unsuitable
materials
(
不合适材料
)
on-line
while
encouraging
them
to
use
the
Internet
has
long
been
discussed
in
the
US.
For
some
time,
the
Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as
dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(
预防措施
) ,the wilds of the
Internet can be safely navigated(
航行
).
can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future,




Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots of
interesting
Internet
sites
and
they
can
also
go
to
places
where
you
might
not
want
them
to
go.
There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (
软件
) contains only sites that
have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is known
as a
过滤器
)”.
But this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do is
to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another
way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
A few other tips:

1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye on
things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and
phone number.
3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything,
accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle
（航天飞机）

Challenger, in June,
1993. The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this
flight especially
memorable. Students from
two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however,
are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.



Norma didn’t travel alon
e. She brought about 100 companions
（伙伴）

along with her. Norma
was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony
（群体）
to travel into
space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of
weightlessness on insects.



The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the
long
space
trip.
The
young
scientists
and
their
teachers
were
very
sad
to
find
that
their
insect
astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened.
The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The container
remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air
dried out the colony’s container
（容器）
and the ants died from lack of moisture
（水分）
.



The
project
was
termed
a
success
because
it
did
provide
useful
information.
Students
will
continue
their
efforts
to
find
out
exactly
what
went
wrong.
They
will
try
to
prevent
the
same
difficulties
from
recurring
on
future
missions.
They
don’t
wan
t
to
be
discouraged
either
by
the
death of the ants or by the $$10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of
ants into space.
1. The story is mainly about ____.
A. Sally Ride’s first ride
























B. space equipment for insects
C. a space experiment with ants

















D. going to school in New Jersey
2
. The project wasn’t a failure because
____.
A. some important things were learned











B. dead ants are better
C. everything went as expected

















D. students wrote about it
3. The ants died because ____.
A. weightlessness harmed them

















B. space caused too much pain
C. no one fed them in space




















D. they dried out in the desert
4 On the next space trip, ants ____.




A. will be sent without people


















B. should not be left in the desert too long
C. will have to pay double fare

what was it?
Was it the nuns(
修女
)? ”




Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”




“Well then,” she asked again. “WHA
T was it? ”

The gray-
haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched,
she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.



Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this, but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is
said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75. It is said that about
three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 hav
e Alzheimer’s. In the early stages; people may
exhibit short- term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry.
As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or
move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.



While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain
’
s nerve fibers
（神经纤维）
,
their effect is certain. Alzheimer
’
s destroys not only the patients, but also spouses
（
配偶）
, friends
and families.



What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have
the
person
examined
by
a
doctor
who
is
a
specialist
in
the
treatment
of
Alzheimer’s
disease.
Though many reasons other than Alzheimer’s disease ma
y cause memory loss, its early diagnosis
（诊断）
and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.



What feeling will
you likely experience if a loved one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease? A
person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse
develops
the
disease,
you
may
experience
hurt
and
disappointment
when
he
or
she
doesn’t
remember you are married.



Life for the Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease
progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are
present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the
sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (
救援
) workers that they called
him
“
our
baby.
”

In
their
home
port
of
Halifax,
Nova
Scotia,
people
collected
money
for
a
headstone
in
front
of
the
baby's
grave
(
墓
),
carved
with
the
words:
“
To
the
memory
of
an
unknown child.
”

He has rested there ever since.




But
history
has
a
way
of
uncovering
its
secrets.
On
Nov.
5,
this
year,
three
members
of
a
family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says
Magda
Schleifer,
68,
a
banker.
She
grew
up
hearing
stories
about
a
great-aunt
named
Maria
Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According
to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for
her
five
children
--
including
a
13-month-old
boy
named
Eino
from
whom
she
had
become
separated during the final minutes of the crossing.
Schleifer.




Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the
DNA
from
the
Unknown
Child
with
those
collected
from
members
of
five
families
who
lost
relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one
possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees no need for a new grave.

It was 3:21 A. M. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except
for
the
cracking(
爆裂声
)of
flames
somewhere
below,
there
was
not
a
sound
in
the
two-storey
house at Baldwin Long Island.



With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his
mother,
his
sister
Karen,14
and
his
12-year-old
brother
Todd.
He
ran
downstairs
through
the
smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one
through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick
breaths and coughing, fell down onto the lawn.



The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mot
her’s room .He found it
impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious(
昏厥的
),and
there
was
nobody
to
help
Glenn
carry
her
to
the
garden .But
the
boy
remained
calm
and
,as
a
fireman said later, “acted with all the self
-contro
l of a trained adult.”




On
the
bedroom
telephone,
luckily
still
working,
Glenn
called
his
father
and,
leaving
Mr.
Kreamer
to
telephone
the
fire
brigade
and
ambulance(
救护车
)
service,
got
on
with
the
task
of
