The Internet has both advantages and disadvantages.
Communication
Now we can communicate with a person who is sitting in another part of the world almost for free. There are plenty of online messenger services that offer this service. With the help of such service, it has become very easy to establish a kind of global friendship where you can share your thoughts and explore other cultures.
Information
Access to information is one of the biggest advantages of the Internet. Almost any kind of information on any topic under the sun can be found on the Internet. Search engines like Google or Yahoo are at your service on the Internet. You can find almost any type of data on almost any kind of subject.
Entertainment
Entertainment is another popular reason why many people like to surf the Internet. There are numerous games that may be downloaded from the Internet for free. Chat rooms are popular because users can meet new and interesting people. When people surf the web, they can find numerous things. Music, hobbies, news and more can be found and shared on the Internet.
Service
Much service is now provided on the Internet such as online banking, job seeking, purchasing tickets for your favorite movies, and hotel reservations.
But there are also disadvantages. If you use the Internet, your personal information such as name, address, credit card number, etc. might be accessed by other people. Virus (病毒) threat is another problem. Virus attacks can end up crashing your whole hard disk, causing you much headache. Pornography (色情作品) is perhaps the biggest threat related to children’s healthy mental life. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found.
On the whole, the Internet’s advantages overweigh its disadvantages.

Some countries have a large number of earthquakes. Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (颤动)．Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to turn over. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy.
Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes (火山), but it is not true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.
A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute. Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco (1906) and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete (混凝土) walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that can’t burn or fall easily.

Parents should help their children understand money. __1__So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
The basic function of money

If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier (收银员). __2__When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex (复杂的) ways of using money.
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. __3__ If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “you have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
__4__
Begin at the grocery store.Pick out two similar brands (商标) of a product — a name brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. __5__ If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

B．The value of money

D．Permit the child to choose between them.

When we don’t understand each other’s language, we can talk with the help of signs.
A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it, and took out again. He wanted to say.“Bring me something to eat.”The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee. But the man again refused it. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food. When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hand on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.
So you see, we cannot understand the language of signs as well as we can understand the language of words.

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you what the most important in your life is, maybe you will say “computers and the Internet”．
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked very 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, go 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. They are so interested in making “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.

Knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. By using your time properly, you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.
The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn’t mean that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to learn. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things. Knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life. Knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly. Learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.
Here’s some advice for you: have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions; have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books; be sure you understand what you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing, first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing; check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.

Every year, I tell my sons what I’d like for Mother’s Day: a letter, something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly. I don’t always get my wish, nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother.
This year, my boys will be in two different states on Mother’s Day. My mom and dad will be away together, and I’ll be driving home from a writer’s workshop in Massachusetts. Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children, I am deeply grateful that what separates us, for now at least, is only distance. It won’t always be so, and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is. My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e mail, and that is enough as I love their words. The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness, the very fact of their busy, full and well lived lives.
Still, knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over, I do feel doleful. The truth is, I miss being the center of the universe to two little boys. And this holiday can be a bit painful.
I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic (怀旧的，乡愁的) for the passing of my childhood. I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been. I don’t often pause to think about it, but of course she is the one who has been right there, at my side from the moment I drew my very first breath. How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and love and example have shaped me into the adult I am？How to describe even a small part of the sharing, sacrificing, and support she has given me over the years
