　　Internet: A Blessing or a Curse?

　　Sifting through the history of the 20th century, I'm fascinated by a treasure trove of beneficial and innovative breakthroughs in science and technology. In the past century, numerous creatire inventions have been brought to us, leading to desirable transformations and speeding up the evolution of human civilization. The diverse technological developments improve the productivity and entitle us to a more favorable life. And among all those ingenious designs, the advent of the Internet, I suppose,has the most profound significance to us mankind.

　　Since the very date the Internet came into being, it has changed our life and work dramatically. The World Wide Web reveals a magical and intriguing new world to everyone woven up into the net. The various websites provide a wealth of information and data for the "netizens'. With their assistance, we needn't bother to plunge into multitudes of books in the library,searching for only one or two items. The powerful search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and Sina function as handy tools for us to find all we need, with just a few clicks. The variety of webpages supply updated news and informative knowledge, enabling us to keep abreast with the times. The BBS, short for the Bulletin Board Service as a helpful medium for people to exchange available information. To us students on campus, the BBS means convenient connection with all our peers and easy access to useful messages. So in this sense, the Internet has greatly enriched our life and promoted mutual understanding between individuals. Moreover, the Internet offers us instant communication with our friends and family no matter how far we are from each other. The emails, OICQ,e-cards, net meetings and the emerging SMS on the web all prove to be of sufficient help with this function. What's more, the internet begins to playa vitally important role in business and trade. The brand new e commerce such as B2B and B2C make it possible for the corporations to deal with their operations effectively and efficiently. And to the IPOs (Initial Operation Offering), the net acts as an attractive plat form for the road show.

　　However, does the Internet only mean blessing to the human beings? Definitely not. The fact is that plenty of negative influences have been caused by the net. The notorious hackers attack the websites of government and institutions rampantly,damaging their systems and interrupting the operations. In cyberspace, criminals easily commit crime and escape. And the computer viruses spread even faster through emails, causing lots of computer failures.

　　Thus it's apparent that the Internet is a blend of blessing and curse. But despite its disadvantages and shortcomings, I'm still in strong favor of the Internet and I'd prefer to glorify its beneficial outcomes. Adventurous as it may appear to be, it's undoubtedly one of the mellow fruits of human wisdom, right?

　　簡 評

　　本文的主題是網(wǎng)絡(luò)的福與禍。作者列舉了網(wǎng)絡(luò)對生活和工作尤其是商務(wù)的巨大影響，并具體、形象地描述了種種便利，頗具說服力。另一方面，作者也客觀地闡明網(wǎng)絡(luò)存在的問題，諸如黑客、病毒和網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪。在文章的最后作者得出結(jié)論：網(wǎng)絡(luò)兼有利弊，但

　　其主流是造福人類。

　　本篇文章不似出自學(xué)生之手。因為作者對網(wǎng)絡(luò)這一新生事物的把握可謂運籌帷幄。最能體現(xiàn)作者對主題的專業(yè)水準(zhǔn)的是大量、準(zhǔn)確地運用專業(yè)術(shù)語。文中出現(xiàn)了一系列的縮略語如“WWW，BBS，OICQ，SMS，B2B，B2C，IPO'’以及網(wǎng)絡(luò)相關(guān)術(shù)語如“netlzen，data，website，webpage，net-meeting，e-com-merce，e-card，platform，cyberspace，hacker，virus~’。這些無不顯示出作者在此專題方面扎實的功底。

　　另外，文章的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)和主題的推進(jìn)可謂“有法但無定法”。本文顯然采用了對比法。在證明網(wǎng)絡(luò)的便捷時，作者把網(wǎng)絡(luò)協(xié)助下的學(xué)習(xí)研究與傳統(tǒng)的方式進(jìn)行了鮮明的對比。一方面是網(wǎng)絡(luò)上“a wealth Of information，witha few clicks'’，另一方面是"plunge into the library for hours，searching only one Or two items"，擁有網(wǎng)絡(luò)的輕松和傳統(tǒng)方式的麻煩形成比照。
