MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very diffe rent about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents’ worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital times.

She is a 15 – year – old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously worried about t he safe problems of MySpace.
“ Every time we hold a parents’ meeting, the first question is always about My Space,” said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研讨会). The National Centre for Missing Children has received at least 288 MySpace – related complaints(相关投诉), according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for trouble – makers and it endangers children,” Buchanan said.

Have you ever heard of it? Does shopping with cash(现金)really help you lose weight? Some scientists have studied for years. The US scientists have 51 (发现) that customers who take debit cards(借记卡)to the shops and 52 (忘)their cash at home are more likely to take junk food from the 53 (架子). That is to say, they are easy to get fat.
There are two reasons leading to this 54 (结果). First, people only think some kinds of food is delicious, but they don’t consider whether it’s healthy or not. 55 (第二), cash payments are more painful than card payments for the customers, so this painful payment can stop them from buying 56 (无论什么)they want.
American scientists even think that one of the 57 (恰当的)reasons why westerners are generally getting fat is that they are paying 58 (用)debit cards most of time. In this case, it is easy for people to 59 (变得)fat. You can find that cash is commonly used by the thin men, and debit cards are used by the fat men.
Maybe those fat men would say 60 (自豪地)that they are rich and they can buy anything they need.

He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one 64 his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. 65 (final) he planted the tree in his wood. But 66 (with) sunlight and good soil (土壤),the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such 67 poor place. "What's the 68 (different)? " the farmer asked 69 (angry).

Hi Betty,
How are you? Hope you’re well. Thank you so much for the scarf that you sent me for my birthday. It’s beautiful and the color really goes with my hair. And it keeps me warm, so I’ve worn it when it’s so cold here nowadays.
I really enjoyed my birthday. Mum and Dad gave me some money because they know I’m saving for a trip to Beijing this summer. My grandparents bought me an English-English dictionary. They think it’ll be useful for me to improve my English. (81 words)

Lots of love,
