Passage One
One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?
You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.
Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.
But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.
36. What is special about Wave?
A. It makes people see each other online. B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.
C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.
D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.
37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because ______. A. people cannot find practical uses for it B. it will be a challenge to regular e-mail
C. the technology it needs is more complicated D. many people do not understand how it works 38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.
A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on line B. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angle C. most Internet users will have access to Wave D. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail 39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Pessimistic. D. Critical.

Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.
Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.
Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.
They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other people for such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam. In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved.
