12．My name is Zhu Fei and I am speaking in favour of the Internet-I believe that the Internet has positive effects on our lives．There are two main points which must be included when we analyse the Internet．The first is its value for people （61）who/that are looking for information．那些正在寻找信息的人．The second is our ability to relate to others through the Internet．
（62）When people need information．当人们需要信息的时候，from the news and weather forecasts to travel packages and academic research，the Internet is now the first source they turn to．（63）轻按键盘键或点击鼠标．With the touch of a button or the click of a mouse，a student will find abundant information from the largest libraries and museums in the world at his or her command．A recent survey conducted in the USA shows that 80 per cent of Internet users employ it mostly to search for answers to questions．The second most common use of the Internet，for 79 per cent of Internet users，is to find out information about hobbies．（64）这些数据证明收集信息是人们使用网络的主要目的．These statistics prove that gathering information is the primary use for the Internet．
Another truly wonderful aspect of the Internet is the way people use it to build social bonds．One of the greatest benefits of Internet friendships is that they are based on common interests，rather than appearance or age．（65）没有网络，这些人与人交往的途径就会更少．Without the Internet．these people would have fewer avenues to meet people．For these reasons，I believe the Internet is a positive tool that helps make our lives better．

11．The number of road accidents and the deaths arising from those accidents has increased over the past year．Everyone has（46）aresponsibility to prevent accidents．Below（47）are（be） some of the major causes of road accidents in connection with vehicles and what drivers should do to prevent them．
When drivers do not pay attention（48）tosurrounding traffic，they are not ready when another driver does something wrong，like turning without signalling or（49）giving（give） wrong signals．Many drivers are aggressive and push into other（50）lanes（lane） of traffic or pass other cars．These are both very（51）dangerous（danger） because they can result in crashes．Moreover，speaking on the phone requires a person（52）to concentrate（concentrate） and takes a driver's attention from the road．If the drivers drive after they have consumed alcoholic drinks or even are（53）drunk（drink），they are violating the law and risking their own life as well as the lives of others．If you are with someone（54）who/thathas been drinking alcohol，even if it is just a couple of beers，do not allow them to drive．
Driving too fast through city streets is very dangerous．Drivers have to take the responsibility to watch out for people crossing the road，（55）especially（especial） senior citizens and young children．

10．It is widely agreed that the function of education is to prepare children for life．If so，then there is very little time to waste．We should concentrate on teaching children something really useful．Here is what our school ought to teach．
（33）B
The sooner children learn this，the better．In any case，a lot can be done with a smile and good manners．
（34）D
They should know that if they eat junk food，they will become fat and unhealthy．They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they smoke or drink．
（35）A
We have rights and responsibilities．We ought to understand what they are．We have to know a little bit of our history and geography，because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us．
How will we test students on these？We cannot，but that is not a reason to avoid teaching what is important．Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children："This is life，this is what you are going to face，and this is how you deal with it．"

A．All of us are part of society．
B．Politeness is a sign of civilization．
C．Learn to be punctual．
D．Children should learn to take care of their health．
