One day two Americans, Mike and Dick, arrived in Australia. Early the next morning they hired (雇用) a car in Canberra(堪培拉--澳大利亚首都) and began their travel. Some time later the sun rose and began to shine in the sky and there were no houses beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. At that moment Mike found that there was a river half a kilometre ahead. They drove the car faster and got there soon. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing near the bank and asked, "Are there any sharks in the river, boy?"

"No, there aren't," answered the boy.

So they jumped into the river and began to swim. After a while, Mike felt something hit against his leg. He became afraid. So he stopped to ask the boy again.

Is it true that there aren't any sharks in the river?"

"Yes, sir," said the boy. "But there are a lot of crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the river."

Many adults think that the decision to buy a computer is theirs and they are the world's webmasters. But now, a US survey(调查) has found that children are getting more and more interested in the Internet. The number of children using the Internet has grown to three times in the past three years.

Three years ago, the number of children entering webworld was 8 million. Today, the number has increased to 25 million. By the year 2005, the number of children online is expected to be 42 million.

More and more children are using the net because their parents use it. The survey showed that the number of parents using the net has changed from 4.5 million to 16.4 million.

The survey found many other interesting facts.

In five years, schools will become the main gateways to the Internet for children.
