We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互联网), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made 'surfing' (浏览) the Internet more convenient. Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

1.第二段开头讲互联网是在60年代建立的,故至今历史已超过30年。

2.文中第二段阐明计算机网络工作状况不好(didn't work well)。 3.第三段中说明大学、医院等都被允许使用电脑,然而,计算机仍然很贵,并且网络很难使用。

4.由第三段最后几句介绍可知,到90年代,计算机便宜且好用。科学家也发展了软件使网上浏览更方便。而本题干用了not…until句型,译为“直到90年代早期人们才有足够的软件上网”。

One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn?t sure of that was on September 11.

I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.

My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn?t understand how something this terrible could have happened.

It wasn?t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I?ve learned also that you can?t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don?t come back. One moment they?re living and the next minute they?re not. And, it doesn?t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.

You try to learn from what happened. You can?t be used up by it. You can?t live by it. All you can do is just live.

1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.

A. terrible

B. bad

C. good

D. real

2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?

A. A fire starting C. A terrible accident

B. A plane flying D. An act of terrorism.

3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.

A. people should make the most of every minute they have B. he has become less tolerant towards others C. he should get worried about little things

D. life is too short to care about others.

4. What?s the best title of this passage?

A. A Report about September 11 B. The Tragedy of September 11 C. September 11 and My Family D. September 11 and My Turn.

参考答案 讲解:

1. C 见第一行,不管(no matter)事情多糟,总能发现有益的东西。 2. D 见第六行。

3. A 见倒数第三行。So we all need to make the most of every minute we have. 4. D

A strange thing happens to nearly everybody at night. They turn off the lights,pull up the covers and close their eyes. Six or seven sleeping hours later,they wake up again. Strange,isn't it?

Strange things happen during sleep. For example,they move often. You would feel tired if you didn't. You also dream. Part of your brain is still awake when you dream. Dreaming happens when the memory and imagination in parts of your brain are still awake. Experiments have shown most of us dream in color. Bad dreams may be caused by stomachache.

In 26th January,the biggest earthquake(地震) in India took the lives of 25,000 people. In the morning,when everybody was enjoying holiday,earthquake began. It was about 7.5 on the Ritcher scale. “There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down,”said one of the villagers alive. “There is no water,no food and no one has come to help.”

Nobody died in Pakistan,a country next to India. The City of Lahore was lucky. In Lahore American School,where I was studying,all of the students were safe. They were on the field,so most children didn't feel anything. The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However,though Mrs. Young was also on the second floor,she didn't feel anything. She didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr. Emend,the maths teacher from Australia,said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him,but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr. Emend felt better. Mrs. Davis and Mr. Frost didn't feel anything either.

My mother didn't feel anything. She didn't even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking (moving from side to side) light. My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many people going out.

“I don't like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua,a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?

One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent,he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you,from the time you were born. They do a lot for you,though something would make you angry,because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends,the food you eat,your work at school,how much sleep you

get,etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.

So how can you make things easier on yourself? It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility(责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.

Most of all,try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. Someday,when you become a parent,they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.
