Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to
meet them in person first.
The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile (简介) which can include
your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph
increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time
registration fee to use their services.
Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search
down to your area by zip code. Another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in
person. Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent
way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy
way to meet people who share your interests.
Just as in conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating. The person
you have been talking to on the net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some
people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their
own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating
partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time. Nevertheless, taking a few simple
precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun.

| The centerpiece of curling (冰壶) is the curling stone, which has been called a "geometrical masterpiece of tooled geology (地 质)." Kays of Scotland has been making curling stones since 1851, when William Kay and his sons Andrew and Thomas set up a workshop in Mauchline, Ayrshire, in southwest Scotland. Kays is still owned by the relatives of the founder, and today it is the only curling stone maker left in Scotland. Used in a highly competitive sport, the curling stones are made to exact standards. First, stones are sliced and then into round "cheeses". Finally, the cheeses are shaped and polished into curling stones in a series of precise steps. |  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| When Carla Fisher and her husband announced plans to travel the globe with their young daughters for a year, some friends called them crazy. Seven years later, with wonderful memories and a book documenting their world travel, the Fishers now seem like global trailblazers (先驱者). "It"s really encouraging to hear that many other people want to educate their kids in that manner," said Fisher. Some parents are trying to raise knowledgeable and open-minded "world citizens". Others want to give their children the skills they"ll need to compete globally. "There is a huge amount of interest in spending time abroad at all stages of life and increasingly, as a family with children," said Maya Frost, author of "The New Global student…". She knows American families in every corner of the globe who have made that choice. "There"s so much rnore to education than school," said Tessa Hill, who recently returned to her Houston- area home, after driving her family across North and Central America and Europe in a motor home for 13 months. "World traveI is an education in people, cultures, language, travel skills, street smarts and in how lucky we are to live in the United States." When Hill and her husband began considering extended global travel, their middle child, Charles,13, was surprised. "My first reaction was well, are we really going to do this?"" Charles said. "But it did sound like great fun." Charles said missing his friends was the hardest part. He stayed in touch via e-mail and made some new friends along the way, playing soccer with kids in France and learning about rugby from youths in Ireland. "I"d definitely recommend this to other kids." Charles said. "It was such a great opportunity to see different countries and learn geography a different way." To make re-entry smoother, most school officials prefer that families work out an educational plan before they leave town. "It sounds out-of-date, but it really opens up your mind and your eyes to the world," said Robbin Goodman, 17, a senior student who spent his junior year skateboarding across Beijing, China, when he wasn"t studying Chinese history and other core subjects. Had he not already taken a school-sponsored spring break trip with his mom to China in 2007, Robbin said he probably would not have been able to convince his parents to let him go alone for a year. "I knew I would learn Chinese and all that, but my goal was to have a great time," Robbin said. "The biggest problem for those seriously considering.going abroad is dealing with those who are against the idea," said Frost. "They gain the ability to take risks and to have confidence in themselves," said Liz Pearlstein, founder of a global education consulting firm "When we came home from London, my daughter, who had been painfully shy before we left, said "Mom, now I know there"s nothing I can"t do. "" No one knows exactly how many American families are choosing the global education path, but global education consultants say a growing number of parents are traveling for a year or more with their children. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
