computers more and more nowadays.Reading this chart,we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply.In 1990,it was less than 2 hours;and in 1995,it increased to almost 5 hours,and in 2000,the number soared to 20 hours.nObviously computers are becoming more and more(increasingly)popular.There are several reasons for this(the popularity).First,(First of all,Above all)computers facilitate us in more aspects of life.Also,the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers.We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet.Besides,the prices of computers are getting lower and lower,which enables more students to purchase them.nHowever,there still exist some problems,such as poor quality,out-of-date designs and so on.And how to balance the time between using computers and studying is also a serious problem.nAnyhow,we still benefit a lot from computers as long as we use them properly.(And I am firm in my belief that in the future,young students will make more effective use of computers to benefit themselves.)The above chart shows that the students have easier access to computers.In 1990,college students spent less than two hours in a week on computers.In 1995,the number doubled and came to nearly four,and then increased dramatically to almost 20 hours in 2000.An Example:Student Use of Computer 2nSeveral reasons account for the change.First of all,we are in the information age today.Computers are useful in editing and data processing;they make it easier for people to communicate with each other and they provide all sorts of information.In addition,if a student wants to get a promising job after graduation,he must be good at computers.This stimulates the students interest in computers and encourages them to have a good command of them.Last but not the least,the price is also an important factor.It costs much less to own a computer now.More and more students can afford them.n But some problems also arise.Some students spend much time playing computer games and they pay no attention to their studies;some students would rather chat with others than explore information on the Internet.This will do harm to students.n In a word,computers become very popular among students now,and how to make full use of them has caused much discussion among people.返回Assignment:(at least 120 words)People below poverty linen1.本本图所示为1978年，1985年，1997年中国贫困线以下人口的变化情况，请描述其变化。n2.请说明发生这些变化的原因n3.你认为解决目前中国贫困人口还有什么困难或问题。
