Facebook,the social media website that now has attracted
more than 300 million members.To them I have only this
to say: Stop please!
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal blamed
Facebook"s ability to ruin riendships,saying that it limits communication to typing and
encourages people to spend far too much time with friends they have never met.
Having used Facebook since its first year,I find these arguments false.The simple
truth is that the problems are only a symptom of Facebook abuse.Like many things,it is
only as harmful to your life and relationships as you allow it to be.Consider arguments
against watching too much TV and overeating.
Try using Facebook to find friends who may have long ago changed their e-mail
addresses and phone numbers,to find out what your old college friends are up to,to
congratulate your friends on their latest birthdays,to share pictures and articles you find
interesting,and to join in the discussion about them with your friends.
Sure,I had days when I wasted a little more time on Facebook than I should,but I"m not
going to blame Facebook for my own laziness.If Facebook wasn"t there I would have
found something else to waste time on.To my "friends": If you don"t feel like broadcasting
your life stories on your Facebook,don"t.If you tire of my personal updates,ignore them.If
you don"t want to join in the popular online games,don"t.It"s a fun tool at your fingers that
can be used for both good and bad.If you don"t like using Facebook,don"t.
I am now a consultant at the Department of State.I use Facebook to keep in touch with
friends,family,and colleagues who live and work all over the world.
B.Because it can make people lose their real-life friends.
C.Because it"s as harmful to people"s lives as watching TV.
D.Because it encourages people to make friends with strangers.
B.To arrange appointments with our old college friends.
C.To collect interesting pictures and articles from our friends.
D.To keep in touch with friends whom we haven"t called for long.
B.write our life stories online secretly
C.decide who can read our life stories
D.refuse to join in popular online games
B.gain supports from the Department of State
C.show that Facebook is used all around the world
D.introduce how she uses Facebook as a consultant
B.Many people put blame on Facebook.
C.It is ourselves to blame,not Facebook.
D.Facebook is becoming more and more popular

suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary"s tone seems
more rejecting than I"d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid-hours become minutes, and
alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary
days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a tele-commuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with
colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England; so much of our relationship is
computer-mediated.
If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my
money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only
to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard(暴风雪) of "96 on TV.
But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I"ve merged(融合) with my
machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line
report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It"s like attending
an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents" worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes
and face, has become an avoidance(逃避),a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human
contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I"d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I"m jarred by the commercials. I find
myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather."Dateline", "Frontline" , "Nightline," CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when
they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.
B. unbearable
C. misleading
D. not understandable
B. the same country
C. different countries
D. different cities in England
B. Sometimes TV programs give her comfort and even makes her forget her work.
C. She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.
D. She turns on TV now and then in order to get some valuable information.
B. She likes it because it is very convenient.
C. She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
D. She likes it because it provides an imaginary world.
B. coming back home from the outside world
C. bringing back direct human contact
D. getting away from living a strange life
Every family with kids has seen its share of arguments,shouting and complaining.It turns
out that all that conflict serves an important purpose in the development of children.Saying
"no",followed by a temper tantrums (发脾气),just may be an unavoidable part of growing
up.And that"s a good thing.These are the first steps toward independence.Even young children
have to challenge their parents sometimes.
Studies have shown the following:
Although stressful,conflict is beneficial for children.
Learning to manage conflict is necessary for a child"s development.
Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire even more attention
than parents can or should give.
If you understand why conflict occurs,it can minimize (最小化) the conflicts between
you and your children.Conflict is a child"s attempt to develop a sense of self and how he or
she learns to express needs and ideas.Parents develop and drive this independence by
exposing children to the outside world both formally and informally.
Conflict can grow out of a difference of opinion or might just be a way to blow off steam
(发泄怒气).In rare situations,constant conflict between a parent and child can indicate a
deeper emotional problem.Consult your doctor if this seems to be your situation.
It"s important to offer your child choices,which should be determined by age and
developmental level.The more responsible a child is,the more choices he or she gets in reward.
You can threaten your child with punishment,but often offering a choice will better improve
angry situations.Consequences and rewards should have some meaning to your child.
Often a child"s adverse (敌对的) reaction when he or she hears the word "no" can be
avoided by giving the child an explanation as to why you have refused their request.

Washington D.C. is wonderful at this time of year.
I would like you to come to my place and meet my people at the end of your journey.
You can"t leave America without visiting New York. My brother"s hobby, as you know,
is taking pictures. He has a big album(相册)of pictures of the United States and of New
York. I"m sending some of them to you. When you look at them you"ll understand why
New York is a city of islands. In fact it lies on three big islands: Manhattan, Staten Island
and Long Island. There are many small islands in the city.
The most expensive part of New York is Manhattan. This island is famous for its
skyscrapers(摩天大楼).Broadway is a famous street in New York. It is known for its
theatres and you can see wonderful shows there.
There are many museums and art galleries(画廊)in New York. Pupils often visit museums
and have their art classes there. School children often visit the Bronx Zoo. It is the largest
of the New York City zoos. It opened in 1899 and since then has always been a favorite
place for animal lovers and children.
In 1789, New York became the first capital of the United States of America but it
remained the capital for only one year. Now, as I"m sure you know, Washington, D.C.
is the capital of the country.
