Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”

The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”

The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, writer letters, do some shopping, play computer games or make friends.

Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex(性别). They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.

We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.

If you have heard of Leonardo Da Vinci, you must know something about the Mona Lisa. Maybe it is the most famous painting in the world.

Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was sold to France's King Francis I in 1519. In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces. Nowadays we can still enjoy the beautiful painting in the Louvre Museum.

However, the health of the famous picture is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed. The museum said, “Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world's, most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their modern chemical state(情形).”

Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many are attracted by the mystery(秘密) of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It's because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadow.”
