The Internet is very popular with young people nowadays. They think that the Internet has brought them a number of advantages. In my opinion, the Internet affects young people not only in a positive way, but also in a negative(消极的)way.
There is no doubt that the Internet has a good effect on widening young people’s knowledge. It keeps everyone informed. In just a few minutes each day people can get the most recent news. Moreover, more and more young people are using the Internet to look for information to help them in their work or studies. They can also learn a lot about culture and history on the Internet.
On the other hand, the Internet also has negative influences on young people. Firstly, the over-use of computers can bring in bad physical side-effects. It will do harm to people’s eyes to sit in front of a computer for a long time without a break. Other health problems, such as stomachache, headache and back pain, also happen quite easily to those who spend too much time on computers. Furthermore, the Internet seems to separate young people from the real world. Although they are usually familiar with the current affairs, their face-to-face communication skills are very poor. They communicate with other people through Yahoo, My space and MSN instead of going out with their family or meeting friends. Therefore, young people can show a lack of common sense in relationships or have difficulty, communicating in the real world. In addition, a lot of websites are not good for teenagers. For example, some websites contain violent videos that should be deleted.
In conclusion, besides helping young people to increase their knowledge, the Internet may also bring in some bad results. While the benefits seem to fill all the need, the drawbacks also need the same attention. The young really need guidance on how to use the Internet.
28. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Internet Affects People Positively
B. The Negative Effects of the Internet
C. The Influence of the Internet on the Young
D. The Internet as the Most Effective Communication Means

②one side of the topic
③the other side of the topic
④draw the conclusion
A. ①②④③
B. ①②③④
C. ④③②①
D. ①④②③
30. What can we infer according to the author?
A. The use of the Internet among teenagers should be stopped.
B. The Internet has more disadvantages than advantages.
C. More attention should be paid to the bad effects of the Internet.
D. Violent videos easily attract teenagers’ attention.
31. The passage is probably taken from
A. a magazine
B. a history book

In a new experiment, researchers found that birds could remember the faces of people that once threatened(威胁)their nests.
Mockingbirds (嘲鸟) are the most common birds at the University of Florida. They build nests in low trees.
To do the study, scientists asked students to approach the nests and touch them, but without harming the eggs or chicks. They did this for four days. The experiment was repeated five times last year and scientists began to see a pattern (模式) in the results.
On the first day, the birds would wait until the students approached the nest. Then they flew off and made alarm sounds.
By the third day, the birds had learned the faces of the students. They would start to raise the alarm when the students were still some distance away.
They were able to recognize the students even when they wore different clothes and approached from different directions.
Each day, the birds became more alarmed. But when a different group of students approached their nests, the birds were not afraid of them —flying out of their nests only at the last moment.
It only took two times for a bird to recogn ize a student. Dr. Levey said: “Sixty seconds was all that it took for mockingbirds to learn to recognize the fam iliar faces and pick them out. ”
32. What was the conclusion of the experiment?
A. Mockingbirds are the cleverest birds.
B. Birds can remember the faces of people.
C. Birds always make sounds when people come near.
D. Mockingbirds get alarmed easier than other birds.
33. How did the mockingbirds act on the fourth day of the experiment?
A. They waited until the students approached their nests.
B. They were not afraid of the approaching students.
C. They flew to the approaching students.
D. They became alarmed immediately when they saw the students.
34. How long did each experiment last?
A. Three days.
B. Four days.
C. Five days.
D. Six days.
35. What can we learn from the text?
A. There are few mockingbirds in the University of Florida.
B. Mockingbirds can recognize a familiar face in just one minute.
C. The experiment was repeated six times last year.
D. The students broke some eggs to make the mocking-birds alarmed.
