You’ve probably heard of a lot about the Internet，but what is it?

The Internet is a computer network that uses the telephone system to connect together millions of computers around the world. Maybe that isn’t very exciting but once you’re connected to the Internet，there are lots of different things you can do.You can send electronic messages or e­mails to your friends (as long as they’re on the Internet，too)，or you can sort through all kinds of information on something called the World Wide Web．

You don’t need to know how the Internet works in order to use it，but if you understand the basics，it may help you work out many technical problems you have—and of course you can help your friends with your Net knowledge!

You may think that your telephone is just for talking. But as long as you have the equipment, you can use a telephone line to send computer data as well as sounds. If you connect your computer with the telephone system it can receive information from, and send information to other computers (as long as they are connected with the telephone system，too)．

Because there is not an organization which operates the Internet，no one exactly knows how many people are connected to it. It’s thought that there could be 60 million people on the Net，connected up to over 15 million computers!

You probably have heard of comic book heroes like Superman, Batman and Spiderman. But what about Tom, the motorbike shop owner, Joe Knight and Karen Berman?

Tom, Joe and Karen are all characters in a comic book. But Mr. Knight and Ms. Berman are real people. In 2006, they wrote a book called Financial Intelligence —— a manager’s guide to knowing what the numbers really mean. It was written for people who need to learn quickly about finance (财政). The book explains, in simple ways, often­complex methods of keeping financial information. It became a best­seller.

Recently a comic book, which provides the same information as Financial Intelligence in easy­to­understand picture form, is published by Smarter Comics. This book consists of a textbook and a graphic(插画的) novel. It tells the story of Tom, a repairman who must quickly learn how to direct the motorbike repair shop his father founded. Tom has no experience with finance, and is struggling with the business. Joe Knight and Karen Berman help him. Artist Dave Wachter drew pictures for the comic book.

Franco Arda, the founder and head of Smarter Comics, formerly worked as an investment banker. He started the company almost three years ago with his own money. He wanted to create educational comics that increase understanding. “I think almost everybody understands the phrase ‘a picture says a thousand words’, so, I mean, probably 90 percent of us grew up with comics and they understand that comics help us to learn a concept much quicker than text alone,” he said. “Within an hour, you can get the idea of finance with this book very quickly and not in a boring way. Once you get these pictures, you get the basic knowledge of finance.”

“The new comic book is available in paperback(平装本). There will also be versions for iPad and iPhone users,” he added.

1.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. The development of e­comics.

B. A comic book about finance.

C. A popular book Financial Intelligence.

D. The story of the repairman Tom.

2.Which of the following about the “comic book” mentioned in Paragraph 3 is TRUE?

A. It was written by Mr. Knight and Ms. Berman.

B. It was made for those eager to master finance in a short time.

C. It was one of the best­sellers in 2006.

D. Its main idea is how to run a bicycle shop.

3.According to the passage, we can learn that Franco Arda ________.

A. is the writer of Financial Intelligence

B. read a lot of financial books in the past

C. can finish reading Financial Intelligence within an hour

D. was probably influenced by comic books in his childhood

4.What can we know from the passage?

A. Comic book heroes, like Superman, were created by Franco Arda.

B. Tom is a character of the book Financial Intelligence.

C. People will read comic books through e­media in the future.

D. Financial Intelligence tells many simple methods of running a business.

You may have seen a lot of frogs, but if you haven't, you must have heard about frogs. However, have you heard about a frog that can kill a person?

These small brightly colored amphibians (两栖动物) live in the tropical  rain forests of Central and South America. They are best known for their ability to kill persons even though they are no more than 2 inches long. If we touch their poisonous skin without proper protection (such as gloves), we may die! For animals of this size that can be so deadly, they are certainly one of the world's most poisonous animals! Who are they? They are poison arrow frogs or, simply, poison frogs.

Poison frogs acquired their name from the Indians. The Indians catch and kill many of these frogs before hanging them upside down over a campfire. As the frogs get hot, the poison drips out of their skin. The Indians collect the poisonous liquid in a bottle and dip(蘸) the tips of their arrows into the bottle. Once the tips are dried, they are ready to be used for their arrows for hunting.

There are about 170 different types of poison arrow frogs in the world. Though most species have bright markings, either in stripes or patches, on their black bodies, some just wear noticeable single-colored coats. Their shocking skin colors-usually in yellow, red, green, blue or orange-serve as a warning sign to other animals. The sign simply says,” Stay away or pay with your life!” They certainly do not bluff.

1.We can infer that the Indians may kill poison frogs in order to______.

A. treat diseases                                        B. avoid being bitten

C. hunt animals                                  D. eat their meat

2.According to the passage,  poison frogs______.

A can grow to several meters long                    B. like to change colors on the back

C. have bright-colored skin or markings             D. are on the edge of dying out

3.Which of the following best explains the last sentence of the passage?

A. Poison frogs don't want to kill others.

B. Poison frogs do not just scare others.

C. Poison frogs want to stop others from coming near.

D. Poison frogs just pretend to be dangerous animals.
