How to Teach Your Kids to Use the Internet Responsibly

A question for parents: would you allow your children to play outside without keeping an eye on them? Many would likely say no. 【1】 In other words, kids should not be allowed to wander the vast world of the Internet unsupervised and without fully understanding its capabilities and dangers. So how do you teach your kids to use the Internet responsibly?

Explain

Sit down and have a talk with your child about the potential dangers of the Internet. Tell them that the Internet is a useful and fun tool, but make them aware of predatory individuals who control and lie to children through various forms of social media. 【2】

Monitor

Monitor their children’s computer habits. Be aware of websites they are accessing and how much time they’re spending on the Internet. Use parental controls and filtering software to keep unwanted sites blocked. 【3】

Rules...

Set rules when it comes to computer use. 【4】 . It’s a good idea, too, to put the computer in a central spot. Don’t let your kids go behind closed doors and spend countless hours on the Internet. If they have Internet access through their phones, establish rules for access through that medium as well.

Monkey See...

【5】 . If you are spending an exorbitant amount of time on the Internet, chances are your kids will want to as well.

Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. There are hundreds of kinds of sharks. Most are about two meters long. The dogfish shark, however, is less than twenty centimeters in length. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old．Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
Sharks are important for the world's oceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great.
People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable. Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins. Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth, but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth.
A. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A.
B. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.

Everyone wants more free time to do the things they love. Here are four methods that you can use in your personal life to get things done more efficiently and save time.

1. Save time by shopping all at once.

【1】 Go out and do all of your shopping on a single day in a single trip. By the way, the very best time to shop for groceries is Tuesday afternoon and evening. Why? Store shelves are restocked（再备货）on Monday after the weekend. On Tuesday, you can get the greatest selection, get out fast, and get more free time.

2. 【2】

Wasting the time of other people is usually not deliberate. If you are a boss with people reporting to you, avoid wasting the time of your staff by keeping them waiting or being late for meetings. The more respect you show for the time of your staff, the more valuable and important they will feel. 【3】

3. Get more free time by being punctual.

Only 2 percent of people are punctual all the time, and these people are respected by everyone. Punctuality is professional and polite. 【4】 There is no such thing as being fashionably late.

4. Get things done quickly.

Get things done at a fast pace. 【5】 The more efficiently you work and the more you get done, the better you feel. Most successful people work at a faster pace than unsuccessful people.

A. Don’t waste the time of others.

B. Get into the hait of being on time.

C. When you go shopping, do it all at once.

D. Don’t break the rule of meeting strangers.

E. The same rule applies to your personal life.

F. Remember, fast pace is essential to success.

G. Get everything done before going shopping every time.

A See-through Truck

Too often people meet with car accidents because a large vehicle blocks their view. This is especially true in Argentina. The South American country is known for its winding and narrow roads. However, Samsung and ad agency Leo Burnett have come up with a creative solution: the Safety Truck. The system sends video footage（片段）in front of a truck to four screens on its back. It gives drivers a clear view of what’s ahead.

A Virtual（虚拟的）Pencil and Paper

In the 450 years or so since its invention, a pencil has become so common. It’s easy to forget how great technology is. It writes darker words when you press it harder. Its marks can be erased（擦掉）. It’s difficult to digitally copy the way it works. That’s what makes Apple’s latest effort so impressive. The Apple Pencil allows users to draw, paint, or write on a screen, just as they do on a piece of paper. The Apple Pencil goes for $99, and the iPad Pro is $799+.

Easy-on Shoes

In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,’’ he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike appointed a design team to the challenge. This year, they came up with their solution: the Flyease. The basketball shoes can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike Flyease shoes sells for $130.

【1】 How does a See-through Truck help avoid the accidents?

A. By putting a big block in front of a car.

B. By sending video footage in front of a truck to four screens on its back.

C. By writing something on a screen, just as they do on a piece of paper.

D. By having to worry about someone rushing out in front of the truck every time.

【2】What makes Apple’s latest effort so impressive?

A. The Apple Pencil allows users to draw, paint, or write on a screen.

B. The Apple Watch gives users exact time when people need to know it.

C. The Apple Pencil goes for $99, and the iPad Air is $799+.

D. The Apple Pencil leaves darker marks on the screen and its marks can’t be erased.

Dear Jack,

I’m sorry to hear that you feel lonely in the new school, because you find hard to make friends. Now, I’d like to offer you any advice.

Firstly, it’s normal for you to feel lonely because you were living in a new environment. Secondly, you should greet your classmates when met them on campus. Thirdly, it will be a good idea if you take an actively part in class activities, what can help them learn more about you. I believe you will be able to make new friends soon unless you’re friendly to the others.

I hope the suggestion above will be helpful to you and everything will be fine with you for the future.

Yours,

Li Hua
