如今，网络已成为了人们生活必不可少的一部分，网络方便快捷、信息广泛，可以查找学习资料，可以编辑工作材料，可以打发休闲时间，可是我们真的了解网络吗？今天小雨君要带大家一起来了解一下什么才是Internet。
今天的词组是be clever inat 和 get in touch with。
Good morning, class! Today, I’ll talk about going online. We know that there are too many net-bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting andenjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we learn how to use the computer and get more information from theInternet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. I can send e-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat on line with our friends. It can help us get intouch with people from all over the world. But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net-bars all day and night. As a result, they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t go online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays.
1. enjoyable adj. 愉快的
2. touch v. & n. 接触
早上好，同学们！今天我想要讨论一下上网的问题。众所周知，我们周边有很多网吧。网络让我们的生活变得有趣且愉快。很多人非常喜欢上网，因为我们可以学习如何使用电脑和获取互联网的信息。我们可以学习英语，读优秀的报纸刊物。玩电脑游戏可以使我们变得更聪明。我们可以便利地发送邮件给朋友，还可以和朋友在线聊天。互联网帮助我们和世界上其他各个地方的人取得联系。但是一些学生花费太多时间玩电脑，一些甚至整天整夜地待在网吧。结果，他们的功课越来越差，成绩也不再好了。我认为学习的时候就不能上网。我们可以在暑假寒假再上网。
1. be clever in at 表示“在……方面很聪明”，例如：
He is clever in playing computer games. （他很会玩电脑游戏。）
She is clever at singing and dancing. （她在唱歌跳舞方面很有天赋。）
不过，文中出现的make sb clever in 的意思则稍有不同：It can make us clever in playing computer games.指的是“玩电脑游戏能让我们变聪明。”it 指代的是playing computer games （玩电脑游戏），玩电脑游戏make（使得）我们clever。要注意区分be 和make 的不同作用。
2. get in touch with 表示“与某人联系”，例如：
It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world.（互联网帮助我们和世界上其他各个地方的人取得联系。）
再如：
You can get in touch with your old friends through internet.（你可以通过网络和老朋友联系。）
最后，还是做点题练习一下：
1. Many of us like going online because it can help us .
A. learn English and send e-mails
B. get more information
C. play computer games
D. all of the above
这题有捷径：D. all of the above（上面所有选项）。通常情况下这就是答案了，为了验证一下，我们在文中找到了: Many of us like going online very much because we learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. I can send e-mails to our friends quickly.
2. According to the speaker, in our spare time we should .
A. stay in the classroom doing more exercises
B. go to the English Corner every afternoon
C. do more out-of-class activities
D. the speaker doesn’t talk about it
这一题也是一道陷阱题，也许大家会在文中找了半天都没找到相关内容，那就对了，大家注意选项D. the speaker doesn’t talk about it 是的，作者没有提！！
有些东西文中确实没有提到，不要怀疑自己的眼睛，请仔细阅读选项，读完题目再看文章可以节省很多时间！！
3. Why do some students do worse and worse in their lessons? Because .
A. their lessons get harder and harder
B. they play too much on computers
C. they stay in net-bars too long
D. both B and C
先扫描选项！发现什么了吗？对，就是它D项：both B and C 不放心？咱们可以验证一下，文中找到了：But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net-bars all day and night. As a result, they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more.
4. In this passage, the speaker advises us to .
A. play too many online games
B. read newspaper and magazines instead
C. make good use of Internet
D. go to net-bars at night
这是一道推理总结题，需要我们阅读全文以后根据理解推测结论。全文前半部分讲述的是电脑网络的好处，接着讲述了一些学生滥用电脑和网络，最后给出建议：I think we mustn’t go online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays.（我认为学习的时候就不能上网。我们可以在暑假寒假再上网。）所以，作者是想告诉我们要：合理使用网络。因此选择C。
