The Internet in Our Life（互联网的利与弊）
The internet--a double-edged sword（互联网是一把双刃剑）
Internet is an international computer network connecting other networks and computers from companies, universities, etc. At present, Internet becomes a useful assistant for us. However, every coin has two sides, the Internet also has its own advantages and disadvantages.
On one hand, we benefit a lot from computers. We live in a message explosion times, we only need to sit in front of a computer or any other network terminal, to know the latest things or to check any thing you don't know. The internet also helps us save a lot of time. The message was transferred so fast and so vivid that we don't have to walk out or have a face to face meet to resolve some business. We can also make friends by internet.
On the other hand, the explosion messages were pushed to us whether you need it or not. So we have to spend a lot of time to figure out which one is a useful. We don't have to have a face to face talk most time, so we feel lonely and sometimes. More and more teenagers are addicted to virtual world and they all play computer games everyday they want, leading to a terrible result. The worst respect is that it gradually eats our health. We sit more and walk less, which caused backbone disease. The computer radiation affects our body, and so many diseases are caused by it.
Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.
Internet in Our Life(互联网的利与弊)
随着科技的发展，电脑在二十一世纪成了人们必要的用品。随之而来，网络与我们的生活息息相关，给现代人的生活、工作带来了无与伦比的方便。
通过网络，我们能查寻有用的资料,了解时事动态等等.当你工作了很长时间后去玩电脑游戏，可以减缓你的精神压力，放松你的心情.并且，上网玩游戏也不完全是坏事，因为学生玩游戏可以锻炼手、脑的反应能力，满足学生娱乐需要。
但是网络也有弊。长时间的看电脑,电脑发出的辐射对人体有很大的害处。眼睛长期处于紧张状态容易造成近视。现在的电脑游戏众多,某些电脑游戏粗制滥造,甚至含有暴力等不健康内容。有的孩子由于对社会认识不足和自我保护意识缺乏，沉迷网络游戏，网络交友。 其实网络并不可怕，只要我们面对网络时多一些认识，网络就会成为我们学习上的有利助手。让我们一起创个干净的网络世界吧 ！

And short sight may cause by it for your eyes stay tense. At present, there are too many games on the Internet, but some of them are not of good quality even containing some unhealthy content like violence and so on.

IV Reading Comprehension Passage One
Questions 39 to 43 are based on the following passage
We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”
There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.
“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference.”
“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”
“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”

The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened form Taj Mahan, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided, out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.
He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia, and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.
The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife. 44.
