Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with the    36   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   37  , but what makes blogging different from writing in a(n)  38  diary?

The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   40  that he does not want to   41  with others.

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her  43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.

  44 I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but   45  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   46 that my sister might read it.

The biggest   47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something  48  about him in my diary, he would never know.   49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might

  50  her blog and get angry.

There are also   51  to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary “ Nobody cares about me …”, no one would   52  about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly   53  and tell her how much they   54  her. Blog helps people   55  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

Short after that I heard a scream behind .I looked back to see what was happened .A little girl about 8 years old fell down and the banana peel was exactly under her left shoes . She stood up without cry .Then she picked up the banana peel and ran toward the dustbin .On that moment ,I realized my fault , and went to apologize her for that ,but my vanity (虚荣心)prevented me . The little girl had taught me a good lesson by her action.. And now, after I do everything, I’ll think carefully whether it’s right or wrong.

Talk about a real-life hero! Ten-year-old Larry Champagne from St. Louis, Missouri, hit the brake (刹车) on a runaway school bus. He saved himself and 20 other kids on board from disaster.

It all happened in one terrible accident. On the way to school, the bus driver, Ernestine Blackman, suddenly fell ill. Seeing the car was running away, the other kids started to scream, but Larry ran to the front and stopped the bus.

“At first I thought, ‘We’re going to die,’” says Larry, “but after I pressed the brake, I felt safe.”

Larry’s speedy reaction made news all over the country. He appeared on TV shows as a hero. The bus company gave Larry a big gift. His school hung a medal of honor around his neck.

“My grandmother always tells me to do what’s right,” says Larry. He thanked his brother, Jerrick, 9, who “helped me get the bus driver up” during the emergency. How did he know how to stop the bus?

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans, day and night: “Sorry.”

One time as I was walking on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing against my handbag. Even as he continued on his way, he turned back and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t forget to apologize. One day, after I bought a mango, the salesman was giving me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped to the ground. “I’m sorry,” he said while bending down to pick it up. I was puzzled—why would he apologize when it is my fault?

Another time, I stepped on a man’s foot in an escalator, at the same time, we both said “sorry”. I thought it interesting, was it really necessary for him to apologize? Later on, an American friend explained to me that according to the American mentality, the escalators a public place, and everyone should be able to stand in it. After someone occupies a position in the elevator, making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand, isn’t it necessary to express an apology?

If you go to the movies and the tickets happen to be sold out, the ticket seller will say: “Sorry, the tickets are sold out.” Whenever one of your hopes goes unfulfilled, an American will say “sorry” as a sign of sympathy.

During my stay in America, I often came across situations in which I was supposed to say “sorry”. Gradually, I realized that when friction（摩擦）appears in daily life, Americans don’t care much about who is wrong; If someone is troubled, a “sorry” is always necessary. When this happens, even if the other person is hurt, the “sorry” cools tempers and human kindness is shown. Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses, subways or streets of America.

A．angry            B．interested         C．approving(赞成)    D．disappointed

5.The best title for the passage can be “_______”.

A．My life in America                       B．Americans’ “sorry”

C．My experience in an escalator             D．The meaning of “sorry”

I had an interested experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of French, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved me. I stopped and he asks me for a lift.. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him with French and he answered in the same language. Apart from a little words, I don’t know any French at all. None of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached to the town, when the young man suddenly said , very slow, “ Do you speak English?” As I soon learned, he was English him!
