2 . If your child has mobile Internet access, it will be more difficult to monitor(监督) and control his or her Internet use. Kids are turning to the Internet for everything from hanging out with friends to shopping, which makes it harder for parents to keep track of their online activities. Fortunately, there are many choices for controlling what your kids see on their computers, laptops, and mobile devices.

Content blockers and filters are great tools to use for younger kids. They allow you more control over where they go and what they do online. A content blocker can block some unhealthy websites or limit a child's search to the kind of sites. A content filter can scan sites and pictures and block   those   sites   that   contain   certain words, key phrases, or content.

Consider tracking software for older teenagers. This software enables you to see which sites your children have visited, tracking their paths online. This tool gives young people more freedom to explore the Internet, but it also allows you to check that they are using the Internet responsibly.   Let your teenagers know   that you trust them, but that you will be regularly checking that they are visiting appropriate sites online.

Even if you use content blockers, filters, and trackers, you know that a lot of kids figure out ways to get around these, so   it's important to remain alert (警惕的). Remember that not all adult sites can be identified by blocker,   filter,   or tracker software. That's why it's important to talk to your kids about what to do when something inappropriate or scary comes   up. Nothing can replace involvement and supervision (监督) by adults. Keep monitoring how your kids use the Internet on a regular basis without getting into the role of Internet traffic police.

3 . From the beginning of the Internet, online dating (约会) has become one of the most popular things to all the consumers (顾客)．Although this may be fun, it is important to remember to think of your safety when trying to meet that certain somebody.When talking about safety I am referring to taking care of your computer and yourself.

Before getting into the world of online dating you should make sure you take care of protecting your computer.A good fire wall and an anti­virus program are a must. These are needed to protect your emails and anywhere you surf on the Internet.   There are many great programs offered at your local computer store or available to buy online.   With great programs often come some pretty good costs.   There is something that is better for the people who just can't afford the cost of a good anti­virus—you can find quite a few decent ones on the Internet for free.

Protecting yourself could surely be much more important than protecting your computer. You want to be careful in choosing your dating sites. Do some good research. If you know anyone who has tried an online dating   service，ask them what they thought. There are so many online dating sites that you should do extensive (广泛的) researches. Make sure you keep the web addresses. Keep a list of fees, regulations and anything else that looks interesting to you. If a place looks shady or makes you feel uncomfortable then you should steer clear away. At the end of the day make sure you take care of yourself.

4 . Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there.     1     They teach you a lesson, or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

    2     They may be a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger. Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible at first, but later you will find that without those difficulties you would have never realized your potential.     3     It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and completely pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, help to create who you are and who you become.     4     In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If some people love you, give love back to them not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

    5     They have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to.

F．Without these small tests, life would be like a smooth road to nowhere.

G．If you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

5 . Every student will be     1    (face) with the question when he    2    (pass) the College Entrance Examinations: Should we choose a good major (专业) or a good university first?

Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn     3     they are interested in. It will also make     4    possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think     5    (different) believe that the environment is important to one's     6     (develop) and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely     7    (find) a good job.

In my opinion，the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing     8    (consider) is a good major, because no matter     9    we study, we can still achieve a lot in     10    certain field if we try our best.

6 . Many people turn to doctors or self-help books, but they forget a great thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the danger for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties(关系) could improve brain health as we age.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well realized,” said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”
While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. Only smoking was as important a danger factor (因素) as having little social support.
The exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isn’t clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen, a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
