Lesson
1 avatars
The avatar you choose says a lot
about you．The article will help you understand
your choice of avatars better．
When you
are online，you can be anyone or anything. You can
create your
own image and a new personality．
These digital identities，known as avatars，are a
key part of how people use the Internet to
communicate and express themselves．
The first
simple 2D avatars appeared in role-playing
computer games in the
1980s．Yet，very few
people knew that future avatars would have such a
wide variety
of forms and uses．By the late
1990s，they had been used in web chats like instant
messenger．
When people started creating
their own avatars，they discovered that they were
going to have the power to create new
identities that did not look or act like their
real selves at all．They could dress their
avatars in fancy clothes，or they could try
being someone of the opposite sex，and call
themselves
When Internet users realised that
their avatars would be seen by many people，not
just their friends，they started having more
than one avatar：a sensible 词 one for
work；a
friendly，good-looking one for meeting people；and a
silly one for having
fun．Avatars let you
express yourself and they give you lots of room
for creativity.
Of course，the avatar you
choose says a lot about your personality．If your
blog
avatar is a picture of a cute cat，your
message is like relaxing and having
fun．Well-
known cartoon characters or laughing monkeys say a
really funny
person． Most people create
avatars that have similar features to their
personalities
and that look more or less like
them and act like them．However，nearly all avatars
are tall，young and nice-looking，so people
obviously make their avatars look better
than
they do in real life．They also experiment with
things like different hairstyles —
which says
a lot，perhaps，about what they want to look like．
Nowadays，avatars are everywhere．In most web
chats，people choose an avatar
from a selection
of ready-made images，or create their own images．
You can also
use avatars that move around and
talk when you type in your message．The avatars
in online worlds can talk，walk and fly
around，meet people，go shopping and attend
classes．
The use of avatars has also
caused a few concerns．Some users worry that they
are spending so much time in virtual worlds
that they are becoming afraid of
meeting
people in the real world．The use of several
avatars can also be a risk，as
people can use
avatars to cheat others online．However，other
users view avatars in
a more positive light．
They look forward to a time when their avatar will
act like a
real person and travel around
bigger，more exciting virtual worlds．

The Internet Harms Friendships
While the
Internet can bring people closer together，it can
also harm
friendships．
Firstly, talking
online is no replacement for face-to-face contact
—
images really cannot replace a real-life
smile or hug ．According to a
parenting
expert，Denise Daniels，communicating through a
screen
makes it more difficult for children to
concentrate or show kindness to
others．As we
know，important social skills are developed through
direct
contact with other people． It is these
skills that enable us to develop
lifelong
friendships．
Secondly，the Internet can make
people self-centered — not thinking of
anyone
or anything but themselves．For example，instead of
having
proper conversations with their
friends，some people are only concerned
with
their online popularity — How many likesdid I get?
How many
followers do I have? — though we know
that the number of
followers cannot compare to
having long-term and rewarding
friendships．In
addition, a lot of the content posted on social
media is
shallow or trivial．Posts about funny
cat images do not necessarily help
form
meaningful relationships．
Thirdly, online
relationships may not be what they appear to
be．Friendships are built on the basis of
trust，and with online
2 6
2019北师大版教材book2unit4听力文本和课文word版
communication you can never be 100 percent
sure that the people you
are chatting to is
being honest about who they are．Because of
this，
going online can be particularly
dangerous for people who are easily
influenced
or too trusting．
In my opinion, friends
should focus more on face-to-face
communication，
and less on online
communication. This is the best way to maintain
healthy relationships．
Cathy's Blog
The Internet Helps Friendships
The
Internet can help develop friendships in many
ways．
Firstly，the Internet makes
communication much more convenient．You
can
stay in touch with friends no matter where you are
or what you are
doing．Using a smartphone，a
tablet or a computer，you can be in contact
at
home and also when you are on the move.
Secondly, the Internet has also made
communication more
fun．Traditional ways of
communicating，like letters and phone calls，can
be limiting and take time．However，you can
share photos，videos，news
stories and websites
with your friends online. You can give
a brief
response to a message with an emoji or a
picture．There are so
many online tools you can
use to be creative !
Thirdly，online
communication can actually bring people closer to
each

other．Nowadays，your friends are just a click
away． Whenever someone
needs help，friends from
all over the world can immediately provide
useful suggestions or information. This makes
friends feel loved and
cared for．To me，this is
a very thought-provoking argument, as it points
out the benefits of online friendships．As
Eileen Kennedy-Moore，
an authority on the
subject，points out，online friends -life
friends can't fill．
Finally, I believe
the Internet brings people closer together and
makes
communication with friends more
convenient and interesting．

My location
(optional)：Wuhan，China
About me：I'm a senior
secondary school student and my favourite
subject is English．I also enjoy history and
geography，and I love exploring
new places with
my family．In my free time，I'm usually in the
library or
at the park with a good book．I've
always loved to read! I think reading is
just
another way of exploring the unknown world．It's an
exciting
experience for me．That's why I
believe that books about foreign cultures
or
imaginary worlds are the best!

Favourite types of books：Fantasy and travel
Favourite books：I like all the books in the
Harry Potter series．However，
I believe the
first one is the best．In my opinion，the author did
an amazing job of creating a whole new world
through this book．After
reading it，I wanted to
find out what happened to each of the
characters. I like Hermione most，because we
have a lot in
common． Are there other readers
who also like her?
Reason for joining the
reading club：I think it's fun to hear about new
books that other people enjoy．Is there a
fantasy book that you really like?
