However, a number of worrying problems have come along with them.Many car accidents are caused by mobile phones. Some drivers use mobile phones to get on the Internet while driving. Looking at their mobile phones and not at the road, these drivers have become a danger to us all.Many of the dangers of the Internet are well known. Children who visit websites without their parents permission sometimes talk to elder people they dont know and put themselves in great danger. People with blogs sometimes post information of people they dont know on their websites without permission. Some people even use the Internet to get personal information that we do not want them to have.Mobile phone and the Internet safety tips：Use a hands-free phone if you need to use a mobile phone when you drive.In difficult driving situations such as in rain or snow, do not use your phone at all.Do not make very important phone calls while driving.

But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called Internet of things is developing.The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. In 2015, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that in the next five years, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether its a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine.So, how do household objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize peoples faces, and even can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know whos there. If the person is someone you dont know, it can tell you that, too.But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home devices (装置) dont have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Connectivity Foundation, which has more than 300 members now.So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favourite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.（1）The Samsungs CEO speech is mentioned to prove that _. A . the Internet of things will appear in our daily life soonerB .

He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. You can help me carry the samples（样本）, he explained.Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncles backpack was half-empty.Why did you give us so many stones? we asked. I didnt. You did, he said, waiting for a while before continuing. You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（态度） test today.What do you mean an attitude test? we wanted to know.It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained（抱怨） about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks. We did. They were full. I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative（负面的） thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things.This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life-the power of attitude.（1）A geologist is a person who .
