In the 1960s, people asked about your astrological sign(星相). In the 1990s, they wanted to know your website (网址). These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. Like the table of contents of a book or a magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout (版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(大标题) GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts, and links to other websites follow.

Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.

While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Start simply If you are too ambitious (雄心勃勃的) at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.

Less is better Most people don't like to read a lot of text online. Break it into small pieces.

Smaller is better Most people connect to the Internet with a modem (调制解调器). Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.

Have the rights Don't put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally (合法地). Learn the Net's Copyright Article for more about this.

Now it's time to roll up your sleeves and start building. Learning the Net Communities provides tools to help you build your site.

       I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died suddenly of a heart attack．About a week after his death, she shared some of her insight with a classroom of students．

       As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there．With a gentle look of reflection on her face, she paused and said, "Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is very important．Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves．None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end．It can be taken away at any moment．

       Perhaps this is God's way of telling us that we must make the most out of every single day．" Her eyes beginning to water, she went on, "So I would like you all to make me a promise．From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice．It doesn't have to be something you see - it could be a scent-perhaps of freshly baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground．Please look for these things, and cherish them．For, although it may sound trite to some, these things are "the stuff" of life．The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy．The things we often take for granted．We must make it important to notice them, for at any time．．．it can all be taken away．" The class was completely quiet．We all picked up our books and filed out of the room silently．That afternoon,  noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester．Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what an impression she made on all of us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all overlook．So I hope you take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today．Go barefoot．Or walk on the beach at sunset．Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double-dip ice cream cone．For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn't do．Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away．

Find which Direction Is South

Do you have a good sense of direction？If not，please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass , you can still find your way.

It's never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted(委托〕with the job of map reading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the "slightly confused look on their face that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don't know the exact time，you can still find out where south is，but you'll need to be patient.

①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.

②Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line（铅锤线）with a piece of string（绳子） and weigh. You haven't got any string? Ok, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.

③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.

④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.

⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.

⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.

⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.

⑧That point is south of where you are.

⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be traveling.
