Computers are very important for the students now. For the city students, it's very easy to find a place to surf the Internet(网上冲浪). And for the village students, they can go to the Internet bar(网吧). Most of them spend more than two hours there, and some of them even spend more than eight hours there every day. They can do their homework, download(下载) some information for their homework, download music, send emails and play games.Most of them spend too much time playing games, so it's bad for their study.

Kevin and John to go there yesterday.

I'm to hear the news.

    You and your family are1a picnic for tomorrow. But you want to2the weather forecast(预报) first to see whether there will be rain or not. Your father turns on the television and the family listen to the3make. the weather report.

    "It will be partly cloudy tomorrow morning，4clearing by early afternoon. The high temperature tomorrow will be 35."

    As there will be no rain, the whole family feels5. Without the weather forecast, you would not know this, and you would just have to take your chances. But now you can plan your picnic6worrying whether it will rain or not.

    The man you can thank for this is Cleveland Abbe. He is known7the father of the US Weather Bureau. He was the first person to publish8weather forecasts in the United States.

     Abbe began his daily weather bulletins(简报) in 1869. They were based on weather9he drew from telegraphed reports of weather conditions. Because of their accuracy(准确)，the reports were !10.

    Congress(国会) became11in Abbe's weather reports. They made Abbe a meteorologist (someone who studies. weather conditions)， and he12 issuing (发布) forecasts three times a day. He was the first official forecaster of the US Weather Service. Because he often forecast probable storms, Abbe earned the nickname of “Old Probabilities".

He writes his own plays acts in them.

    I'm Sally. I was a shy girl. Bu this term, I decided to do a brave(勇敢)thing. In this term, we had a new subject to learn— physics. When our teacher asked someone to be the physics monitor(物理课代表), I put up my hand and got the role. But it was not as easy as I thought.

    At the beginning, I found that many students did not hand in(上交)their homework, so I was a little worried. I shouted at the students. It made the students angry. One girl asked: "Why are you shouting at me? You're making it seem like it is all my mistake(错误)." Then I found that, it was my mistake in fact. I should talk to my classmates in a kind way and not get so angry.

    After this, I changed(改变)how I spoke. "Excuse me. Could you please finish your homework?" I said. Later, I was surprised that many students understood me a lot better and finished their homework quickly.

    I found the best way to do this job is to talk with my classmates in a friendly way. Now, I am getting better and better with my classmates. This job makes me feel like I am growing up like a little tree day by day.

If you plan to take your pet on a trip, prepare ahead of time(提前). At least two weeks before you leave, take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is fit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest(建议) certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.

      Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed(允许) to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries,  check with their consulates (领事馆).You can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.

      Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.

      If you are going by plane or train, ask if pets are allowed. If they are, ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.

      Choose your pet's box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can't be chewed(嚼碎).

      If going by plane or train during warm weather, try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid (避免)very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold. Even in your own car, be careful. Do not leave the animal inside with the windows closed because the car may become too hot or too cold.
