山东省临沂实验学校2020届高三英语高考模拟卷(九)
You might call them "Internet friends" since I haven't met most of them, but for me they're real friends whether we talk online or in person. I name-drop them in conversations with other friends, we have in-jokes, and we share advice or a listening ear when we need to. They are no different to the friends I have made at home.
The problem with my "Internet friendships" comes when I have to explain them to "real friends". "But how can they be your friends if you've never met them?" "What do you really have to talk about?" The list is endless. Even family members think I am a freak (不正常的人) for believing that anyone on the Internet can be a) real b) a true friend c) free of serial killer (连环杀手) tendencies. I've met so many people through Twitter which has led to me meeting them in "real life" as well. When I go to London, it's full of people that I love. At the end of last year after a visit to the city, I spoke to one of my "Internet friends" and said that seeing her had reminded me how much I missed her. Her reply was as follows:
"I forget that my Internet friends are just as real and important to me as the friends I grew up with (if not more important sometimes!)".
Over the past year, as I often wasn't well enough to even leave the house, my "Internet friends" became extremely important and without them I would have struggled to keep my head above water. My "physical friends" were great, truly, but my "Internet friends" became more important in some respects possibly because of our shared love of travel. Many of us share the same dream of being able to live the life of a traveler for as long as we can and they also know what it takes to do that-things my friends didn't know. When I struggled to see what I needed to do before visiting a place, they were there with advice.
