We are all busy taking about and using the Internet. But how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time， computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down， then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working， information could be sent through another part. In this way， computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government (政府). But in the early 1970s， universities， hospitals and banks were allowed to use it， too. However， computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s， computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

Micro blogs like Weibo are nothing new for the young Chinese. A newspaper in Chengdu did a survey last month. It found that 90 percent of junior high school students use micro blogs.

They give students an outlet (出口) for emotion. “I use micro blogs to record my life. I let everyone ‘see’ my feelings and complaints (抱怨),” said Liu Fangyue, 14, from Xiamen No. 1 Middle School. They have fun with classmates even after school. “I would send a message to praise someone who came first in the exam,” said Liu.

Teachers also join in the fun. “When I sit down to talk to my students, they may not tell me their real thoughts,” said Lu Dongping at Nanning No. 2 Middle School. “But on micro blogs, they are more relaxed. They even make fun of me.”

You would be wrong if you think micro blogs are all about fun. Zhong Yun from Xiamen Haicang Experimental School sees it as a tool (工具) to learn English. The 13-year-old girl follows foreign stars such as Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber.

“In order to understand their English posts, I have to check the dictionary and learn many new words,” said Zhong.

“Micro blogs widen students’ perspectives (觀點), but there are rules to follow,” said Shi Zhongying, a professor from Beijing Normal University. He shares some of them with micro bloggers.

“Manage your time, and don’t let micro-blogging affect your studies and health,” said Shi. “Don’t give out your name, family address or phone number on micro blogs. You should also respect (尊重) truth and other people’s privacy (隱私).”

1.The second paragraph mainly tells us .

A. how popular micro blogs are

B. why micro blogs are popular

C. who uses micro blogs

D. what micro blogs are

2.Lu Dongping thinks students are on micro blogs.

A. less serious B. less relaxed

A. chats with her teachers

B. records her schoolwork

C. shares her feelings with others

D. learns English

4.What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指的是)?

A. Micro blogs. B. Micro bloggers.
