    How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.

    For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have access(机会) to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.

    Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览) the Internet.

    A few other tips

    ●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.

    ●Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.

    ●Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.

    ●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

    The passage is mainly about the subject of _______.

    A. American children going on-line             B. Internet in America

    C. appreciating Internet                              D. opposing children’s on-line

    The best way to protect children from improper material is _______.

    A. to install (安装) a content screener on the computer

    B. to buy some search engines for the children

    C. to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet

    D. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong

    Which of the following is right according to the passage?

    A. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children

    B. Children’s not having access to Internet may have effect on their progress.

    C. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.

    D. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.

    According to the passage, we can infer that _______.

    A. soft wares fit for children want programming

    B. a child who is on-line is in danger

    C. Internet is a jungle full of danger

    D. Internet contains a lot of harmful sites

    信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

    阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。

    以下是五位专家的建议。请匹配这些建议及对应的生活感想或经验介绍（A、B、C、D、E和F）。选项中有一项是多余选项。

    You should watch where your weight accumulates．You can use the waist to hip ratio to find if there is too much fat around the middle．Belly fat is especially dangerous because it release free fatty acids directly to the liver, virtually flooding it with fat.

    If a particular food is important to you, eat it, but work it off．You should try to learn the art of compromise.

    At the same time．the three-for-one is relatively simple to use．Fat grams and calories are listed on almost all boxed, canned or packaged foods —— you have only to read the label and follow the rule．A five-year-old patient of mine can do this.

    Drinking water is basic, and drinking enough of it is necessary．Patients are sometimes surprised that basic things work when they do them consistently.

    Consume antioxidant foods．They protect the cholesterol(胆固醇), from oxidative damage, which helps prevent damage to blood…vessel walls.

     A．More than nine years ago I was 70 pounds overweight and wore a very big dress．I had tried different diets and lost weight only to gain it back．Finally a simple “three-for-one’’ fat rule worked for me：consuming no more than three grams of fat for every 100 calories per serving．Following the rule and eating only foods that contain less than 30 percent fat, I spent eight months getting down to a size seven, and I’ve kept the weight off for nine years.

     B．And for foods that aren’t packaged, you rely on what we already know about them．Red meat, as well as dishes made or served with butter, gravy, cream sauce or cheese, are almost never less than 30 percent fat——so you just don’t eat them．On the other hand, some non-packed foods——all fruits and vegetables except avocadoes and olives——always pass the test．So do most fish, but not when fried.

    C．I like vegetables, which are rich in vitamins．Most foods containing vitamins C and E（such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli）are low in calories and are known as antioxidants（抗氧化物质）．They can help reduce the possibility to develop hardening the arteries（动脉）.

     D．I gain weight around the belly—what we call abdominal obesity, the worst kind．The tendency seems to be hereditary（遗传的）, and it’s common among men．This problem increases the risk of a stroke or heart attack．A guide I use in estimating belly fat is the waist-to-hip ratio or WHR．To find yours, divide the circumference（周围）of you waist by the circumference of you hips．Women with ratios above 0.8 and men with ratios above 1.0 are at increased health risk.

     E．My ways of keeping healthy are very simple, and they are among our everyday activities：eating healthy food and doing exercise．In addition, I manage to do those basic things, such as drinking water, sleeping well and eating less fat．Sometimes I do some of the other things I used to do in my life like walking for half an hour a day.

     F．Although I've put on ten pounds．I'm healthy and in good shape．I eat food that’s good for me…but I work off Susan’s homemade brownies（巧克力蛋糕）, for example．To offset these extra calories, I walk for an hour or more, three times a week…often with Susan．We’re both busy and this is one way we have some quiet time together．Equally important, it permits me to practice dieting fine art of compromise.

    A low-carbon lifestyle means cutting carbon dioxide emissions and living a life characterized by low-energy use, low consumption and low spending. This way of living is being accepted by a growing number of average people in China.
    Before low-carbon became a popular word here, some environmentally conscious people known as "Lohas" had already devoted themselves to living green, low-carbon lifestyles. Lohas is for "lifestyles of health and sustainability." It was first introduced in 1998 by American sociologist Paul Ray and later became a popular lifestyle in western countries. After this concept was introduced into China a few years ago, Lohas was translated into a proper Chinese word "lehuo," meaning happy living.
    Zhang Tao from a joint venture in Beijing is a Lohas supporter and follower. He and some others set up a Lohas club two years ago. They often get together to share their experiences about living green lifestyles or to volunteer for environmental protection activities.
    Zhang says Lohas is both a lifestyle and an attitude towards life rather than just a fashion or slogan.
    "A Lohas lifestyle means a natural and healthy life with low costs. We don't drive cars, and we try our best to save water and electricity. Some people misunderstand us as being too stingy. But in fact, most of us are well-paid. We don't do it to save money, but for the sake of the environment. Living a rich life doesn't mean you can waste resources. We hope what we do can help save energy and reduce the pressures on earth. I know our personal strength is too small, but the changes will be great if everyone can make a little contribution."
    64. A low-carbon lifestyle has the following features except_______.
    A. low energy     B. low wages     C. low consumption   D. low spending
    65. A Lohas is most likely to_______.
    A. drive a car to work every day   B. save money to live a better life
    C. turn off the tap when not using   D. leave the light on day and night
    66. What does the word “stingy” mean in the last paragraph?
    A. generous               B. mean              C. rich                D. willing
    67. In Zhangtao’s opinion, _________.
    A. Lohas is just a fashion or form     B. one shouldn’t get well paid
    C. one should live a happy life             D. environment protection depends on everyone

    Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day． "I was a clothes addict, "he jokes．" I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．" Today David wears casual clothes – khaki pants and sports shirt – to the office． He hardly ever wears a necktie． "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable．"
