What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J．K．Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more．All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination．

A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day．Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails．But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead．“With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google．“The whole scope of history and the world is open to you．”

There is a wealth of information to be found online．For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car．“What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell．“I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out．’”

Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way．You can invite your parents along for the ride, too．Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software into your computer．And, check with a parent or adult before visiting any new website．

Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth．Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco．Or, visit ancient monuments and watch the changing rainforests over time．With the moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong’s famous footsteps．Take a guided tour of the moon’s surface with Armstrong’s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin．

1.According to Russell, the kids _________．

A．spend too much time on the Internet

B．should never chat and play games online

C．can solve their problems through the Internet

D．should study hard instead of chatting online

2.From the passage we know that _________．

A couple of years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (短吻鱷) was swimming toward the shoe. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could.

Hearing her voice, the little boy became worried and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.

From the bank. the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began a tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too determined to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

After weeks and weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下傷疤) by the attack of the animal and on his arms were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the injury, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pants legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.

1.The boy’s legs were scarred by_______.

A. his mother B. an alligator

B. She was much too determined to let go of the boy.

C. Her nails dug into the boy’s flesh to hang on to the boy.

D. The boy lifted his pants legs to show his scars.

4.What did the boy think of the scars on his arms?

A. fearful. B. Shy. C. worried. D. Proud.

5.What is the best title of the passage?

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．“I was a clothes addict．” he jokes．“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．“I am working harder than ever．” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable．”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work．In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual．In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）．This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”．“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．” said business consultant Maisly Jones．

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code．” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code．” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士氣）．Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity．Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money．“Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said．“For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes．”

1.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because ________．

A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt

B．he couldn’t stand a clean appearance

D．he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes

2.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because__________．
