It was reported
today that in
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday blogs lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written word.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
64. What type of text is this?
A. A biog. B. A diary. C. A news report. D. A school textbook.

A. Humorous and light - hearted. B. Serious and factual.
C. Conversational. D. Informal.

Parsley (西芹) is an ancient green, rich in vitamins and nutrients. But many times on dinner table, its job is just to decorate the plates. Then after dinner it is thrown away as the taste is a little strong for many people.
Curly parsley is often
planted just for its appearance. Many gardeners grow it as a border for
flowerbeds. Flat-leaf parsley is easier to work with for cooking. This kind is
often called Italian or French parsley.
Parsley can often be found in food such as a traditional Lebanese salad. And it is often served with lamb, fish and beef dishes. Parsley is an herb (草本植物) if you use just the greens.
Some gardeners suggest that you should plant new seeds every year to get the best tasting parsley. You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave the seeds in the water overnight, and you can grow them in boxes indoors or plant them outside. Parsley grows best when temperatures are about 21℃, in sunny places: The seeds need rich, wet soil. Water them regularly during the first month. After that, parsley does not need very much water.
For harvest, you can cut most of it from the ground. To dry parsley, tie it together and hang it in a warm, dark, airy place.

A. it becomes dirty B. it loses its nutrients

The Pathfinder
When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.
After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.
We found him just in time.
This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, had he made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway, or off a known path.
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it's still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes that the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but he is seldom lost.
There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the "lost" situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard (暴风雪) may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn't show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.
The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He'11 be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.
72. The author suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have ______.
A. been shot by a gun B. become confused
C. been attacked by wild animals D. been in great danger
73. According to the passage, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, he would ______.
A. worry about being laughed at
B. push himself to find his way out
C. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends
D. be concerned about being frightened by wild animals
74. When a person tries to find his way in the woods, is the most important.
A. intelligence B. observation C. direction D. chance
75. The author tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who ______.
A. go into the woods by themselves
B. don't know how to signal for help properly
C. are frightened when they think they are lost
D. notice everything when stepping from the highway

My favorite sport is football. I was a member of
our school football team. We practice for three times
every week and often watch football match on TV
together. Play football not only makes us grow up
tall and strong but also give us a sense of fair play and
team spirit. We must keep in mind that we play
for the team instead ourselves. Also, the sport
teaches us the important of obedience (服从). Each
player must obey captain, who is the leader of
the team. And they must not break the rules too
often if we want to win the game.
