Mobile phones and the internet have improved our live in many ways. However, along with improvements, they have also brought a number of worrying problems.
Many car accident are caused by mobile phones. You can use many new mobile phones to get on the internet. This can be very convenient, but some drivers get on the internet while driving. Driving needs all our attention. By looking at their mobile phones and not at the road, these insensitive Drivers are a danger to us all.
Many of the dangers of the internet are well known. Children who visit websites without their parents' permission sometimes talk to older people they don't know and put themselves in great danger. People with blogs sometimes post embarrassing photographs of people they don't know on their websites without permission. There are also people who use the internet to get personal information that we do not want them to have.
Mobile Phone and Internet Safety Tips
If you need to use a mobile phone with you drive use a “hands-free” phone.
In difficult driving situations such as rain or snow, do not use your phone at all.
Do not make very important phone calls while driving. They take your attention off the road.
Tell your children not to talk with anyone they do not know on the internet.
In an embarrassing situation, pay attention to people around you. People will be shy about taking your picture if they know you're paying attention.
Refuse to give out any information personal information on the internet.

   Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful. Fire can make water hot and house warm, give light and cook food. But fire can burn (燃烧) things, too. It can make trees, houses, animals and other things catch fire (起火). If some people can't run away from fire, it can kill them. This happens in every country every year.
   Sometimes big fire can burn forests. A month ago, a large forest fire broke out in Yunnan Province. It lasted nearly half a month. The forest in Heilongjiang Province and the grassland in Inner Mongolia caught fire in May, 2006. After more than ten days' fight, over 30,000 people and soldiers put out (扑灭) the fire at last.
   Nobody knows clearly when people began to make fire, but there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man who went to the sun and brought fire down a long time ago. Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. The match can burn a piece of paper and then it can burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire, and destroy many things. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with fire.

   The London Olympic Games are coming soon. This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watch the exciting games in 3-D on CCTV.
    When you watch 3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair of glasses. The 3-D glasses make the people and the things on the screen look like they are in the room with you.
   3-D, means having three dimensions: width, height and depth. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eye work. Because the pupils of a person's eyes are about 6.5 cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from different angle. Our eyes send the two pictures to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the picture from the right eye and the picture from the left eye make us see depth.
   While watching 2-D films, we don't have to wear the special glasses. We see the pictures in two dimensions, each eye get the same information. This is because there is only one way of watching it.
   So the aim of 3-D technology is to get a different picture into each eye of the person. It uses two film projectors. One projects a left eye picture and the other projects a right eye picture. When we are in the cinema, we can see different pictures in each eye at the same time with the help of the 3-D glasses.
   While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we are watching. However, some people are against watching 3-D films. One of the reasons is the 3-D glasses makes the screen of the film or TV look darker. It is bad for eyes. What's more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to “read” the pictures.

There are some easy things you can do to protect(保护) the environment and the earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with a few of your own.
● Plant flowers, grass or trees.
●Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there--keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin (垃圾箱).
●Turn off the lights, TV sets when you leave the room. This saves (节约)a lot of electricity.
●Turn off the tap (水龙头)when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this saves paper.
●Keep the doors and windows closed in winter to keep warm air in.
●Give your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.
●Give your old clothes to poor children you know instead of throwing them away.
●Use both sides of paper.
●Stop pouring (倒)dirty water into the rivers or the lakes nearby (附近).
●Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the earth.
You don't have to wait until Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day.
If everyone makes a contribution (贡献)to protecting the environment, the world will become much more beautiful.

    Many children think mobile phones are cool. They come in fun colors and let you talk with friends anytime and anywhere.
In the U.S., more than 90 million people use mobile phones. Many of these people are children. For children, mobile phones are more than phone calls. They are fashionable.
    Most mobile phone users don't think about the health problems caused(引起) by mobile phones. Some scientists say that mobile phones give off radiation(辐射) that might be bad for the users. One newest study shows that mobile phone radiation might raise(增加) a person's chance of getting some kinds of cancer(癌症). Other scientists say mobile phones don't threaten people's health. They say that they have not found any link(联系) between phone use and cancer.
    Scientists say that people can protect (保护) themselves from mobile phone radiation. One way is to use a headset(耳机). Or people can make shorter call.

Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.

Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
