The living conditions are not as good as it at home and the chance to get in touch with the outside world is limited. Anyway, I’ll get used to live here and hope everything will be more better soon.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face - to - face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on - line. 1. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread.2.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 3. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
4. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it& a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license (特许) to correct everyone else. 5. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status(婚姻状况). Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. Everyone was new to the network once.
B. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
C. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to Hear.
G. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the persons face.
Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at Redlands University in California. He studies ecological literacy-or ecoliteracy (生态素养) for short. Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.
Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.
Mr. Hempel wrote part of the World watch Institute’s latest State of the World report. He says in his article, “Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that’s enough. In other words, what an ecologically literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows, the energy systems, all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.”
“That doesn’t seem to lead to action to protect our environment — to protect our life — support system to the level that we need to. Just because that we know, a lot about the environment doesn’t mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge.”
He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away. “Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues (问题) are worse in the Arctic and most of us don’t spend time in the Arctic. And so, there^ a certain distance. But there’s also a distance that’s happening in the world as it urbanizes (城市化) - people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being.”
To help children discover the wonders of nature, children should learn about nature in school, he adds. But he also points out there is a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.
1.From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3, we learn that .
A. ecoliteracy is more than a green form of science literacy.
B. people have learnt more knowledge about ecoliteracy.
C. ecoliteracy can greatly affect how nature works.
D. people with enough knowledge will better protect the environment.
2.In Mr. Hempel’s opinion, which is the most important for environment protection?
A. Knowledge. B. Action.
C. Green living theory. D. Psychological distance.
3.Mr. Hempel thinks people may show no concern about some environmental problems because .
A. they lack knowledge on environment protection.
B. they are closely connected with the nature.
C. the problems are not serious at all.
D. the problems seem to be far away.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is the best way to learn about nature in school.
B. Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise.
C. It is easier to understand environment protection than to carry it out.
D. people should first collect waste in the mountains to protect the environment.
