It’s
Saturday morning. Tony’s sitting at the kitchen table,
staring into space and playing with a piece of bread. He’s not even 16 . Is he ill? No, but he does have
a problem. He has nothing to do because the Internet is down.
When he woke up this morning,
Tony was feeling 17 . He jumped out of bed full of
plans for the weekend ahead. It would be a weekend like any other great
weekend. But that was 18 he turned on his computer and 19 he was unable
to go online. Having no Internet changes everything.
Every weekend, Tony will go
online to email friends, read the news to
20 what’s
happening in the world and play a few online chess games with his cousin Helen
to kill time. The perfect weekend-online.
Just as Tony is 21 how he can possibly have a normal weekend
without the Internet, his mum walks into the 22 “Cheer up, Tony. Don’t think about the Internet any more, OK?” Tony makes no answer but sighs. “Go
and play chess with Helen!” Tony’s
mum 23 .
“Oh, yes! Helen lives just around the corner. We can meet and
play chess face to face for a 24 . Maybe this weekend won’t be so bad.” Tony 25 , as
he walks to the phone. There is life beyond the Internet after all (畢竟).
