Some people
think that the Internet is a necessary part of our getting an education, but
others blame it for making people addicted (上瘾). This article will
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.
One of the
advantages of the Internet is that one can find all the information on it
with ease(轻易，毫不费劲). Internet
portals (入口) like "YAHOO" and
"AltaVista" have been created to help us do so. With an Internet
connection at home, one has almost no need to go to a library, and this can
save a lot of time. Another advantage is that we can communicate with almost
everyone over the Net. Email is much cheaper and faster than the normal mail.
On the other
hand, the disadvantages are a serious problem for today’s world. The Internet
has led to a new disease: Internet addiction. Many students who used to work
hard on their studies now spend all their time online, chatting and doing other
worthless things, and wasting a lot of money in Internet cafes. In extreme(极端的) cases teens are even
lured (引诱) into doing things that are improper and even
illegal (不合法的), such as making videos for adults.
The Internet
is part of our lives now, but we still have to learn to avoid the dangers that
come with it. We should remember that it’s only a source of information, and
not a way to search for true friendship.

The elephant stopped to look down at the tiny(小的) creature and shouted.
"Leave me alone. I don’t have the time to waste on someone so small."
The rabbit was shocked by the elephant’s words. Then he decided to ask the
whale(鲸鱼) what she thought about the elephant’s
rudeness. But the whale laughed at this tiny animal. The rabbit said, "You
think that I am weak, but in fact, I am strong! I can beat you at Tug-of-War (拔河比赛)." The whale looked at him for a moment before bursting into
laughter. "Very well, little one. Go and get a rope," she said. The rabbit ran off to find a strong and
thick rope. Then he went to the elephant, "Elephant, I will beat you at a
game of Tug-of-War." The elephant laughed loudly, but agreed to challenge
the tiny animal. He tied the rope around his huge waist. The rabbit took the
other end and ran away. He called back to the elephant, "When I say
'pull’, you start pulling. "The rabbit took the other end of the rope to the
whale, "Tie this to your tail and when I say 'pull’，you swim." The
whale tied the rope to her tail after laughing at the rabbit’s foolishness.
Then the rabbit called out "PULL!" The elephant and the whale began

My basketball coach at
Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
When my sister Michelle
brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you
to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around
me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
I was very nervous
although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed
like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He
played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the
best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but
wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的),
very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be
president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we
were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying
to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the
good news, "Your boy is straight."
He isn’t selfish, which
is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got
a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的)
manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was
visiting my family.

sister about the words.
D. He wants to use the
words to test a person.
2.Why did Michelle ask the author to take
Barack to play basketball?
A. To see whether he was
confident.
B. To see whether he was
good at sports.
C. To see whether he was
selfish or not.
D. To see whether he
could get along with others.
3.During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A. played best all the
time B. was strong enough to play
C. was not confident
D. wanted to
be the team leader
4. The underlined phrase in the third
paragraph can be replaced by "______".
