The Internet is not perfect. There are many problems with it.
The Internet is not organized. There is no one in charge of the Internet. It is sometimes difficult to find what you are looking for. It is also easy to get the wrong information on the “Net”.
Some businessmen cheat people on the Internet. Internet thieves can steal credit card numbers. Some advertisers send spam to e mail boxes. E mail boxes are often filled with these unwanted advertisements.
Illegal businesses can operate on the Internet. These businesses sell X rated materials, cigarettes and alcohol to teenagers. The Internet has websites with information about making bombs, breaking the law and terrorism. Criminals can fool people, especially children, in chat rooms. They can spread poisonous information and attack new members.
The Internet is the greatest advance in communication since human emerged. But it can also be like a dark alley in a dangerous part of town. Parents need to set parental controls on their children when they use the Internet. This will keep some of the bad materials away from their children.
The Internet can be dangerous to computers, too. Some people who have evil intentions enjoy causing problems for other people they don’t even know. They create computer viruses. A computer can get viruses by downloading a program that has a virus in it. Some viruses come by e mail.
A virus can destroy the data a person has saved in computer files. A virus can cause a computer to crash. A virus can also reproduce itself! It can send copies of itself to everyone on a person’s e mail address list. Then these people’s computers will have the same problems and can’t work normally!

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters (恶魔). The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.
Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can’t stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick (手柄) controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play so much that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: the muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed (发炎) and swollen (充血红肿) that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior’s Wrist”.
Other strange aches and pains are also likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.
Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17 year old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness (晕倒) and fell to the floor.
Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.

A. people living in towns B. students studying in high schools
C. girls working in their fathers’ workshops D. young people

The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial (帝王的) palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early 15th century, large size construction caused 100, 000 common people to lead a hard life. The construction took 14 years and was finished in 1420. In the following year, the capital of Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Twenty four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled from the Forbidden City. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court. It was not until 1925 that the complex buildings were changed into a museum. Since then, the Palace has been opened to the public.
The Palace Museum is rectangular (长方形) in shape, about 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from west to east. There is a 10 meter high wall, encircled by a 52 meter wide moat (护城河). In the Ming Dynasty, the wood needed for the building was brought mostly from Sichuan and Hunan Provinces, while in the Qing Dynasty, it was cut from the northeast of China. Most of the stones were mined from the suburban (郊外的) district of Fangshan and other districts. Construction of the Forbidden City brought huge hardship to the laboring people.
The Palace is the largest piece of ancient Chinese architecture (建筑) still standing. Some of the buildings were damaged by lightning and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Palace has been expanded several times, but the original design was preserved. After liberation, some costly renovations (翻新) were done and the Palace Museum is listed as one of the important historical sites under special preservation by the Chinese government.

Petra may be the treasure of the world, hidden among mountains. Its most beautiful scenery makes it the greatest ancient site still standing mon sense says, “Perhaps there’s nothing on the planet that resembles it.” Without doubt, there’s nothing in the world that resembles it. The rock carved (雕刻的) rose red town of Petra is filled with mysterious charm; it had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”.
Petra is the most well known and beautiful site in Jordan that is about 262 km south of Amman, and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 km north of it. It was the legacy from the Nabataeans, who settled in the southwest of Jordan a lot more than 2, 000 years back. Because of its excellent culture, buildings and many water channels, Petra has become a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the world that attracts visitors all over the world.
To get there, you must pass through a kilometer long, cool, dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) whose two high sides keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra’s most well known monuments (遗址), which glow in the bright sun. The old town shows the visitors its beautiful look. It leads people to think about the creativity of the Nabataeans who made Petra as their capital.
Petra flourished for more than 400 years at about the time of Rome until it had been occupied by the Roman legions in 106 AD. Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone.
Petra sights are in their finest at the beginning of morning and late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones, you will see the greatness of Petra since it was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost through the 16th century for nearly 300 years!
