The Internet has become part of teenage life.

 A new report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often.

 While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way.

 In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as it’s good to read news or find helpful information to study.

 Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline, make sure your parents know. Teachers and parents all think the book is of great help. A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the Internet. She believes it will keep students away from bad sites. “Many students are using the Internet without guidance from their parents,” she said. “The book will teach students how to be a good person in the online world.”

 When I was a kid, I was close to my dad, but as I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart(分开). We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.

   A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.

   Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing(治愈) the old wounds that have kept us apart.

   It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces(使..增辉) my lips.

Go to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.

Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.

Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.

But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother （添麻烦）to cook themselves.

“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.

“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”

In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.

Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.

When interviewed by a student magazine at Edinburgh University, J.K. Rowling said she had once been so depressed(抑郁)that she wanted to kill herself.

  Rowling, 42, went through a low period in her mid–20’s, ending the marriage(婚姻) with her first husband. She had not become famous and rich with the Harry Potter series of books and was a single mother, fighting to earn a living.   

“The thing that made me go for help,” said Rowling, “ was probably my daughter. She was something that comforted me and encouraged me. She cannot grow up with me in this condition.”    

Her first try of getting help was a failure, however. The substitute（替班）doctor who took the place of her regular doctor ignored the signs of her suicide(自杀) and sent her home, telling her to come to speak with the practice nurse if she felt “a bit low”. “We are talking suicidal thoughts here,” said Rowling. “We are not talking about I am a little bit painful.”    

Luckily for Rowling, her regular doctor was more sensitive and called her back into her office and got her in to consult. “She saved me because I don’t think I would have had the courage to go and do it twice.”    

“I have never been ashamed(羞愧) of having been depressed,” added Rowling. “Never. What is to be ashamed of? Nobody can escape a hard time in life. I went through a really difficult time and I am quite proud that I got out of that.”

32. What caused Rowling’s depression? 

A. Her low income.                B. The character of Harry Potter.
