When did you begin to use the Internet? What do you do on the Internet? With the rapid development of the Internet, do you think it can take the place of printed media?7.I began to use the Internet when I was a middle school student. I usually surf the Internet to watch films, go shopping, and find out information. Internet has become an important part of my life.Nowadays, with the rapid development of electronic technology, computers are widely used in everyday life. It makes our life convenient, enjoyable, and colorful. But I dont think it will take the place of printed media. For one thing, Internet has to rely on too much things, such as electricity, computers, and network, so you cant guarantee that it can run smoothly when you need it. For another thing, surfing internet is like eating fast food, we receive information quickly and forget it quickly, too. But when we read books, we can remember it for a long time. Printed media is especially important in school. I cant imagine the class with no books and paper. Besides, spending too much time online will easily lead to myopia(近视 maiupi). Whats more, there is much unhealthy information on the internet which disrupts our minds. This is bad for children.8. Can you make a list of some medical malpractices you have ever experienced or heard about?

Patience and responsibility are very important for doctors. At the same time they should improve their technical level and widely absorb clinical (临床的klinikl )experience from each other. Some doctors ought to improve their medical ethics（道德标准 eiks ） and dont be greedy for fees In my mind. For the hospitals: The hospital should set up a quality control department and strengthen medical quality supervision and management. The hospital should also be supervised( 监督sju:pvaiz ) people and the government actively. In the mean time, the hosipital should train the doctors regularly to improve their responsibility .For the government: The government should lay down the law to normalize it, which will help to prevent some bad phenomenon, like overcharging .They should popularize (ppjulraiz) medical knowledge as well.9. Some people think that good performances in sports are the most important things when we evaluate an athlete. Do you agree? Why or why not?9.I dont agree with that. Although good performances are important, I think the most important thing to a good athlete is his moral character and sprits. On one hand, I think they must have hard training in their daily life. With the help of their coaches, athletes improve skills in all aspects .All of them want to perform perfectly in the game and get good grades, but there is only one champion in a game. The athletes cant guarantee good performances in every game. So we cant conclude that he is not a good athlete if he loses the game.On the other hand, when they are playing in the games, they are under pressure from their parents, coaches, fans and so on. So there are many uncertainties which may lead to a failure. I think if they try their best, they are good athletes no matter what the result is. The most important things to an athlete are his love to sports and his never-say-die spirit. If he makes us moved and he loves his country, he is really a good athlete.In a word, we cant evaluate an athlete by the good perform
