Ⅰ. 阅读理解
During a break at work last spring, I took a quick glance at my social media account. I had several notifications, and one of them was a friend request. I looked more closely at the screen and saw my grandmother’s picture next to the request. “Barbara Haywood sent you a friend request,” the notification stated. Maybe it was a joke. I hated to think that someone could have opened an account under my grandmother’s name.
I called my mom at the end of the workday. “I have a friend request from Mammie. Is it really from her?” I asked.
“It is,”my mom confirmed. She explained that my uncle Buster had helped her set up the account. “That is so awesome,”I said. I opened my app and wrote a welcome message on my grandmother’s page.
Mammie learned about social media gradually. At first, she simply “liked” pictures of the family. After a while, she figured out how to add comments. Her proficiency is not of great importance. It’s the fact that she’s on social media and has access to pictures of her family on a daily basis.
My grandmother has four children, ten grandchildren,and ten great-grandchildren. We all live fairly close to her, but we also lead very busy lives. And though we invite Mammie to many performances and games, her lack of mobility limits her attendance. Now that she has a social media account, she doesn’t have to miss a thing. She can keep up with the latest trends and view vacation pictures.
However, she has a special way of commenting on posts. She calls us all her doll babies, and she always signs her comments, “Love, Mammie.” A friend asked me the other day if I was going to tell her that she didn’t need to sign her name at the end of her comments. “I sure am not,”I told my friend. “She can use social media however she wants. I’m not criticizing a thing about what she does.”
