The Internet joins millions of computers all over the world, and it’s used by people all over the world. It was invented in the 1960s in the USA. The American government needed a network of computers for its army. Then in the 1970s scientists and businesspeople also wanted to use the Internet to send and receive messages. For some years, they weren’t allowed to use US network, and when they were allowed to, the messages were in very simple text without photos.
The World Wide Web was invented by a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wanted to send documents to other scientists. So he developed the World Wide Web. This allowed him to send and receive scientific documents with text, drawings and photos. In the 1990s, more and more people began to use the Internet and the World Wide Web.
So, what’s the difference between Internet and the World Wide Web? The Internet is the hardware .It allows us to communicate with other people. The World Wide Web is the software. It allows us to create , see, and read multimedia documents.
The web is made up of millions of documents called web pages. These pages are held in computers all over the world. Many people have a favorite website with a number of web pages on the same subject.
Email is a way of using your computer to send and receive messages. It’s cheaper and quicker to use email than send normal mail. New users call normal mail “snail mail” because it’s so slow.
It took 50 years for 100 million people to listen to the radio. It took 15 years for 100 million people to watch television. By the year 2000, it had taken only about three years for 100 million people to use the Internet. What will happen next on the Internet?

Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Taizhou. The Transportation Department(部門) is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road inTaizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The number of the private(私人的) car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 200 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts(專家) say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway(地鐵) and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees(費(fèi)用). But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
小題1:The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means _____.
A．makingB．a(chǎn)rguingC．replyingD．comparing
小題2: About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now.
A．8,500B．10,000C．15,000 D．20,000
小題3: What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．The city sent out more private licenses in February.
B．Less and less people bought cars in March.
C．The city sent out less private licenses in March.
D．More and more people are going to buy cars.
小題4:According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will _____.
A．send out more private car licenses
B．build more parking lots near bus stops
C．encourage people to buy more cars

Perhaps once you got free plastic bags when you shopped at the supermarket. But now things have changed already.
Since June 1, 2008, China has banned(禁止) its shops and supermarkets providing free plastic bags. Shoppers have to pay for bags if they need them. “We hope it will encourage people to use cloth bags and baskets for their vegetables,” said a spokesman from the Chinese government. “Plastic bags have led to a big waste of energy and on the other hand, they pollute(污染) the air, rivers and soil. It takes around 1000 years for the bags to break down. They are also dangerous to wildlife, which eats them without knowing.”
A large number of Chinese people have begun to make their own cloth bags. Li Linwei, a student in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, made a bag out of an old dress of her mother’s. “ I have given it to my grandmother as a Mother’s Day present. From now on, she will use it when she goes shopping.” said the girl.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality（好客） easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine（事務(wù)）. They will be likely to expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
小題1:The writer of this passage must be_______.
A．a(chǎn)n AmericanB．a(chǎn) ChineseC．a(chǎn) visitorD．a(chǎn) student
小題2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
B．Americans are usually more friendly than Chinese.
C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
小題3:From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will be_______.
A．warmly welcomed at the airport
B．offered a ride to his home
C．treated hospitably at his home
D．treated to dinner in a restaurant
小題4:The underlined words "generous with our time" in Paragraph 3 mean_______.
A．strict with timeB．willing to spend time
C．careful with timeD．free with time
