Besides, Gr33nThum doesnt do that annoying sound when he talks. Those people like Bob have long been criticized for
64、their lack of necessary social skills. Critics think people almost forget how to naturally communicate with their neighbors, creating a social network of strangers.However, a report entitled “The Strength of Internet Ties” provides a different opinion. It suggests that the Internet helps develop soc
65、ial networks and make use of them when it matters most.Friends often move. As kids, our friends parents move away. As adults, we move away to college or for work. Communicative tools have made losing touch the result of laziness, not distance. “The larger and the more diverse (多样的) a persons network
66、 is, the more important email is，” argues Jeffrey Boase, who coauthored the report. “You cant make phone calls or personal visits to all your friends very often, but you can keep in touch with them regularly with the help of the Internet. That turns out to be very important.”In addition to expanding
67、 and strengthening the social ties people keep in the offline world, Internet and email provide a social and informational support group that helps people make difficult decisions and face challenges. “Internet use provides online users with a path to resources, such as access to people who may have
68、 the right information to help deal with family health problems or find a new job，” says John Horrigan, author of the report. “The Internet creates a new basis for community. Rather than relying on a single community for social support, people often must actively seek out a variety of appropriate pe

(要点1) However, a report suggests that the Internet can be of benefit to social networks. (要点2) It can serve as a tool to help people stay in regular touch with friends. (要点3) Besides, it supplies people with social and informational resources when they are faced with difficult situations.(要点4)
