The most popular way to limit chance would be to use what is known as a“content screener(过滤器)”.But this can't be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Inter- net.

　　Four other tips:

　　- Don't put the PC in a child's room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things, That also makes the Interact more of a family activity.

　　- Ask your child what he or she has been doing and a- bout any friends they make on-line.

　　- Tell your child not to . give on - line strangers personal information especially like address and phone number.

　　-And tell your children never Co talk to anyone they meet on - line over the phone send them anything, accept any thing from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

　　It was already late when we set out for the next town, which according to the map was about fifteen miles away on the other side of the hills.

　　There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell soon after we left the village, but luckily we met no one as we drove fast along the narrow winding road that led to the hills. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall, making it difficult at times to see the road. I asked John, my companion, to drive more slowly.

　　After we had travelled for about twenty miles, there was still no sign of the town which was marked on the map. We were beginning to get worried. Then, without warning, the car stopped. A quick examination showed that we had run out of petrol(汽油). Although we had little food with us, we decided to spend the night in the car.

　　Our meal was soon over. I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, who was a poor sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon he came running back. From the top of the hill he had seen, in the valley below, the lights of the town we were looking for. We at once unloaded (卸)all our luggage (行李)and with a great effort, managed to push the ear to the top of the hill. Then we went back for the luggage, loaded(装)the car again and set off down the hill. In less than a quarter of an hour we were in the town, where we found a hotel quite easily.

　　Recent studies have shown that the earth is getting warmer. The scientists who carried out the studies say a large amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere is the reason for the warming. CO₂ is the gas which human and animals give off when they breathe. It is also produced when coal, oil and other things are burnt. Scientists have warned that this kind of burning is adding too much CO₂ to the atmosphere. They believe the gas acts like a green house; the grass-topped building used to grow plants in cold weather. They say the gas is like the grass roof of a green house, which lets in sun- light, but prevents heat from running away. As a result, they say the earth becomes warmer.

　　One of these scientists, Dr. Hansen, says the weather will become so hot that some rivers will dry up. On the other hand, satellite pictures show us there is less ice in the Antarctic(南极)during the summer time than in earlier years. The heat would turn all the ice at both ends of the earth into water, making the oceans rise five to seven metres higher than they are now.

(1)The weather is getting warmer because ________.

[　　]

A．there are too many human and animals on the earth

B．a lot of heat has been produced by burning of some materials

C．the sun has given more heat for recent years

D．there is a large amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere

(2)Farmers in cold weather build some green house to________.

[　　]

A．keep warm in winter

B．get some more sunlight

C．get some heat to plant some vegetables

D．prevent some vegetables from shining

(3)Too much CO₂ makes the earth warmer than before because ________.

[　　]

A．it can give heat to the earth

B．it can prevent heat from running away

C．it can absorb(吸收)heat from the sun

D．it can pollute the atmosphere

(4)According to the view of Dr. Hansen, some day in the future ________.

[　　]

A．all rivers on the earth will dry up

B．the water level on land will rise five to seven metres higher

C．all ice in the Antarctic will turn into water

D．all ice on the earth will turn into water

(5)What do you think the best way to prevent the earth from getting warmer?

[　　]

A．Many animals should be got rid of.

B．Many kinds of materials should be used again.

C．The growing increase of population should be controlled.

D．Something should be done to prevent air pollution.

　　On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple received a very special telephone call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very important. The Hardens' 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them.“I' m phoning to wish a happy Christmas,”she said.“I love you.”

Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.

Dear Sir.

　　I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the air- port. Two buses travel along this route: the number 49 and the number 16. However, by the time the number 16 bus reaches. So UK Road it is always full, so it is of no use to me. This leaves the number 49 which sometimes has empty seats on it.

　　The timetable stales that there are buses from SO UK Road to the airport every ten minutes. Lf this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?

　　The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must slop at every stop where people are waiting. Why is it, therefore, that half- empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?

　　The instructions state that no bus may carry more than40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them. Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says maximum speed: 50 mph. The distance from So UK Road to the airport is ten miles. Saturday morning a 49 bus traveled this distance in ten minutes at an average speed of 60 mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90. mph.

　　It is obvious that our bus companies have no respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

Yours,

Weary Traveler
