Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.

Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’re joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).

There are many different kinds of computers now. They can all be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on peoples desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies (公司) .These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.

There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet. But do you know 98﹪ of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

Bob was a gardener and he had no work for a few months. One day he went out to look for a job. While he was walking in the street, he saw a poster(招貼) at the gate of a big restaurant. It said the restaurant needed to hire（雇傭） a man who could grow flowers and trees well. Bob was so pleased that he went straight to answer it. There Bob was told to go back and get his old working clothes to the office. Bob did so.

The boss looked over his working clothes carefully and then decided to let Bob have the job. Bob asked the boss why his working clothes were so important. The boss answered with a smile, “Oh, your working clothes are all with patches（補(bǔ)丁） on the knees. I have dismissed（解雇） two men these days. They had working clothes with patches in buttocks（臀部）. They were too lazy.”

Will it matter if you don’t have your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.

The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.

The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight（減肥）. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight （發(fā)胖）instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

Last Sunday I saw the worst storm. It came suddenly and went on for more than three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and all was quiet. The strong wind started blowing into my room suddenly. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.When I came back into the house, it was raining harder and harder. I tried very hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud crashing(碰撞的) sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was——a big tree had fallen down and broken the top of the back room.

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school? If you do, you need to take control(控制) of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can cause you to lose friends.Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written "My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals" to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them.The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. Getting angry is not a natural(天然的) way to act, the book says. It is just a bad habit(習(xí)慣), like smoking(抽煙). The book says you can control your anger(生氣) easily ---- all you have to do is tell yourself not to be angry.When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it. Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.The book gives many tips(建議) to help you if you get angry easily. Here are our top three:

1. Keep a record. Every time you get angry write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.

2. Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.

3. Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh!

In Britain the weather never gets too hot or too cold. There is not a great difference between summer and winter. Why is this?

Britain has a warm winter and a cool summer because it is an island country. In winter the sea is warmer than the land. The winds from the sea bring warm air to Britain. In summer the sea is cooler than the land. The winds from the sea bring cool air to Britain.The winds from the west blow over Britain all the year. They blow from the southwest across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋). They are wet winds. They bring rain to Britain all the year. The west of Britain is wetter than the east. The winds must blow across the high land in the west. The east of Britain is drier than the west.

“Dream may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream,” some scientists say.

　　　Dream takes up(占據(jù)) about one quarter(四分之一) of our sleeping time. People have a few dreams each night. Dreams are like short films（電影）. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

　　 Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.

　　 Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream.

　　 Too much dreaming can be harmful(有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why(……的原因) we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.
