Facebook is the largest social networking site (社交网站) in the word.

We asked two British teenagers, Patrick and his sister Antonia, questions about this site.

Why did you join Facebook?

Patrick: Many of my friends were on it and he said it was good!

How much time do you usually spend on the site?

Patrick: About an hour a day.

Antonia: When I'm at home, around four hours a week, but when I'm away, not more than 30 minutes a week.

What do you use Facebook to do?

Patrick: To communicate and make plans with friends.

Antonia: I use it to keep in touch with people in other countries, and see what my friends are doing from photos taken by them.

Are you careful about what you post?

Patrick: Yes, because anything you post on the Internet is there forever — it can always be found! And I don't post anything that might offend (冒犯) others.

Antonia: I am careful now, because I know that job hunters can see what you do in your free time on Facebook and if you are fit for the job. It may have an effect on your future career!

Some people say Facebook is changing the way people communicate. Do you agree?

Patrick: Not really. If you have to speak to someone instantly, you'll phone them. But it's true that Facebook has made it easier for people to communicate.

Antonia: Yes, I do — if you overuse it, it can make you almost unsociable (不爱交际的).

In the world today, all of the people need to have fun when they are free. We can't work all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life.

Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form(形式)is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and football. There are also individual(个人的)sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation(消遣)for people who like to be outdoors.

Long long ago, an old man lived with his three sons. He had 17 horses. One day, he died. In his will (遗嘱), the old man said that the eldest son would have half of the 17 horses, the second one would get one third and the youngest one would get one ninth!

All of them were very puzzled (困惑的) to read the will. They spent several days thinking how to divide 17 horses, but couldn’t find the answer.

They finally asked a wise (智慧的) man in their village for help. The wise man quickly found a way. He asked them to bring all 17 horses to a large place. Then he brought one of his horses and made the number of the horses become 18.

He asked the first son to read the will. He should get half of the horses. It was 18/2---9 horses.

The wise man asked the second son to read the will. He could get one third of the horses. It was 18/3---6 horses.
