Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with        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        .So, what makes blogging different from writing in     diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more       than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of        that she does not want to      .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog      a diary will probably write nearly the same information. I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her          . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.        I was at her age, I wrote about the same things, but      in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was        that my sister might read it!
The biggest      with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something      about her in my diary, she would never know.        , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend        read her blog and get angry.
There are also      to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me.”        would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would      respond and tell her how much they        her. Blogs help people stay in      with their friends and to hear what the people around them are doing.

Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an           of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been        only a few decades ago.     , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears         resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
    Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved         its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks         to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also         thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year,         travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is        to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
Signs of Nanjing’s         wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen,         the father of modern China, looks         over a busy        area.
There is perhaps no more         symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May.         offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and        student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music         in all sorts of places.
On a larger        , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract         from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

The concept of solitude(獨處) in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be ______. Solitude can be hard to discover ______it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have ______our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n)      as we've known it. People have become so     in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted     they'd rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog (寫博客), not only from our   , but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become     on digital technology simply because they've grown accustomed to it, and at this point not     it would make them an outsider.   , many jobs and careers require people to be    . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a     to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who     wants it. Computers can be shut      and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be "connected" and " on" has many   , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up     on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel     and forced to answer unwanted calls or   to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society     across generations. Some find today's technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone's view on the subject, it's hard to imagine what life would be like     daily advancements in technology.

Many years ago,a French naturalist,the Count de Buffon,wrote some books about natural history.The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them.Some critics said,“Count Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”
Thomas Jefferson did not like what the Count had said about the natural wonders of the New World.It seemed to Jefferson that the Count had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.
This troubled Thomas Jefferson.He too was a naturalist,as well as a farmer,inventor,historian,writer and politician.He had seen the natural wonders of Europe.To him,they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788,Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state,Virginia.While writing,he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of the Count de Buffon.At that moment.Jefferson created a new word—belittle.He said.“The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”
Noah Webster,the American word expert,liked this word.He put it in this English language dictionary in 1806,“Belittle—to make small,unimportant.”
Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it.In 1797,the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported.“He is an honorable man,”the paper wrote,“so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”
In 1872,a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word.He said,“Belittle has no chance of becoming English.And as more critical writers of America,like those of Britain,feel no need of it,the sooner it is forgotten,the better.”
This expert failed to kill the word.Today.belittle is used where the English language is spoken.
【小題1】Why did Thomas Jefferson disagree with the Count de Buffon?

A.The Count said something silly about the Atlantic.
B.The Count wasn’t a true scientist in natural history.
C.The Count was a poet from a different country.
D.The Count belittled the natural wonders in America.
【小題2】We can infer that Jefferson created the word“belittle”out of his ___________.
A.a(chǎn)nger B.excitement
C.kindness D.responsibility
【小題3】From the text we can know that ______________.
A.a(chǎn)ll critics thought little of the Count de Buffon
B.Europe has better wonders than the New World
C.the word“belittle”survived from disagreements
D.word experts can change the future of a new word
【小題4】Which of the following is true of the word“belittle”?

So the evening turned to night, and the night turned to morning. And before I knew it , the SAT was before me. I wasn’t sure if I was ready, but I knew one thing: I wanted to get it over with.
SAT for the students is like tooth pulling. For those smart Asian kiddos, it’s like walking through the park: easy and carefree. For me, a Chinese American, …it’s: walking through the park and then tripping on a stone.
As I arrived outside of the dining hall, already a mob of students were sitting, talking, or standing silently waiting to get in. Jones students are lucky not only to have such a testing center at school, but also the feeling of their home school where it feels comfortable and familiar.
“ID, please,” my former math teacher asked at the door.
“Okay.” She looked over my ID, checked off my name on her list, and pointed towards the dining hall tables inside.
With hesitation, I picked up my feet and was directed to a large round table in the middle of the dinning hall. At least fourteen people could sit at this table but only four were allowed to take their test here.
“I’m glad it’s multiple choices.” I heard one student say. All the questions on the test have five choices except for one math section where they have only four. If you get an answer wrong, you don’t get any point, plus you get a penalty of a 1/4 point. If you don’t answer a question, you don’t get any point, nor penalties.
When everyone had a seat and the actual SAT I booklet in front of them, the proctor of the test called for our attentions. “In front of you, you should have a SAT I test and a scantron(答題卡). Please do not open the test booklet until I say so.” He then went on to talk about the procedures, the amount of time, signature of honesty, etc. After thirty minutes of instruction reading, he gave us all a solemn expression before saying, “You may begin now. Good luck.”
I could hear a hundred booklets being opened and pencils scratching the surface. I looked to my right, I looked to my left, I did a quick prayer for whoever was in charge up in the heavens, and started my test. At least I wouldn’t know my score until summer time.
