Is global warming killing the Maldives?
The Maldives(馬爾代夫) is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Every year, millions of         go there to enjoy the wonderful scenery. And in recent years, more and more people would like to visit it,       ? Because the little island country is         . If global warming           , say scientists, the country will go down into the ocean within 100 years. That means the Maldives          have disappeared by 2100.
The Maldives          in the Indian Ocean. It is the           country on earth—its highest point is only 2.4m above sea level.          Greenhouse gas emissions(排放), global temperature and sea levels will rise         9cm and 88cm by 2100. If scientists are       , most of the Maldives will be covered with water in years.
Last October, Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed and his cabinet(內(nèi)閣)held the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting to make the world         the terrible results from global warming to their own country. In December, he         at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference(大會(huì)) in Copenhagen, trying to ask for help from the world for        country. The president even has a         to buy a new homeland and move his country and people to a new place.
The Moldavian government has been doing all it can to fight the         . But the fate(命運(yùn))of the islands is in the world’s hands. No one wants to see this little island country disappear from the world.

As we all know, the Internet has become part of teenagers(青少年)       . A new reporter on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them used the Internet very       .
Most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, but some are not using it in a        way .Many are playing online games too much.       even visit websites (網(wǎng)站)they should not look at. A teacher from Yucai Middle School says that bad things can happen if young people       too much time on the Internet. She had a student who used to be (曾經(jīng))good at school.     then he started visiting unhealthy websites. He went mad(變得瘋狂),cheated(欺騙)a girl and was taken away by the police.
In order to help young people use the Internet       a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior(行為) has started to be used in some middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to       students about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as to read news or to find helpful     to study. Teachers and parents all think the book is very good.
The book will be a guide (向?qū)? for teens to use the Internet. We believe it will keep students away from bad websites, and teach students       to be a good person in the online world.
