Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right---and others are wrong. Many people believe that it's their job to36others how their positions, statements, and points of view are37, and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to some how38it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been39by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I'm wrong and you're right.” Or, has anyone you know ever40you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their41 ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us42to be corrected. We all want our positions to be 43 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 44 of the human heart. And those who learn to45 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 46 of correcting others are often resented (怨恨)and47.
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice48 others the joy of being right---give them the glory（荣耀）.49correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it's important to…”, rather than jumping50and saying, “No, it's more important to …”, simply let it go and allow their statement to 51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have53. You'll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people's 54 ,which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos ( 自我 ). Starting today, let others be “55”, most of the time!

A
There are few places on earth where nature can be seen in almost primitive（原始的）condition. One is the Galapagos Islands, where, largely unspoiled by man, strange and unusual birds, animals and plants settle and grow—many of which are found nowhere else in the world. These islands lay directly on the Equator, about 1, 000 kilometers west of the South American mainland.
But the Galapagos is now facing a crisis（危机）. Its human inhabitants, who live on the island of Santa Cruz, want to develop the business and tourist possibility of the islands. Recently, they have been having a bitter struggle with the naturalists who work at the Charles Darwin Research Center, alto on Santa Cruz. The naturalists want to keep the island’s wildlife alive, which is already suffering as a result of human activities.
The animals’ greatest danger used to be sailors who, hundreds of years ago, plundered（掠夺）the islands for food. They wiped out about 250, 000 Giant Tortoises, causing extinction（毁灭）of several species which lived on some of the smaller islands. The last survivor, an 80-yearold Giant Tortoise called Lonely George, lives under the protection of naturalists at the Darwin Center.
56. The best topic for this passage is ________.
A. In Primitive Times
B. Giant Tortoises’ Extinction
C. Great Danger to the Galapagos
D. Development of the Island
57. Which of the following maps shows rightly the position of the Galapagos Islands?
注：①□stands for the South American mainland.
②☆stands for the Galapagos Islands.
③—stands for the Equator.
58. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that if the business and tourism are developed in the Islands, ________.
A. there will be a war between the inhabitants and naturalists
B. a great number of wild animals and plants will die out
C. a lot of people will come to the Galapagos for food
D. the inhabitants on the Islands will be well off
B
Learning disabilities are very common. They affect perhaps 10 percent of all children. Four times as many as girls have learning disabilities.
Since about 1970, new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better. Scientists now know there are many different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by many different things. There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized.
You cannot look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability. There is no outward sign of the disorder. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong.
In one study, researchers examined the brain of the learning-disabled person who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things. One has something to do with cells in the left side of the brain, which control language. These cells normally are white. In the learning-disabled person, however, these cells were gray. The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve cells were mixed together.
The study was carried out under the guidance of Norman Geschwind, an early expert on learning disabilities. Doctor Geschwind thought that learning disabilities resulted mainly from problems in the left side of the brain. He believed this side of the brain failed to develop normally. Probably, he said, nerve cells there did not connect as they should. So the brain was like an electrical device in which the wires were crossed.
Frank Duffy experimented with this technique at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Boston. Doctor Duffy found large differences in the brain activity of normal children and those with reading problems. The differences appeared throughout the brain. Doctor Duffy said his research proves that reading disabilities result from damage to a wide area of the brain, not just the left side.
59. Scientists found that the brain cells of a learning-disabled person differ from those of a normal person in __________.
A. size and shape
B. colour and shape
C. size and arrangement
D. colour and arrangement
60. It is NOT mentioned in the passage that learning disabilities may result from __________.
A. the unknown area of the brain
B. damage to a wide area of the brain
C. unusual organization of brain cells
D. problems in the left side of the brain
61. Doctor Duffy believed that the problem of learning disabilities __________.
A. was limited to the right side of the brain
B. was not limited to the left side of the brain
C. resulted from the left side of the brain
D. did not lie in the left side of the brain
62. According to the passage we can conclude that further researches should be made _________.
A. to study possible influences on brain development and organization
B. to study how children learn to read and write, and use numbers
C. to help learning-disabled children to develop their intelligence
D. to explore how the left side of the brain works in language learning
C
Sex education is a serious scientific subject, which is as important as the other science and arts subjects, even if it is not included in the exams, especially the college entrance examination. It shouldn’t be overlooked or banned in school curriculum. Instead of being regarded as a sinful subject, it should be treated with the right attitude. In China, for thousands of years, people have felt shy and embarrassed (窘迫的) when talking about sex, which becomes a mysterious thing in people’s view. Affected by this cultural tradition and social customs, people hold a negative attitude towards it. That is why sex education is never allowed to enter schools in an open and broad manner. As a result, few people have a correct and scientific knowledge about sex. Many teenagers know very little about sex. Driven by the forces of instinct or curiosity, they commit many crimes because of ignorance, eg. illegal teen pregnancy (怀孕), taking drugs, contracting sexual diseases. They become the innocent victims due to lack of sex education. Can’t this be said to be the tragedy of our education and nation?
Sex education is not new in the schools of Western countries, beginning as early as kindergarten and continuing into high school. Comprehensive sex education programs generally cover the biology of reproduction (繁殖), the psychology of relationships, the sociology of the family. These courses leading to straight talk about a variety of subject have neither produced many negative impacts on the mental, physical and psychological development of the teenagers, nor resulted in many social troubles.
It is clear that the teachers and parents can’t perpetuate myths that could prevent children’s healthy sexual development. Under the proper guidance of the teachers and experts, students will grow into healthy-minded citizens and decrease the chances to see psychological doctors.
63. Chinese people hold a negative attitude towards sex education because __________.
A. it is sinful
B. it is not included in exams
C. they’re afraid that children will commit crimes
D. they’re affected by the tradition and customs deeply
64. The underlined words “perpetuate myths” in the last paragraph mean __________.
A. keep sex education a mysterious thing
B. discover the myths of sex
C. make the sex education a secret thing
D. make the secret of sex education known to the teenagers
65. What can we NOT infer from the last paragraph?
A. Some teenagers go to see psychological doctors because of lack of sex education.
B. Without the proper guidance of the teachers and experts, no teenagers will grow healthily.
C. Proper sex education is mentally helpful for the teenagers’ growth.
D. More and more people will regard sex education as a natural thing.
66. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. Cultural tradition and social customs about sex education in China.
B. The different attitudes towards sex education.
C. Sex education shouldn’t be overlooked.
D. The advantages of proper sex education.
D
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors---or of people very different from our own---can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Franciso Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Truth of May1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros--- as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez---depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. Four hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.
67. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage?
A. The way art expresses is the same all over the world.
B. Art history supplies us with knowledge about everyday activities of people in the past.
C. Most typical history courses don’t cover people’s spirits.
D. Art is subjective in that it will find a ready echo in our hearts.
68.What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “essential” in the paragraph 1?
A. natural B. necessary
C. strange D. possible
69. The passage is mainly discussing ________.
A. the difference between general history and art history
B. the making of art history
C. what we can learn from art
D. the influence of artists on art history
70. It may be concluded from this passage that ________.
A. Islamic artists have had to create architectural decoration with pictures of flowers or geometric (几何的)forms
B. history teachers are more objective than artists
C. it is more difficult to study art history than general history
D. people and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings in order to popularize the Bible

From e-mail to on-line shopping, you may think you’ve heard everything there to know about the electronic frontier (新领域). But with hundreds of thousands of Web pages being added weekly, there are plenty of surprises out there. Here are some of the most intriguing (有迷惑力的).
Put your kid on a greeting card. Here is how: simply take some pictures with a regular camera, and then ask the photo service to develop them digitally (数字化). For a small fee, you’ll receive your photos on a disk. Put that into your computer and, with a few clicks of the mouse, you can view your photos on the screen. With a few more keystrokes, you can attach (使……附在)the photos to e-mail and send them to friends and relatives worldwide.
Sign on to one or several greeting card’s Web sites (www.cardcentral.net is an index of more than 1200 electronic card sites) and create an electronic birthday or holiday card. Using your digital photos, you can paste your grandchildren onto the cover.
If you don’t want to use your own photos, go to cards amzon. com to browse (浏览)hundreds of images in over 30 categories---all of which you can attach to an electronic greeting card for free. For a nominal fee you can choose from a library of 75,000 images as www.photodisc.com.
Call Australia for free. To have a telephone conversation over the Internet, the person you want to talk to no longer needs a computer. Not all you need to talk to someone in Sydney is one computer with speakers, a microphone, a sound card and some software (available at www. Vocaltec. com or Microsoft. com ). Typically, you’ll pay a monthly fee (usually under $ 20) to a service provider, but after that, the calls themselves are local. Sound quality is the same as that of a cell phone.
Even if you don’t have a computer, you can still use the Web to reduce your long distance phone costs. Some companies offer a service that lets you use an ordinary phone to call another ordinary phone, but charge only a few cents per minute for US calls, because they send them through the Internet.
Today 48 percent of American has computers---a figure that is expected to climb to 60 percent by 2003. And by the end of the next decade, Americans will likely be spending more time shopping, backing, investing and learning on the Internet than in the real world. If you can’t do or find something on the Net today, you probably can tomorrow.
71. Over the Internet, you ________.
A. can hear everything there
B. will meet with plenty of surprises which come out every week
C. will hear the things about the electronic frontier
D. can find some things are very interesting
72.From the passage we can infer that _________.
A. fewer people will use the Internet in the following ten years
B. more people will study in the regular school by the end of the next decade
C. fewer people will go to the regular school in the following ten years
D. more money will be needed for a long distance call by the end of the next decade
73. If you want to attach a photo to your e-mail, you have to ______ it.
A. digitalize B. take
C. picture D. send
74. Whcih of the following is NOT true?
A. A telephone conversation over the Internet can be carried out without computers.
B. Over the Internet, the receiver of the phone conversation doesn’t need a computer.
C. The phone conversation over the Internet is much cheaper.
D. the long-distance calls are local themselves.
75. What is the best title for this passage?
A. From e-mail to on-Line Shopping.
B. Surprising Things You Can Do on-Line.
C. Kids on Greeting Cards.
D. Free Calls over the Internet.

I am a senior three student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can surf the Internet after school. My mother holds the view that students in senior three, shouldering heavy loads, are too busy to spare any time to go surfing. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that, I'll not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that there is something bad in the Websites, which may be harmful to me and at the same time it is bad for my eyes to surf the Internet too often. But I really can' t accept her ideas, for every coin has two sides. I think it a relaxation to go surfing after a day's hard work. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but also it can broaden my horizons. On the other hand, I can discuss some study problems with my classmates through the internet. Furthermore, I can keep in steps with the times. Now we've at last reached an agreement with the help of my father that I can only surf the internet at weekends, and the programs should be limited to music, news, programs of sports or science.

第三部分： 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
There are few places on earth where nature can be seen in almost primitive（原始的）condition. One is the Galapagos Islands, where, largely unspoiled by man, strange and unusual birds, animals and plants settle and grow—many of which are found nowhere else in the world. These islands lay directly on the Equator, about 1, 000 kilometers west of the South American mainland.
But the Galapagos is now facing a crisis（危机）. Its human inhabitants, who live on the island of Santa Cruz, want to develop the business and tourist possibility of the islands. Recently, they have been having a bitter struggle with the naturalists who work at the Charles Darwin Research Center, alto on Santa Cruz. The naturalists want to keep the island’s wildlife alive, which is already suffering as a result of human activities.
The animals’ greatest danger used to be sailors who, hundreds of years ago, plundered（掠夺）the islands for food. They wiped out about 250, 000 Giant Tortoises, causing extinction（毁灭）of several species which lived on some of the smaller islands. The last survivor, an 80-yearold Giant Tortoise called Lonely George, lives under the protection of naturalists at the Darwin Center.
56. The best topic for this passage is ________.
A. In Primitive Times
B. Giant Tortoises’ Extinction
C. Great Danger to the Galapagos
D. Development of the Island
57. Which of the following maps shows rightly the position of the Galapagos Islands?
注：①□stands for the South American mainland.
②☆stands for the Galapagos Islands.
③—stands for the Equator.
58. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that if the business and tourism are developed in the Islands, ________.
A. there will be a war between the inhabitants and naturalists
B. a great number of wild animals and plants will die out
C. a lot of people will come to the Galapagos for food
D. the inhabitants on the Islands will be well off
B
Learning disabilities are very common. They affect perhaps 10 percent of all children. Four times as many as girls have learning disabilities.
Since about 1970, new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better. Scientists now know there are many different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by many different things. There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized.
You cannot look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability. There is no outward sign of the disorder. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong.
In one study, researchers examined the brain of the learning-disabled person who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things. One has something to do with cells in the left side of the brain, which control language. These cells normally are white. In the learning-disabled person, however, these cells were gray. The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve cells were mixed together.
The study was carried out under the guidance of Norman Geschwind, an early expert on learning disabilities. Doctor Geschwind thought that learning disabilities resulted mainly from problems in the left side of the brain. He believed this side of the brain failed to develop normally. Probably, he said, nerve cells there did not connect as they should. So the brain was like an electrical device in which the wires were crossed.
Frank Duffy experimented with this technique at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Boston. Doctor Duffy found large differences in the brain activity of normal children and those with reading problems. The differences appeared throughout the brain. Doctor Duffy said his research proves that reading disabilities result from damage to a wide area of the brain, not just the left side.
59. Scientists found that the brain cells of a learning-disabled person differ from those of a normal person in __________.
A. size and shape
B. colour and shape
C. size and arrangement
D. colour and arrangement
60. It is NOT mentioned in the passage that learning disabilities may result from __________.
A. the unknown area of the brain
B. damage to a wide area of the brain
C. unusual organization of brain cells
D. problems in the left side of the brain
61. Doctor Duffy believed that the problem of learning disabilities __________.
A. was limited to the right side of the brain
B. was not limited to the left side of the brain
C. resulted from the left side of the brain
D. did not lie in the left side of the brain
62. According to the passage we can conclude that further researches should be made _________.
A. to study possible influences on brain development and organization
B. to study how children learn to read and write, and use numbers
C. to help learning-disabled children to develop their intelligence
D. to explore how the left side of the brain works in language learning
C
Sex education is a serious scientific subject, which is as important as the other science and arts subjects, even if it is not included in the exams, especially the college entrance examination. It shouldn’t be overlooked or banned in school curriculum. Instead of being regarded as a sinful subject, it should be treated with the right attitude. In China, for thousands of years, people have felt shy and embarrassed (窘迫的) when talking about sex, which becomes a mysterious thing in people’s view. Affected by this cultural tradition and social customs, people hold a negative attitude towards it. That is why sex education is never allowed to enter schools in an open and broad manner. As a result, few people have a correct and scientific knowledge about sex. Many teenagers know very little about sex. Driven by the forces of instinct or curiosity, they commit many crimes because of ignorance, eg. illegal teen pregnancy (怀孕), taking drugs, contracting sexual diseases. They become the innocent victims due to lack of sex education. Can’t this be said to be the tragedy of our education and nation?
Sex education is not new in the schools of Western countries, beginning as early as kindergarten and continuing into high school. Comprehensive sex education programs generally cover the biology of reproduction (繁殖), the psychology of relationships, the sociology of the family. These courses leading to straight talk about a variety of subject have neither produced many negative impacts on the mental, physical and psychological development of the teenagers, nor resulted in many social troubles.
It is clear that the teachers and parents can’t perpetuate myths that could prevent children’s healthy sexual development. Under the proper guidance of the teachers and experts, students will grow into healthy-minded citizens and decrease the chances to see psychological doctors.
63. Chinese people hold a negative attitude towards sex education because __________.
A. it is sinful
B. it is not included in exams
C. they’re afraid that children will commit crimes
D. they’re affected by the tradition and customs deeply
64. The underlined words “perpetuate myths” in the last paragraph mean __________.
A. keep sex education a mysterious thing
B. discover the myths of sex
C. make the sex education a secret thing
D. make the secret of sex education known to the teenagers
65. What can we NOT infer from the last paragraph?
A. Some teenagers go to see psychological doctors because of lack of sex education.
B. Without the proper guidance of the teachers and experts, no teenagers will grow healthily.
C. Proper sex education is mentally helpful for the teenagers’ growth.
D. More and more people will regard sex education as a natural thing.
66. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. Cultural tradition and social customs about sex education in China.
B. The different attitudes towards sex education.
C. Sex education shouldn’t be overlooked.
D. The advantages of proper sex education.
D
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors---or of people very different from our own---can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Franciso Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Truth of May1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros--- as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez---depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. Four hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.
67. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage?
A. The way art expresses is the same all over the world.
B. Art history supplies us with knowledge about everyday activities of people in the past.
C. Most typical history courses don’t cover people’s spirits.
D. Art is subjective in that it will find a ready echo in our hearts.
68.What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “essential” in the paragraph 1?
A. natural B. necessary
C. strange D. possible
69. The passage is mainly discussing ________.
A. the difference between general history and art history
B. the making of art history
C. what we can learn from art
D. the influence of artists on art history
70. It may be concluded from this passage that ________.
A. Islamic artists have had to create architectural decoration with pictures of flowers or geometric (几何的)forms
B. history teachers are more objective than artists
C. it is more difficult to study art history than general history
D. people and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings in order to popularize the Bible

From e-mail to on-line shopping, you may think you’ve heard everything there to know about the electronic frontier (新领域). But with hundreds of thousands of Web pages being added weekly, there are plenty of surprises out there. Here are some of the most intriguing (有迷惑力的).
Put your kid on a greeting card. Here is how: simply take some pictures with a regular camera, and then ask the photo service to develop them digitally (数字化). For a small fee, you’ll receive your photos on a disk. Put that into your computer and, with a few clicks of the mouse, you can view your photos on the screen. With a few more keystrokes, you can attach (使……附在)the photos to e-mail and send them to friends and relatives worldwide.
Sign on to one or several greeting card’s Web sites (www.cardcentral.net is an index of more than 1200 electronic card sites) and create an electronic birthday or holiday card. Using your digital photos, you can paste your grandchildren onto the cover.
If you don’t want to use your own photos, go to cards amzon. com to browse (浏览)hundreds of images in over 30 categories---all of which you can attach to an electronic greeting card for free. For a nominal fee you can choose from a library of 75,000 images as www.photodisc.com.
Call Australia for free. To have a telephone conversation over the Internet, the person you want to talk to no longer needs a computer. Not all you need to talk to someone in Sydney is one computer with speakers, a microphone, a sound card and some software (available at www. Vocaltec. com or Microsoft. com ). Typically, you’ll pay a monthly fee (usually under $ 20) to a service provider, but after that, the calls themselves are local. Sound quality is the same as that of a cell phone.
Even if you don’t have a computer, you can still use the Web to reduce your long distance phone costs. Some companies offer a service that lets you use an ordinary phone to call another ordinary phone, but charge only a few cents per minute for US calls, because they send them through the Internet.
Today 48 percent of American has computers---a figure that is expected to climb to 60 percent by 2003. And by the end of the next decade, Americans will likely be spending more time shopping, backing, investing and learning on the Internet than in the real world. If you can’t do or find something on the Net today, you probably can tomorrow.
71. Over the Internet, you ________.
A. can hear everything there
B. will meet with plenty of surprises which come out every week
C. will hear the things about the electronic frontier
D. can find some things are very interesting
72.From the passage we can infer that _________.
A. fewer people will use the Internet in the following ten years
B. more people will study in the regular school by the end of the next decade
C. fewer people will go to the regular school in the following ten years
D. more money will be needed for a long distance call by the end of the next decade
73. If you want to attach a photo to your e-mail, you have to ______ it.
A. digitalize B. take
C. picture D. send
74. Whcih of the following is NOT true?
A. A telephone conversation over the Internet can be carried out without computers.
B. Over the Internet, the receiver of the phone conversation doesn’t need a computer.
C. The phone conversation over the Internet is much cheaper.
D. the long-distance calls are local themselves.
75. What is the best title for this passage?

B. Surprising Things You Can Do on-Line.
C. Kids on Greeting Cards.
D. Free Calls over the Internet.

I am a senior three student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can surf the Internet after school. My mother holds the view that students in senior three, shouldering heavy loads, are too busy to spare any time to go surfing. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that, I'll not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that there is something bad in the Websites, which may be harmful to me and at the same time it is bad for my eyes to surf the Internet too often. But I really can' t accept her ideas, for every coin has two sides. I think it a relaxation to go surfing after a day's hard work. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but also it can broaden my horizons. On the other hand, I can discuss some study problems with my classmates through the internet. Furthermore, I can keep in steps with the times. Now we've at last reached an agreement with the help of my father that I can only surf the internet at weekends, and the programs should be limited to music, news, programs of sports or science.
