Angry survivors demanded answers on Sunday after a terrible stampede（踩踏）at “Love Parade 2010”, a music festival in Germany, killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday’s tragedy in the western city of Duisburg. “This was a very sad day,” Merkel said. “We must do everything we can to ensure that something like this never happens again.”
Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel, the only entrance to the Love Parade festival, from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded. The panic began as festival-goers began to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other. The dead included eight foreigners, from Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Bosnia and Spain. More than 340 people were injured.
After the panic, a lot of emergency vehicles, including helicopters, could be seen parked on the highway leading to helicopters, could be seen parked on the highway leading to the festival site, carrying away the injured people. The festival itself, however, went on. Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.
“The event was a real mess,” Patrick Guenter, a 22-year-old baker, said. “Although the festival was full, they kept letting people in.” he added. “It seems the organizers didn’t plan the route. The road was very narrow, and no one knew what was going on.” Said Taggart Bowen-Gaddy,20,an American from Philadelphia.
Officials said 4,000 police officers and 1,000 security guards provided security for the event, which attracted up to 1.4 million people. The authorities had only given organizers permission for 250,000 people to attend.
“I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade. The city is too small and narrow for such events. It is a pity that…” German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the Bild.
The chief organizer, Rainer Schaller, said the popular event would never be held again, “out of respect for the victims and their families”.
First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall, the Love Parade is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe. It left Berlin from 2007 onwards after disagreements with the city authorities over security and has been held in several other German cities in recent years.

No one is perfect．We all mess up（搞砸）now and then．It can  36 a little bit to rememberthat most people have been in the  37   you’re in—hurting several people’s feelings．What makes the difference is what you do next． 38   can go along way toward healing(治愈) hurt or angry feelings．It takes 39  to step up and admit what you did was  40 ．Try saying，
“What I said the other day was  4l  insensitive of me．I shouldn’t have said that．I just want to say I’m sorry．”
When we say sorry, we  42  to be sincere to show we feel sorry about how hurt another person may be．If an apology is more about 43 and how we can benefit，it might not seem true．
Another element of saying sorry is to let the person know you’re not going to let it  44  again．You could tell your friends，“I’m going to be more aware of what I 45 and say about people in the future．I’ll make an effort(努力) to be   46   and more positive about people，and not to 47  behind their backs—especially when it’s my friends．”

Hopefully，your friends can stop being angry with you．But don’t be 51 if it doesn’t happen instantly．Some people are quick to 52 ．Others may have to think about what you said and need 53 to get over hurt feelings or anger , or to regain trust．Do your best with the part that’s up to you．The rest is up to them．
Stop being angry with yourself，too．You can learn from your 54 ．Being too self-critical can’t help you．Move forward．Focus your energies on trying to make things right  55   working on your good intentions!

?Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his   21 . Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very   22 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a   23 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of   25   that she does not want to   26 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She   28 about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   30 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   31 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I were angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   33 about her in my diary, she would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   35 read her blog and get angry.
There are also   36 to blogging, of course. If I were feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 37 would know about it. However if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   38 respond（回应）and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people   39 in contact with their friends and to hear what the people   40 them are doing.
