      We are all busy talking about and using the Internet ,but how many of us know about the history of the Internet?

      Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s.At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks(网络)didn' t work well .If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system(系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too.

    However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software(软件) that made “surfing(浏览)” the Internet more convenient (方便).

    Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

   The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

Where do you usually study on the weekends? Some students like to study in the library while others prefer to study at home. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Many students find the comfort of their own space helpful for studying. A familiar environment can make it easier to manage stress. You have all your things around you, and you don't have to think about lunch. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} There are a lot of advantages to studying at home. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Your comfortable bed may keep you from paying full attention to your studies. Don't use a place of rest as a place to work. If your bedroom becomes a place for both, your brain may do both tasks poorly. 

Libraries are specially built for reading and studying. There are lots of helpful books, and you can form a study group with other students. But libraries also have their disadvantages. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} It can be hard to get a seat, and there may be noise. 

It can be difficult to decide whether your home or the library is a better place to study. Some experiments（实验） are needed. Take a task like reading. First, try studying in your living room. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} After each experiment, take notes to describe how you feel and how well you are able to focus. This way you can discover your preferred study environment. 

The film YOLO （You Only Live Once） directed by Jia Ling, has become a great success recently. In the film, Jia plays Le Ying. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} One day, she meets a boxing coach, Hao Kun, and finds interest and hope in boxing training, which changes her life. The actress-director lost 50 kilograms, which became a hot topic on the Internet. 

After watching the film, many people make resolutions to lose weight. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} So how do you make sure you find a training center you like and make you feel comfortable? Here are some suggestions about how to choose a perfect one. 

Find a training center close to your home. 

You can walk to the training center to do some sports, or you can drive less than 15 minutes. If you can find a good place to park your car, your choice may be right. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

No matter which training center you want to choose, you can know about it by reading what other people say about it. No one knows the training center better than the members. 

Visit a training center at your prime workout time （黄金锻炼时间）. 

Saturday afternoon may be the perfect hour to check out a training center. You can go and have a look at it. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Check for clean machines. 

Keeping things clean or not means the gym training center is good or bad. The professional staff should also be cleaning machines throughout the day. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} If not, try another training center. 

Emilio Santana is a fourteen-year-old boy. He is a ninth grader. He spends two hours a day playing 1 every day. He has been preparing 2 something since the third grade. 

He was at the beach. A little girl at the beach was going to the 3 . She took her hat off and her hair went with 4 . She was so 5 and felt embarrassed (尴尬的), and that picture 6 in Emilio's mind for a long time. The young girl's struggle (挣扎) 7 him to do something helpful. He started keeping his 8 to help sick children. They have lost their hair because of illness. 

For many years, Emilio grew his hair 9 one goal (目标) in mind: to give it to people who need it and truly help someone. "Knowing that I could 10 a big part in somebody else's life and bring joy to them, it made me want to change other people's lives into 11 ones," he explained. 

Growing his hair wasn't always 12 . Emilio faced difficulties because he is an athlete (运动员). Keeping long hair while being active in sports was very difficult. He also heard bad words from 13 . "Even when I got some words like 'boys shouldn't have long hair' and things like that, I decided to do it because I get to see 14 smile and make his or her life better." Emilio said. 

He kept going even though he met many difficulties, and he 15 made his dream come true. His hair has been given to children with hair loss (脱发) for free.
