Our school is No 1 Middle School. It is not big, and it has a short history, but I’m lucky that I am a student of this school.

We can go to the library to borrow books and magazines at any time. We have built a new playground. It is much bigger than before. We can play not only basketball but also football and many other sports there. There are a lot of flowers, grasses and trees in and around our school.

The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it? The following questions and their answers will help you to know more about the Internet.

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a large, world-wide collection (聚集) of computer networks (网络). A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different kinds of networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. If you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web (网) .

What is the World Wide Web?

The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic (电子) book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.

What is e-mail?

Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It’s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots (点) and an @ (means “at”). For example: Lily @ Yahoo.com. Write a message, type a person’s e-mail address, and then send the message across the Internet. People don’t need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office because of the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting — that’s the Internet.

Flying is a fast way to travel. But it is a big headache for some people. They can’t help worrying about things like “Is it dangerous if we don’t change our mobile phones to airplane mode(飞行模式)? ”Here are some interesting facts about flying.

Why are plane windows round?

It’s for safety. As the airplane flies higher and higher, the atmospheric pressure(气压)outside gets lower and lower. During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside.

When this happens, square windows can break. That’s because having different pressures inside and outside puts stress on the corners of square windows. But rounded corners can spread the pressure more evenly(均匀地)across the window’s surface(表面)，making it less likely to break.

What happens when a phone isn’t in airplane mode?

Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down. However, this is not true.

If you don’t change your phone to airplane mode, plots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones. This makes it harder for them to communicate. So it’s still best to put your devices(设备) in airplane mode.

If you lose 12 times in a row (连续地), will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.

Carnegie was born into a poor family in the United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens, he had to get up at 3 am every day to milk cows for his family.

When Carnegie first entered college, he felt upset because of his worn-out clothes and common looks. His mother encouraged him, “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate (辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 competitions. The young man was very disappointed with himself. He said later that he thought of killing himself after failing so many times. But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work paid off at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became famous. “Believe that you will succeed, and you will,” he said.

In order to share his success, Carnegie opened schools and wrote books. His best-sellers include How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. More than 50 million copies of his books have been translated into 38 languages. They are still helping people on the road to success.

Passing by the Northern Mountains

My boat goes by green mountains high, And passes through the river blue. The banks seem wide at the full tide; A sail with ease hangs in soft breeze. The sun brings light born of last night; New spring invades old year which fades. How can I send word to my friend? Homing wild geese, fly westward please!

People often say that spring is a s1. of hope and energy(活力).This poem by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wan(693-751) d2. this hope and energy.

Wang lived during the most glorious(辉煌的) period of the Tang Dynasty. This poem is not only about spring and natural beauty, but a3. a metaphor(暗喻) the time he lived in.

The f4.two lines tell us that the poet is t5. on a boat. The mountains are green and the river is blue. In the next two lines, the poet describes the open water and a hanging sail. The characters“阔” and “正”s 5 very broad and grand(宏大的)views, symbolizing the justness(公正)and social development of the dynasty.

Then the poet writes, a new sun is rising, wiping out(抹去)darkness, and the spring is c6. ,driving the winter away. These two lines are f7.of hope. They also show the poet’s aspirations(抱负）as a young w8..

The poem ends with wild geese that are flying b9.home after a long winter. Wang hopes the wild geese can send a message to his friends and family-he is looking f10.to a bright future for himself and for the country.
