Do you use Facebook, MySpace or Twitter? If so, then you are part of a social network. Social networking sites allow us to see our social connections.

When you create a profile (a description of somebody that gives useful information) on a social networking site, you open up a number of possible social connections. You can look up old friends, make new friends, and share music, photos and videos with them. You can also join groups according to your interests or hobbies, favorite TV shows or music.

Setting up a social networking account (帳號(hào)) is simple. You just create and post a personal profile. For this you need a login name, password, and an e-mail account. Then you add some personal information such as name, age. sex, location. interests. etc. You can also add a photo of yourself. You can control who sees your profile, The next step is to look for new ones, and add them to your network. Then you can search your friends' connections for anyone else you'd like to add to your network.

Different social networking sites allow people to communicate in different ways. There are sites that allow you to enlarge your personal community such as Facebook, Then there are ones that include media(媒體倫)sharing, such as You Tube, where members upload and look at other people's pictures and videos, There are also ones that specialize in sharing music, such as Last FM. and finally. ones that allow bloggers to form online communities. such as Live Journal.

If asked to name the most famous cartoon character from their country, Americans may say Mickey Mouse. And people in Belgium would p【1】mention Tintin. And in China, the title may go to Sanmao, a thin boy w【2】 only three hairs on his head, who was created by the late comic artist Zhang Leping(1910-1992) .On March 26, Zhang was given the Special Honor award at the 2018 International Illustrated Silent Book Contest. Zhang is the first Chinese cartoonist to ever r【3】 this prize.

The story of Sanmao starts with his moving to Shanghai. As an orphan (孤兒), Sanmao has n【4】 to depend on and has to take on many different jobs, such as selling newspapers, and performing kung fu. But still it's h【5】 for him to afford the cost of living. He has to sleep on the streets and is often laughed at by strangers.

A【6】 his living conditions are poor, Sanmao is a kind boy who often shares his food with homeless people. He is also a boy of integrity (正直的). For example, he once r【7】to join a group of thieves who promised to feed him every day in exchange for his services.

From his story, people learn about the most turbulent(動(dòng)蕩的)moments of Chinese h【8】.

It takes a little skill to do this experiment, but the result is truly SURPRISING.
