A ¡°blogger¡± is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a ¡°blog£¨²©¿Í£©¡±.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£¬advertisements, advice and ideas for 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 Web-site 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 Rebecea¡¯s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything ¡ª 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.

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it¡¯s given from the heart. When people are talking, there¡¯s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they¡¯re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don¡¯t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying ¡°I¡¯m so sorry,¡± when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about them. Eventually, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.
СÌâ1:What does the author value most in the communication with each other?
A£®Deep understandingB£®Saying ¡°I¡¯m Sorry¡±.
C£®Attention from heart.D£®Doing nothing.
СÌâ2:The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because ______.
A£®She didn¡¯t get enough respect from others
B£®she was discouraged by being often interrupted
C£®people often told her their own opinions
D£®people couldn¡¯t understand her sad situation
СÌâ3: If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may ______.
A£®hurt his feelingsB£®make him embarrassed
C£®encourage him to continue to cryD£®stop him from letting out his sorrow
СÌâ4: It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, ______.
A£®listening is a perfect way to respond to others
B£®people keep silent because they don¡¯t know the answer
C£®keeping silent means being too shy to speak
D£®it is easy to form the habit of listening silently
Kids in the Kitchen

Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always controlled the situations to his advantage. Probably this might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species on the earth. As we climbed the steps of development, we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking -- we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of time.
If you are hungry, what do you do? Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet. Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such things. So it silently began to care about your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?" "Why am I always given the difficult problems?" Well, this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read, your mind will open up like never before.
СÌâ1:What is the function of the first paragraph?
A£®To show humans are the most developed.
B£®To introduce the topic of the passage.
C£®To indicate people have different needs to satisfy.
D£®To explain why people need to read.
СÌâ2:What does the author mean by saying "When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop."
A£®When mind keeps growing, creativity fully stops.
B£®When freedom is lost, creativity gets a full stop.
C£®When mind stops growing, creativity fully stops.
D£®When growing is lost, creativity gets a flail stop.
СÌâ3:The paragraph following the passage is probably about ______.
A£®how the pre-historic man feeds his mind
B£®what other advantages reading brings
C£®how to develop creativity
D£®how to satisfy your mind by watching TV
СÌâ4: The author tends to tell us ______.
A£®reading can satisfy your all needsB£®reading can result from creativity
C£®reading can feed your mindD£®reading can realize your dreams
I had made up my mind a long time ago that I would not give a homeless person money, because I could never be sure what that money would be used for. Instead, I decided, I would buy them a sandwich, a cold drink on a hot day, a cup of coffee, whatever I could manage.
I was out recently and saw a homeless man outside of a Starbucks. I decided I would buy this man lunch. I bought a sandwich and soda.
Just as I was leaving the store, two policemen were approaching the man. Obviously the shop owners had complained of his wandering and the police were there to draw him away from the storefronts. Just as they were about to wake him, I asked one of the officers if it was all right if I just gave the man something before he went. I was not sure why I asked the permission but the policeman said sure and I just left the bag in the man¡¯s cart, got in my car and drove off.
As I was driving off I remember thinking ¡°I hope people saw that¡±. Then I had to seriously ask myself why I hoped people had seen me give the man a sandwich from Starbucks. Was it because I wanted people to think, ¡°She¡¯s such a nice person!¡±? Why did I hope others had seen me do it? I continued to wonder this all evening.
The next morning, it came to me that I wanted people to have witnessed that small act of kindness not so that I would receive credit and praise but so that they might be inspired to do the same and in so doing that others still would witness their acts of kindness. Thus the whole spirit of pity and giving would be lasting.

When you leave home to go and live somewhere else, you naturally take your own personality and cultural ways with you. When you arrive in a new country with a different culture you can experience different kinds of feelings and reactions. For example, you may feel confused and nervous, and like to depend on others.
If you do experience these things, then you are probably experiencing culture shock. For example, coming to Australia from another country certainly gives you a chance to face many new things: the buildings look different, and the food is not what you are used to. You may not be able to speak with other people confidently.
Learning to function effectively in a new culture is not easy. Meanings in cross-cultural situations are often unclear. This can be stressful because you are not sure what others expect of you or what you can expect of them. In these situations it is natural to feel anxious and frustrated(´ìÕÛ). If you recognize that these feelings are a normal part of the experience of living away from ¡°home¡±, you may be able to deal with them more efficiently. Your sense of humor and openness will also help. As you gain greater understanding of the new culture, you can expect the stress to disappear.
Dealing with culture shock needs a special effort, but it is the most important to remember that you are not alone in your feelings of distress. Most people in their first weeks and months in a new country experience similar reactions.
СÌâ1:This passage mainly tells us _______.
A£®How to adapt£¨ÊÊÓ¦£© to a new environmentB£®how to live in Australia happily
C£®how to study in a new environmentD£®how to avoid being nervous
СÌâ2:Why do people have many kinds of feelings in a new country?
A£®Because they are surprised at everything they see.
B£®Because buildings are very beautiful.
C£®Because culture shock does have a great effect on them.
D£®Because they have to learn something quickly.
СÌâ3:The stress may disappear slowly as you __________.
A£®have the ability to get along well with others
B£®can know more about the new culture
C£®can consider the stress to be normal
D£®are humorous and have a good mood
СÌâ4:Which of the following is the most important thing in dealing with culture shock?
A£®Your efforts.B£®Your attitude.C£®Your feelings.D£®Your humor.
