　　Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon about eighty years ago．The sailor in that

　　cartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜)to make him strong．People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach．Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets．Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable．

　　Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true．Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable．

　　People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake．About one thousand years ago, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables．This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong, and

　　everyone accepted it．

　　Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is．However, spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid．

　　It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．

Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.

Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’re joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).

There are many different kinds of computers now. They can all be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on peoples desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies (公司) .These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.

There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet. But do you know 98﹪ of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

　　When you are learning English，listening，speaking and writing are important，but reading can also be very helpful．When you read，you can not only learn some new words，but also learn how to use these English words．When you read，it gives you a good example for writing．

　　Good reading tips (建议)：

　　Try to read at the right level (水平)．Read something that you can (more or less)understand．If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary，it is not interesting．

　　Try to increase the number of your new words．If there are four or five new words on a page，write them in your notebook．But you don't have to write them while you read．Instead try to guess their meaning as you read；mark them with a pen．Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary (词汇) book．Then try to remember them．

　　Try to read regularly (定期)．For example，read for a short time once a day．Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday．Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it．For example，you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed，or when you get up or you are at lunchtime．

　　Read what interests you．Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like，because you are going to spend time and money to read it．So choose an interesting book．You can also read newspapers．There are many English newspapers in China．For example，21st Century Teens．It's easy enough for you to understand．There is something interesting in it．
