A

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?”, maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”

The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”

The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.

Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex (性别). They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their heart into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.

We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.

1. The Internet cannot be used for __________．

       A. studying      B. shopping          C. thinking      D. playing

2. When the computer was invented, it was__________．

       A. large and worked quickly           B. small and worked slowly

       C. large but worked slowly            D. small but worked quickly

3. The Internet was born in about __________．

       A. 1960              B. 1970           C. 1980          D. 1985

4. What does the writer think of the Internet?

       A. It is wonderful.              B. It can make students study harder.

       C. It is not good for students.      D. It is helpful, but we can’t do everything on

Anita is a 28-year-old designer. She works at home and she doesn't meet any people. Two months ago Anita saw an advertisement for a computer dating organization. She decided to try and find a boyfriend by computer. She filled in the organization's questionnaire and paid five pounds. Two weeks later she received a phone-call from her first date. Anita told me what happened. "I'm a very shy person. I wrote in the questionnaire that I wanted somebody very different from me."

Somebody finds conversation easy. Somebody is an extrovert（性格外向的人）." I met this man sent by the organization in a restaurant the following day. It was terrible. He was so shy he didn't talk to me all evening. Every time he looked at me, his face turned red." The second man sent to her was worse than the first. Anita is quiet. She likes films, plays, reading, listening to classical music. She doesn't smoke or drink. He was a tall, chain-smoking sports fan who spent all his spare time in public. "He told me that he hated all the things I love. It was completely crazy." Anita said. She has now told the organization not to sent any more "computer" boyfriends.

　　When she moved the covering cloth to look upon his tiny face, she was shocked. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
　　Time proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be full of heart- breaks for his imperfect appearance.
　　He grew up, handsome for his misfortune and popular with his fellow students. He might have been class monitor，but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.

　　Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person turned up. His talents blossomed into genius, and his school and college became a series of success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic service.
　　One day ,he urged his father, “Who gave so much for me？I must know! I could never do enough for him.”
　　“I do not believe you could, ” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”
　　The years kept their secret, but the day did come--- one of the darkest days that a son must endure. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket (棺材). Slowly, tenderly, the father reached out a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to show that the mother had no outer ears.

 “Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut, ” he whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？”
　　Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance，but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what can be seen，but in what cannot be seen. Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what is done and not known.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northernEurope, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

    Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobsters（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.    

12. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to __________ .

A. give birth              B. enjoy warmer weather  

C. find food more easily     D. find beautiful places

13. The mice in northernEuropemove when __________ .

14. The lobsters move __________ .

   A. to the fresh water              B. to the sea floor

   C. at a certain time               D. to find more food

15. What is the main idea of the passage?

 A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.

 B. The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.

 C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.

D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress

　　Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 16 Some ways of dealing with stress- like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve（解决）much. But other ways, like talking

to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

　　Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1)   Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 17 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2)   Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 18

(3)   Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business.19 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

(4)   Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

　　These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 20

 

A.   Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B.   Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.

C.   Different people feel stress in different ways.

D.   Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

E.    You need to figure out what the problem is.

F.    And don't forget about your friends.

G.    Then, find a way to calm down.
