A
Dear Sir/Madam,
①It is now common(常见的) to go online at home, yet a recent survey showed that ninetyfive per cent of parents do not know what websites their children visit. I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children.
②One advantage(优点) of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities. If they have a better understanding of the Internet, they will see the need to make sure that their children use it properly(合适地) and responsibly(有责任心地) .
③Another argument(争论) for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork. These days, a lot of homework needs to be done on computers. If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with homework, which can make them upset. Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently(独立地) on computers. However, it is clear that students, especially young students, often need this kind of home support.
④Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way for parents to improve their relationships with their children. These days, children spend a lot of their free time on computers. If parents want to be part of that free time, they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity. Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap(代沟) between them and their children.
⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way, so training is extremely important.
Yours faithfully,
Pat Chan

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced(浮出水面).I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape(逃跑). When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred(更喜欢) the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits ( 潜水服) that used special air tanks(氧气罐). These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries(电池). When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colors of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred meters under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs ( 灌 木 ) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

A. A kind of fish in the sea. B. A kind of plane in the sky.

The European Southern Observatory(ESO) reported that scientists found a new black hole, and it is the closest to the Earth now. It is about 1, 000 light years away. It's so close that the two stars nearest to it can be seen without a telescope(望远镜).
A thousand light years may not seem close. A light year is about 5.9 trillion(万亿) miles. But in terms of(就……来说) our galaxy(银河系), this object(物品) is in the neighbourhood. The second closest black hole is about 3, 200 light years from the Earth.
Black holes are usually the result of stars that have burned out. Black holes are so huge that they have a strong gravitational pull(万有引力). Nothing can run away from this pull, not even light. That's why we can't see them. Scientists can only find black holes because of the objects around them.
The ESO scientists noticed the stars around the black hole. They were studying a twostar system(系统) called HR 6819. They watched it for months, mapping the stars' orbits(轨道). The way the stars moved told them something else was there.
A scientist called Rivinius says the two stars are about 140 million years old. The black hole itself probably began forming(形成) 15 million years ago. There could be more black holes near the Earth. Other scientists agree with him. There may be 100 million to 1 billion of these objects in our galaxy. Avi Loeb is the director of Harvard University's Black Hole Initiative. “Maybe there are black holes much closer than this one, ” he says. “If you find an ant while scanning a small fraction(小部分) of your kitchen, you know there must be many more out there.”
( )39.We can see ________ without a telescope.
A. the closest black hole
B. the two stars nearest to the black hole
C. the light in the black hole
D. all of the things in the black hole
( )40.The second closest black hole is about ________ away from the Earth.
A. 5.9 light years B. 140 light years C. 1, 000 light years D. 3, 200 light years
( )41.About black holes, which one is TRUE
A. We can see black holes with a telescope.
B. Scientists found black holes by studying the objects around them.
C. Light can run away from black holes.
D. Black holes form because the objects in space have burned out.
( )42.The black hole began forming ________ the two stars near it.
A. 125 million years earlier than B. 155 million years earlier than
C. 125 million years later than D. 155 million years later than
( )43.What does Avi Loeb mean by saying the underlined sentence
A. It is possible that there are black holes much closer than this one.
B. Maybe there are 100 million to 1 billion black holes in our galaxy.
C. There are millions of stars near the Earth.
D. The black hole began forming earlier than the stars near them.

Do you often find yourself sitting or standing there, looking at a TV, a computer or cell phone Are you so
interested in them that you forget what time it is
If so, it’s very possible that you won’t be able to sleep well at night, according to a new study from the National Sleep Club in our city.
The study shows that the use of electronics like TVs and cell phones before bedtime leads to a bad night’s sleep.
Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep.
According to the study, about 95 percent of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed. They have their eyes on a TV screen, a laptop or a cell phone within an hour of bedtime at least a few nights a week. Among them, more and more young people—especially those under 20—are using cell phones and laptops right before bed.
So, what’s the key to eight hours of sleep each night
Doctors strongly advise you to do more exercise and sleep at a regular time, what’s more, you’d better turn off cell phones, TVs, and all other screens, as soon as the sun goes down.
