Dear Tom

　　How are you? I'm at a new school this term．And I'm writing to you about my school now．My new school is big and nice．There are one thousand and four hundred students and one hundred and forty teachers at my school．I like the teachers．They are very kind to me．My classmates are very friendly, too．They teach me Chinese and I teach them English．

　　There are trees, flowers and green grass at my school．They are very beautiful．Behind my school there is a small river．The water in it is quite clean．We can swim in it．

　　We have no classes on Saturdays or Sundays．Sometimes I go to play football or basketball with my classmates．Sometimes I stay at home and watch TV．Sometimes I go to shops with my father and mother．We all like China．

　　Please write to me soon!

Yours

Jack

　　Many students in China are learning English．Some of these students are small children　Others are teenagers(青少年)．Many are adults(成年人)．Some learn at school, others study by themselves．A few learn English language over the radio, on television or in films．One must work hard to learn another language．

　　Why do all these people want to learn English? It is difficult to answer that question．Many boys and girls learn English at school because it is one of their subjects．They study their own(自己的)language, Maths and English．Some people learn English because it is useful(有用的)for their work．Many people often learn English for their further studies, because at college or university(大學(xué))some of their books are in English．Other people learn English because they want to read newspapers and magazines in English

Lin Tao and Chen Hai are good friends．They are in the same class．They are in the same team．Lin Tao sits behind Chen Hai．Now it is four o'clock．School is over．They often go to play games after school．They can't look after their things very well．So their mothers don't give them watches．They don't have watches．They don't know the time．But they can ask a man under the big tree．His watch is very nice．They can also see the clock on the wall of the classroom．Now it's about five in the afternoon．It's time to go home．They must put on their clothes and go home．

　　E-mail is one of the biggest threats(威脅)to your home computer．By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer．When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places．Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet "room", a very, very big room．Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden in any way．As a result, others may be listening in, capturing(捕獲)what you send, and using it for their own good．

　　E-mail-borne viruses often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something．By beautiful appearances, an infected(感染)E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to damage our computers．

　　There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment(附件)that you receive．You should only read a message that passes all of these tests：

　　1)The Know Test：Is the E-mail from someone that you know?

　　2)The Received Test：Have you received E-mail from this sender before?

　　3)The Expect Test：Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?

　　4)The Meaning Test：Do the topic line of the E-mail message and the name of the attachment both have meanings?

　　5)The Virus Test：Is the E-mail infected?

　　Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry．

　　In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children．In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents．Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby．But when industry became more important than agriculture(農(nóng)業(yè))in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary．And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can．Therefore, at present people tend(易于)to have smaller families．

　　In the future, because of industrialization(工業(yè)化), a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller．The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman．A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work．At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job．

　　The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago．In those days, the people did not really eat chocolate．They used the cocoa bean(可可豆)to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it very much．Many years later, the cocoa bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste of chocolate．

　　In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain．One of the things he sold was chocolate drink．In 1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink．He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead of other drinks．A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate instead of only drinking it．But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it．Later, ad more and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper．

　　However, aT first only plain chocolate(a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar)was produced．Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate．The first milk chocolate bar was made in Cadbury’s factory in 1897．Their most famous chocolate, Cadbury’s Milk Bar, was made in 1905, It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years．The Cadbury factory is still in Britain and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the world．Every year, thousands of visitors visit the factory in order to see how chocolate is made．
