Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.

The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”

“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率),” he said.

According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”

However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.

Science experiments are a fun way for kids to learn all about science.I will introduce a few great experiments and teach your child all about the wonders of inertia(惯性).


Coin Shoot

You'll need some coins, at least eleven, and a smooth table.Stack(堆叠) all but one of the coins on the smooth table, making sure that the “high rise” is straight. Coins with wide edges make this experiment easy to do. Flick ( 弹 ) the extra coin quickly towards the bottom of the stack so that it hits the bottom coin.The bottom coin from the stack should shoot out from under the other coins without changing the rest of the stack. With good aim and quick flicks of your finger, you should be able to shoot all of the coins out of the stack one by one. Because the inertia of the stack of coins is so great, the force from the flicked coin is not enough to make the entire stack move or fall down.


The Pencil Standing

Place a narrow piece of paper on a smooth table. Hold the paper so that most of it hangs off the table.Place a pencil on the paper so that it is standing straight.Now,slowly try to pull the paper out from under the pencil.What happens? Set up the paper and pencil again, and give the paper a fast pull. What happens to the pencil this time?

Since the still pencil wants to stay at rest, it will be against the fast movement of the paper.This means that when the paper is moved quickly out from under the pencil, the pencil remains standing straight. If the paper is moved slowly, the movement has a chance to influence the pencil, and it will fall down.

【小题1】Which of the following is used in both of the two experiments?
A.A narrow piece of paper.B.A number of coins.
C.A smooth table.D.A new pencil.
【小题2】What result can we get if we do the first experiment well?
A.The stack of coins fall down on the table.
B.The bottom coin is flicked out of the stack.
C.All of the coins are taken away from the table.
D.All of the coins are shot out of the stack one by one.
【小题3】Most of the paper hangs off the table so that .
A.we can pull it quicklyB.we can take hold of it
C.it can influence the pencilD.the pencil can stand straight
【小题4】If we pull the paper slowly out from under the pencil, the pencil will .
A.move slowly with the paperB.stand straight on the table
C.be shot out from the tableD.fall down on the table

When you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope (羚羊)can run away from a strong lion. In the wild, everyone has his own way to protect himself. Even plants have their own ways to fight against enemies.

Over millions of years, plants have developed their own way to protect themselves. Chemicals (化学物质) are used by plants to live. By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.

One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, and the number of poisonous chemicals becomes more in the other leaves. “It’s like the injured (受伤的) leaves telling the others to fight against the enemy together, ” he said.

The tree also sends messages to plants near it by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearly 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison in 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, he will die.

Every kind of plant is good at producing special chemicals. Animals that feed on plants or glass, like rabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be hurt by its neighbor.

In this way, plants have not only developed their own way to protect themselves, but also shared it with others. So it’s impossible for a single animal to damage even a small area of forest.

【小题1】What’s the function (功能) of the first paragraph?
A.To use an example to lead to the main idea of the passage.
B.To show the structure (结构) of the passage.
C.To introduce how wild animals protect themselves.
D.To raise readers’ interest on wild animals.
【小题2】If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves, the tree can _____.
A.kill the animals with a special smell
B.tell other trees to come to protect it
C.warn people to fight against the animals
D.send messages to the plants nearby to protect themselves
【小题3】How long can a Golden Wattle tree produce more poison when it gets the message from the plant 45 meters away from it?
A.For about an hour.B.In ten minutes.
C.For fifteen minutes.D.For more than ten minutes.
【小题4】What do you think of the plants’ way to protect themselves?
A.It’s bad for human beings.B.It’s good for forests.
C.It’s helpful to some animals.D.It’s harmful to forests.
【小题5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The examples of protecting forests.
B.The balance between animals and plants.
C.The ways of plants fighting against enemies.
D.The relationship between lions and antelopes
