Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 36 problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very 37 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in 38 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 39 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 40 that she does not want to 41
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 44 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 45 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 46 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 47 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write.
If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about her in my diary, she would never know! 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 50 read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also 51 to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me. ” 52 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 53 respond（回应）and tell her how much they 54 her. Blogs help people 55 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixations (固定) or pauses. It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation is called your eye span. Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always depends on what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method that is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:
(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.
(2) Rapid first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (精深的) study of your
school subjects, solving Maths problems or reading directions.
(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. you may also do rapid reading when reviewing material that you already know well. 56. The main reason for reading fast is that you can _______what you are fast reading.
A. get the ideas
B. save time
C. understand better
D. learn well
57. The way of reading always depends on _______.
A. the method that you like

58. The underlined word "skimming" in the fourth paragraph means _______.

D. when you wish to find a lost place that you have read

Some people think that all wild animals are very dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, suppose, you would run away, but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.

Dear Student Union ，
I have just read the ad on the school bulletin and the moment I saw it I took an interest in becoming one of the five volunteer English teachers. Now I'm writing here to apply for this opportunity.
I am Li Hua, a girl aged 17. I have a good command of English and can get along well with others. For two years I have been tutoring students in English. Presently I work as a member of Loving Heart Club in our school.
In my opinion ，being a volunteer teacher at the SOS village is obviously more than just teaching. Furthermore ，it is helpful to broaden our horizon
and have a better understanding of the society. That’s why I’d like very much to take this opportunity and make the most of my special talents and interests. In addition ，voluntary work can help me build confidence and develop good communication skills. By helping those kids ，I feel I can make a big difference to their future and make a small contribution to society.
I’d appreciate it so much if you could possibly consider my application. I ’m looking forward to your early reply.。
