AYou may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鲸记》),written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated（使疏远）the general reading public of his time.Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. It was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose（散文）and began to write poetry.The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience.Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72 at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public.

The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace（网络空间）trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully（恐吓）other students. One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers, and some have suspended（暂缓）students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on socia l networking. They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,” Ji m Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.8.

Information Online?DMy name is Jake. I’m brown, and rather short, standing just a little past my master’s knees. My friend Andy once took me to a dog show. I’ve never seen so many different-looking dogs in my life! They all looked pretty and handsome, and their maste rs were very proud of them when they jumped and ran across so many barriers at that d og show. Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.While I was watching that show, I remembered my friends at the pound（走失猫狗的待领处）, where I spent two long weeks. We were kept in cages, and although we were well-fed, every day during those two weeks, I hoped to have someone touch my head and play with me.You could just imagine how glad I was when, one day, Andy came in with his dad and pointed in my direction. I stood up on my hind legs and d id a little jig （一种快步舞）, and then I wagged my tail and tried to chase it. The father and his son kept laughing at what I was trying to do, and in a few minutes, I was riding on their car on the way to my new home. I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eight h birthday.I heard him shout that I was the best gift ever!My favorite amusement is hanging my tongue out of the car window and letting the wind blow on my face. I just love long drives! It is during these times that I think of all my friends whom I left behind at the dog pound. I hope that soon, little boys or girls would also pick them and give them new homes, so they would be able to enjoy walks in the park and trips to the beach, as I do now.12.
