Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important thing in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet”.
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly.. Today, computers are getting smaller and smaller, but they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can't live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about 25 years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, send e-mails, do some shopping, play games or make friends.             
Young men, especially the middle school students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet bars as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don't know their names, ages and sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can't put their heart into study. Some of them play the games in the Internet bars all day and all night. Many of them can't catch up with others in many subjects because of that.
Now the government has done many things. Some gangster Internet bars(黑網(wǎng)吧)have been banned. But that's not enough. The teachers and parents are still worrying about their students and children.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that computers and the Internet could not do all the things.

One year ago. I asked a worker to help me repair my old house. He had a bad first day on the job: his car broke on the way, then he found he had left his tools for work at home and his wife telephoned to say his son had a bad cold. While I drove him home, he was silent all the way. When arriving, he invited me to meet his family.
As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree, and touched the tree with hands. When we opened the door, I was very surprised to see he changed into another person and there was a big smile on his face instead. He hugged (擁抱) his son and gave his wife a kiss.
After a while, when he walked me to the car, I asked him why he had touched the tree just then. "Oh, that's my trouble tree," he answered.  "Sometimes I have troubles on my job, but one thing is for sure, they don't belong to my wife and my son. So I just hang up (懸掛) the troubles on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up. "
“The funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick them up, I hardly remember what I put the night before. "
