Reading comprehension(阅读理解)

　　The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it?

　　What is the Internet?

　　The Internet is a large, worldwide collection of computer networks(网络). A network is a small group of computers put together. Different networks from all over the world make up the Internet. Once you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of fun on the World Wide Web(网).

　　What is the World Wide Web?

　　The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. The web is like a big electronic(电子的) book with millions of pages that are called homepages.

　　You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favorite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.

　　What is email?

　　Electronic mail(email) is a way of sending messages to other people. It's much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter.

　　If you want to use email, you must have an email address. This address must have letters and dots(点) and an “@”(meaning “at”). This is what an address looks like: michael @ sohu. com. Write a message, type in the person's email address, then send the message across the Internet. People don't need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office since the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting－that's the Internet!
