阅读理解 The term “Metaverse” is the latest buzzword (流行语) to capture the tech industry’s imagination — so much so that one of the best-known internet platforms is rebranding to signal is embrace of the futuristic idea.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc. might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since science fiction writer Neal Stephenson coined the term for his 1992 novel “Snow Crash”. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech visionaries with ideas on how the metaverse, which will employ a mix of virtual reality and other technologies, should take shape.
What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of — instead of just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it’s a world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, using virtual reality headsets and glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game -changer for the work-from-home shift amid the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could join them in a virtual office.
Zuckerberg’s embrace of the metaverse in some ways contradicts a central tenet (信条) of its biggest enthusiasts. They envision the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that assumed ownership of people’s accounts, photos, posts and traded off what they collected from that data. “We want to be able to move around the internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the/Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored," said Steve Jang, who focuses on cryptocurrency (数字货币) technology. There is a growing concern about Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world that could require even more personal data and offer greater potential for abuse and misinformation when it hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms.
1.Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?
A.Because he plans to quit his present business. B.Because he has founded the metaverse.
C.Because he will engage in the metaverse. D.Because he wants to draw public attention.
2.What can be inferred about the central belief of Metaverse fans?
A.Users should be responsible for their personal data. B.Cryptocurrency technology should be monitored.
C.Tech platforms should possess users’ data. D.The Metaverse should be tracked.
3.What can people do in the Metaverse?
A.Do everything in the real world. B.Have meetings in the virtual office.
C.Defeat the pandemic. D.See co-workers on a video-call.
4.What do some people think of Zuckerberg’ s decision?
A.Facebook will gain people’s trust. B.Facebook will make the internet a better world.
C.Facebook may not abuse information. D.Facebook may not play a good leading role.

短文改错 I enjoy learning English but can remember individual words easy. However, when it comes to reading comprehension, it’s really the challenge. Last weekend, I tried to read a storybook write in English to improve my reading. At first, I refer to the dictionary every time I came across a new word, which I found it not very helpful. I often felt puzzling about what I had read. Then I tried to finish a chapter completely with looking up the new words. What surprised me was I could understand the story merely from the context. I hope I will make great progresses in English in this way.
