READING SECTION

Based on the following reading, answer the questions 19-20

Friends
Research by a British anthropologist shows that the optimum number of friendships that
the human brain can maintain is about 150. But that’s in the real world. What happens
on Facebook where the maximum number of ‘friends’ permitted is 5000? According to
social networking statistics, the average Facebook user has 130 friends. Some people
have a lot more. Ivy Bean from Bradford in the north of England became Facebook’s
oldest known user at the age of 102 in 2008. She quickly started making friends and
became an online celebrity. When she maxed out her 5000 friend count on Facebook
Ms. Bean joined the Twitter website and continued her social networking. At the time of
her death in July 2010, she had 4,962 friends on Facebook and more than 56,000
followers (including the Prime Minister’s wife) on Twitter. Ms. Bean’s last tweet was July
6 2010. It read, “Going to have my lunch now will be back later.’’
