We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know about the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks(网络) didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system(系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software(软件) that made “surfing(浏览)” the Internet more convenient (方便).
Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.
1.The Internet has a history of ______ years.
A. about 40 B. less than 30
C. more than 45 D. nearly 35
2.Scientists set up a new network system to ______.
A. make the computer cheaper
B. make the system work well
C. make the computer go well
D. develop new softwares
3.The Internet was widely used in the ______.
A.1960s B.1970s C.1980s D.1990s
4.The underlined words “get on-line” in Chinese mean ______.
A.上机 B.上网 C.接线 D.买电脑
5.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. In the 1960 s computer network system went wrong easily.
B. Computers are much cheaper than before.
C. Today the Internet is used everywhere.
D. People had enough softwares to get on-line fifteen years ago.

We’ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells (壳) —sleeping.
Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.
In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (触角), are very weak. But its sense (感觉) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.
A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin (大头针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
1. A snail _________.
A. moves more slowly at night B. has thousands of feet
C. doesn’t move at all D. sleeps much of the time

Read the passage and choose the best answer.
We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. Nowadays a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk.
People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms).Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are:
BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back)
LOL(laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations (缩写). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
info (information) purer (computer)
pic (picture) sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we talk on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings.Most people use their keywords to draw “feelings”, such as:
:-) (happy) :)- (joking) :-( (sad) :-o (surprised)
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
(happy) (sad) (angry)(cool)
There are even whole new words, like “newbies” (someone who is new on a chat board or forum).When you write something bad about someone else, it’s called “flaming” the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating(交流). Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
1.We use the Internet for ________.
A.business and shopping B.writing letters and talking to people
C.finding information D.All above
2.Why do people type acronyms?
A.To show their feelings. B.To make jokes.
C.Because people can type them quickly. D.In this way newbies won’t understand them.
3.What does “BTW, my computer is not working well. :-(“ mean?
A.The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B.The person has to go away from their computer.
C.The person is angry at somebody.
D.The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
4.If someone is angry, what may he type?
A. B. C.LOL D.BRB
5.E-talk will probably _________.
A.keep changing B.stay the same
C.be used by people on the telephone D.be easy for newbies to understand
6.The best title for this passage is ________.
A.E-talk B.Picture Feelings
C.How to Use Abbreviations D.The Changing Internet
