The Internet has become a part of teenage's life.

A new report on 3，375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 per cent of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help their studies， some are not using it in a good way.

In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way， a textbook on good Internet behaviour has started to be used in some middle schools in Shanghai. The book uses real examples to teach students good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as it's good to read news or find helpful information to study.

Some students also make online friends. But if they are meeting a friend off-line， they should make sure their parents know it. Teachers and parents think the book is of great help. A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the Internet. She believes it will keep students away from bad websites. “Many students are using the Internet without guidance from their parents，” she said. “The book will teach students how to be a good person in the online world.”

The most frightening words in the English language are， “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the lady in the ticket office said， “I'm sorry， I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”

“If your computer is down， just write me out a ticket.”

“I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”

I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her， “What do all you people do？”

“We give the computer the information about your trip， and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”

“So when it goes down， you go down with it.”

“That's good， sir.”

“How long will the computer be down？”

“I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes， sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer， and since it's down it won't answer us.”

After the lady told me they had no backup （備用） computer， I said， “Let's forget the computer. What about your planes？ They're still flying， aren't they？”

“I couldn't tell without asking the computer.”

“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington，” I

suggested.

“I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington， he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket.”

“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours？”

“I wouldn't know， ” she said， pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘It’ knows. ‘It’ can't tell me.”

By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travellers that the computer was down. Some people went white， some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

Taking four short walks a day to lower your blood pressure may be more effective than one long walk， a new study finds.

Reporting in the September issue of the Journal of Hypertension， Indiana University researchers compared the effects of four 10-minute walks to one 40-minute walk in reducing blood pressure in 20 people with prehypertension.

Prehypertension， in which blood pressure ranges from 120-139 mm Hg over 80-89 mm Hg， is an elevated（提高的） blood pressure level that will usually progress to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is associated with heart attack， heart failure， kidney failure， stroke and blindness.

The researchers found that while the short walks and long walk decreased the participants' blood pressure by the same amount， the effect lasted for 11 hours after the short walks， compared to seven hours after the long walk.

“We had no idea the short bouts would be better，” Janet Wallace， professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the Indiana University School of Health， Physical Education and Recreation， said in a prepared statement. “Most studies found in the literature report the long， continuous session as more effective for many variables.”

But these findings may motivate people who cannot seem to fit long bouts of activity in their schedule.

“The biggest problem for most people is that they don't have time，” Wallace said. “You might think， ‘I don't have the time to go to the gym to work out for 40 minutes， but I might have the time to do 10 minutes here， 10 minutes here and another 10 minutes here.' Four 10-minute walks would be ideal.”

8. Which of the following statements is the best way for you to lower your blood pressure？

A. One long walk a day. B. Four short walks a day.

C. Stay still in a place. D. Walk all day long.

9. From the third paragraph of the passage， we learn that high blood pressure leads to ____.

A. headache ? B. cold ? C. cough ? D. heart attack

10. The underlined word “bouts” in the passage probably means ____.

A. a short period of great activity B. blood pressure

C. long walk D. good effect

11. Most people don't do enough physical exercise because they ____.

A. don't have blood pressure B. have heart diseases

C. don't have time

D. think physical exercise do no good for their health

12. What's the main idea of this passage？

A. Four 10-minute walks a day is ideal for your blood pressure.

B. High blood pressure is associated with heart attack.

C. The biggest problem for physical exercise.

D. Short walks is better than long walks.

Early one morning， more than a hundred years ago， an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem： It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.

Though he was tired， Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so， Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a rage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor

awoke from the dream， realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle， he should make it run through a small hole in the centre of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.

Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.

Thomas Edison， the inventor of the electric light， said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.

To know the value of dreams， you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then， a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious， but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However， the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.

13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

A. When you are asleep， your mind is completely inactive.

B. All parts of your mind work in the same way.

C. Charlotte Bronte learnt something valuable from her dreams.

D. We understand our dreams thoroughly.

14. What would be the best title of the passage？

A. The First Sewing Machine ? ? ? ? B. The Value of Dreams

C. How Do Dreams Happen ? ? ? ? D. Elias Howe and His Dream

15. According to the passage， we know that Elias Howe ____.

A. was the first one to run into the difficult problem

B. was killed in his dream

C. designed and built the first sewing machine

D. tried to get the thread to run around the needle at first
