Should Museum Entry Be Free With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your idea. Comments (评论) Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are educational. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate (运转), let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to see it because of cost is wrong. Krista Chen (US)-Age 15 Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone. Rich or poor people should never pay an entrance fee (入场费). Rob Sanchez (Australia)-Age 17 There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums keep open. But businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have social responsibility too. Amber White (UK)-Age 16 I think museums should be free to the public. I do, however, think the museums should organize money-raising events twice a year to help pay for the cost of keeping open. Li Mishao (China)-Age 15 |

22、We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know about the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software (软件) that made “surfing (浏览)” the Internet more convenient (方便). Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
