Our sun is a star, and nine worlds (天体) move round it. Worlds like these are planets. But here are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. But we haven't been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don't have any light of their own. So we can't see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard's Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard''s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.

The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it?

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a large, world-wide collection (聚集) of computer networks( 网络). A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different kinds of networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. If you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web(网)

What is the World Wide Web?

The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. The Web is like a big electronic (电子) book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.

What is e-mail?

Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It' s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots (点) and an" @ " (means "at"). For example: Lily @ Yahoo, com. Write a message, type a person's e-mail address, then send the message across the Internet. People don't need to use stamps, envelopes  or go to the post office since the invention of the Internet . Quick, easy and interesting — that' s the Internet .

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. 1 is nice to have a friend to talk to, and to do things with. 2 , sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people 3 us. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.

No two people are just the same. Friends 4 don't get on well. It doesn't mean that they no longer 5 each other. Most of the time they will make up（言归于好） and become friends again. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very 6 . We miss them very much, but we can 7 them and write to them. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out 8 we like new people when we get to know them.

There is more good 9 for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't have any friends. Why? It could be true that they are 10 . Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you will take better care of yourself.

When it comes to learning a foreign language, most people would choose English. Millions of people born in non-English speaking countries learn it just from textbooks and spend hours studying English grammar. However, these are the wrong ways to learn English. Let's look at some good ways. 

English media such as music, videos and TV shows are helpful. I come from a small country in Europe. When I was a little boy, there were few local TV shows or songs in my hometown. So my friends and I almost only watched English TV shows and listened to English songs. This, along with the courses we were taking at school, helped speed up our process of learning English. 

Start making conversations in English when you can understand what you hear. While it may seem strange at first, but it would get more natural if you stick to it. I spent a lot of time talking with my friends in English. When we finished primary school we could speak English fluently (流利地). 

I learnt three other languages when I was in college. Now I can confidently say that the only way to truly master a language is to live as though the language were your mother tongue (语言). So just forget about your textbooks and try acting like you live outside of China. Find ways to expose (使接触) yourself to English as much as possible. It will not only make you a better learner but also give you a fresh view of the language.

If someone says you are smart, what do they mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? The answer is not as easy as you might think. That's because the word "smart" has many meanings.

For example, someone could say you look smart. That means they like what you are wearing. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} For example, if you fall off your bike and hurt your leg, you might shout, "Ouch, that smarts!" But the most common meaning of "smart" is to be very clever. So when your friends get good grades at school, we can call them "smart".

Being smart, however, goes beyond (超出……的范围) the classroom. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Some people are book smart. They have attended school for many years and have many degrees. They are well-read. They often know the names of great thinkers, scientists and other famous people in history. They know facts and information that many other people don't.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Sometimes book-smart people are not so smart when it comes to life skills and social skills. They may not be able to deal with people or real-life problems as well as street-smart people. Street-smart people may not have read too many books, but they also have something attractive — the ability to use their experience in many different situations. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Whether you are book smart, street smart or both, being smart is a good thing.

Do you want to be book smart, street smart or both? Why?(第二题用15词左右回答）{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
