Millions of young people are writing blogs．Millions of others are reading them．The word "blog" is a short way of saying Web log．
Many popular Web sites now offer free, easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures．Web sites called "Facebook" and "MySpace" are some of the most popular blog sites for young people．Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives．They also provide a place for people to write their ideas and opinions and how they think of others’ ideas．
Blogs offer young people a place to show their writings and feelings．They can also be helpful to connect* young people with others．But blogs can become dangerous when they are read on the Internet by millions of people all over the world．
Recent studies show that young people often provide their names, age and where they live on the Internet．That may not be safe for them．This personal information puts them at risk* of being searched out by dangerous people who want to hurt them．Many students do not know about privacy* and are surprised to learn that adults can read their personal daily records easily．Students can also get into trouble when they put information about others on their blogs．
As a result, many schools have banned* the use of blogging web sites on school computers． Many schools have also begun teaching parents about the web sites． Parents should know what their children are doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information．One way to keep away from these problems is to use programs so that blogs can be read by "friends only．" people can read the website only if they know a secret word chosen by the blogger．

Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings,attitudes, and rights, in a way that doesn't infringe（侵犯） the rights of others.
Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don't like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.
Why is Assertiveness important?
If you don't know how to be assertive, you might experience:
•Depression - Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life.
•Resentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you.
•Frustration - Why did I allow that to happen?
Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more ｉｍｐｏｒｔａｎｔ it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others！
But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live
with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive
response (积极的回应)，some people might react differently.
How to be effectively（有效地） assertive:
•Use "I" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you're having. "I'd like to be able to tell my stories without interruption." instead of "You're always interrupting my stories ! "
•Use facts, not opinions. "Did you know that shirt has a hole?" instead of "You're not going out looking like THAT, are you?"
•Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. "I get angry when he breaks his promises. " instead of "He makes me angry. "
• Make clear and direct requirements. Don't invite the person to say no. "Will you please?" instead of 'Would you mind．．．?" or "Why don't you．．．?"
•Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don't try to explain yourself.
1.The writer probably agrees that____________.
A. you should consider others' response before you act assertively
B. you should be assertive if you want to get good marks
C. assertiveness is the ability to infringe others' rights.
D. assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings
2.The expression "hold yourｇround" probably means “_________________”
A. reach an agreement
B. insist on your point
C. keep your word
D. keep on fighting
3.Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?
A. Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.
B. Expressing ownership of others' thoughts.
C. Making requirements directly and clearly.
D. Using your opinions instead of facts.
