Still happily together, Mayer Solen and Joann Oakes credit Senior-Net for "introducing" them not only to each other but also to a world of computer-literate over-60 s. "Senior-Net offers a forum where senior citizens can talk freely, help each other, and even console each other,"
Joann says. "Even though we are scattered across the country, we can share thoughts, opinions and concerns about issues that affect us. It’s like a big family. When Mayer and I travel around the country, we make it a point to look up other Senior-Net members."
Mary Furlong, founder of the 10-years-old network, says it is a painless way to socialize, especially for those recently widowed and reluctant to go out alone, and for the disabled. Senior-Net has more then 6 000 members across the United States.
Joann Oakes and Mayer Solen fell for each other just before Christmas in 1991. She had been watching from a distance as Mr. Solen flitted from one group of friends to another. Finally, the two began a conversation. They discovered they were both widowed. They talked on and on. At midnight, they said good night, turned off their computers and went to bed, Mr. Solen in the south-western state of Nevada, and Mrs. Oakes in the north-western state of Washington. From then on they talked nearly every day via their computers until their marriage.
Computers are playing Cupid for what seems to be an unlikely target—a generation that didn’t know the difference between a mouse and a modem until they reached 60. Now, older adults are plugged in to exchange gardening tips, debate religion ,or try to recall the lines of old time popular songs. The marriage between seniors and computers is, in fact, perfectly natural. They grew up in a time when people wrote weekly letters to each other and kept journals and diaries. A computer is an easier way to do the same.
With no risk of censure or rejection, grandfathers can let their hair down. Church-going people confess they are not really sure what they think about religion. People who always thought of themselves as conserved and "respectable" may be found flirting shamelessly with correspondents who live 500 miles away. If anyone dislikes the company or the discussion, they don’t have to be polite. "Just hit the control button and you’re gone," says Joann Oakes.
In the last paragraph, we can find that grandfathers ______.
选项
A、have long air
B、do not comb their hair
C、do not dress their hair
D、behave informally

D
