Many people are surprised when they find the Internet was set up(建立) in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks(网络) didnt work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information (信息) could be sent through another part . In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first the Internet was only used by the government(政府), but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks(银行) were allowed (允许) to use it too. However, computers were still very difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers had become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had developed software that made “surfing”(浏览) the Internet more convenient(方便). Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.

They believe that their family members dont know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas. It is very important for teenagers to have a good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication(交流) is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss (讨论) something. These things are difficult for them to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

One man in the picture stands for ten million people. A look at the picture above will tell you the relation(关系) between times and numbers of people during years from 1850 to 1950. The surprising population growing of this kind can also be seen in other parts of the world. The worlds population is growing faster and faster with each passing day. The population problem may be the greatest one of the world today. From a UN report we know that the year 2000 already saw the world population reach over six billion, and that by the year2010, the world will have a population of seven billion, twice of that of the year 1968. The population of the earth has increased more than the amount (数量) food .Now about one fifth of the people in the world need more food than they get and people have to find food for over 250,000 mouths more in one day.

It is a day for lovers, and one of the loveliest holidays in the United States.Very few Americans know the history of Valentines Day. One English story tells that birds select their mates on February 14. Another story says that more than 2,000 years ago the ancient (古代的)Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached their hands into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year. Then came a Roman priest Valentinus, who secretly married many young lovers against the Roman kings order. The Rome Emperor got angry and ordered the killing of Valentinus on February14, 269 AD.It is very popular to send cards decorated with hearts and flowers to express love. Today many Americans like to exchange humorous cards with husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, relatives and even special friends. Some enjoy the joke of sending “Guess who” cards to a person he or she secretly admires. Sometimes they put their love messages in a heart-shaped box of chocolates, or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons(丝带).Candy, perfume, jewelry or a picture with a heart and Cupid (the Roman God of Love), who is armed with a bow and arrow, are also sent to express love. Many couples arrange romantic dinners by candle light for this occasion. Universities also hold a Sweetheart Ball for the young students to celebrate Valentines Day.56. How many r
