Once a little weed (杂草) grew in a field. There were many tall and beautiful flowers around it. Lots of bees and butterflies came to them because of their nice smells and bright colours. The little weed wasn't satisfied, because its flowers were tiny and simple.
One spring morning, three children came to play in the field. "Let's pick some flowers for our grandma!" said one. "That's a good idea!" said another. "She will love all these bright and beautiful flowers!"
"What about that one?" the youngest child said, pointing at the little weed. "Forget it!" laughed the oldest brother. "That's just a useless weed!"
Hearing this, the little weed felt even worse. "Am I really useless?" it asked itself, "Why was I put on the Earth?"
In winter, all flowers were gone, only the little weed stood alone in the field. Just at that time, it noticed some birds coming above the field. "We are hungry!" they shouted. The little weed felt sorry for the poor birds and called out to them, "Hey! Down here! I have pods(豆荚)that you can eat!"
"You're so kind!" The birds ate up the seeds(种子)in the pods thankfully. "They're delicious. We can't find anything better than what you gave us!?"
This made the little weed pleased and confident. "At last, I have found out what I am good for!" the little weed said.

Is the Internet good or bad? It's always a hot topic in our daily life. Different people may have different answers. Since the Internet came into being, it brought us pleasure and tears.
Today, let's take a look at some things that are disappearing as the Internet grows up.
When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don't find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record. As a result, it's common for many people to "pick up the pen but forget words". Perhaps, in a few years, will pen and paper disappear?
As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and you can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet. If one day you send a real photo in your circle of friends, others will even think if it is a photo to make fun of.
Now everyone can get digital(数字的)maps in a few seconds by using computers or mobile phones. They are easy and fast for users. Do you remember the last time to look at a paper map?
After a busy day for the whole family, people used to watch TV together, share information and express feelings. Nowadays, at home, a person with a mobile phone is the whole world.

C、Lose themselves in the online world.(4)、What's the structure(结构) of the text?A、①/②/③④⑤⑥ B、①/②③④⑤/⑥ C、①②/③④⑤/⑥(5)、After reading the text, what can you infer (推断)?A、The paper maps aren't useful since they appear. B、People don't need to learn how to write the words now. C、People prefer playing with the mobile phone instead of talking with families. -
