Over the past 20 years，the Internet has greatly influenced our world and changed our lives. The Internet makes it much e 1 for people to search for information. For example，when we write a history report, we don’t have to go to the library. We can find information about world leaders and historical events on different websites. Everything we want to know can be found at the click of a button.
The Internet helps us to stay connected to family, friends and the world around us. Not long ago,we wrote letters by h 2 and waited weeks for a reply. Today, when we use QQ, we send and receive messages across thousands of miles in a few seconds.
The Internet gives us a way to express our opinions in p 3 . We share interesting ideas with other people on QQ，Baidu Tieba, blogs or forums(论坛）. If we dislike the food at school, we can discuss it in the school’s forum or in the Tieba of our own class.
A 4 the Internet has made our world better in many ways, in some ways it can be a bad influence. There is a lot of false information on the Internet. It is important not to believe a 5 we read on the Internet.
In addition, many teenagers choose to keep in touch with each other online instead of meeting face-to-face. People w 6 that this harms their social communication skills.
Some teenagers spend too much time playing Internet games. They may lose focus on their studies.
There are millions of interesting sites to visit and so many wonderful things to do online. How could we live without the Internet nowadays? But remember to use the Internet properly and wisely. Try to let the Internet be your good s 7 ，not your bad master!
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon became “the most famous detective in the world”. What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes will show you.
In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr. Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood’s plan to control the world with black “magic”.
Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.
Rule No. 1 ： Justice (正义）is the most important
No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The difference is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.
Rule No. 2 ： Have sharp eyes
Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man’s footprints and quickly find out his personal information like age and habits.
Rule No.3 ： A good assistant is a great help.
Even though Holmes has knowledge about many subjects, such as chemistry, botany(植物学）and anatomy, he still needs Dr. Watson?s help to fight with him. We should also have someone to help you, especially if you don’t know as much as Holmes.
Rule No. 4 ： Logic(逻辑）is the key.
A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you’d better think carefully. If you can’t work it out, don’t be afraid. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.
