The Internet can be a great way to connect with people.The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace.More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.

That cyberspace(網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間)trend is causing problems in school,however.In a recent survey,nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts.Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?

Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully(恐嚇)other students.One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.

Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers,and some have suspended(暫緩)students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers.Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes,according to the US Census Bureau.

It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant,“Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”

Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking.They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them.“Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,”Jim Hirsch said,“Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”

Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits.“Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,”explains Hirsch.

If you can find a tree which has been cut down,you will see many rings,or circles,on the base of the trunk.By learning to read these rings,you can find out about the tree's life.

The number of rings tells you how old the tree is.Each year,new wood is formed on the outside of the tree.This new wood is light in color when the tree is growing in spring and summer,and dark in winter when the tree is not growing much.So,if you count the rings of dark?or?light colored wood,you can often find out how old the tree is.

You can also tell which years have been good years and which years have been bad years.When the light?colored rings are very wide,it means that the tree has been growing quickly that year.If the rings are narrow,it has been growing slowly.If the rings on a tree trunk were greatly magnified,you would be able to see why the rings are light?colored when the tree is growing quickly and dark?colored when the tree is growing slowly.The tree trunk is made up of microscopic tubes,like some pipes,carrying water from the soil,through the trunk,and up to the leaves.They are wide and thin?walled when the tree is growing quickly and they are carrying a lot of water.They are narrow and stuck together when the tree is not growing so quickly.

When a tree is old,the tubes in the centre of the tree don't carry water.The walls of the tubes have become thick with materials which have stuck along them over the years,forming a kind of wood called“heartwood”.This kind of wood is darker in color than the young,growing wood on the outside of the tree.

You don't very often see whole tree trunks which have been cut across.But once you learn to read a cross section of the wood,you can see much more in wood which has been used to make boxes,houses and other things.

In most wood,instead of seeing the trunk cut across,you are seeing it cut along its length.Because you don't see the whole tree,you can't tell how old it is.

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.

All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(輕舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”

“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”

I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won’t buy anything, but it’s just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

Paragraph 1:

I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my Grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him.

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

1.A good title for this reading passage is______.

A. The Truth about Spinach B. Popeye the Sailor

C. A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong

2.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

A. They thought Popeye was funny.

B. They thought spinach made them strong.

C. Spinach had a lot of iron.

D. People liked folic acid.

3.A research group told people that spinach______.

A. made Popeye strong

B. was a green vegetable

C. had more iron than other green vegetables

D. had less iron than other green vegetables

4.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.

A. iron B. exercise

C. spinach D. folic acid
