Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it? The Internet
is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around
the world.
Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’re joined to the
Internet, there are lots of things you can do. You can send e-mails to your friends
without any money, and they can get them in a few seconds without any money. 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 school offices or large companies(公司).These computers are owned by people or companies, but no one really owns the Internet
itself.

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 that place.
Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible
for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information

The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode(腐蚀). In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the life of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.
