Good evening and welcome to World Views. Earlier in the day, we spoke to three different people about family traditions. Here’s what they said.

① Christmas presents

One of our traditions is to do with Christmas presents. Most people open their presents in the morning, but we open ours in the late afternoon after Christmas lunch. It’s really nice to do so because opening the presents in the morning makes the rest of the day, you know, it’s boring. Well, that’s what we think.

② Birthday cakes

One tradition we have is to do with birthdays, all our birthday cakes have to be carrot cakes. My dad has to make the cake. He even has to make the cake for his own birthday! Perhaps it’s because my mum doesn’t like other tastes cakes. And the funny thing is, we never have carrot cakes at any other time-only birthdays.

③ Special day

We had a tradition in our family for the last day of the summer holidays. The day before we had to go back to school, mum and dad would always take us out for the day. In the morning, we’d get up early and go for a long walk. Next, we’d go for lunch in our favorite restaurant. Then, to the cinema to see a film. Finally, home, where we’d play games. It made going back to school so much better.

1.In the first family, when do they open the Christmas presents?

A. In the morning B. In the afternoon

C. In the evening D. At night

2.In the second family, who makes the carrot cakes for everyone’s birthday?

A. Dad B. Mum C. Kids D. Grandmother

3.Which day is a special day for the third family?

A. Christmas Day

B. Dad’s birthday

C. The last day of the summer holiday

D. The first day of the summer holiday

“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”

“ I checked my e-mail almost forty times a day.”

“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”

“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction* called Internet addiction. According to experts, Internet addicts* spend at least thirty hours online every week. They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.

For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried and looked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him. They called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet---for seven days straight.

A study shows that about seven to ten percent of Internet users become addicted. The teenagers spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people.

Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms*.

★ You go out with your friends less and less.

★ You’ve decided to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.

★ You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.

What is the situation? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for internet use. You have to learn to control it, or the Internet would control you.

1.Internet addicts at least spend ________ hours online every week.

A. twenty B. thirty C. forty D. fifty

2.Some experts worry most about young people because__________.

A. they spend too much time on the Internet.

B. they spend too much time with their friends

C. they get up too early to surf the Internet

D. they spend too much money shopping online.

3.Where may you find this passage?

Our three-year-old daughter Becky wanted a dog. But we were too busy to buy one . One day, Becky ran in, shouting, “Mom! Come to see my dog!” Her face was red with excitement.
