Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.
Leave the area slowly,gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.
Approach and leave slowly,avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.
Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.
Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if travelling side by side with whales.
When whales are travelling close to shore,avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.
Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.

This report presents details of home computers used by a random sample (随机抽样) of young people. It is a common idea that teenagers today know about computers and know how to use them in all aspects of their lives. We decided to try to find out whether that was true.
【小题1】 All the teenagers we chose said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they spent on their computers in an average week, but we were most interested in what they used their computers for. The average time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest user averaging 32 hours and the lowest user only 5 hours. 【小题2】 【小题3】 Fourteen teenagers told us they did some word processing at home, but not very much. Only 2 of them said that computers helped them with their studies, while 8 of them told us they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only 3 of them said they were learning to program computers, and nobody looked up information (other than their address lists). 【小题4】
The results indicate quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as little more than game machines. 【小题5】 It seems to us that, although computers are common in the homes of teenagers, they have not yet become useful tools in everyday life.
A.There no big difference between boys and girls. |
B.All of the teenagers questioned said they regularly used to play games. |
C.We questioned thirty young people between 14 and 18. |
D.But some adults admitted that they had no computers at home. |
F. I don’t know how important a computer is for teenagers.
G. The other important users are for word processing and organizing address lists.
