First of all,it makes students lazy.If we always get answers easily from the Internet,we will stop thinking by ourselves.This is bad for developing our independent thinking skills. Secondly,not all answers online are correct.We may be misled by wrong information.Most importantly,the real learning happens when we try hard to solve problems by ourselves. Therefore,it's better to try solving problems first instead of depending on the Internet Thinking independently is surly the key to being a good learner. 听力材料 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最 佳答案。每段对话读两遍。 1.M:My grandpa used to smoke after a meal W:Oh,that's bad for his health M:Yes.But now he prefers to walk his dog after a meal. 2.W:We are going to Yunnan.
