C
Worried about when you might get dumped (断绝关系)? Facebook knows.
That’s according to a graphic (图表) inspecting online that uses Facebook status (身份) updates to chart what time of year people are breaking up.
British journalist and graph designer David McCandless, who specializes in showcasing (展示) data in visual ways, made the chart. He showed off the graph at a TED conference last July in Oxford, England. In the talk, McCandless said he and a colleague searched 10,000 Facebook status updates for the phrases “breakup” and “broken up”.
They found two big increases on the calendar for breakups. The first was after Valentine’s Day – that holiday has a way of defining (界定) relationships, for better or worse – and in the weeks leading up to spring break. Maybe spring fever makes people restless, or maybe college students just don’t want to be tied down when they’re partying in Cancun.
The other big romantically unfaithful time, according to the graph, is about two weeks before Christmas – probably as people begin pricing gifts for their significant others. Mondays, as if they weren’t bad enough, are the most likely day to break up. Summer and fall look like the safest seasons. And, possibly showing enough, are the most likely day to break up. Summer and fall look like the safest seasons. And, possibly showing that some people’s sense of humor is more twisted than others, there’s an increase in breakups on April Fool’s Day.
What single day are you least likely to get a “Dear John (or Jane)” letter?
“Christmas Day,” McCandless said. “Who would do that?”
64．How does Facebook know when people break up?
A．Facebook conducted a survey concerning the issue.
B．People inform others of their breakup on Facebook.

Dear College Dean
It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to improve the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lad. It is the tradition of his school to promote education and to be the pioneer of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.
Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things.
We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.
While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect students to use computers to do homework or to complete projects. Students are asked to create PowerPoint presentations and use spreadsheets and database programs, as well as to research many topics on the Internet. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do projects using the computer enhances the process of learning, giving students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find.
If there are more computers, students will also be able to complete their work more efficiently. No more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly.
The more computers are used in society the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process easier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life
72．The purpose of the author in writing the passage is .
A．to describe the problems caused by lack of computers
B．to explain why students are in great need of computers
C．to tell us what benefits students can gain from computers
D．to persuade the Dean to purchase more advanced computers
73．From the passage we can infer that .
A．present computers in the college cannot meet the demands of the students
B．computers in the college will be updated to meet the student's demands soon
C．the college has the responsibility to help the students to prepare for their future
D．it is also necessary to expand the college bookstore by using part of the donation
74．In paragraph 4, the author mainly wants to tell us that .
A．computers are beneficial to students' academic success
B．computers are helpful to student's competition for success
C．students find it convenient to do assignments by using computers
D．students wish to use the money to buy more advanced computers
75．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
