　　“Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather,”Englishmen often say．This really tells us something about England and it is true．From these words we can see Englishmen believe that what happens in England is not the same as what happens in other places．And any foreigners staying in the country for longer than a few days will be sure of the truth of the words．

　　Only in England, it has been said, can one go through four seasons in one day．The day may begin as a gentle morning, an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and it may rain heavily．At noon it may become winter and the temperature may drop by eight or more degrees．And then in the late afternoon the sky will clear up, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer．

　　In England one can go through almost every kind of weather except the best or the worst．Some foreigners seem to think that for ten months of the year the country is covered by fog．It is not true．We never know when the different kinds of weather will occur．Not only do we get a few different kinds of weather in one day, but also we may get winter weather in summer and summer weather in winter．

1．Who often enjoy talking about weather?

2．Is the weather in England the same as that in other countries?

3．How many seasons can one actually go through in one day in England?

　　●Some web sites are wonderful, but some the teenagers should stay away．

　　●Chat rooms(聊天室)are probably the most dangerous places on the Internet．

　　Caution：Be sure you know who you are“Iming”with, and know that anything you type could be sent to the right people．Or don’t send any information about yourself to others．And be especially careful about using cameras during an IM meeting．You don’t have to answer any messages that make you feel uncomfortable．

　　●Now, people and companies are using Emails to send out messages to thousands of people at a time, encouraging them to buy something, do something, or visit a web site．

　　Caution：In general, it’s best not to answer junk mail(郵寄宣傳品)or mail from someone you don’t know．If you answer with your personal information, for example, your home address to the sender, that information can be used to send you more junk mails or get you on even more lists．

　　In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in the cities．They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there．Services such as hospitals and transport(交通)are usually much better in cities than they are in the country．They hope that their lives will improve when they move

to the city．

　　But in the big cities of Europe and America——London, Pairs, New York, people are moving out of the city．These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life．They are tired of the noise and the dirt(灰塵)of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses．They don't want to sit in traffic any more．They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn't polluted．

　　So they move out．Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep and cows and green fields! There, they start new lives and try to make new friends．

　　Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy．After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake．They don't make so much money and there isn't much to do．Country people are very different and aren't always very friendly．

　　As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city．“It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,”they say,“I'm so glad I'm back in the city!”
