the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time,
computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn"t 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 could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals
and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was
difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had
also developed software (软件) 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. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people"s life.

the world are looking forward to it. Here are several golden rules on how to best
plan your trip.
Rule l : Do your homework
Read everything you can before going. Really study the maps. Know the
pavilions. Arrive at the entrance nearest to the things you want to see. Have a
plan. It will make a big difference.
Rule 2:Allow plenty of time
Expo 2010 is the largest attraction event in the history of the world. It will
take many days to see it. Plan to spend from five to eight days or more seeing it.
Rule 3 : Pace yourself
Expo is enormous. The distances are punishing. It is better to spend a day
seeing a single area than to run back and forth all over the site. Remember to
wear the most comfortable shoes. Never mind what they look like.
Rule 4:Get going in May
At many Expos the crowds are smaller in May and in early June than at any
other time. And beware the last two weeks. During every Expo, people delay
their visits and then in early October they suddenly realize, "Expo will close
soon! I haven"t seen it!" As a result, the last several weeks usually have the most
crowded of the entire Expo.
Rule 5: Find out what everyone else is doing and do the opposite.
If you don"t like large crowds and long lines do the opposite. Here is an
example: Most people go on Saturdays or on holidays. So avoid Saturdays and
holidays. Go on weekdays when most people are at work.
Rule 6 : Turn up
Expo 2010 is the largest celebration in China"s history an amazing
once-in-a-lifetime event. When it is gone and it will never be seen again. So
