Internet Boom
Today the Internet is wi-dely used in homes, schools, and businesses around the world. However, that hasn’t always been the case. The In-ternet was first developed in the 1960s and 1970s by U.S. government scientists as a way of sharing information. The earliest Internet was called ARPAnet. In 1969, only four computers were connected to ARPAnet. Just 20 years later, though, as computers became more commonly developed, over 80,000 computers were connected.

Use of the Internet has continued to grow rapidly. Experts think that about 1% of the world’s population used the Internet in 1996. By 2008, that percentage grew to nearly 24%.
How do scientists count more than 1 billion users? Programs called Web Crawlers look through the Internet to see how many people are using the Internet and which pages they are visiting. They also make copies of webpages, which are stored by search engines. Web Crawlers work and collect information once they are started. These programs are sometimes called “spiders” because they “crawl” around the web.
These programs collect and send information 24 hours a day. So if everyone stops using the Internet for one day, the Internet will still be a pretty busy place. Even when people are not online, these programs travel the Internet.

A. is available mainly in the United States

C. The number of the Internet users became less from 2000 to 2008.
D. Use of the Internet grows slowly between 2000 and 2005.

Our English teacher made a survey about online reading and paper reading among the students in Grade 9. I like online reading better.
On the one hand, the Internet is developing so fast that online reading becomes more and more popular. For example, people can read by phones and computers. It’s easier for us to get knowledge and information when we need.
On the other hand, online reading won’t make us lose interest in learning. In

fact, it can open up our minds and make our life more wonderful, but we shouldn’t spend too much time on it after class. I usually read online for half an hour before I fall asleep.
I’m sure online reading can make a difference to my life.
