A man tried to catch monkeys to sell them to zoos. The monkeys, however, were very
c 1. and every kind of trap(计谋) that he set failed.
A young boy watched the man’s efforts and then took a pot (壶) with a narrow neck(瓶颈). He placed a few peanuts around the pot and put lots of peanuts i 2. it. He then tied the pot to a tree and he told the man, “We should hav
e a m 3. in a few hours.”
Some monkeys soon found the peanuts and the pot. One put his hand into the pot e 4. and got a handful of peanuts, but he couldn’t pull his h 5. with peanuts out of the narrow neck of the pot. The monkey was a 6. and began to cry. Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand.
The boy and the man heard the noise. As the boy came near to the monkeys with a bag, the monkeys all ran away e 7. the one with its hand in the pot. The boy packed the monkey and the pot into the bag. The man was s 8. and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap. “Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so h 9. to get it out?”
The boy laughed and said, “The monkey could get his hand back out if he let go of the peanuts in the pot, but he just wasn’t w 10. to let go. They never are.
The Internet has become not only a necessary but also a virtual(虚拟的) world for people. With the development of the Internet, internet friendship has also become very popular. Online friends are those people who have known each other through the Internet. Making internet friends is the same as making pen friends. Many famous websites offer quite warm internet friendship. One can find many people on these websites and they share the same interests. It is difficult to make friends with someone you can’t see or feel. That is the main problem of internet friendship. A virtual friendship would not last forever without seeing each other, but it is an advantage for some people because they are afraid to speak in pubic.
On the other hand, the chances of cheating(欺骗) are very high in an internet friendship. Some people make friends on the Internet with wrong intentions(企图).So while making friends over the Internet, one has to be v
ery careful. Here are some suggestions for you.
Don’t give personal information, such as your telephone number, address, location, school name as well as your parents’ information, to strangers on the Internet.
Do not exchange personal photos of you or any family member with people you meet over the Internet.
Do not go to meet a person you have just met over the Internet. You’d better ask older or other experienced people for advice if you want to go to meet an internet friend.
Do not accept someone’s request(要求) if you feel he or she is dishonest.

Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. 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 know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also we can send e-mails to our friends quickly. It can help us contact(联络，联系) 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. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get t
o have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. 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 class. We usually have activities from 4：50 to 5：50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball 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. We 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.
