By now, you may shake your head, but wait, let ’s try to put the problem into p erspective Generally.it ’s safe for kids to use the Internet. The number of sites considered harmful is between 1% and 3%, which shows about 5 million other sites are interesting and educational. Besides, to stop children from using these services just because crimes are being committed online would be like telling them not to attend college because students may have accidents on campus.
What can parents do to protect their children from those harmful sites? The simplest solution is the use of programs which block offensive sites. Such programs are set to screen out certain words likely to appear on “unhealthy ” sites. But many sites inappropriate to young people are clever at using words with double meanings that may appear harmless. What&39;s more, not only do the programs fail to do the job satisfactorily, they also take away the decisive role of parents in children ’s education. A child who downloads bad information or pictures can only be corrected by positive family influence. No filtering program is necessary for a child who has learned to say “no” to sites he knows are inappropriate for him.
Today, when children are exposed to technology at a young age, parents often find themselves lagging behind in computer skills. Surprisingly, this may be the key to your involvement. What is better way to learn about the Internet than to do so alongside your children? They’ll most likely pick it up more quickly than you do, of course, but you ’ll have the chan see, and take pride in, your child at work. You may search for information that interests your child together with him and get to know the “friends ” he has online, just as you would get to know his other friends.
Thoughtful parents would combine supervision with communication, which is the best wav to take advantage of the Internet as a resource while protecting their children. Follow their examples and have fun with kids on the Net!
According to the passage, is it wise for parents to keep their children away from the computer? Why?
A.No. Because there are also millions of sites which are interesting and educational.
B.No. Because their children have the right to use computer,
C.Yes. Because there are many rubbish sites which may hurt children.
D.Yes. Because children may become addicted to computer games.
In the last two paragraphs, parents are advised to__________A.learn about the Internet along with their children

t that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.
Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?
All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.
If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a difficult living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath ” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.

C.a neat line of things side by side
D.a journey in a boat
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A.Changing our jobs
B.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy
C.Speaking out about our frustrations
D.Reading the Bible
“Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” probably means “______”.A.Don’t let your anger last long

第4题
icked berries or dug up roots to eat. Four of them chose poisonous food and died. The remaining six noticed that their food was safe to eat. They told their children, who, in turn, passed the message on to their descendants. In this way, habit became a vital factor in the survival of mankind: if you ate the right plant, you lived; if you wanted to make your own experiments, you would probably die.
The importance of habit on the survival of the human species is an interesting matter. Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before. Even if the food or drink is offered by a friend, we are usually not at all anxious to experiment and accept the offer.
When you get up tomorrow morning, notice which shoe or sock you put on first. Then notice which one you put on first on other days. You may discover that (a) you tend to put on one shoe or sock first every day, and (b) if you are right-handed, you usually deal with your left shoe or sock first. If you try to change this habit, you may find it uncomfortable or annoying, and you will soon return to your old habit.
When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep in one or two favorite ways. We often follow familiar routes even when they are not the shortest or best. We often wear a watch on the same wrist even when there is no real reason for doing so. In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too. We must be alert and not let a beneficial factor become a harmful one.
The best title for this passage might be ______.
A.Habit-a Barrier to Progress
B.The Survival of Mankind
C.Various Patterns of Human Behavior
D.We are Creatures of Habit
The first paragraph of this passage is mainly about ______.A.the danger of making experiments
B.the importance of habit in the survival of mankind
C.the food our distant ancestors ate
D.the behavior of younger generation
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A.Habit can be harmful to the development of mankind
B.People usually like to taste new things at the risk of their lives
C.Most people hesitate to eat new things they have never tasted before
D.People are usually willing to try a new food if it is offered by a friend
The example shown in Paragraph 3 proves that ______.A.it is difficult to change a habit
B.habit can be changed easily
C.shoes and socks are essential in our daily life
D.everyone puts on shoes and socks in the morning whether he is right-handed or left-handed
From the last paragraph we know that in the writer ’s opinion ______.A.habit can never become a harmful factor
B.people develop all their habits with good reasons
C.habit will always help people to make progress
D.people often behave in fixed patterns

One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that’s when I met him.

ause of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country . An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. With in hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.
