三、超强语感
Internet is now coming into our life. It brings us not only a lot of convenience, happiness but also troubles.
Some students use Internet as a tool to study. They look up the meanings of new words, the background of an event or a story, the information of a company or a famous person, etc. They also read news or send e-mails through it. Internet helps them learn more and study well.
Every coin has two sides. Some students play games, chat with friends, and see the pictures or films even the unhealthy ones on the Internet the whole day. They are not interested in their subjects. It’s very dangerous for them.
The Internet’s advantages and disadvantages are shown clearly to us. I think we should make good use of it and stay away from the unhealthy websites.

I’m Jenny. I’m a movie lover and I want my kids to like movies, too. The first time I took my daughter, May, to the movie theater, she was 6 and the movie was Bambi. I chose it because I thought a cartoon (卡通) movie would be good to her.
Everything was going just fine and Bambi was so cute. But when a man killed Bambi’s mother, my daughter began to cry and asked to go home. So we left before the movie ended. Later I chose movies more carefully and my daughter watched many great ones. Luckily, she likes movies as much as I do now.
My worry is: Are cartoons really safe for kids
Once I sat on the sofa to watch a cartoon with my 8-year-old son, Nick. I got dumbfounded when I saw a man in the cartoon was bleeding (流血) in front of us. The cartoon was like an action movie (动作片) for adults!
The next time you take a kid to the movie theater, be careful. Maybe a cartoon isn’t the best. You should take the time to watch it first (It’s a habit with me.). Or the kid may get messages he or she isn’t prepared to get.

Now many foreigners (外国人) like to choose a Chinese name for themselves. 36 Maybe they should know the following things about Chinese names first.
First, there is something different between a Chinese name and a western (西方的) name. 37 A Chinese name puts the family name first and the given name last.
Second, Chinese given names usually have meanings (意义). 38 For example, “丽” shows that the parents want their child to be beautiful; “健” shows that the parents wish their child to be healthy.
It’s a good way for foreigners to pick a Chinese name that sounds like their western name. But it would be better to use Chinese words that carry special meanings at the same time. For example, if a girl’s name is Macy, she can pick “美 诗” as her Chinese name. 39
Picking a right Chinese name is never easy. 40 Would you like to pick a Chinese name for your foreign friend
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. It sounds close to Macy and has a good meaning.
B. Most of the time, one’s name carries good wishes from his parents.
C. But some of them have got very funny Chinese names.
D. One has to know something about Chinese culture and history.
E. A western name puts the given name first and the family name last.

Let us take an 2 . Man, even five hundred years ago , was 3 than he is today. Now, on average(平均), men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may 4 that man will continue to grow taller.
Again, in the modem world we 5 our brains a great deal. But even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’ s capacity(能力). As time 6 on , however , we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the 7 , in particular, the forehead(前额), will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact , we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear 8 . But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the 9 time, however , our fingers ,will grow more sensitive(敏感的) 10 they are used a great deal in modern life.
