OK, I admit it: emoticons (表情符號) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.
Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast (抨擊) the use of emoticons as “infantile (幼稚的) just like the people who use them” He believes that words themselves should be enough. “If you’re being funny, happy or sad, that should be
apparent (明顯的) from the comment that goes before the emoticon,” he argues.
In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. “Men don’t use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there’ s an emoticon gene.”
It’s an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.
In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed “to seek out representations of humanity”. He believes that they appeal not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into (融入) something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.
All of these arguments may be somehow valid (正確的). Each one of us will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. I’d rather let my words do the talking.
Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this. I don’t regard any of my friends as lazy or immature (不成熟的). It’s just a question of individuality. :)
43．According to the article, emoticons are popular because ______.
A. most of them look funny
B. they are easy for lazy people to use
C. they add feeling and character to a communication
D. a reader cannot understand a message without them
44．Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with?
A. Instant Message chatters are childish.
B. It’s enough to use language in digital communication.
C. Men never use emoticons.
D. There is an emoticon gene in everybody.
45．From the text, we can conclude that the author ______.
A. feels he has no difficulty using emoticons
B. thinks emoticons don’t suit him
C. encourage his friends to use emoticons
D. believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone
46．What is the main point of the article?
