Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future．They said that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers．Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can ’t imagine(想像) how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better．We should invent a new knid of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies．Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools．Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet．TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school．Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet．
Is this a dream? No．There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen．Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office．Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society．The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home．Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones．And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones．How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it．Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet.

Wake up，boys and girls! Put up your hand if you try to repair your tired body by sleeping in（睡懒觉）on weekends． A new study says the habit might not be a good idea for your health．
The ten﹣day study came out in the magazine "Current Biology"． Volunteers were divided into three groups． The first group enjoyed nine hours' sleep each night． The second group was allowed to sleep only five hours each night． The third group was given five hours' sleep Monday through Friday．（1） But they were put back on the short sleep schedule the next Monday．
Both the second and third groups ate more snacks at night and put on weight．They also saw a decrease （减少） in insulin sensitivity （胰岛素敏感性）， a warning sign for diabetes （糖尿病）．Researchers have long known a lack （缺乏） of sleep can increase health risks．（2）
"Even though people in the third group slept as much as they could on the weekend，it was not enough，" said Dr Kenneth Wright， who led the study． "When they went back to the short sleep schedule the next week， their body failed to control blood sugar． （3）
So what should we do if sleeping in over the weekend is not a good choice？（4） Cut nut the "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on computers or mobile phones． Always remember：Getting enough sleep is as important as having good caring habits or doing exercise regularly．

The longest river in the world is the Nile． It is 4，160 miles long． But the Nile is not the mightiest （浩荡的） river． The Amazon is．The Amazon is also the second longest river in the world．It is 3，900 miles long． How long is that？ It is longer than a road going from New York City to San Francisco．
The Amazon is the mightiest for this reason． It has the greatest amount of water． More water runs out to sea than from the Nile． Mississippi， and Yangtze rivers combined． That's a lot of fresh water! The force of its current （水流） is great too． The current can be seen 200 miles out in the sea． There's a story to show the Amazon's amazing current． A ship sailed （航行） far away from Brazil． It ran out of drinking water． Another ship passed by． The first ship asked for water． Someone on the second ship said． "Just put your buckets （桶） into the sea．"
Here are a few more facts． At its mouth， the Amazon is 90 miles wide．Even up the river，you can't see the opposite bank． The river is also very deep（from 22 to 76 meters）．During rainy season，the river rises about 16 meters more． Big ocean ships can sail about 1，800 miles upstream （向上游）．Smaller ships can sail 1，000 miles farther．
What's the most bloodthirsty fish in the world？ No． It's not the shark． It's the Amazon's piranha． It is only about 10 cm to 20 cm long． It has sharp teeth． Thousands travel in a group． No animal can swim across the river．A 1，000﹣pound horse would be just bones （骨头） in three minutes． Are you planning a trip to the Amazon？ Here's a piece of advice． Leave your swimsuit at home!
