Questions from a Given Passage
Example
1:
Read the following passage and answer the
questions that follow:
While Boyd allows that some people consider email or discussion lists
to be Social Software, he makes an important distinction between traditional
communication software and Social Software. He explains that traditional software
places people into groups with a top-down approach; in other words, it assigns
membership. However, Social Software takes a bottom-up approach, which enables
people to organize themselves into a network based on their preferences.
Therefore, with a bottom-up approach, people can sign up for a system and build
communities using their personal preferences (Marenzi et al., 2008). In
contrast, traditional communication software uses a top-down approach where
people are assigned into a specific organization or groups. Social Software
based on supporting individuals who interact socially with people who have
similar interests (Marenzi et al., 2008). In addition, users typically enjoy
Social Software itself and work with various Social Software applications voluntarily.
For example, the authors of social media enjoy content that they have created
themselves, content that is copied from other media, and mash-ups that contain
a mix of content that could possibly be from several authors (Ahonen and
Lietsala, 2007). The popularity of social technologies is attributed to the
increase in low-cost tools and the critical mass of millions of people who are
now connected to the Internet and to the people’s need to feel like part of a
community (Avram, 2006). These users tend to rely more on their own personal
social networks than on traditional business structures. (vinson 2005)
describes additional features of Social Software tools: they allow people to
easily participate (by both contributing and reading) in the activities; they
provide opportunity for networking and allow for the self-forming of networks
since people are usually both consumers and producers; and each individual can
be a member on several networks simultaneously (Avram, 2006).

(A)
Social interaction
(B)

(C)
Enjoying social software
(D) (A)
and (C) are correct.
