I began to send e-mails when I was 17. I discovered Google 5 years later. Now , I use the Internet all the time . Internet has become so popular that 90 percent(%) of 12-to-17-year-olds in the United States use the Internet, and about half of these children use it every day. They visit chat rooms and send e-mails. They go to websites to get information for their homework.
“Kids are now living in a virtual(虚拟的)world,” says Greenfield, an expert at the University of California, “As the Internet is becoming more and more important for our life, we should worry about one question: Is the Internet good or bad for kids?”
“ It’s X to answer the question because the Internet involves(涉及) so many things,” says Justine, who is from Northwestern University. “They include online computer games, news, messages and even e-mails to your grandmother.” So, more and more people believe that the online world can be helpful in some ways but dangerous in others.
“Although it is not easy to tell whether it’s good or bad, ”says Justine, “the Internet, at least , is very useful and can be used widely by everyone in the world.”

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to those places, you can go and see a colour film about them. or you can read travel books.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first kind is those that give a personal, subjective(ltd,) idea of travels which the writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their travelling experiences with others. The second kind is those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind is those books which are called "a guide" to some place. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind. they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel books you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an eye open for its date of publication( 出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it's easy to find the useful information for your travel.

A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places

You may have noticed that the world's population is not evenly distributed (分别) around our planet. There are some countries where people seem to be living nearly on top of each other because conditions are overcrowded. Then there are others where it seems that hardly anybody lives. What influences this unequal distribution of people? There are specific advantages and disadvantages of living in a certain area.
The two main factors that influence people's choice of location are climate and resources. Climate is the usual weather conditions in a region. Areas that have bad weather are generally less deal as places to live in. The north and south poles at the top and bottom of the world may be beautiful in their rugged, natural way, but the disadvantage of the bitterly cold and windy conditions usually keeps people away. When it comes to climate, warm conditions and a normal amount of rainfall are advantage that attract people.
Natural resources are things that we get from nature and that help us survive. Each region offers different resources, and therefore attracts different groups of people. People who enjoy the beach can make their living by catching and selling the ocean's many fish and other sea creatures. Those who prefer farming can take advantage of rich soil (土壤) in valleys near rivers. Some people are willing to accept the disadvantages of the terrible conditions of deserts or mountains in order to take advantage of the resources like oil or woods.

( )44. Why do people go and live in valleys near rivers?
A. The temperature isn't too low in winter.
B. the resources like oil can bring them much money.
C. People can make their living by catching and selling fish.
D. It's easier for people to grow plants or keep animals.

七、任务型阅读1
Oct. 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It reminds people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.
Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.
So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.
When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.
Title: Introduction to World Food Day
The UN’s purpose(目的) to start this day To remind people not to 84 food and fight hunger.
Facts of food shortage 85 1,000 million people are hungry each year. 15 million children die of hunger each year.
86 for food shortage There are more natural 87 now.
The number of people is becoming 88 .
◆The problem of food waste is 89 all over the world.
90 to stop food waste 91 order more than you can eat at a restaurant. Take the rest of food home if you can’t eat all you’ve ordered. Be sure not to 92 more food at home than you need.
Conclusion Everyone should know the 93 of saving food.
