Next is the naming system, the by-now familiar n ames that include . com . org . edu . etc . , which are collectively known as top level domains, or TLDs . The naming system was devised to find a computer or send email . Fin ally, there is the rout ing system, which“ maps” domain names to IP numbersComputers called “ root servers contain a kind of giant directory that links specific names to specific addresses on the In ter netThere are several political headaches about doma in n ames that have no clear soluti ons . Because doma in n ames have to be uniq ue, they are in evitably linked to trademark disputes whe n two or more bus in esses, or people, want the same n ameDomain names also raise issues of privacy Using a search tool such as the Whonami Global Internet Name Search site, anyone can look up the n ame and address of whoever is registered as the owner of a domai n n ame.In 1998, the U .

Rain forests have a great effect on the world en vir onment becausethey can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warmi ng the rest of the world. Los ing the rai nforests may also in flue nee wi nd and rai nfall patter ns, pote ntially caus ing certai n natural disasters all over the world.In the past hun dred years, huma ns have begu n destro ying rai nforests in search of three major resources 资源):land for crops, wood for paper and other products, la nd for rais ing farm ani mals. This acti on affects the en vir onment as a whole. For example, a lot of carb on dioxide 二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more tha n we will ben efit.There are two main reas ons for this. Firstly, whe n people cut dow n trees, gen erally they can on ly use the land for a year or two. Secon dly, cutt ing large secti ons of rain forests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the wold s wood supply.Rain forests are ofte n called the world s drug store. More tha n 25% ofthe medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer tha n 1% of rai nforest pla nts have bee n exam ined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chanee to cure diseaseslies somewhere in the world s shri nking rain forests.Topicrai nforestsDefin iti onan area covered by tall trees;the total high rain fall spreadi ng equally through the year;the temperature always (2)above I6C.(3)(4)heat from the sun;adjust the climatein flue nee wi nd and rain fall patter nsvalueHuma n(6)(7)search for:land for crops;wood for paper and other products;land for raising farm animals.(8)affect the en vir onment (e.g. (9)muchcarb on dioxide);suffer rather tha n ben efit.Reasonsuse the land only for one or two years when cutt ing dow n trees;provide the world wood supply in the (10)run, but in fact reduce it.薄雾浓云愁永昼， 瑞脑消金兽。佳节又重阳， 玉枕纱厨， 半夜凉初透。东篱把酒黄昏后， 有暗香盈袖。莫道不消魂，帘卷西风， 人比黄花瘦。
