Computers are very important for the students now. For the city students, it's very easy to find a place to surf the Internet(网上冲浪). And for the village students, they can go to the Internet bar(网吧). Most of them spend more than two hours there, and some of them even spend more than eight hours there every day. They can do their homework, download(下载) some information for their homework, download music, send emails and play games.Most of them spend too much time playing games, so it's bad for their study.

Yet many of the children use computers to play games, to watch videos or to sing Karaoke, instead of studying. So many teachers and parents complain (抱怨）that computers cannot help children to study but make them fall behind. So these parents lock computers in the boxes.

In some other countries, even some scientists hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lost their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble.

    He didn't know . He decided to open the two boxes and found out the   (true). He opened the yellow box and found nothing. Then he opened the black box and saw  hole at the bottom (底部).

    Then he smiled to  and said, “Happiness is for me. Let sadness go.”
