Microblogging （微博）is a type of blog that lets users publish short text update. A microblog differs from a tradition blog in that its content is typically smaller in size. Microblogs allow users to exchange small elements of content such as short sentence, individual images, or video links. These small messages are sometimes called microposts.
As with traditional blogging, microbloggers post about topics from the simple, such as “What I`m doing right now,” to the thematic, such as “sports cars.” Commercial microblogs also exist, to promote websites, services or products. Stars can also make use of this medium to build positive image and adverse their films and albums.
As a socialized platform, microblog is a good way for us to communicate with others. You can choose whoever to pay attention to. Then his or her news will appear in your space. At the same time, you can also report interesting matters in your microblog. Then you can leave messages and share your happiness and sorrow with others. You can send your information anywhere and anytime. We can not deny that microblog has changed our lives. Just as Li Kaifu said in his book, “microblog changes everything.”

My passage into eighties a few weeks ago gave me a moment’s reflection and the thought that I should watch how others in this situation have been affected. After a while it seemed to me that the
first 80 years are the hardest.
Once you reach 80, everyone wants to carry your baggage and help you up steps. If you forget your name or anybody else’s name, or an appointment o r your own telephone number or promise to be three places at the same time, or you can’t remember how many grandchildren you have, you only need to explain that you are 80.
Being 80 is a lot better than being 70. At 70, people are mad at you for everything .At 80, you have
a perfect excuse no matter what you do. If you act foolishly, it’s your second child-hood. Everybody is
looking for symptoms (症状) of your failure of the brain.
Being 70 is not fun at all. At that age they expect you to retire to a house in Florida and complain about your arthritis (关节炎) and you ask everybody to stop mumbling (咕哝) because you can’t understand them. (Actually your hearing is about 50% gone).
If you survive until you are 80, everybody is surprised that you are still alive. They treat you with respect just for having lived so long. Actually they seem surprised that you can walk and talk sensibly.
So please, folks, try to make it to 80. It’s the best time of life. People forgive you for anything. In response to the question of what years were the most difficult , an 80-year-old responded “those between 10 and 70.”
Life begins at 80.
32. According to the passage, how old is the author now?
A. Sixty
B. Seventy
C. Eighty
D. Not known
33. What does the author say people do to an eighty-year-old man?
A. They are often mad at him.
B. They offer help to him
C. They talk loudly to him
D. They make fun of him
34. What problem do the 80-year-olds often have according to Paragraph 2?
A. They are not respected by other people
B. They are afraid of death.
C. They can’t understand many things.
D. They are often forgetful.
35. The author wrote this passage in a ______ way.
A. humorous
B. serious
C. negative
D. passive
