     As a father, I always do my best to help my son, Peter. I like to help him with his study. I encourage
him to join team sports. I send him to the summer camp if he wants to go. I also teach him to be both a
good student and a useful man.
     He used to make me feel proud. I often thought he was the best son and I was the best father in the
world.
     However, things changed two years ago. It was Peter"s 12th birthday. My wife and I bought him a
computer as a present. We thought it was necessary for him to learn how to use a computer in the modern
world. We knew that some children were addicted (上瘾的) to computer games and that they didn"t study
or work at all. Someone said that computers and the Internet were bad for children, but I didn"t worry
about it. I trusted (信任) my son. I believed that he could control himself. Peter did very well at first. He
played computer games, but for only two hours every week. Most of the time he studied or wrote articles
on the computer. We felt very happy to see that.
     When we finally learned that Peter was also addicted to computer games, it was too late. He didn"t like
studying at all. He no longer joined team sports. Sometimes we even couldn"t find him at night. He spent
several days and nights at the Internet cafe. We tried everything to help him, but nothing worked. What
should we do?

1. Why did the writer think his son was the best in the past? [     ]
A. Because his son joined many team sports.
B. Because his son was a good student.
C. Because his son always made him feel proud.
D. Because his son loved him very much. 2. How old is Peter now? [     ]
A. 10 years old.
B. 12 years old.
C. 14 years old.
D. 16 years old. 3. What did the writer buy for his son as a birthday present two years ago? [     ]
A. A computer.
B. Some computer games.
C. Some books.
D. A computer book. 4. How long did Peter play computer games at first? A. About two hours every day.
B. About two hours every week.
C. About two hours every month.

根据短文内容，按要求答题。 Dear Helen,
     This has already been a great trip and I haven"t even left the airport yet! Even leaving Shanghai was
exciting. We went to Pudong (浦东) International Airport on the new super fast train. It travels at four
hundred and thirty kilometers per hour! Before the train line was built, it took a long time to get to the
airport by taxi or bus.
     We have quite a long time to wait here in Hong Kong before we fly to London tomorrow. In the old
Hong Kong airport only had a few small televisions, but the new airport has lots of super sized televisions
showing sport, comedy (喜剧) and music shows. The old airport only had a few shops selling newspapers
and books, but the new airport has shops selling all sorts of different things. The new airport hotel offers
many special service-including a foot massage (按摩) service! Dad said we can go there later to relax
(放松).
     There weren"t many restaurants in the old airport, but it"s hard to decide which restaurant to go to
in the new airport. There are so many different ones with food from all over the world. I left my bag in
a restaurant and I thought I lost it, but it was safe in the lost and found (失物招领处) house.
     The airport has a bus that can take you for a quick sightseeing and shopping tour of the city. I hope
you are well!
     See you soon!
