5．Over the past few years，there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online．In this article，we will learn about some positive reasons for people to share information online．
94% of those surveyed by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others．We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate，entertain，or pleasantly surprise them．This is also true while sharing information online．If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends，you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes（引述），entertaining videos，humorous images，funny jokes，etc．
A lot of people share information online to picture their true self to the outside world．Some people，especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others，find it extremely convenient to share that information online with others．
According to the study，78% of the people said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships．Today，people are so busy that they do not have the time to meet each other personally．A lot of people now"meet"each other online，rather than in places like restaurants and pubs．
Lastly，when we share our thoughts online，we are actively communicating with a large number of people who are a part of the World Wide Web．Sharing information will affect the viewpoint of others，or add to their understanding about the world．

7．In the United States，when one becomes rich，he wants people to know it．And even if he does not become very rich，he wants people to think that he is．That is what‘keeping up with the Joneses'is about，It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors．
The expression was first used in 1913by a young American called Arthur Momand．He told this story about himself．He began earning﹩125a week at the age of 23．That was a lot of money in those days．He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City．When he saw that rich people rode horses，Momand went horseback riding every day．When he saw that rich people had servants，Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors．

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses．And there are‘Joneses'in every city of the world．But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does，Mr．Jones always seems to be ahead．

4．Once，when I was a kid I was waiting for my grandmother to arrive at New Orleans airport（41）
Bhe flight attendants sailed by pulling suitcases on wheels．Their smiles and casual conversation（42）C my attention．I knew at that moment that I wanted to be part of their world．
Actually，the signs that I was （43）Ato be a flight attendant were always there．My mother once asked me what item from nature I would be if I could．Without（44）AI replied"A cloud，because they are always moving and never stay the same：、And my favorite heroine一Wonder Woman（45）Dmy future job．
While my airline（46）Cchanged over the years，the excitement of observing the world from above never stopped．And while I（47）B work as a flight attendant，I still remember some of the most powerful and（48）Amoments I've had．

3．Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing．
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think，feel or only partly understand．Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding．In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power"．
Try this experiment．Explain how you'll increase your brain power，even if you have no idea how right now．Just start with anything，and create an explanation．For example，start with"I'll learn chess'or‘I'll read an article on the mind every week．'
Explain how that will help．You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan，and if you actually do this，you'll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now．
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember．Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes．You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal （日志）of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project，you'11probably have more success．
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it．That's an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better．Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem---why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you're half-way there．
Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand．Often，they write about something because they want to understand it．You can do the same．Writing will help bring you to all understanding．Give it a try．

64．According to the text，writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPTC．
A．to increase of your brain power        
B．To ability to remember
C．to development of your interest in study  
D．to better understanding of a topic

A．you are already successful      
B．you still need to work hard
C．writing can help you walk half way   
D．writing is important to solve problems
66．What's the main purpose of the writer writing the text？B
A．To advise readers to start their writing
B．To explain the importance of writing
C．To persuade readers to become writers．
D．To increase readers'brain power．
