The Internet is a way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups．
A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007．That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users．
About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband(宽带)connections．Furthermore, 67 percent 6 own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet．Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses．
The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so．The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US ＄210 billion in sales last year alone．
College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping．
The study also showed that 65 percent make loan(贷款)payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card．A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses．

By using the Internet, college students in the US can do the following EXCEPT ________．
Internships are hard to find, and if you ever do one, you'll remember the experience．An internship can help you by supporting you passion, or it can encourage you to explore your field further or switch to another．This is part of the trial and error stage to get you on the right path．
Mao Heng stuck with her initial idea of going into law．She interned at a number of places during her college years．The first one was a secretary at a small law firm．“I did a lot of random stuff, nothing professional,” Mao recalls．
However, it was the secretarial experience that led to more important internships in her junior and senior years．She worked in counseling at the Xicheng District Courtin Beijing and on a hotline set up by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security．
“The experience was tremendously helpful; I saw the gap between me and the successful lawyers, and focused on more than just tests in my studies．”
Some interns feels that their ability has been wasted by their bosses．Heng thinks there is an answer to this．“The first thing is to treat everything seriously．Then when your superior sees your ability, ask for more challenging tasks．Don't wait for others, search for opportunities yourself．”
Wang Dandan, who is a journalist working for a real estate magazine, interned at Carrefour just before she graduated from college．The internship told her that she was not suited for business．“After working at Carre four, I knew that I had to find a totally different job．I became associated with media．”
Though Wang did not follow the career path with Carrefour, she says she was really grateful to the company．“What I learned might sound very ordinary．But before that experience, I remember laughing at my elders whenever they told me：“Until you get out there in the real world, you really don't know how much you don't know．”

A disheveled(头发凌乱的)man appeared in court Thursday on charges of murdering a Chinese woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam(摄像头)by her boyfriend in China．Police refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive．
The body of York University student Liu Qian, 23, of Beijing, was found Friday in her apartment in Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack, police said．
She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or trauma(创伤)severe enough to kill her．Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy(尸体解剖)are known．
Brian Dickson, 29, stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of first-degree murder was read out．He did not enter a plea．His case was held over until April 26．
Dickson was arrested Wednesday．Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media not to publish any photos of Dickson, saying it could compromise the investigation．Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further．
Liu's father, Liu Jianhui, who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter's death, thanked authorities for their quick action．
“I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter's case, ” he told reporters after the arrest．“Our daughter was studying very hard．”
Police released no motive or details about Dickson, but one friend described the Toronto man as an aspiring actor．

“He doesn't seem like the type but that's what they always say, ” Tomasi said．“He's tall with boyish good looks．I don't know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor．”
Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics, but did not earn a degree from there．
He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada(ACC), where he served as an assistant to the president Juilie Lindhout．According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of Canada, Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in Literacy, a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan．
A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to comment on staff, but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(实习生)with the council from September 29, 2008, until March 27, 2009．
Liu was chatting with her boyfriend, Meng Xianchao, by webcam at about 1 am．Friday when a man knocked on the door, police said．
Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu's webcam was shut off．Meng contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police．
The victim's father, Liu Jianhui, said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to Canada, where she met Meng．
Liu Qian's laptop computer, webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of the attack, police said．Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded, though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it．
York University, whose campus is located near one of Toronto's rougher neighborhoods, is one of Canada's largest universities with more than 53, 000 undergraduate and graduate students．About 3, 200 of York's students come from more than 150 foreign countries, the university's website says．

As an intern(实习医生), I grew to understand that nursing home(疗养所)patients was a valuable part of my education－not just from a 1 angle, but for what they could 2 me personally．
Mr．Smith was my first 3 to the nursing home．His condition, regrettably, can probably exist in countless hospitals across our nation．An acute illness had brought him to our nursing home years ago, and his family 4 him shortly before he left hospital．Helpless and unable to care for himself, he had no 5 except for nursing home care, 6 he lay until I met him when I was an intern．
Mr．Smith was almost non-communicative．After transferring to the nursing home, he 7 into a tense and 8 state, waiting for his life to end．All efforts to bring him back to the mainstream life were 9 ．Nurses faithfully tended to his physical needs, while he 10 as a shell of flesh and bone, completely 11 in life．For three years, I saw him every week, but not once did I hear him speak a word．Not once could I 12 his innermost thoughts．
On my last nursing home visit, an idea struck me．I brought my 13 into Mr．Smith’s room as part of a(n) 14 in “pet treatment．” Something 15 occurred．All of a sudden, he sat up and started talking, telling me of the days when he was a boy and had a dog 16 to my own．He told me stories of adventures he and his dog had had．For the first time, I saw the soul 17 from what had been a living corpse(尸体)．
That experience taught me not to underestimate the ability of the simple things in life to 18 hearts when carefully-made medicine has failed, and never to forget that within even the weakest of human bodies lies a life that is precious indeed－ 19 that needs to be 20 and honored, even if it can’t speak for itself．
