The internet has become part of teenage life.

A new report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often.

While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way.

In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as it’s good to read news or find helpful information to study.

A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the Internet. She believes it will keep students away from bad sites. “Many students are using the Internet without guidance from their parents,” she said.  “The book will teach students how to be a good person in the online world.”

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet （小鸚鵡）on my finger, I wanted to show Perky 21_____ the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird friend out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my 22______, Perky flew off. The enormous（巨大的）, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue  treasure and suddenly he had gone, clipped wings and all.

Kathy managed to forgive me. With fake optimism（樂觀）, she even tried to reassure （安慰）me that Perky would find a new  23 ______. But I was far too clever to 24______ that such a thing was possible.

Decades later, I watched my own 25_______ growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the parents of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the best of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed（宣稱） to 26______ the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog. Then Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and 27 ________ that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.

    People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions--and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.

    Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly

(均勻的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.

    "We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth."

    According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.

    The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.

    It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."

    In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

56. The discovery shows that Westerners __

    A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth

    B. consider facial expressions universally reliable

    C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways

    D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions

57. What were the people asked to do in the study?

A. To make a face at each other.         B. To get their faces impressive.

A. The participants in the study.         B. The researchers of the study.

C. The errors made during the study.     D. The data collected from the study.

59 . In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to __

A. do translation more successfully      B. study the mouth more frequently

C. examine the eyes more attentively     D. read facial expressions more correctly

60. What can be the best title for the passage?
