　　　 A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog” . The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog , and they can write about anything they like.

　　　 There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them . They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.

　　　 A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs .It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls . They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives . The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.

　　　 However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas . For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs .And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.

　　　 At the same time ,some long-standing blogs have ended Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service weblogs. com . He says the site became too costly to continue .He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it .They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.

　　　 One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket . Rebecca Blood created the Website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site .That article led to a book called “ The Weblog Handbook” It has been translated into four languages so far.

　　　 Ms. Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month . She writes about anything and everything-politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice . And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.

　　　 It was like a door that had been left open invitingly . Bob stepped through, and immediately regretted it . He was standing in a dim low-ceilinged cave, the walls carved out of solid ice.

　　　 There were five children there ,huddling(拥抱)together in corner ,their eyes fixed hopefully on his . They were dressed exactly as he was ,in pale sheepskin jackets and trousers ,with matching boots ,and caps pulled down over their ears .All of them were in their mid teens, and their faces, pinched(皱缩)as much by fear as with cold , seemed strangely familiar ,as though he had known them all his life . A girl with intense dark eyes nodded towards the end of the room. When he failed to respond, she nodded again , more urgently than before, her lips forming words soundlessly.

　　　 He saw then what he should have seen earlier, a second door set low in the end wall. It was much smaller and far less noticeable than the first ,yet he felt drawn to it just the same . Or was he merely being encouraged by his silent companions? Another of them ,a timid boy, gave him a smile of encouragement, which was instantly reflected in all the other faces .He found it difficult to resist, as if this, after all ,was why he was here to help them out in their mysterious adventure . And under the pressure of their combined request, he bent down and crawled through　 the low opening .This time he emerged onto a windswept ledge(岩壁). Above him, dark grey clouds racked across an even grey sky Below-far below-lay a deserted valley heaped with slabs(厚片)of ice.
