Learning how to use a computer is not optional (随意的) in today's world. Children must have computer skills to survive in the modern world. Most children are expected to have a general understanding of computers before entering elementary school. Children understand technology easily and need only a little guidance, patience and supervision (监督) along the way.
The first thing children should learn to use on a computer is the mouse. A child, as young as 2 years old, can learn to move the mouse around on the screen and click on the icon (图标). At first the parent should guide the child's hand on the mouse.
Children who know numbers and letters can learn to use the keyboard. The parent can open Microsoft Word and allow a child to play around with hitting the keys. The child will quickly learn that by hitting the “H” key, an “H” appears on the computer screen.
When the child is comfortable with the mouse and the keyboard, he can be introduced to kid friendly websites. A child must be taught never to click on anything other than the site the parent opened for him.
A child can send an email to family members using a subject line that states it is from the child rather than the parent. Then the parent can help the child spell out a simple message and send it to Grandma or an aunt or uncle. To teach the child how quickly the email travels from your computer to Grandma's, it is best to warn Grandma ahead of time so she can be waiting to respond right away.
Children can be introduced to age appropriate (适合年龄) games after they are comfortable with the mouse and the keyboard. Most public libraries allow children to borrow a wide array (大批) of games and programs.
1．Children are taught to use the keyboard after ________.
A．they can read
B．they go to school
C．they can use the mouse
D．they know numbers and letters
2．When children learn to surf the Internet, ________.
A．they can use the computer freely

D．parents should choose some websites appropriate for them
3．How can children know the email travels quickly
A．By reading books.
B．By telephoning Grandma.
C．By asking their parents.
D．By receiving response soon.
4．The passage is probably most helpful to ________.

Electronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.
More than one hundred seventy five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.
Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way，“I mean, it's just like a regular textbook, except it's got it all, online.”
Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said，“The world's changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.
A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don't have to carry a textbook around, so that's nice.”
But another student said，“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”
Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It's good.”
Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.
5．One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that ________.
A．they're more expensive
B．they can't be used if the computer is offline
C．they're soon out of date
D．reading online does harm to students' eyes
6．Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy
A．He is offered a free computer to do his homework.
B．He doesn't have to do his homework at home.
C．He has access to the Internet to study at any place.
D．He needn't share a computer with his sister to do homework.
7．What can we learn from the passage
A．All students like digital textbooks because they are new.
B．Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.
C．Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.
D．The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks
8．The passage aims to ________.
A．report the use of electronic textbooks in school
B．show how to use electronic textbooks
C．encourage more schools to use electronic textbooks
D．tell readers electronic textbooks will replace regular textbooksSection Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading

Electronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.
More than one hundred seventy five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.
Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way，“I mean, it's just like a regular textbook, except it's got it all, online.”
Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said，“The world's changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.
A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don't have to carry a textbook around, so that's nice.”
But another student said，“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”
Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It's good.”
Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.
5．One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that ________.
A．they're more expensive
B．they can't be used if the computer is offline
C．they're soon out of date
D．reading online does harm to students' eyes
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”可推断出，这个学生认为电子教材的一个不利之处就是：当连接不上因特网的时候，电子教材就没法使用。故B项正确。
6．Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy
A．He is offered a free computer to do his homework.
B．He doesn't have to do his homework at home.
C．He has access to the Internet to study at any place.
D．He needn't share a computer with his sister to do homework.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“My family only has one ... It's good.”可知， Hakim家只有一台电脑，之前他和妹妹都需要上网做作业，必然会出现电脑之争。现在做作业不用和妹妹共用一台电脑了，他当然感到高兴。
7．What can we learn from the passage
A．All students like digital textbooks because they are new.
B．Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.
C．Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.
D．The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“There are also after school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county.”可知，学生也可以在computer clubhouses做作业，所以C项正确。其他选项文中没有提到。
8．The passage aims to ________.
A．report the use of electronic textbooks in school
B．show how to use electronic textbooks
C．encourage more schools to use electronic textbooks
D．tell readers electronic textbooks will replace regular textbooks
解析：选A 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了美国费尔法克斯郡公立学校使用电子教材的情况，文章并没有教我们如何使用电子教材，也没有鼓励学校使用电子教材，更没有提到电子教材会取代普通教材。所以答案为A项。
