Millions of young people are writing blogs．Millions of others are reading them．The word "blog" is a short way of saying Web log．
Many popular Web sites now offer free, easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures．Web sites called "Facebook" and "MySpace" are some of the most popular blog sites for young people．Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives．They also provide a place for people to write their ideas and opinions and how they think of others’ ideas．
Blogs offer young people a place to show their writings and feelings．They can also be helpful to connect* young people with others．But blogs can become dangerous when they are read on the Internet by millions of people all over the world．
Recent studies show that young people often provide their names, age and where they live on the Internet．That may not be safe for them．This personal information puts them at risk* of being searched out by dangerous people who want to hurt them．Many students do not know about privacy* and are surprised to learn that adults can read their personal daily records easily．Students can also get into trouble when they put information about others on their blogs．
As a result, many schools have banned* the use of blogging web sites on school computers． Many schools have also begun teaching parents about the web sites． Parents should know what their children are doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information．One way to keep away from these problems is to use programs so that blogs can be read by "friends only．" people can read the website only if they know a secret word chosen by the blogger．

Some hours later, Holmes woke up and pushed his friend. “Watson, look! What can you see in the sky?"
Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.”
“What does that tell you?” asked Holmes.
Watson thought for a while. “First, it tells me that we will have a beautiful clear day tomorrow. Second, it tells me that the time is about twelve o’clock. And…”
“What else?” Holmes asked.
“Well, it also reminds me that the world is so big and we are so small. What does that tell you?” Holmes said with a grin on his face, “You silly guy! It only tells me that someone has stolen our tent!”

Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal (交易) on Black Friday ( the first Friday at Christmas time). It’s surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal. But sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers (零售商) offer specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday specials, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.
Read advertisements regularly. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.
Shop online. Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some
specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.
【小题1】 The underlined word “specials” in Paragraph 2 means______.
| A．赠品 | B．奢侈品 | C．特价商品 | D．圣诞礼品 |
| A．on the Internet | B．in specialty stores | C．from salesmen | D．from retailers |
| A．tell us to shop online |
| B．tell us the best way to do shopping |
| C．show us how hard it is to do Christmas shopping |
