Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but in other parts of the world. About 200 million people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a  23  language. Millions of people are trying to do so.

Is  24  easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different  25 . Have you ever  26  the ads of this kind in the newspapers or magazines?

“Learning English in six months, or your  27  back…”“Easy and funny? Our records and tapes  28  you master your English in a month.  29  your first day your  30   will be excellent. Just send…”Of course, it never  31  quite like this.

If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Imagine  34  a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. When he is using a language, talking in it, and  35  it all the time, just imagine how much  36  that gets.

So it is  37  to say that learning English is easy, because a good command (掌握; 精通)of English  38  upon a lot of practice. And practice needs great effort and  39  much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books and dictionaries will work.  40 they cannot do the student’s work for him.

Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal their souls, to vent(发泄), and even to gossip.

       Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (暂停) because on their blogs they posted threatening words to their teachers.

       Recent surveys found that nearly a fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online journals.

       With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be engaged in blogging.

       In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later. To minimize (减少) the negative effect, change the permission setting and make such posts “private” so that only you can read them.

       As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.

       68. Blogs are the place where people _________.

       A. go online to have a chat                 B. go online to enjoy freedom

       C. go online to express themselves freely      D. exchange their views online

              69. The fact that some American students got suspensions is used to show that ________.

       A. people should be careful with what they write

       B. people should not put their life online

       C. American students are limited in blogging

       D. anyone who has access to the Web has his blog
