My sister, an inexperienced rider, was found sitting on the bicycle to balance it. A. having——青夏教育精英家教网—

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. Noy way could I have 　　 36　 . Maybe someone had kicked her 　　 37　　their car the night before. “No 　　 38　　for her any more with the baby coming.”“We never really wanted her，but what could we have done？She was a　　 39　 .” People find all sorts of excuses for 　　 40　　an animal.

I called her Goldie. If I had 　　 41　　what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those 　　 42　　few days.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with 21　 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 22 . But what makes bolgging different from writing in a(n) 　　 23　 diary?

　 The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 25 that he does not want to 26 with others.

　 It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

　 I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 28 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 　29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it.

The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 33 about him in my diary, he would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 35　 her blog and get angry.

　 There are also 36 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would　 37 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly 38 and tell her how much they 39　 her. Blogs help people 40 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
