Since then it has swept the country. Its symbol is a penguin wearing a red scarf (圍巾).

Net friends can be divided into a buddy list(for good friends), a stranger list(for people you dont want to talk with at once), or an ignore list (for people you want to avoid on the Net). You can also build up family lists, co-worker lists, etc.

You can know whether listed friends are online as long as you use it. The cartoon portrait(畫像) of the person turns bright if he is online. And the portrait turns dim if he is not there.

Traditional public chat rooms are often chaotic. It is difficult to focus on a conversation. OICQ can conduct a focused talk without interruptions by other chatters.

OICQ acts as a regular daily communication tool. “What is your OICQ number?” has become a modern topic.

Skin-diving(潛泳) is a new sport today. This sport takes you into a wonderful new world. It is like a visit to the moon. When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks because you are no longer heavy.

One silly question I simply cant understand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question I asked of a mans action—a man on the go, walking along the street or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? Hell probably say, “Fine, Im all right,” but youve put a bug in his ear—maybe now hes not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked(忽略) that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else. “How do you feel?”

Every question has its time and place. Its perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask “How do you feel?” if youre visiting a close friend in hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, its no time to ask him that silly question.

When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or youre dead.”

A. be praised for his efforts

B. never be asked any question

C. not be bothered (煩擾)

D. be discouraged from working so hard
