　　The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it?

　　What is the Internet?

　　The Internet is a large, worldwide collection(聚集) of computer networks(网). A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. Once you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web.

　　What is the World Wide Web?

　　The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. The Web is like a big electronic(电子的) book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages.

　　You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Inter-net instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.

　　What is e-mail?

　　Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It's much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter.

　　If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots(点) and an “@”(meaning “at”). This is what an address looks like: emily @ star. net. Write a message, type in the person's e-mail address, then send the message, type in the person's e-mail address, then send the message across the internet. People don't need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office since the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting－that's the Internet!

I like the teacher__________classes are very interesting and creative.

Different colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are. 
“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?” says Verity. “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(产品)as being a bit unpleasant. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design（设计）new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”
During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. 
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it’s up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.
