    Parents and teachers worry about games having a bad effect on students, and a large number of reports have been written about games leading to addiction(上瘾) and violent behaviour. If one is addicted to games of violence, he might not think fighting even killing is a very serious thing.

    But not everything about games is bad. For some, playing games is a good way to learn as well. Many games are based on history, countries or planning. Such games can indirectly teach students valuable lessons of life. Some games can improve players' memory skills by asking them to perform memory exercises throughout the game in order to reach the next level. Computer games are known to improve hand-eye coordination(协调) and help players develop problem-solving skills. Most games inspire players to meet more difficult challenges.

    Computer games have both good and bad effects. Playing games itself is not a problem, but students need to know about how much time to spend playing games and what kind of games to play. Playing games is like any other activity in life——eating too many hamburgers or too much pizza is harmful too.

(     ) 4. The underlined word "violent" means“      ”in Chinese.

        A.怪异的        B.懒惰的         C.暴力的        D.攀比的

(     ) 5. It is also a good way        by playing computer games.

        A. to get along with others           B. to learn some useful life lessons

        C. to respect parents                D. to communicate in English

(     ) 6. At the end of the passage, the sentence "eating too many hamburgers or too much pizza is harmful too. " implies(暗示)that       .

        A. students should spend more time playing computer games

        B. students should stop playing computer games

        C. students should play computer games with their parents together

        D. students should spend proper time and choose good ones when playing computer games

Bob was happy. He was at a new school, and students there were friendly. “Hi, Bob!” some students greeted him, but some students said, “Hi, Peter!” Bob didn’t understand. He asked one student. “Why do some students call me Peter?”

    “Oh, that’s easy to answer,” the students said, “Peter was a student here last year. Now he is at a different school. You look like Peter. Some students thought that you were Peter.”

    Bob wanted to meet Peter. He got Peter’s address from a student and went to Peter’s house. Peter opened the door. Bob couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked really like Peter! Bob and Peter had the same color eyes and same smile. They had the same black hair. They also had the same birthday. And they both were adopted (领养) by two different families.

    Bob and Peter found out that they were twin brothers. Soon after the boys were born, one family adopted Bob, and another family adopted Peter. Bob's family never knew about Peter, and Peter’s family never knew about Bob.

    Soon Bob and Peter’s story appeared (出现) in the newspaper. There was a photo of Bob and Peter next to the story. A young man called John saw the photo in the newspaper. John couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked like Bob and Peter! He had the same color eyes and the same smile. He had the same black hair. He had the same birthday. And he, too, was adopted by another family.

About 180 years ago in a small village in England, a mail coach was standing in the street. Around the coach many people were talking about it.

At that time, mail coach did not come to that village so often. People had to pay a lot of money to get a letter. The person sending the letter did not have to pay. The person getting the letter had to pay the postage.

“Here’s a letter for Miss Alice Brown,” said the mailman. Everyone turned to a girl of about eighteen who was standing by the coach. “I’m Alice Brown,” she said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.

Alice looked at the envelope for a minute, and then handed it back to the mailman.

“I’m sorry I can’t take it,” she said. “I don’t have enough money to pay the postage.”

The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the postage for Alice’s letter.

When the gentleman gave her the letter, she said with a smile, “Oh, thank you very much, sir. This letter is from my boy friend. His name is Tom. He went to London to look for work. He has to get enough money for our marriage. I’ve waited a long time for this letter, but now don’t need it. I don’t have to open the envelope because there is nothing inside.”

“Really?” the gentleman said in surprise. “How do you know that?” “He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope. Look, sir, this cross in the corner means that he is well, and this circle means he has found work. That’s very good news.”

The gentleman was Sir Rowland Hill. He did not forget Alice and her letter.

“The postage to be paid by the receiver has to be changed,” he said to himself. He thought and thought for many years. At last he had a good plan.

“The postage has to be much lower,” he said. “What about a penny (便士) for a letter? And the person sending the letter pays the postage. He has to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope.”

“A good idea!” people said when they heard of his plan.
    The government decided to adopt the plan. The first postage stamp was put out in 1840. It was called the “Penny Black”. It had a picture of the Queen on it.

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐心).

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to give up climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.

(     ) 1. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.

          A. hard           B. enjoyable           C. painful           D. comfortable

     Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.

     We know that there are too many Net bars around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to learn more about the world around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them at once. It can help us contact people from all over the world.

     But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.

     At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.

Title:  A speech about going online
Advantages	●Make our lives interesting. ●Learn how to use the computer and get more     1    . ●Send e-mails to our friends     2    . ●Help us keep in     3    with people from all over the world.
Disadvantages	●It     4    too much time to play computer games. ●Some students spend too much time     5    online, so they do worse in their lessons.
Advice	Do it in summer or winter holidays; do some after-class activities and have some interest groups in school.
