Dr. Martinez put on a false smile (假笑) as she entered Janet Eslin’s hospital room. She couldn’t let Janet see that she was worried. Yet she had been searching for the cause of Janet’s illness and hadn’t found a clue（线索）.
“How are you feeling today?” Dr. Martinez asked her patient. Janet replied that she felt about the same----terribly uncomfortable.
The doctor tried to get Janet’s mind off her health by talking about Janet’s vacation at Lake Winnow. But Dr. Martinez couldn’t keep her own mind on the conversation. She kept wondering what could be wrong with her patient.
Suddenly Janet’s words interrupted Dr. Martinez’s thoughts: “… the vacation was really perfect, except for the food. The last meal I ate was especially terrible.”
Dr. Martinez quickly snapped back into the conversation, “Janet, when did you eat that meal?” Janet said that it had been the day before yesterday.
“I think we’ve discovered your problem,” Dr. Martinez said as she left. Several hours later, Dr. Martinez was back with the answer. “Janet, the food you ate made you ill. You’re suffering from food poisoning. Now that we know what’s wrong, we can take care of your problem.”
【小题1】What made Janet sick?

 Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with  26  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  27  ．But what makes blogging different from writing in a（n） 28  diary?

       The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   29   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   30   that he does not want to   31  with others.

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   32  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   33  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  34  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   35  in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  36  that my sister might read it.

The biggest   37   with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   38  about him in my diary, he would never know.  39  ,  if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might   40  her blog and get angry.

There are also   41   to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would   42  about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly   43   and tell her how much they  44   her. Blogs help people   45  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

Tara、Claudia、Monica、Terry 和Tony正在挑选自己所需要的网站。第56至60题是他们的个人情况介绍。阅读下面六个网站的简介(A、B、C、D、E、F)，选出符合各人需要的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。
56. Tara has got a new video camera and is crazy about it. Wherever she goes, she’d like to take it with her and record everything she finds interesting. She thinks it cool to share her life with others through the recordings.
57. As a newcomer to this city, Claudia wants to make new friends with people around her. She likes this city except for one thing, that is, she is not allowed to raise any pet due to the flat rules. That’s too much for an animal lover like her.
58. Monica is clever with her hands and likes making toys. She wants to find a way to show her work to others and share the pleasure with them. If possible, she’d like to make pocket money by selling the toys.
59. Terry worries about his phone bill every month. As he has lots of friends, making phone calls, sending and receiving messages are a necessary part of his life. Sometimes he has to say hello to each of his friends by mobile phone. It costs him lots of time and money.
60. In his spare time, Tony travels a lot. It’s hard for his friends to get in touch with him when he’s away. He’d like to find a way to share his travel experiences with his friends and let them know where he is.
