完成對該問題的回答.答語要結(jié)構(gòu)正確,書寫工整,字跡清楚.
     The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example,
when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my
teacher edits my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And
Microsoft Word has a spell checks! I use it all the time.
     For English class, we're reading The Outsiders, by S.E.Hinter. As a pre-reading assignment, my teacher
asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally
found an article on Time.com.
     For a geography assignment on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I
needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through,
and what kind of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country affects its
economy. For example, the river's trade paths, the number offish caught in it, and the tourists it attracts
directly affect Southerners' jobs and incomes.
      I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both
my parents work, getting to the library isn't always easy. For a big assignment or research project, I'd have
to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Being able to find the
information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias also
save time.
     Sometimes. I think the computer spoils my generation because it's so easy at least physically. But
computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer
using a computer. Easy, fun, and fast.

     London's Chinese community (社區(qū)) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people
came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as "Chinatown". However, London's Chinese
community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545
Chinese people in Britain.
     After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As
Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled in a different area-a part of central
London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
     At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small
Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was
wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city.
Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked
as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives
to join them from overseas.
      As time went by, London's Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and
daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get
highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts.
Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.
1. When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?

How many Chinese people were there in Britain at the beginning of the 20th century?
