This reports shows something of home computer use by a group of young people. It is a common idea that children today know about computers and have a good knowledge of using them in all sides of their lives. We decided to try to find out whether this was true.
We asked thirty young people between 14 and 18. All the children said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they usually spent on their computers in a week, but we were most interested in what they used their computers for.
The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest user about 32 hours and the lowest user only 5 hours. There was no great difference between boys and girls.
All the children said they usually used the computer to play games. Fourteen told us they did some wordprocessing(文字处理) at home, but not very much. Only 2 of them said that computers helped them with their studies, and 8 people told us they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only 3 people said they were learning to make computer programmes, and nobody looked up databases(数据库) (other than their address lists). None of the people used their computers for any other use. The diagram(图表) gives all the results one by one.
The results show that computer use is quite high among 14-18 year-old children. They also show quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as little more than games machines. The only other great uses are for wordprocessing and keeping address lists. It seems to us that, though computers are common in the homes of young people, they have not yet become useful in everyday life.
1．In the diagram, what does the letter “d” show?
[ ]
A．3 people between 14 and 18.
B．Only 2 of the group.
C．To help them with their studies.
D．To help them with computer programmes.
2．We are afraid there is one mistake in the diagram What is it?
[ ]
A．the words “Number of people” and “Computer use” should be changed each other.
B．Add all the numbers from “a” to “g”, the number should just be 30.
C．The number of “d” should be higher.
D．There should be not number about “f”.
3．In the report, “little more than” means ________.
[ ]
4．If children could use computers usefully, that means ________.
[ ]
A．children could play all kinds of different games
B．more other databases than address lists should be learnt
C．there would be great different between boys and girls
D．computers would be much more popular

Qiao is a sixth-grader at Yuhui Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years.
Liu, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Chicheng No 2 Middle School. He began smoking four years ago. “Smoking is part of my life,” Liu said.
Qiao and Liu are not those boys' real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens (years of a person's age from 13 to 19) or earlier.
A study(研究) of 8,000 Beijing students last May told us that smoking is a problem for many Chinese kids. More than 21% of middle school students and 6% of primary school pupils said they smoked.
“If young people start smoking early, they will probably get addicted(上瘾) to nicotine(尼古丁). And it will be very hard to give up later on,” said a professor.
Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking, that number will go up to about 10 million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization(WHO，世界卫生组织)says. So we have to learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating(创造) new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you every think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe(欧洲). They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't speak good English, but they ate good food.

The Germans didn't understand the question and answered：“We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant. He had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
