【推荐1】Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet.If I ask you what the most important in your life is，maybe you will say“computers and the Internet”．

The first computer was made in 1946.It was very big but it worked very slowly.Today computers are getting smaller and smaller.But they work faster and faster.What can computers do？A writer has said，“People can't live without computers today.”

The Internet came a little later than computers.It is about twenty－five years later than computers.But now it can be found almost everywhere.We can use it to read books，write letters，go shopping，play games or make friends.

Many students like the Internet very much.They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free.They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends.They don't know their real names，ages，and even sex.They are so interested in making“unreal friends”that they can't put their heart into study.Many of them can't catch up with others on many subjects because of that.

We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world.But at the same time,we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.

【推荐2】How does a place become a World Heritage Site   ( 世 界 遗 产 )？ It takes a lot of people to decide.

1) If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask JUESCO (联合国教科文组织).The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because it said it was great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.

2) The World Heritage committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meet every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.

3) After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.

4) Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
