“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day．”

“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”

“spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life’ friends．”

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(癮) called Internet addiction．According to experts，Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet．

For example，one college student was missing for several days．His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him．They called the police．The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight．

A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted．The teenager spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people．

Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or all addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms(癥狀)：

★You go out with your friends less and less．

★You can’t wait to get online again．

★You’ve decided to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours．

★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet．

What is the solution? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it，or the Internet would control you．

閱讀表達(dá),閱讀下面短文，填入適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。（每個空格只填一個單詞）

    The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider these five reasons to read more books.

l         You will make your brain power better.

This shouldn’t come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp.

l         You will increase your chances of success.

The more books you read, the more knowledge you will have, the more ways and resources your brain will store, the more likely you will succeed.

l         You will have things to talk about at parties.

Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence, “Did you know …?” more often, making it easier to start conversations with strangers.

l         You will enlarge your vocabulary.

The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to enlarge my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get boring.

l         You will enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Your mobile phone or TV can make it difficult for you to get a good night’s sleep, if you do so late at night. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed, and replace that with a good book, which is a much better choice.

The books can change your life. I firmly believe that if it wasn’t for books, I wouldn’t have achieved in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination(想象力)or creativity創(chuàng)造力). I hope these reasons to read more books encourage you to unlock your power of reading.

Dear Liz， 

My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life． 

       Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10  million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside  the city．There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who  is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．  

I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda．The school teaches about 70 percent  in English，and 30 percent in Thai. I've learned some spoken language，but Thai writing is very difficult．The cooking lesson is my favourite．I'm learning all about Thai food and culture People don’t use chopsticks here，but spoons and forks．When I come back，I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal．   

Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I  thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket  Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next，we’re going to travel  to Mr．Phairat，s hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they  have two elephants．I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them．Sanan and  Chinda say it’s really fun

I'm amazed by everything in this country，especially by the elephants．Elephants are an  important pan of Thai culture and way of life．They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of  Thailand for many years in times of war and peace．In the seventh century，a Thai king trained 20，000 elephants for battle．

I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳擊)lessons next time I write．

                                                                                                                                       Love,

                                                                                                                                      Mandy

You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球變暖).

WAY 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.

WAY 2: Turn off your computer. When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (顯示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO₂ by 750 pounds.

WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.

WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests. If every family replaced(替換)one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424,000 trees would still be standing.

WAY 5: Plant a tree. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.

1. How many ways are mentioned(提及) in the passage?

A. Two.         B. Three.           C. Four.           D. Five.

B. It will help to reduce a great deal of CO₂.

C. It will save the amount of oil that runs your car for a mile.

D. It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.

3. Which ways suggest recycling or reusing of things?

A. Ways 3 & 4.         B. Ways 2 & 3.         　　C. Ways 3 & 5.          D. Ways 2 & 4.

4. How do these ways do good to our environment?
