In so many ways, cyberspace (电脑空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friend ship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts -- or at least the thoughts they type -- are what really counts. So, even the shyest per son can become a chat-room star.

C. Because people look for love in cyberspace.
D. Because people can do lots of daily things in cyberspace.
