【翻译】

Catherine很喜欢脸书。有了脸书，不管她和她的家人相距多远都可以随时保持联络。

她可以看到她家人的照片以及状态更新。

有了脸书，她可以随时知道亲戚们的近况。

Catherine很爱脸书的另外一点就是，她看她家人发的状态时也不用担心时差。

每当她给父母或其他亲戚打电话时，

她总得考虑时差不同，以免吵醒了谁或打扰到正在做礼拜的人。

脸书是如此方便。

Catherine刚用脸书的时候，她的一些高中同学也加她为好友了。

一开始这并不影响她什么。

她乐于了解她在十几岁时认识的同学现在的成功。

她也喜欢了解谁有结婚了，谁怀孕了，去旅行了。

但是不久后，她发现自己在和她在脸书上了解的人做比较。

当她看到脸书上的朋友做的比她好很多，她开始觉得不开心。

她花了太多时间在脸书。

她花了很多时间与精力去看每个人的状态更新。Catherine开始思考。

看着脸书上五百多人的好友名单，她明白了有很多人并不是她的真朋友。

请根据你刚刚听到的文章回答问题19至问题21。

问题19：Catherine喜欢的脸书的一个尤为突出的便利是什么？

问题20：当她的同学加她为脸书好友时，Catherine怎样感觉的？

问题21：为什么Catherine后来感觉不开心？
