21、The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it? The following questions and their answers will help you to know more about the Internet.

  What is the Internet?

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

  What is the World Wide Web?

  The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic (电子) 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 Internet 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 @ (means “at”). For example: Lily @ Yahoo.com. Write a message, type a person’s e-mail address, and then send the message across the Internet. People don’t need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office because of the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting — that’s the Internet.

Reid tried to draw a sports car like Peter’s. But no pictures looked good. He hated them and threw them away.

“Is there a secret to being a good artist? ” he felt sad and asked his teacher Mrs. Lee for help. “Yes, of course.” said Mrs. Lee. “Draw that car again. No throwing away. Give it to me when you’ re done. Then do a drawing every day. Don’t worry about how bad the drawings are or throw them away. Hand in one picture to me each day for four weeks.

24、

In ancient times, a king had a big stone placed on a roadway. He wanted to see if anyone would move the stone out of the way. Some of the king's richest business men and courtiers (朝臣) came by and just walked around it.

A farmer then came along carrying a large bag of vegetables. When getting closer to the stone the farmer laid down his bag and tried to push the stone out of the road. After trying and pushing for long time, he finally. succeeded.

After the farmer went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a wallet lying in the road where the stone had been. In the wallet there were many gold coins and a note from the king explaining that the gold was for the person who moved the stone from the roadway.
