Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write about them in his diary (日记)．Now a teenager might surf the Internet and write about his problems in his blog. In some ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. What makes a blog different from a diary?

The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public (公开的) than a diary. I have a younger sister. Sometimes I read her blog. She writes about things like getting up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry exam. When I was her age, I wrote the same things, but only in my diary. After I finished writing, I would put my diary in a secret (秘密的) place because I was worried that someone else might read it.

A blog is public so it has some bad points (特点)．The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write .If I am angry with a friend during school and write something bad about him in my diary, he will never know. However, if my sister writes something bad about a friend, that friend may read her blog and cry. So we must be very careful to write.

Blogs have good points, of course. If I feel lonely and write “Nobody cares about me” in my diary, no one will know about it. However, if my sister writes the same words in her blog, her friends will quickly reply and tell her how much they like her. A blog helps people keep in contact (联系) with their friends.

If people are careful, writing blogs is really a good way to communicate with others. However, I still enjoy my diary! 75．What's the bad point of blogs?

A．People can't open your blog. B．Anyone can read what you write.

C．You can't talk with others in your blog. D．People will be sad after reading your blog.

76．What will happen if a girl writes she is sad in her blog?

A．No one will know about it. B．She will get a quick reply. C．Her parents will go to see her. D．Her friends will read it carefully. 77．Which is Not true according to the passage?

A．A diary is not public for everyone to read.

B．In some ways, a diary is quite different from a blog. C．Writing diaries helps us to keep in contact with friends. D．The writer's sister likes to write her problems in her blog. 78．What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．How to make friends by writing blogs. B．The reasons why the writer likes diaries. C．How to keep your secrets in your diary.

It was the first term of high school. Our head teacher and Chinese teacher was a nice young girl. In her first class, she stood in the front of our classroom for a while and said, “I am a ‘blind (盲的)' teacher.”

“Impossible！” all the students were surprised and said. “How could you be a blind teacher？”

“I am really a ‘blind' teacher. I can't find my mistakes while teaching. So I would like you to help me find them with your bright eyes. I'm sure you can do it.”

All the students listened with attention and tried to find her mistakes the whole lesson. A term later, we had got used to listening with attention to all the teachers. We learnt in this way until we finished our high school. Most students in our class went to college.

At the graduation ceremony (毕业典礼), we all took photos with her. I wrote some sentences at the back of the photo：“You're not a ‘blind' teacher .Like a boat, like a bridge, you send us to the other bank of wisdom (智慧)．You are the loveliest person in the world.”

A group of boys were playing basketball in the park. The basketball court (球场) didn't have a fence around it, so the ball would often fly out of the court.

One of the boys shot (投) the ball. The ball flew over the heads of all of the other boys. Then it flew over the hoop (篮筐) and out of the court.

There was a lake next to the basketball court. Anna was sitting near the lake and watching the ducks swim. She heard some shouting and turned to see a big orange thing flying to her.

“Stop the ball，” one of those boys shouted.

Anna saw the ball going to the lake. The ducks saw it, too and got scared. Anna saved the ducks and the ball. She stopped the ball before it got into the water.

“Bring it over here，” called one of the boys. Anna walked to the court. “Thank you，” they all said.

“Can I take a shot？” Anna asked the boys.

The boys said, “Sure.” But they all laughed, because Anna was so much younger and shorter than them. They didn't think she could make a shot.

The boys kept quiet when Anna shot the ball. The ball went straight into the hoop. Anna laughed as the boys all cheered (喝彩) loudly for her.
