Tips of Avoiding the Computer or Internet Addiction

The Internet has been widely used in recent years. It is a convenient way to share information, do business and contact others. 1. Getting rid of the addiction requires discipline and commitment. Here are some steps that may help your kids to overcome the Internet addiction.

First, you should try to find out just how much time your kids are spending online. Track the information for a few weeks and try to separate time spent on homework or research and time spent playing. Compare this to the amount of time spent with friends, at clubs, in activities and for hobbies. 2.

3. In my house, the family computer sits in the living room. At no time is someone allowed to be “behind closed doors” with a computer. Not only does this help honest people stay honest, but it helps to connect to your teens when they are online. Besides, it is easier to monitor your teens’ time online.

4. Don’t speak of the fact that they are online all the time, but try to get to the root cause. Often someone gets online because he/she feels safe there. Talk to your teens about what is going on in their life. If they will not talk to you, then find a way to connect your teens to the people they contact in real life.

Lastly, remember that if an Internet addiction is growing, your kids need help. In many cases, the Internet is a safe place for people with poor self-esteem, negative self-image, or for people who have been hurt. 5.

If there is a problem, and a person needs help, these symptoms will continue to worsen until they get help.

A. If things are out of balance, try to correct them.

B. There are some disadvantages of getting online.

C. Second, move computers out of your children’s rooms.

D. It is a good idea to contact the teacher for help if possible.

E. Also, if your kids spend too much time online, talk to them.

F. Unfortunately, some people develop an addiction to the Internet.

G. It is the same with people with eating disorders or drug addictions.

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. As some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech – “ I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumble（结巴）over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on its message rather than on his way of speech-making.

People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.

1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ________.

A. be smarter than you

B. know what you are talking about

D. notice your mistakes

2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ________.

A. you find the way of speech-making more important

B. you don’t fully understand the speech

C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say

D. your attention is on the content

3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that ________.

A. giving a speech is like giving a performance

B. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made

C. one to two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be

4.What would be the best title of the passage?

A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker

B. Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech

C. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

D. How to Make a Perfect Speech

When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?

I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future of print. After all, in some people’s minds I wouldn’t be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.

Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing. Compare this to the newspapers circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.

In her successful blog post titled The Job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have, author Jenny Surane states, “Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers’ heads,” She goes on to state that people don’t feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get new from many different sources.

If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.

Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.

Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.

Is the future of print grim? Maybe. But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people, grim as well? Definitely not.

1.According to Paragraph 2, the author feels ________.

A. confident about the future of his career

B. worried about the future of print

C. tired of being a newspaper journalist

D. embarrassed about online writing

2.What information is conveyed in Jenny’s blog post?

A. Twitter is not very popular.

B. It is hard to manage online journalism.

C. Print still has its own advantages.

D. People have more options to get information.

3.What does the underlined word “grim” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Promising B. Depressing

C. Unforgiving D. Encouraging

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To explore the future of journalism.

B. To analyze the cause of print decline.

C. To explain the bright future of a journalist.

D. To introduce a successful blog post about print.

Maybe you often have arguments with your parents about clothes, homework, friends and many other personal things.1.Most teenagers must be sorry or even frightened when their parents fight. They might think their parents don't love each other any more and that it would result in divorce.

They might even disagree about little things that don’t seem important at all—Like what’s for dinner or what time someone gets home.
