In the early 1990s,the word” Internet” was strange to most people. But today, Internet has become a useful tool for people all over the world. Maybe Internet has been the greatest invention in the field of communication in the history of mankind（人类）

Communicating with others on the Internet is much faster. We can chat with a person who is sitting in the other part of the world. We can e-mail our friends and they can read the e-mails within a minute.

Giving all kinds of information is probably the biggest advantage of the Internet. We can use search engines to find the information we need. Just type in a keyword or keywords and the search engine will give us a list of suitable websites to look at.

We can enjoy a lot on the Internet by downloading games, visiting chat rooms or surfing （浏览）websites. There are some games for free. We can meet new and interesting people in the chat now. We can also listen to music and see films.

Now ,there is a lot of service on the Internet such as online banking ,job finding and ticket buying. We can also do shopping and find nearly all kinds of goods. Sometimes we can find something that is quite good but very cheap.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I

often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at

everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football

team．

    Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something

special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”

    When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0, I

wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．

    I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he

hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I

 was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world famous astronaut．He was my dad．

    My parents and I went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big

hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged.

    The third prize was announced and it was not me．I was relieved and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．

    I went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this

is the proudest moment of my life．’’

    It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a

Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
      People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted.

People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.
      Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
      Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle . To prove this to yourself, look at an object of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
7. We should take good care of our eyes .

  A. only when we can see well        B. only when we cannot see perfectly
  C. even if we can see well           D. only when we realize how important our eyes are
8. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably .
