Journalists use it {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(find) information for stories. Doctors use it to learn more about unfamiliar diseases and the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(late) medical development. When we are talking about it , it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (use) by ordinary people for shopping, banking, bill-paying, and communicating with family and friends. It has the magical power to connect one with people from {#blank#}5{#/blank#} countries and cultures. However, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the Internet has many advantages , there are also certain fears and concerns connected with it. One concern relates to a lack of control over {#blank#}7{#/blank#}appears on the Internet. On television and radio there are restrictions (限制）on what kinds of programs can  be broadcast, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} on the Internet it is not the case. Parents cannot determine what is suitable {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their children to see because the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appear) of any information is not under their control.

    Street art is a very popular form of art {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is spreading quickly all over the world.

    You can find it on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (building), sidewalks and street signs. Now even art museums and galleries {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (collect) the works of street artists.

    People often have different opinions about street art. Some think it is a kind of destruction (破坏) and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.

    In the street art world graffiti (涂鸦） can be the most popular. It began in New York in the 1960s. First some young people painted words and images on the walls. They found the paintings could show their {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(disagree) against society. Later, this colorful, energetic style of writing became {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (know) as graffiti.

    Street artists do this for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} reason. Some of them think they are closer to the people, while others try to express their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (politics) opinions.

    In today's world, the Internet has a big influence {#blank#}9{#/blank#} street art. Artists can show their pictures to audiences all over the world. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of cities. It will continue {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (change) and grow.

    Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for —{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) stadium, theatres, shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2, 000 years.

    Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22, 000 people. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lie) at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (century), so the people of Pompeii felt that they were in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (safe).

    In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ashes began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii 6{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bury) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.

    From then on, Pompeii remained under stones and ashes. Then an Italian scientist {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (name) Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (slow) and carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug.The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79.There were streets and fountains, houses and shops.There was a stadium {#blank#}9{#/blank#} 20, 000 seats.Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Ginseppe has died, but his work continues.

    Is Climate Change Consuming Your Favorite Foods?

    Due to climate change, the world's endangered lists are no longer just for animals. We may not only need to adapt ourselves to living in a warmer world but a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tasty) one as well.

    As the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the air linked to global warming {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (continue) to affect weather, we often forget that they are also impacting the quantity, the quality, and the growing locations of our food. Some foods have already felt the impact while {#blank#}3{#/blank#} may even become scarce within the next 30 years.

    Whether or not you try to limit yourself {#blank#}4{#/blank#} one cup of coffee a day, the effects of climate change on the world's coffee-growing regions may leave you little choice.

    Rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall patterns are reported to have been threatening coffee plantations in South America, Africa, Asia, and Hawaii. The result? Significant cuts in coffee yield.

    According to organizations like Australia's Climate Institute, half of the present coffee-producing areas {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (estimate) not to be suitable by the year 2050, if current climate patterns continue.

    With temperatures continuously rising, oceans are absorbing some of the heat and undergoing warming of their own, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cause) a decline in fish population, including in lobsters that are cold-blooded creatures, and in salmons (鲑鱼) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} eggs find it hard to survive in higher water temperatures. Warmer waters also encourage some poisonous marine bacteria to grow and lead to illness in humans whenever {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (take) with raw seafood, like oysters.

    And how about that satisfying “crack” which you get when you are eating crabs and lobsters? It could be silenced {#blank#}9{#/blank#} shellfish have been struggling to build their calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) shells, which is a result of ocean acidification.

    Even worse is the possibility {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we will have no seafood to enjoy at all. In a 2006 Dalhousie University study, scientists predicted that if over-fishing and rising temperature trends continued at their present rate, the world's seafood stocks would run out by the year 2050.
