Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal(释放) their souls（灵魂）. Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (暂停) because on their blogs they posted threatening words to their teachers.
Recent surveys found that nearly one fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online journals.
With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be engaged in blogging.
In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret(后悔) later. To reduce the negative effect, change the permission setting and make such posts “private” so that only you can read them.
As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.
【小题1】      Blogs are the place where people go online to express themselves freely.
【小题2】     The fact that some American students got suspensions is used to show that people should not put their life online.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true. Communication（交流）is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it. Here is some advice about getting on well with parents.

Don't argue（争辩）with your parents. Don't talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents.

Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Sometimes your parents might refuse to accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values （价值观）. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

1.Is communication a problem only for parents and school children?

2.How many pieces of advice does the writer give you?

3.What should you do when your parents refuse to accept your reasons?

4.Why do you need to talk about your values with your parents?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

 

阅读短文，根据意思，判断所给句子的正误。正确的写T，错误的写F。

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet（问候） each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual（不寻常的） question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply （只）other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

　　Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly（确切） what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly（强烈地）, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

　　People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example, many talks on the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up（挂）says: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning (烧)on the stove（炉）.” The excuses（借口） might be real（真的）, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt （伤）the other person.

　　Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.

1.“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."

2.It is polite to say" No. I disagree. I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.

3.When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone，it means he wants to go on talking.

4."Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a talk.

5.Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.

Jane Goodall is one of the most well-known scientists in the world. Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the research of Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934. She became interested in animals and animal stories when she was a very young child. She always dreamed of working with wild animals. When she was eleven years old, she decided that she wanted to go to Africa to live with and write about animals. But this was not the kind of thing young women usually did in the 1940s. Everybody was laughing except her mother. “If you really want something, you work hard, you take advantage of opportunity, you never give up, you find a way,” her mother said to her. The opportunity came at last. A school friend invited her to Africa. Jane worked as a waitress until she had got enough money to travel there.

In 1957, Jane Goodall traveled to Africa. She soon met the well-known scientist Louis Leakey and began working for him as an assistant. He later asked her to study a group of chimpanzees living by a lake in Tanzania. Very little was known about wild chimpanzees at that time.

Jane spent many years studying chimpanzees in this area of Africa. It was not easy work. They were very shy and would run away whenever she came near. She learned to watch them from far away using binoculars. Over time, she slowly gained their trust(信任). She gave the chimpanzees human names such as David Graybeard, Flo and Fifi. Watching the chimpanzees, she made many discoveries. They ate vegetables and fruits. But she found that they also eat meat. A few weeks later, she made an even more surprising discovery. She saw chimpanzees making and using tools(工具) to help them catch insects.

Jane Goodall has written many books for adults and children about wild chimpanzees. Her most recent book is called Hope for Animals and Their World. It tells about saving several kinds of endangered animals.
