A POWERFUL INFLUENCE
There can be no at all that the Internet has made a huge difference in our lives. However, most parents worry that their children spend too much time browsing the Internet or playing computer games, hardly ever doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally, parents want to know if these activities are for their children. What should they do if their children spend hours staring at a computer screen?
Obviously, if children spend too much time absorbed in some games instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong. It is a good idea if parents and children decide together how much use should be made of the Internet, and the child should promise that it won’t interfere with homework. If the child does not stick to this , parents can take more drastic steps.
Any parents who are seriously alarmed about a child’s behavior should make an to discuss the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of a computer screen does not necessarily affect a child’s at school. Even if a youngster seems obsessed with the computer, he or she is probably just going through a phase, and in a few months, parents will have something else to worry about!
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Every year, the average temperature of the Earth's surface gets a little bit warmer. This gradual trend is called global warming. Warmer weather may sound nice, but global warming is something to be very concerned about.
Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment in many devastating ways. Rising temperatures might cause plants and animals to become extinct. They could melt enough polar ice to cause the levels of the sea to rise. Weather patterns could also change. There might be more droughts or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human diseases could spread.
What is causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollution from factories and cars adds toxic gases to the air. These gases rise to the Earth's atmosphere. As the sun’s rays warm the Earth, the gases work much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the atmosphere and make the Earth grow warmer. That is why they are nicknamed “greenhouse gases.”
It is our responsibility to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem with serious consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act now!
