 Mike: Hey, Amanda, have you heard of the new online computer game? It's called Skullfire and it's all the rage 1 right now!


Amanda: Actually, I have heard of it. Isn't that the game where you go around and just shoot people? It seems like a pretty pointless game to me.
Mike: You're kidding, right? I can spend hours playing that game. Besides, what better use is the Internet?
Amanda: Um, let's see, off the top of my head there's checking your e-mail and looking up current 2 news headlines. You could even do some online shopping. The Internet is like a virtual 3 library, where you can get your hands on almost any kind of information you're looking for. How can you be so ignorant 4?
Mike: Since you're such an expert, what sort of things do you suggest I look up?
Amanda: Well, a considerable 5 problem right now is a lack of natural resources 6 and a rise in gas prices. Why don't you go online and try to understand the situation better? You should really try to keep up with current events.
Mike: I keep up with current events! I read the newspaper every day!
Amanda: Does it still count if you only read the comics and skim 7 the articles?
Mike: It's not my fault that current events are boring.
