In class those students who surf the Internet understand lessons better than the others. Besides, people can use the Internet to write letters o
2、r stories and send emails. Many students communicate with their friends online. You can also make friends by chatting on QQ. It is cheaper than calling somebody far away and its also much quicker. Nearly one third of young people surf the Internet for fun. They like to listen to music, watch films,
3、and go to their favourite stars websites. But can the Internet cause problems? Some of my students who used to study well at school are now failing exams.

5、ages such as French and Spanish each has an official(官方的)organization that tells you whats correct. But there is nothing like that in English. So what can we do?There is, of course, Standard English. This is the kind of English you read in newspapers or in formal letters. It is also the English you
6、learn at school or in textbooks.However, Standard English is not official English. And unbelievably, linguists(语言学家)think Standard English is on the same level as all other types of English such as Cockney English，Yorkshire English, South African English, Australian English, Singaporean English. And
7、 according to linguists, there is no such thing as Standard Spoken English.English is changing all the time. Every year, new words appear and others disappear. Words change too. For example, for many years, the Latin word “agendum“ was the accepted singular form and “agenda“ was the plural form. How
8、ever, these days, very few people use the Latin-sounding “agendum“，with “agenda“ being the accepted singular form, and “agendas“ the plural.Newspapers each has their own style when they write certain things. For example, The Guardian puts dates like “21 July 2011“ (with the day first，followed by the
9、 month and no commas).However, the news agency Reuters writes them like this “July 21，2011“ (with the month first，and a comma(逗号)between the day and the year). Other newspapers have different ways of doing it too. So，as you can see, theres no one “correct“ way-theres a variety of ways and each one i

12、ge is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to read others around us, even if they do not want us to catch their unspok
13、en communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are common.The most common facial expression is, of course, thesmile-its function is to show happiness and put people at ease.It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can
14、 be false, hiding other feelingslike anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such aswhen someone loses face and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning(皱眉头).In most places around
15、 the world, frowning and turning ones back to someone shows anger. Making a fist(拳头)and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will，in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and loo
16、k at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too cl
17、ose to someone of a higher rank(等级).Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language.

Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure(失败).In fact, failure can become experience
20、that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, th
21、e mother describes it as “perfect“ even though it doesnt stand still. The other way is to blame(责怪)others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.Theres a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real life if they dont meet enough failure. The young need to l
