The summer vacation is over. It’s true that time always flies fast. During the vacation, the weather was hot and I could not do much work, but I lived happily.
As the afternoon was hot, I did my work in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and did some exercises in maths. Those took me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and made good progress(取得进步).
I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was funny. I would not go home until it was about five or six o’clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend some hours listening to music.
In this way I spent my vacation happily. And I not only studied well but also became a good swimmer. Now I am in good health and high spirits(精神).

Some people remember the things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the notes in obvious(明显的) places, such as on the table or on the floor in the middle of the living room. I don’t think I like to write notes to myself. Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until it’s too late. I prefer to use an alarm clock（闹钟) to tell me what I should do. I have ten alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For example, if I have to make a telephone call at a certain time, I’ll set an alarm clock to go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I want to watch a certain television programme, I’ll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of the TV set. I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks. However, sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don’t know what it means. I always remember setting it, but not why I set it. If the clock is by the telephone, I know I may have set it to tell me to call someone, but I can’t be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a certain time.
（ ）6. Some people like to write notes to themselves so that they can remember what to do at a certain time
（ ）7. The writer doesn’t like to write notes to himself .
（ ）8. The writer often uses a computer to help him \remember things.

More and more advertisements appear on the Web. You have to be careful not to be fooled or tricked(欺骗) by the advertisements on the Internet. Something is said to be a bargain(便宜物品), but it isn’t always cheap. And some so-called new things just have a new outside.
However, shopping online is a kind of fashionable(时尚的) thing today. I love to buy things of everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them on websites online. For example, if I want an MP3, I can choose my favourite one, and look for what the users like or don’t like about it, then decide whether to buy or not. And at the same time, you don’t have to go to a shop or walk around a crowded shopping area, so you don’t have to waste much time.

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people,
finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the
Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.
People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters
(called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are:
BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common
abbreviations are:
info (information) puter (computer)
pic (picture) sec (second)
We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流） on the Net, so people have
new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-) (happy) ;-) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised)
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
(happy) (sad) (angry) (cool)
T
here are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board
or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "flaming" the
person.
It takes time for people to get used to(适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net
have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people
what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
（ ）16.People type acronyms so that they can type them quickly.
（ ）17. “BTW, my puter is not working well.” means that the person is sad that his computer is having problems.
（ ） 18. If someone is angry, he may type “LOL” or “BRB”.
（ ） 19. E-talk will probably be used by people on the telephone.
（ ） 20. The best title for this passage is E-talk
