Can we live without salt? No, salt is very to us. We need salt in our food. Animals need it, too.
Most of the salt in our comes from the sea. People dig great pools and let the sea water in. When the sun up the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and beautiful.
There are a lot of salt wells in Sichuan. A salt well is much like a water well. People bring the well water up to the ground and then dry it in big pans over fire. In this they get salt.
We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. Nowadays a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.
People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms).Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are:
BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back)
LOL(laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations (缩写). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
info (information) purer (computer)
pic (picture) sec (second)
We usually don't see people when we talk on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feelings”, such as:
:-) (happy) :)- (joking) :-( (sad) :-o (surprised)
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
（happy） 
(sad) 
(angry) 
(cool)
There are even whole new words, like “newbies” (someone who is new on a chat board or forum).When you write something bad about someone else, it's called “flaming” the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating(交流). Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

Dear Mum and Dad
I will go to Kathy's home with her after school and we will have a birthday party for her. Don't 1 me. You know that Kathy is one of my best friends. Please forgive(原谅) me for not telling you first. I don't think you will allow me to do so. But I2 think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends' homes 3. I am sixteen years old and I'm not a little kid any more. I hope I can 4something for myself.
At home, there are too many 5for me: Don't wear a short skirt; don't stay out too late; don't watch TV without finishing homework; and so on. Parents should be strict with teenagers,6we need freedom(自由), too.
I don't like doing my homework alone. I'd love to study with Kathy. We always learn a lot from each other. So please allow me to stay at Kathy's home once a week. If you agree, Kathy can stay at our home with me, too.
Mum and Dad, I can look after myself well. Don't worry.
Yours

What will the home of thefuture look like? Some architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will besmaller, because populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.
They have designed "spaceflats" that are just 30 square meters in size. These flats have three smallrooms: a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, and of course a balcony, buteverything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.
The living room is the mainroom of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a secondbedroom. There is a sofa that can be designed into a bed. The dining table canbe changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and thetable can be folded away and stored into a small space in the wall. There is aflat-screen TV, which can also be used as a computer monitor. In one corner ofthe room, a small cooker, a microwave and a small refrigerator are hidden outof sight.
The other rooms are smallbut practical(实用). The bathroom contains a toilet and ashower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be changed into a sofa, ifneeded. The balcony has enough room for two people to sit and enjoy the viewfrom the block of flats. All the rooms have large windows to let in plenty ofsunshine.
"Space flats" are now beingtested in a building in Hong Kong. "It's wonderful," said one resident(居民)."The flat is so well-designed that you feel that there is plenty of space."
