【题目】How to keep a journal

Keeping a journal can be a way of giving your feelings an outlet like no other.1But it can be helpful to read suggestions for making the most of your journal,as well as some ideas about getting one started.

Find a journal medium that's perfect for you.2Both methods have advantages and drawbacks,so you'll need to weigh up what works best for you.For example,a paper based journal can be taken anywhere,never needs electricity.However,typing can be faster and easier in the electronic format.

Decide what kind of journal you'd like to keep.You could simply use your journal to write down all the thoughts that come to you at any particular time,randomly,or you could make your journal more focused on a specific theme to draw out something that you're trying to develop more of in your life.3

Find sources of inspiration.It's often easiest to start with your current feelings.4There are no rules at all about journal writing and you may find that your starting points vary every time you begin a new entry.Sometimes it is easier to begin with a narrative about something that happened to you during the day.Writing down the facts and events can open up a whole stream of consciousness as you're writing.

5Think about what things have become clearer to you from one journal entry to the next,and think about what hopes and dreams once written in your journal have now turned into reality.Use your journal to assess your life's journey.

A.Write down your feelings on paper and see where this takes you next.

B.Reflect over what you've written now and then.

C.Keep in mind that a journal is not about using a fancy book.

D.Decide how you want to keep your journal,either on paper or in electronic form.

E.Journal writing is a personal journey,determined wholly by your own thoughts.

F.It's fun to glue in little things of your life,like pictures you took of a breathtaking sunset.

G.And there is nothing saying that you can't keep both a random and a specific journal at the same time!

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Settled by the Celts, invaded by the Romans and the Normans, and ruled by the English, Wales' population has regularly changed over the ages. Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot (熔炉) of European nationalities and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coal mines of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce (劳动大军) there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay.
But during this period, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas.
The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a lack of housing for local people. This, combined with the lack of employment in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe.
As so many Welsh people have moved to other countries over the last 200 years, it's really no surprise that many visitors come to see friends and relatives. These visitors strengthen their links to their land of origin and continue to support the Welsh's development. During the hot summer days, about 28% of the visitors visit the countryside and nearly 70% visit the seaside.

(2)What does the writer want to tell us in the second paragraph?
