五、 读写综合(本大题分为A、B两部分，共25分)
A. 信息归纳(共5小题，每小题1分)
仔细阅读以下材料，并按信息表中的项目要求填写信息。
The Internet was firs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. The computer network didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough for many different computers to use. If part of the network didn’t work, people could send information through another part. In this way, the computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first, only the gov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ernment used the Internet. In the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists also developed software (软件) to make surfing the Internet easier.
Today it is very easy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to get online. Millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending emails is more popular among students.
The Internet is one of the most important parts in our lives now.

But if you are addicted to it, it’ll be quite harmful to you. It not only is bad for your health but also has a bad influence on your study.
I think you should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )take part in some meaningful activities in your free time. We all know you are a cute boy. You will do better in your study if you spend less time playing computer games.
Yours,
Richard
