VIII.Reading comprehension(15 mark)
A
millions of people from all over the world use the internet to communicate, get information and play games. However, using the Internet can have positive and negative effects on young people.
As for positive effects, children can use it for searching useful articles and materials. Also they can do their homework on computers instead of writing down.
The Internet gives children possibilities to learn about new things in life, and discover how people live all over the world. Children can communicate with their friends and relative who live far away. In addition, they can make friends and talk with people in foreign countries.
However, there is much information that can be dangerous to children and damage their development. When children surf the Internet, they can easily be tempted into something that is not proper. When kids start communicating with strangers on line,they don’t know that they can be talking to a sick or harmful person and may meet the person later. Another is that many children play only games rather than learn online. Too much sitting before the computer can be unhealthy and result in stress injuries, obesity(肥胖)and social isolation.
Parents have a big responsibility to guide and guard their children and instruct them what is allowed to do, helping them to stay away from the possible dangers by setting sensible rules and knowing what their children are interested in.

B
My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t to going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was twelve and first read this letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “right now ,you are pretending(假装)to be a time-killer. But I know that one days,you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.”you will do something great.” he didn’t know what that would be,and neither did I,but at times in my life when I have felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were there, so I could ask,”Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”
A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Recently, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in somebody else--it’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids do hold back because they are afraid to fail. They are only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear was the same mine before I got my father’s letter--they are afraid of disappointing us!
Give your children permission to succeed. They are waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: that belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their beliefs in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts.
“Don’t worry,you’ll do something great. ” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
