阅读下面的短文,完成下列信息。

It’s no secret that we’re into computers.And why not? On the Internet, we can catch up on news, plan vacations, pay bills and make friends.But for some, once they type their way onto the Internet, they just can’t stop.Internet addiction(沉溺)can happen to anyone who’s lonely, and that includes two surprising groups:college students and homemakers.Away from their families, homesick and overwhelmed, many college students seek connections.Their brightest freshmen were failing to maintain good grades, they realized half were using the Internet excessively(过度地)!They couldn’t forbid it, because students needed it for schoolwork.So they provided counseling(咨询)to help students adjust to college-and a year later, the number of web junkie flunkers(不及格的学生)dropped by half.And homemakers are prone to(有……的倾向)addiction too, if they’re shy.But the more on-line connection vulnerable(易受伤害的)people make, the more they may neglect the connections they hold in real life.In recent study,51 percent of men and 42 percent of women named the Internet as one of the reasons they were not getting enough sleep! And 68 percent of Internet addicts surveyed(被调查的)said their on-line usage was destroying their relationships.The person will retire to the computers at night instead of the bedroom and to cyberspace(网络空间)relationships with strangers instead of communication with families.There are steps to take to make sure your family doesn’t get hooked(上瘾,入迷),such as:Putting the computer in a common area like a living room where you can’t spend hours on-line; using a timer to limit on-line time; joining a club or taking up a hobby.Anyone with balance and face-to-face contact with others isn’t likely to get hooked.Your family member or friend could be a cyberholic(电脑狂)if:They’re lying about how much time they spend on-line.They’re spending more and more time on-line and less and less time with you.They get anxious when they try to cut back on on-line time.They’re losing sleep to go on-line.

阅读下面的短文,完成下列信息。

  Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the ?Guinness Book of Records.It is 1510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St.Helena, and 1950 miles west of Africa.Discovered by the Portuguese admiral(葡萄牙海军将)of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.

  Coming in a close second-and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land-is Easter Island, which lies 1260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcaim Island, and 2300 miles west of South America.

  The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea.They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1000 huge stone figures, called moat, for which the island is most famous.

  On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name.Today,2000 people live on the Chilean territory(智利领土).They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.

1.The passage is about ________.

2.Tristan da Cunha is named after ________.

3.One record that Tristan da Cunha hold is ________.

请同学们阅读下面的短文,然后完成后面的阅读任务。

Venice’s Carnival

  Venice, a small, waterside city in northeast Italy, boils with happiness and excitement once every year.Between February 21 and March 4,carnival(狂欢节)hits the streets.For most people, carnival means large parties and feasts(盛宴).But in Venice, it also means traditional masks(面具)and costumes(服装).These costumes originally(最初地)meant to hide personal identities(身份).Different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.Along the waterways, people greeted each other with:“Good morning, Mrs.Mask.”

  Today, people in Venice still dress up in the strangest ways-as armed soldiers, butchers, fishermen and so on.Bars and cafés are filled with party-goers who come to show off their fancy(奇异的)costumes.Their designs and creations are made by special studios.Ready-made costumes are not acceptable.“In the months before the carnival we work overtime to meet the demand,” said a mask maker.“Many kilometres of silk and lace(花边)are made into costumes.For shopkeepers, carnival is the best time of the year.”

  The Venice carnival dates back to the Middle Ages.At that time, the city was one of the wealthiest cities in Europe.The tradition of celebrating with masks and costumes is thought to have been started by the “Stocking Companies”.These were groups of young men who organized parties and festivals and wore colourful stockings to distinguish(区分)themselves.

  By the 18th century, the carnival had reached its peak(高潮).It all came to an end when Napoleon conquered(攻取)Venice in 1797.

  Now the Venice carnival attracts huge crowds from all over the world.This year, about 700 000 people were taking part.Hotels were fully booked in advance, and bars and restaurants overflowed(爆满)every day.

  The city certainly benefits(得益).A whole industry has been built up around the carnival’s masks and costumes.“The Venice carnival is a magical(迷人的)time!It’s such a great experience,” said one French tourist.

Question:

Say something about Venice’s carnival in your own words.
