The Internet is becoming more and more important in our life. You can get a lot of information, make friends. share your ideas, send emails and chat at any time or anywhere. However, imagine you receive an email that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Why did the sender use all capital(大寫) letters? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the ‘Cap lock’ on the computer? The fact is, using all capital letters in an email means that people shout online. Virginia Shea’ s book, Netiquette, lists some ways of communicating(交流) properly with others on the Internet. Following are some of her suggestions.
◆First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer. Don’t write anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. Also, remember that the receiver cannot hear your voice, or see the expression(表情)on your face, so make sure your meaning is clear.
◆Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life. Don’t take anything without paying for it . Don’t use information that someone else has written, and say it’s yours. Don’t read other people’s email—you wouldn’t open your next –door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail, right? Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. It’s a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover.
◆Remember that people judge(判斷) you by your words as well as your actions, so do try to write well. Send polite, well-written email messages to others. If you’re not sure about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.
◆It’s OK to share your ideas online like chat rooms or message boards, but don’t argue(爭吵) with people . ‘Flame wars’ in online discussions can be interesting to read, but are often unfair(不公平) to other members of the group. Share your ideas, but remember that fighting on or offline is just not correct.
When you’re online, just as in ‘real’ life, try to respect (尊重) other people’s space and feelings. Remember, you’re not the only one traveling on this highway!

These days, many Chinese people are happy about a piece of news. What is it? China may become the second largest economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)體) in the world. It's only behind the US.

But is China the second richest country, too?

No. The economy is like a cake. The US, Japan and China each makes one. China makes the second biggest cake. But lots of people have to eat it. Why? There are 1.3 billion people in China. And there are only 300 million people in the US and 127 million in Japan. So, in China, each person only gets a very, very small piece of cake. But people in the US and Japan have bigger pieces.

China is not as rich as the US and Japan. For example, in the US, in every 100 people, 75 can surf the Internet; in Japan it is 74 in 100. But in China, only 26 people in 100 use the Internet.

China's large economy brings good things. People in China have more jobs and money. We also have more influence (影響) in the world.

1.China is the second largest economy in the world, isn't it?

2.Why isn't China as rich as the US and Japan?

3.How many people in 100 can use the Internet in China?

4.Who can get bigger pieces of cake, Chinese or Americans?

5.China's large economy brings good things. What are they?

Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback, but with a difference. The new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class, like lifting weights, balancing their diets and building physical endurance（耐力）.

Considering that 15% of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards（教育委員會）often “cut P.E. completely or decrease（減少）its teachers or the days it is offered,” says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is its short of a national standard.

The wisdom of the new idea has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how successful the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers have also found that teaching group sports like football results in less overall（全體的）movement, partly because the students who are unwilling to do may sit on the bench.

    Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small part of students continue playing them after finishing their high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood, which means kids are given skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life in their future.

1.Is the new Phys ed program different from the one before?

2.What does the new P.E. program teach the students?

3.According to the passage, what do some school boards do with P.E?

4.What are the problems with simply teaching group sports?

5.What’s the passage mainly about?

English writer teaches us a lot about life

    Charles Dickens is a great British writer in the 19th century. Most of his books are still popular even today.

    In 1812, Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England. Dickens didn't like playing with other boys when he was a little child, but he loved reading books. Childhood was not easy for Dickens. He began to work at a factory at the age of 12. Every day, he spent 10 hours washing bottles and cleaning shoes.

    When Dickens was 16, he became a reporter for a newspaper. During that time, Dickens wrote his first book, The Pickwick Papers. The book came out in 1836-37 and made Dickens rich and famous. His hard times were at an end.

    Most of Dickens' books are about the difficulties of living in Victorian England. The characters（人物）in his books are often children. They usually live a hard life in a boarding（寄宿）school, or have to work in a factory at a young age.

    However, Dickens' works are all about hope. He wrote sad and dark stories, but they are always filled with humor（幽默）. And most of his stories have happy endings, as with A Christmas Carol. It is about a selfish man. He finds love and friendship after looking back on his life one Christmas Eve.

2.Was life difficult for Dickens when he was a child?

3.What made Dickens rich and famous?

4.What do the children in his books usually do?

A farmer had some puppies (baby dogs) to sell. As he was putting up an ad on the edge of his yard, he felt a pull on his trousers. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the farmer, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost much money.”

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”

“Sure,” said the farmer.

And with that he called, “Here, Dolly!”

Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur (絨毛). The little boy’s eyes danced with joy. As the dogs made their way to the fence (柵欄), the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat awkward manner (笨拙地) the little pup began running toward the others, doing its best to catch up.

“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the smallest puppy.

The farmer knelt (跪) down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up (卷起) one leg of his trousers. In doing so he showed a steel brace (金屬支架) running down both sides of his leg and a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself , and he will need someone who understands.”

Actually our world is full of people who need someone who understands.

1. Who came to see the puppies?

2. Did he have enough money to buy a puppy?

3. How many puppies did the farmer have?

4. Why did the boy want the special dog?

5. What is the possible ending of the story?

One cool April 22 morning, people started the day as usual．Yet it was not a normal day． What’s so special about April 22? The answer is simple．It is Earth Day． People all over the world celebrate this important day．The idea of having a special day to celebrate Earth began in the 1960s．Life was very different then． Few people talked or even thought about the environment．Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were．

On April 22, 1970, twenty million （百萬） Americans joined the first Earth Day activities. They showed that people really did want to do something about the environment． Since then laws have been passed to protect the air, water, land, and animals．

The vehicles such as cars and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don’t cause too much pollution．Thanks to this law, cars today release （排放） about half as many bad chemicals as cars did back in 1970．As a result, the air we breathe is cleaner than it once was．

Rivers and lakes are also cleaner today than they were in the 1970s．It’s a good thing because they needed a lot of help．The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted that rubbish and oil on the river even caught fire! Today, the river is cleaner．It no longer burns． It’s healthy enough for birds, fish, and other animals．

Now the celebration has spread to other countries．More than 175 countries take part each year．

In 2007, people in China paid much attention to a big problem．People were throwing away 27 million plastic bags a day! People had “Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week．” They wanted everyone to see how polluted it was to throw away so many plastic bags．In 2008, China passed new laws against them．

Every April 22, millions get together to clean and protect Earth．They also celebrate how far we have come．Our job is to put this knowledge to work． You can help keep our planet healthy too!

1． Is Earth Day on April 22？

2． What caught fire on the Cuyahoga River？

3． How many countries take part in the celebration each year now？

4． Why did Chinese people have “Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week”？

5． What the purpose of celebrating the Earth Day？
