They are part of a new addiction （瘾） called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week.

Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens （青少年） because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.

Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice ahead （前面） might be hiding under the melting （融化） snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you may suddenly go across the road. Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly （平稳地） . Sudden movements can make a car suddenly very difficult to control. So every time you either turn the wheel, touch the brakes （刹车） or increase your speed, you must be as smooth and slow as possible. Imagine you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive careful and make sure that the cup wouldn”t fall. Rule Number Two is to be careful about what might happen. The more ice there is. The further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to stop by smoothly braking. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think.
