A

The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽车) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were completely empty – not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going. As we drove through the deserted wilderness, my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. ?  But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core . My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed. As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it. I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day. We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overcoming my fear.

B

I’m not so sure I like my friends any more．I used to like them—to be honest．We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails，and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook, and I was introduced to a sad fact：many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me．

Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden，they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities．

Take Fred．If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的)．Read his Facebook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable，food-obsessed boring man．He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man—and then write about it．

Take Andy．You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run．So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook．He’s doing well—level 731．Thanks to Facebook，I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day．Andy, you’ve run four companies—and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?

Take Liz．She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it．And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find，so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter．

In real life，I don’t see these sides of people．Face to face, my friends show me their best．They’re nice，smart people．But face to Facebook，my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong．

31. Who is opposed to the flu vaccine in the text?

A. Fred． B. Andy． C. Liz． D. Chris．

32. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?

A. He’s running his company．
