Did you know that a new weblog is being created each second? Many of these bloggers are teenagers. While their parents wrote in a diary to express their emotions, or shared their interests by spending time with friends, teens are now using blogs instead. In fact, in the US, one in every five school-aged teens has a blog. Most of these are just chatter, some are funny or clever, but a few have become Internet success.

For example, Chloe Spencer’s blog ‘Neopets Fanatic’ gets around 300,000 hits per month. When Chloe was 15, she started the blog out of her strong liking for Neopets, a kind of pet website. One reason her blog has so many visitors is because she gives instructions and tips for the popular pet site.

Then there is Tavi Gevinson’s blog ‘Style Rookie’. It is said to get 1.5 million hits per month. Tavi, who started her blog when she was just 12, puts up her photos of her own clothes online as well as designers’ collections. Tavi’s blog has caught on because she knows a lot about style for someone so young, and she is not afraid to try out unusual clothes or see things in a different way.

Blogs like these are interesting, but they only become really popular after better-known websites link to them or they get noticed by the media(传媒). For example, Tavi’s blog became an overnight(一夜之间) success after being written about in The New York Times. Popular blogs can even earn money, usually from advertisements that companies pay to put up on the bloggers’ sites.

So for some, blogging is just a recreation(消遣), but for others, it can become a source of income and even a full-time job!

【小题1】 Teens nowadays ________ than their parents did.

The undersea world is very beautiful．（1）Now more and more people want to dive in deep sea to find the secrets there．Diving is a new sport today．It can take you into a wonderful undersea world．

You will find many strange animals in the sea．Some are as large as a school bus．Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth．

In the daytime，there is much light．Here，under the sea，everything is blue and green． When fish swim nearby，you can catch them with your hands．When you have bottles of air on your back，you can stay in deep water for a long time．However，you can’t dive too deep． And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water．

（2）深海并非易居之地。It is cold，and it is dark，too．The  3  it is，the less sun．1ight there is．At about 3，000 feet，there is no light at all．It is dark in the sea．Many fishes have no eyes．Some have big eyes．A few have eyes on one side．

Besides the cold and darkness，deep-sea animals face a third danger-other animals．

Like human beings，sea animals also eat!   4  Some of them eat plants．However， some eat meat．This means these sea animals have two big jobs．They need to find animals as food，and they have to try not to become other animals’ meal．
