Many children use the Internet to get useful knowledge and information, and to relax in their free time. But some of them are not using in a good way. Here are some rules to make sure you are safe and have fun on the Internet.
Make rules for Internet use with your parents. For example, when you can go on line, for how long and
what activities you can go on line.
※ Don't give your password (密码) to anyone else, and never leak out the following information-your real name, home address, age, school, phone number or other personal information.
※ Check with your parents before giving out a credit card (信用卡) number.
※ Never send a photo of yourself to someone in e-mail unless your parents say it's OK.
※ Check with your parents before going into a chat room. Different chat rooms have different rules and
attract different kinds of people. You and your parents will want to make sure it's a right place for you.
※ Never agree to meet someone you met on the Internet without your parents' permission. Never meet anyone you met on line alone.
※ Always remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Treat everyone online as strangers.
※ If something you see or read online makes you uncomfortable, leave the site. Tell a parent or teacher right away.
※ Treat other people as you'd like to be treated. Never use bad language.
※ Remember — not everything you read on the Internet is true.

　　For many of us，the idea of a family is a lot narrower than it used to be.Today children go away to college，and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins，many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers.
　　Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don't care deeply about them.
　　Whether we realize it or not，this feeling of being disconnected makes people feel kind of lonely. “People need to feel connected，”says Joy Browne，a doctor in the U.S. “And they will do it in the easiest ways.” When family members aren't connected，what could be easier than forming a connection to famous people
　　This isn't something unusual，of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It's natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that's unhealthy，because these relationships aren't two-way.
　　For that，we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents，aunts and cousins，and by telling them the children's latest activities and interests.
We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It's easy to send e-mails to grandpa better yet，take a vacation with members of your relatives-not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens，no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people，they can't be there to cry for us.
( )6. Which of the following does the writer seem to tell us
　 A. People should love famous people better than they love their relatives.
　 B. We should always take vacations with our own family members.
　 C. The idea of a family should stay the same.
　 D. The feeling of love should be two-way.
( )7. The writer talks about technology here to ______.
　 A. tell us the way to improve family relationship
　 B. encourage us to tell others what is happening
　 C. let us know something new about science
　 D. teach us how to send an e-mail
( )8. The reason why people feel lonely is that _______.
　　A. the famous people don't cry for them
　　B. people want better jobs and good schooling
　　C. people aren't as closely connected as before
D. kids today know little about their relatives
( )9. What does the writer write this passage for
　　A. To keep families from breaking. B. To tell us to care more about each other.
　　C. To be as helpful as we can. D. To advise families to keep closely connected.
( )10. In order to keep connected with our relatives, we should _________
A. send e-mail to grandpa B. take a vacation with members of our family
C. take a vacation with other persons D. A and B

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. It is mainly for teens. The book tells us that when facing changes in our life，like a new school or new friends，don't be afraid. Use this change to make a better life.
The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice，two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze(迷宫) looking for the cheese. Here，cheese means something important in life. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people can't do this. They are afraid of changes so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story，the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese，move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face，such as doing well at school or feeling good about yourself.

American country music is also known as country Western music. It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants from Britain.
Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops…People in many parts of the world like country music, because everyone can understand what the music is about.
Country Western music became popular first among cowboys in the American West countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well educated, so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played the guitar, the violin, and other instruments. In the south of America, many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played country Western music.
In recent years, many musicians have made country Western music a little different from that in the past.These changes make the songs sound even better.Today singers such as Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett，Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.They have brought country Western music more and more fans from all over the world.

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a while and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his head and said, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You'd only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the President of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？” asked she.
“No, I don't，” he said. “I don't think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘It's for you.’”
