AA blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He help up a sign: “I am blind; please help.” There were only a few coins in that hat. A man was walking by. He took the sign from the boy, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back, so everyone would see the new words when they walked by. Soon the hat began to fill up(装满). A lot more people were giving money.That afternoon the man came again to see how things were. The boy knew him from his footsteps and asked, “What did you write?”The man said, “I said what you said, but in a different way.” What he had written was “Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.”Both signs said that the boy was blind.

It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’ve joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at only time.Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller.

Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores?A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adultsare so lazy that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers in the Britain’s largest health center. The results were very surprising.About one in six people who were asked said if their control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those asked said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of 654 respondents (离婚被告) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.We know that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are very fat before they start school.Dr Sa rah, Dauncey, medical director of the center, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own health, but for their families, friends and pets, too.”“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks.”And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% asked thinking they do not get enough exercise, followed by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.So there are some problems for the National Health Service, where fatness-related (相关的) illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on an increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.16.
