Computers Help Fire-fighters
In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps fire-fighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 35,000 street addresses in the city. When fire-fighters answer a call, the computer will give them important information about the burning building: its position, size, type and so on. In fact, the computer system has almost all the ways of helping fire-fighters with the problems facing them. For example, it can give medical information about invalids living in a burning building. With this information, the fire-fighters can take special care to find these sick persons and carry them away quickly and safely.
The Kansas City computer system also keeps a medical record of each of the city’s 9,000 fire-fighters. This kind of information is especially useful when a fireman is injured. With this information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injured fire-fighters more quickly and easily.

How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable materials on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S..
For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as danger and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions（预防措施）, the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated. “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have chance to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future.” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chance would be to use what is known as a “content screener（过滤器）”, but this can’t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
Four other tips:
—Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
—Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.
—Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
— And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
