Only three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.
170 students’ task:to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.
Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs. The entries were judged on language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.
Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.
In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.
"No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teac her-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客).
Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible.
"Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers,” said Miss Gao, “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their pos ts.”

【高三考前冲刺卷(八)】A
Many people may be surprised by the number of chemicals that they are exposed to through everyday household products.
In a study 25 women had their homes and bodies tested for 89 environmental pollutants—including pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals found in plastics and cleaning products.On average 20 chemicals were found on their bodies or in their homes.
Much is unknown about the possible health effects of chemicals in everyday household products.But certain chemicals—like phthalates (邻苯二甲酸盐) found in plastics—have been linked to potential health risks，including higher risks of certain cancers，though the evidence mainly comes from research on lab animals.Other household chemicals are known to harm the skin，eyes and airways—and may worsen asthma (哮喘)．Many more chemicals found remain untested.
Chemicals likely come from a range of sources，so it is not always clear how to reduce people’s exposure，according to Dr.Rebecca Altman，the lead researcher on th e new study.“However，” she said，“there are still measures people can take.”
In the original study，she noted，women were given advice based on the particular chemicals they were exposed to—such as using fragrance­free washing liquid and personal­care product s.
For the current study，Altman and her colleagues interviewed two dozen women who’d taken part in the previous study to see how they would react to information about their household chemical exposures.They found that the women were generally surprised at the range of chemicals found in their homes and bodies.They were also surprised that even some banned things were found.
With many questions about the health effects of household chemicals unanswered，some experts worry that giving people information about their everyday exposures will cause unnecessary fear.However，the researchers found that the women in their study were typically not alarmed，and
instead wanted “more rather than less” information on the issue. 26．Which of the following statements about chemicals in household products is TRUE?
A．Some of them have bad effects on health，while some have good effects. B．Long­term exposure to them is certain to cause a deadly illness. C．In the study it was found that certain chemicals can cause cancers. D．It is uncertain what effects some chemicals have on health. 27．The underlined word “airways” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________.
A．the passage running from your nose and throat to the lungs B．things that look like fine threads growing in the body
C．the passage between rows of rooms in a building
D．the area just inside the front door of a building
28．Why is it NOT clear how to reduce exposure to chemicals? A．Because all everyday products contain chemicals.
B．Because much is unknown about the sources.
C．Because chemicals come from a variety of sources.
D．Because measures have not been tested for their effects. 29．According to Dr.Rebecca Altman，________.
A．women were more likely to be harmed by chemicals
B．fragrant products may contain harmful chemicals
C．it is unnecessary to inform people about the study results D．further study on everyday products should be done immediately 30．What was the women’s attitude towards the study results? A．They were angry that so many chemicals were found.
B．They refused to be subjects for the study any more.
C．They were afraid of getting bad news about their health.
D．They would like to know more related information.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

It was the first snow of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this wa s more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.” With the grace that only experience can bring, she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said, “These aren’t my boots, you kn ow.” As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off, I said, “They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them, and I hate them!” Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time, and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots.”
1. According to the passage, the little girl got from her brother.
A. the wool snow pants and the jacket

3. It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter, the teacher had to help her put on her boots .
A. once
B. twice
C. three times
D. four times
4. Which of the following sentences from the text BEST indicates that the teacher is very considerate?
A. In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, . . .” (Paragraph 2)
B. With the grace that only experience can bring, she struggled to. . . (Paragraph 4)
