Angel felt sorry for the zoo animals. While the others in the family were cooking dinner, Angel was cooking up a way to help the animals. She decided to write a letter to show how she felt. At the end of the letter, she wrote: “Give a dollar, help an animal.”She sent the letter and a dollar to The Fresno Bee, a local newspaper.

A few days after that, Angel’s letter came out. Almost immediately, people began sending in money. Angel’s letter worked out!

At school, Angel went to each classroom to read the letter that appeared on the newspaper. She asked students in her school to give money to the zoo. Next, Angel was asked to appear on TV. She was invited to be on a popular talk show.

The workers in the zoo were very happy. Ray Navarro is the person most responsible (有责任的) for the animals. “Angel opened the eyes of Fresno,”said Ray, “she made us see that people can make a difference.”

Li Ting, 15, from Shanghai, was preparing a talk on some western festivals. She looked through some information online and made PowerPoint presentation(展示).

Wu Qiang, her classmate, was doing his math homework carefully. But he couldn’t work the last problem even he did his best. So he took out his mobile phone, opened a special app, and looked for the problem. Answers soon came out on the screen in several seconds(秒).

Nowadays, many students do homework online with the help of the Internet like Li and Wu. They look for information online, use apps or discuss through QQ and WeChat.

“It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait for your teacher to explain it to you face to face,”Like Wu. “You can also learn by seeing how others work them out. What’s more, it improves student s’ abilities. And it’s especially true for new kinds of homework. I am quite good at finding information online and using Microsoft Office.”

However, this trend(趋势)also causes problems. Some lazy students just copy the answers online without thinking. Even some ask their classmates to do homework for them. And their teachers don’t know the fact.

Anyhow, knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control. When you come across(遇到)a difficult problem, think about it by yourself first. Be sure to understand the reason behind the answer after you have turned to the Internet, or you won’t make progress. If you are not sure about your self-control, ask your parents for help.

( )62. Both Li Ting and Wu Qiang used the Internet to _______.
