(     )1. Tina has been invited to one of her friends’ birthday party next Sunday. She is worried about this
now because she has never taken part in any birthday party, and nobody can tell her something about it.
(     )2. Mike’s favorite is playing sports. He gets up early at 6:00 every morning. Then he goes out to
exercise by the riverside. He runs along the river for nearly half an hour, and then takes a walk for a few
minutes. He goes back home for breakfast at 7:30. But he always feels weak after morning exercises.
(     )3. Jeff is interested in the computer. His parents bought him a Dell computer last month. He wants to
surf the Internet. But he heard that there are many terrible things for kids on the Internet. His parents don’t have the knowledge about this.
(     )4. Linda’s parents will be away for China on business for more than half a year very soon. She can’t
go with them because she has to go to school. She will be at home alone. Nobody will take care of her,
and she can’t do chores herself.
(     )5. Vera is a clever girl. She does well in her studies.But Vera doesn’t like playing with her classmates, and she feels bored when her classmates ask her questions about studies. So she can’t get along well with her classmates.

A   Don’t give your personal information such as your address, telephone number, etc. on the Internet without your parents’ permission. Never agree to get together with someone you “meet” online and never send a person your picture or anything else without first checking with your parents.
B   On the day of the party, make sure you arrive on time and show that you’re happy to be there. Wear
something suitable. Greet your friend with a “Happy Birthday” and hand over the gift. Make sure you have put a card with your name on it.
C   Always smile, so people don’t think you are serious and hard to get along with. Be polite and modest. If you are rude, people will not like you. If people have troubles, you help them. Then, when you have
troubles, they will help you, too.
D   Parents should get the kids to do their chores around the house. If their clothes need washing, they wash them themselves. Let the kids prepare their own meals. Let them clean their room, cook for themselves, wash the dishes, etc.
E   Let’s say that the last time you eat something at night is at 6 or 7 pm (just an example). The following
day, you don’t eat breakfast but wait until you finish sports - you’ve gone many hours with nothing in your stomach. Your body has to work hard.It’s not good.What’s more, consider reducing the time and strength of your morning exercises.

     Spending just a few hours a week online may make people feel more socially isolated(孤立的),
lonely and downhearted(沮丧的), according to a two-year study of nearly 100 families with the
Internet.
     "We were surprised to find that social technology has such bad effects on social communications,"
the lead author, Dr. Robert Kraut of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, said in a
statement to the news. The findings suggest that "Rather than encourage students to use the Internet
alone for research, teachers might give pupils online group homework to complete with classmates.
Local groups might build websites that allow neighbors to discuss local affairs(地方事务)."
     "Before the technology develops and can be really more beneficial, people should control(控制)
their wishes to use much of the Internet," Dr. Kraut and other experts advise. In order to control their
children and encourage family activities, parents might think of putting the computer in the living room
rather than in a child's room, they suggest.
     Dr. Kraut also suggests that when surfing on the net, especially when chatting with strangers on the
net, children should not use their real names, and that they should not tell the addresses, telephone
numbers to the strangers.

     Nowadays, a new term called SAHDs (stay-at-home dads) is becoming very popular. In the UK, there are 600,000 men who stay at home as full-time husbands. The number is 10 times more than 10 years ago. In the USA, there are at least 1.7 million unemployed (失业的) married men who depend on their
wives.      
     SAHDs have increased in number around the world. There are three reasons to explain this.
     First, the bad economic situation (经济形势) has caused the decline (衰退) in men’s traditional
working fields, which has led to a large number of unemployed people.
     Second, the social and cultural progress provides a possibility for such a change in families.
     Third, the improvement in women’s education has also given them the chance to show their talents in
work. Therefore, women are able to support their families.
     According to a survey in the UK, most stay-at-home fathers said the reason for this was that the
mother made more money. The survey also suggested the men that stayed at home were happier with this
than the women, with 75% of fathers saying they were lucky to spend so much time with their children.

Tony: These days, the word "clone" has been seen very often in the newspapers. Do you know
          its meaning?
Lana: I read a report. It said that Dr. Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb named Dolly from
          a grown-up sheep. So people call him the "father" of Dolly.
Tony: In fact, the word "clone" means to produce the "same" animal by taking cells from a
          grown-up one. I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only to keep a small number
         of sheep, cows or horses.
Lana: What's more, these days some people even want to clone humans. They have asked: Can
          we clone ourselves?
Tony: It seems interesting. But do you think it possible to do that?
Lana: No, impossible! First, I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body
          are dead already.
Tony: Then can we clone a living person?
Lana: Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a copy, not a real you.
          It is only something, not a "human".
Tony: Well, you mean that it is not a real human.
Lana: True enough! I think Dr. Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing
          to do with human cloning.
