Changbai Mountain is in Jilin Province. It’s said to be the most beautiful mountain in the northeast of China. Its name, Changbai, means “ever white” in Chinese, and its whiteness is because of the pumice stones(浮石). You can get there by train or by bus.

Here are some tips for you if you want to visit it:

1. From November to April, heavy snow covers(覆盖) the area. August is the best time to visit it.

2. Be sure to start from your hotel early in the morning, so that you have enough time to see everything and return. Visitors can’t live on the mountain. 　　 

3. Bring food and water with you.

Venice, a city in the northeast of Italy, is famous throughout the world for its buildings and romantic canals (运河). But in February every year, people come to Venice for another reason. The city carnival fills the place with excitement and fun. This year, the celebration runs from February 4 to 21.

Colorful costumes have always played a very important role in the Venetian carnival. The carnival happens at the start of the Christian fasting (斋戒) period of Lent. It was traditionally a time to go a bit crazy with eating, drinking, dancing and dressing up before the fast began. People used masks to hide their social identity so that the nobility(贵族) would look no different from the commoners.

Today the carnival is largely for the tourists. “Venetians don’t dress up for Carnival after the age of 10.” Giuseppina Giudice, who has lived in the city all her life, told the Guardian. “All we see of Carnival is a river of strangers who flow into town to feel ‘Venetian’. They fill it, buy a cheap mask and leave with nothing but photographs of St Mark’s Square.”

Some locals want to bring back the original (最初的) feel of Carnival. In 2009, two social networking groups started organizing their own carnival. Visitors were invited. But there were no expensive tickets or fancy ball dresses---- just an old-fashioned Italian street party. “Tourists are welcome to our party ---- the more we can show them about the real Venice rather than the postcard Venice, the better,” Matteo Secchi, one of the organizers, told the Guardian.

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a worldwide network, linking computers to computers. Each computer runs software to provide or ‘serve’ information, or to access and view information. The Internet transports the information — like a giant plumbing system.

Computers on the Internet can use:

l         electronic mail (email). This allows you to send and receive mail with other computer users.

l         the World Wide Web (WWW). Through the WWW you can view images, look at film clips, hear sound recordings and find information on many interests.

This information is stored on websites.

On the Internet, you can access information stored on other computers, or jump from one page of information to another. Each page has its own address showing its location, just like your home address.

What do you need to use the Internet?

l         A connection to an Internet Service Provider (or ISP). The most commonly used method is across a telephone line with a modem (preferably a fast one).

l         Internet software, e.g. Internet Explorer, provided by your ISP — usually called a ‘browser’.

How does email work?

First, you need an email address. It could look something like this:

Daniel.jones@ozemail.com.au

     If someone sends Daniel an email, the message is received by Daniel’s ISP and waits there till the next time he connects to the Internet. When he connects (that is called logging on) his message is sent down the telephone line to his modem and onto his email program.

     How do you send email?

     It’s a bit like sending a letter. You need to know the email address of the person who’s receiving your letter.

     Type in that person’s email address in the ‘To’ box and type your message. When you’ve finished, click on ‘Send’.

     If someone has already sent you a message, you can just click on ‘Reply’ and type your message. It’s as easy as that.

     Some Internet Codes

     .com  commercial institutions

     .edu  educational institutions

.gov  government institutions

.net  networks

Country Codes

.au  Australia

.jp  Japan

.nz  New Zealand

Email addresses in the USA have no country code, because the Internet originated(起源于) there. For example, the Internet address for Expert Software (made in the USA) is www.expertsoftware.com.

93.   What does ISP stand for(代表)?

94.   WWW can help us look at film clips and find information as well, can’t it?

95.   Where is the information stored?

96.  If your friend sent you an email, what would be the quickest way to send one back?

97.  Why do email addresses in the USA have no country code?

98.  What’s your favourite website? Why?
