Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important thing in your life?” Maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet”. The first computer was made in 1946. It was big but worked slowly. What can computers do? A writer once said, “People can’t live without computer today.”
The Internet is about twenty-five years later than computers. We can use it to read books, send e-mails, do some shopping, play games and make friends.
Young men, especially the high school students like the Internet very much. In the Internet bars, they make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages and even sex(性别).
Some of them play games in the Internet bars all day and night. Many of them can’t catch up with others in many subjects because of that.
Now the government has done many things. Some gangster bars(黑网吧) have been banned(取缔). The teachers and parents are still worried about these children.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that computers and the Internet could not do all the things.

One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, while Americans would call it the second floor.
The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They’re more active and easier to talk with.
The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use “football”, “eraser” and “mail” while Americans prefer to use “soccer”, “rubber” and “post”.

Large population has caused many problems. For example, the traffic is very heavy in some big cities.
During the last ten years, big cities like Beijing and Harbin were full of cars and buses. Now the streets are completely crowded and it’s very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in the future? How can we solve the problem?
There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private(私人的) cars. In 1971, the officer in Rome began an interesting experiment: Passengers on the city buses didn’t pay for their tickets.
In Stockholm there was another experiment: People paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus(电车) and train all over the city.
In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles(机动车) and pedestrians are safe there.
In London there is another experiment: Part of the streets is for buses only. So the buses can travel fast. There are no cars or taxis in front of them.

There are many clubs in my school, like the English club, the art club, the music club and the sports club. I have two good friends, Jack and Lisa. We all want to join the school clubs.
