In Cuba, friends must be face to face to have a conversation. This is not a matter of courtesy, but because the Internet and other forms of modern communication are still a luxury on the island.Although almost everyone has a smartphone, ironically, the devices can only be used to receive and make phone calls. There is no accessing social media, no texting, no sending email.Internet access on mobile devices is limited to a few public parks. Having it in the comfort of one’s home is still only a dream. Except for a small elite—mostly senior government officials—no one has Internet at home.Getting connected with the Internet begins in small shops called Center Agent Telecommunications. There, vendors who have government authorization sell small pieces of paper, the size of a matchbox, containing Internet passwords.But that piece of paper is still nothing more than paper if it is not combined with a semi-open Internet connection, located in some parks and a handful of hotels.Recently, about 50 people were in the ParkBeachTownship, each holding a phone, chatting with friends or family abroad or catching up on social networks.1.Why is face to face communication not a matter of politeness in Cuba?A) Smartphones can only make phone calls.B) People prefer face to face communication to other forms of communication.C) Internet access on mobile devices is limited.D) Government officials suggested people should do so.2.What change has taken place in Cuba recently?A) Almost everyone had a smartphone.B) Mobile devices could connect to the Internet everywhere.C) Friends could communicate with each other face to face.D) Friends could chat on social networks in a few public parks.3.What helped bring about the change?A) Face to face communication.B) Government authorization.C) More and more public parks.D) More and more vendors.
