This report shows something of home computers used by a group of young people. It is a common idea that children today know about computers and have a good knowledge of using them in all sides of their lives.

We decided to try to find out if this was true.

We asked thirty young people between 14 and 18. All the children said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they usually spend on their computers in a week, but we wondered what they used their computers for.

The average(平均的) time spend on a computer in a week was 12 hours, with the highest user about 30 hours and the lowest only 5 hours. There were no differences between boys and girls.

All the children said they usually used their computers to play games. Fourteen told us they did some word-processing at home, but not very much. Only three of them said that computers helped them with their studies, and nine people told us that they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers, or used them as diaries. Only four people said they were learning to make programs, and nobody looked up databases(数据库). None of the people used their computers for any other use. The diagram below gives all the results one by one.

The results show that computer use is quite high among 14-18 year-old children. They also show quite clearly that computers are used by most people as little more than game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and keeping address lists. It seems to us that, computers are common in the homes of young people, they haven’t become useful in everyday life.

1.How many young people were asked in the report?

A. 14.  B. 18.  C. 30.  D. 12.

2. In the last paragraph the underlined words “little more than” means___________.

D. the number of children who spent the least time on their computers in a week

4.According to the report, __________________________________.

A. most of the children can use the computers to study

C. children should not play computer games

D. people should do more to help children know what their computers are mainly used for

The size and shape(形状) of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.

Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale, small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed if a person was musical. Today, too many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.

Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large, medium-size or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he / she just has high blood pressure (高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.

1.When a baby is born, _______________________.

A. his / her ears are red 

B. his / her ears will not change all the life

C. he / she will get large ears

Stone is all around us. Stone is usually very hard,       it can also be soft. Stones have many uses.

In some       , artists carve (雕刻) beautiful things out of soft stones, because they can be shaped easily. In ancient(古代的) times,people carved        persons or animals out of soft stones, which could be carried along with. While in some European countries, statues (雕塑) are carved       hard stones and they do not change easily. In summer, the hot sun      on these statues and in winter the snow falls on them, but they        remain beautiful.

Stone is strong and long-lasting. So, it is       enough for buildings. A house built of stone does not catch fire as easily as       made of wood. Some stones are coloured, so they make the

     look wonderful. People can also get a fire with stones. Besides, some kinds of stones can be used to      jewellery (珠宝). We’ve found stones are really amazing.
