1 . When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor _________ me to do so. She said, “Now is the time for you to travel around the world, _________ your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I _________ her.

Since I started to work for a _________ company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the _________ of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business _________, too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got _________ about food in different countries.

Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were _________ necessary when I happened to read a famous chef’s (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the _________ around us at the same time. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian __________?” Those words reminded me of my __________ advice. As information technology __________, you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various __________ you can get from traveling.

Today there are people who __________ direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people __________ not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are __________ by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to __________ and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily __________ more fruitful. However, we should never let it __________ our time for face-to-face communication. Let’s make use of information technology more __________, and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
