26、Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.
Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’re connected to the Internet, there are a lot of things you can do. You can send emails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can communicate with your friends through social software such as QQ, WeChat, Facebook and so on. You can also deal with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).
There are many different types of computers now. They all can be linked to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.
There are lots of places for you to surf the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can explore the Internet to search for useful information or knowledge in your classroom. However, in order to prevent yourself from playing with computer games, you should use it in limited time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at any time.

27、I got the opportunity to pursue an unmatchable educational vision at Stanford University. I was flooded with feelings of relief and excitement. It was a miracle that the American Dream had exposed its colors in my favor.
Upon arrival at the campus, ambition burned within me. I imagined becoming President of the Student Union, a member of Cardinal Calypso, and so on. I wanted Stanford to be a place for me to really learn about the vast world.
I was extremely occupied beyond the classroom. As an active member of nearly twelve VSOs (Voluntary Service Overseas), I could hardly focus on my study. Ultimately, my academic journey at Stanford was characterized by a lack of consistency (连贯性). The letter informing me of my academic suspension (停学) did not come as a surprise.I knew I would have to face consequences.
Fortunately, Infomineo, a research organization, offered me the opportunity to complete a six-month internship (实习) . This experience has done wonders for me, giving me insight into who I am, what I want to do, where I want to be, and how I can get there. I should have known that the freshman year is about testing out courses and extra-curriculars, and that each decision should end up helping me in the future.
Most significantly, I’ve learned big changes are born of little consistencies. This is what I will carry for the rest of my life, especially at Stanford University. Consistently attending professors’ classes or routinely setting aside time to review notes outside the classroom. This is where I stand now, and ready to tackle Stanford again. This time, with clearer sight of how to accomplish my goals, I feel that I have detected and revealed a new power within me.
【1】How did the author feel when arriving at Stanford?

A.Demanding.
B.Beneficial.
C.Fruitless.
D.Risky.
【4】What lesson has the author learnt?
A.Dreams work wonders.
B.Changes promote progress.
C.Consistencies make the difference.
D.Opportunities favor the prepared mind.
28、When considering places to visit in China, thoughts invariably drift to the same old sites, like the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army and the Bund. Look a little farther, however, and you can find some truly fascinating scenery and settings you’ve probably never heard of.
Houtouwan — A village like no other
Located on Shengshan Island, Houtouwan was once home to a fishing community. In the 1990s, however, much of the population left as the fishing routes dried up and opportunities arose on the mainland. Left completely to Mother Nature’s designs, Houtouwan has been transformed into a truly fascinating ghost village over the years, like the set of a horror movie!
Houtouwan is not an easy place to get to. From Shanghai, you will need to transfer between land and water vehicles several times to finally reach there.
Crescent Lake — An oasis in the desert
Out west, there’s a whole different world to be explored — Crescent Lake. It is part of a literal oasis in the desert that surrounds Dunhuang in Gansu. The crescent-shaped body of water has been preserved so visitors can enjoy one of nature’s true rarities.
Crescent Lake is located just a 15-minute taxi ride from Dunhuang.
Old Dragon’s Head — The Great Wall you’ve never seen before
One of the most unusual places to explore the Great Wall is Old Dragon’s Head, where the wall meets the sea in Qinhuangdao. The waves crashing against the stones stirs up a certain poetry. After checking out the wall, you can relax yourself on the beach.
Old Dragon’s Head is part of the Shanhai Pass section of the wall. It can be reached by taxi from Qinhuangdao train station.
Panjin Red Beach — The world’s most beautiful marshlands
Red Beach, located in Panjin, Liaoning province, forms part of what is the biggest wetland in the world. The weeds of the beautiful marshland area are flaming red. Stilted walkways have been installed so visitors can explore without harming the otherworldly weeds.
From Panjin train station, bargain with the local taxi drivers to take you directly to Red Beach.

29、In 2011, Bloomberg selected the World’s 10 Best Transit Poems. Here’s one of them:
To You
Walt Whitman
STRANGER! If you,
Passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me.
Why should you not speak to me?
And why should I not speak to you?
Poetry has always been a special way to communicate emotions. And usually, reading poetry is an activity done at home or in the library. But now, a new project has made poetry part of the daily lives of those who commute. Recently Shanghai Metro started the project —— Poetry on the Underground, in which commuters can read poems while travelling on the underground. This is similar to the project of the same name that has been running since 1986 in London.
Judith Chernaik, founder of London’s Poems on the Underground, said that the poems could be from great poets or unknown lovers of English poetry. In Chernaik’s view, these poems —— known as a wonder of the city —— aim to bring poetry to passengers, and show a wide range of styles. The styles may range from classical to contemporary, domestic to international.
Whether you love or hate poetry, this project “has proven to be an excellent way of introducing poetry, with passengers often wanting to read more”, according to the local government organization Transport for London.
The project also covers current events. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Londoner Michael Rosen wrote a poem to share his experience of 48-day intensive care earlier this year. The poem was shown on the London underground. “We had a very strong feeling that the times have been so difficult for everybody in all kinds of ways,” Chernaik told The Telegraph. “Although normal life is starting to resume, we all know it’s still very dangerous. We felt a strong sense of responsibility. We felt our poems needed to acknowledge the problem but also offer some hope.” Indeed, it’s often poems with love and reassurance that strike a chord (共鸣) with people.
Many have been posting lines from poems on the social networking platform Instagram. One post includes the lines “And you will find your feet / Again on fresh pastures of promise” from Time to be Slow by John O’Donohue. Another has the lines “Everything changes / We plant trees for those born later” from Cicely Herbert’s Everything Changes.
The project reminds us that even through troubled times, poetry reminds us we are human. The more reminders of that, the better.
