The Internet has opened up a whole new on-line world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. __1__ Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.
For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. __2__ If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. __3__ If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
__4__ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. __5__ At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.
A．It's natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.
C．Everyone was new to the network once.
D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E．When you send short messages to a person on line, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F．You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

Recently our class have a heated discussion about whether students should make friends online or not. Different people have different ideas.
Some people say yes. The Internet helps make many friends. Chatting online, students can express their feelings and opinions freely, and even get help with their foreign language study.
Others, however, hold the opposite opinion. They say making friends online is a waste of time, which may affect their study. Besides, some students get cheated online.
It’s my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can find it in our classmates and other people around us.

A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers’ report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam. 网]
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.

MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents’ worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.
For teenagers, it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after-school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances(熟人). But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace,” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace.
“Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace,” said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会). The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace-related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children,” Buchanan said.
1. From the passage, we can learn that MySpace .
A. brings about the generation gap
B. is very careful about people’s privacy
C. encourages you to list your personal information
D. lists the telephone numbers of your friends
2. What can we infer from “Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace”?
A. MySpace has become a top issue troubling parents.
B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.
C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.
D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.
3. The writer’s attitude towards MySpace is .
A. negative B. positive
C. optimistic D. objective
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Internet Safety B. MySpace
C. Generation Gap D. The Digital Era
