Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up (建立) in the 1960s. At that time,
computers were large and expensive. Computer network (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the
network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up.
It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working,
information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working
all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government (政府), but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals
and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was

developed software that made"surfing" the Internet easier.

We Want the Best! We did a survey of things that interest young people today. This is what they told us. Most of the cafes in town are good, but The Turk’s Delight, the newest cafe to open here, is the most popular. It is also the most expensive, but the coffee is the best and the chairs are the most comfortable. What’s more, the music they play in the cafe is the best. The cell phone that everyone wants to buy is the V-Phone. This is the coolest phone around because it is like a computer. It has the most extras. You can take photos, make videos, check your e-mail, and of course, make phone calls. And what video game is the best today? Well, everyone agrees it is Viper Boy. It has the best graphics (图画), the most realistic (栩栩如生的) sound and the most interesting story. | ||||||||||||

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live green life. Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce means"use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. Reuse means"use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again. Recycle means"change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees. | |||||||||||||
