It's Really a Miracle (奇迹)
Mr. Clarke works in New York and he brought his family to China last summer. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for New York, the Clarkes climbed the Great Wall. It was the greatest project over two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car. And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn't find the bag in which their expensive camera was. They were all sorry for it. They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!
That evening they didn't have supper. Mr. Clarke hoped to make them happy, so he said, “Well, let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-story building. One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. But he didn't hurt himself.”
“It was a miracle!” called out his children, “Why?”
“Because he lived on the first floor!”
They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy found it under a big tree and he asked them to find out who lost it.
“It's really a miracle!” the Clarkes said happily.
Our life has become easier and more colorful because of mobile phones and the Internet. However, a number of worrying problems have come along with them.
Many car accidents are caused by mobile phones. Some drivers use mobile phones to get on the Internet while driving. Looking at their mobile phones and not at the road, these drivers have become a danger to us all.
Many of the dangers of the Internet are well known. Children who visit websites without their parents‘' permission sometimes talk to elder people they don't know and put themselves in great danger. People with blogs sometimes post information of people they don't know on their websites without permission. Some people even use the Internet to get personal information that we do not want them to have.
Mobile phone and the Internet safety tips：
Use a ‘hands-free' phone if you need to use a mobile phone when you drive.
In difficult driving situations such as in rain or snow, do not use your phone at all.
Do not make very important phone calls while driving. They take your attention (注意力) off the road.
Tell your children not to talk with anyone they do not know on the Internet.
In an embarrassing situation (尴尬场合), be careful with people around you.
Don't give out any personal information on the Internet.
