题目内容
I began to send e-mail when I was 17. I discovered Google 5 years later. Now, I use the Internet all the time. Internet has become so popular that 90 percent of 12-to-17-year-olds in the United States use the Internet, and about half of these kids use it every day. They visit chat(聊天) rooms and send e-mails. They go to websites to get information for their homework.
“Kids are now living in a virtual(虚拟的) world,” says Greenfield, an expert at the University of California, “As the Internet is becoming more and more important for our life, we should worry about one question: Is the Internet good or bad for kids? ”
“It’s X to answer the question because the Internet involves(涉及) so many things,” says Justine, who is from Northwestern University. “They include online computer games, news, messages and even e-mails to your grandmother.” So, more and more people believe that the online world can be helpful in some ways but dangerous in others.
“Although it’s not easy to tell whether it’s good or bad,” says Justine, “the Internet, at least, is very useful and can be used widely by everyone in the world.”

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate* for president of Student Union. I really thought I should be chosen.
Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered 1 a polite “Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my 2 , Jeff came to me and put his plate beside mine.
“I’m, er – I’m just wondering if you would consider coming to work on my team,” he said nervously. “You are really 3 and you would be a great partner.”
“I don't think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.
“Well, 4 you change your mind, you can tell me tomorrow.” he said before moving to another table.
All that night, I thought about the 5 from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election* process would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to 6 Jeff.
7 of all, I began to create a catchy*advertisement. Within a few days, we 8 a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway 9 passing Jeff’s smiling face.
My next step was to 10 what new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.
With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster agreed to add 11 we want to our school program.
With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.
An eighth grader said, “ 12 will be exciting to have Jeff as president.”
13 these words made my heart filled with pride. I had wanted to become president of Student Union to make a difference. Now I achieved that. Jeff became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his 14 . The fact that it has made a 15 in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next to ours was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “Why doesn’t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including cleaning the window.
Late in the afternoon I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点) ?
From then on, whenever I want to judge (判断) someone, I ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window? ” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others’ world more clearly.
