“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”
“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day．”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”
“spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life’ friends．”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction．According to experts，Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet．
For example，one college student was missing for several days．His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him．They called the police．The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight．
A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted．The teenager spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people．
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or all addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms(症状)：
★You go out with your friends less and less．
★You can’t wait to get online again．
★You’ve decided to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours．
★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet．
What is the solution? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it，or the Internet would control you．How many hours does an Internet addict spend online every week according to experts?

Do you think that living a hungry life is last century’s story? Well, it may be this century’s headline.
The world has growing worries about a global food shortage. Right now, there are still 870 million hungry people in the world, according to a survey of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Children can’t escape this, either. Around fifteen million children die of hungry each year.
What’s causing food shortages? There are several reasons.
There are now more droughts and floods. This is very harmful to farmers and their ability to grow food.
Besides, with the growing population, feeding everyone becomes more difficult. There are a little more than seven billion people in the world. By 2050, the world population will be more than nine billion.
Another reason is food waste. The average person throws away 50kg of food every year.
How can we help with food shortages? The easiest way is to cut down on food waste.
Next time before throwing away the food on your plate, just think how much work has been done to make it. By buying less, we waste less. This takes the pressure off producing so much food. And it helps to solve the problem of food shortage.
You can also ask your schoolmates to join you.
In 2013, researchers at Kansas State University in the US put up short anti-waste slogans(标语) in dining rooms “Think Before You Waste”. Guess what happened? Students wasted fifteen percent less food after that!
The author of the study said, “You don’t need a huge activity to make a difference.”

It was not until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that scientists found the answers to some important questions. ④With the help of Galileo’s telescope, people could see the sky more clearly, and find the positions of the stars and planets.

How do you get on with your teachers? Every day, we spend hours with our teachers at school. We learn from them, and they teach us to be good people. The relationship between students and teachers is very important.
Teachers care about our studies and lives, and it seems they know everything about the subjects they teach. They also have the right to decide who should be the class leaders or represent the class to take part in the activities.
So, many students want to be the teacher’s pet. We show teachers great respect. In class, we obey the rules and keep quiet if the teacher doesn’t ask us to speak. We seldom have opinions different from our teachers'. When they make a mistake, we are afraid to point it out. Some of us don’t want to contact teachers after class because we don’t want to bother them.
At American schools, the situation is a little different. Teachers and students are more like friends. Calling a teacher by his or her name is common. In class, students express their opinions freely and challenge teachers when they don’t agree. If it turns out that a teacher made a mistake, the teacher will say "sorry" in front of the whole class. Students and teachers also communicate through e-mail, Facebook or Twitter after class. They chat about studies and life experiences.
Teachers are like our parents and our friends. So we should respect our teachers.
| The _ |

| Students_ |
Students call teachers by their names. |
| Students will obey the rules and keep quiet_ |
Students express their opinions freely. |

Teachers _ |
| Students don’t dare to_ |
Teachers say sorry to students when they make mistakes. |
It is very common for students’ marks to fall. Sometimes it is because of situations (情况) outside school such as problems at home. Sometimes it is only because the exams get harder.
When your marks start to fall, you should try talking to a friendly teacher. He or she will be able to help you with the subjects you feel difficult. Stop⑴把自己同其他的学生比较. It doesn’t matter if other students get higher marks than you. What is important is that you do your best. Before each exam, you should go through your notes from class. You should remember the most important things you have written in a shorter form.
Look through your notes again before the exam. You will be surprised when you find you remember so much. It may take hard work and you may not improve your marks straight. But let your confidence rise by every mark. Soon they should begin to climb again. Remember: ⑵ Nothing is possible if he or she doesn’t have confidence. Besides⑶this, right ways are also needed by you. Keep on working hard, sooner or later, you will be successful.

The Wilsons decided to go overseas for vacation. They had a family meeting(会议) to plan the vacation. “First,” Mr Wilson said, “we should decide where we are going.”
“I don’t agree,” Mrs Wilson said, “I think we should decide when we are going first. We don’t want to go to places when they are cold.” Mr Wilson agreed, so the family’s first decision was when to go on vacation. They decided to go in July.
“Now we can decide where to go,” said Mr Wilson.
“But, Dad,” Ben said, “don’t you think that where we go depends on how we go? If we plan to fly, we can go a long way. If we plan to drive, we can’t go far.”
Again, Mr Wilson agreed, and they discussed this. At last they agreed to travel by plane.
And so the planning meeting went on. The next day, one of Mr Wilson’s friends at work asked, “Where are you going for vacation?”
“Well,” Mr Wilson told him, “we are going in summer by plane, but I don’t know where we are going!”
根据短文内容回答下列问题。Why did the Wilsons have a family meeting?
What did they decide first?
When did they decide to go?
How did the Wilsons decide to travel?
What they didn’t decide？
