Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 1 . But what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) ___2___ diary?

The biggest 9 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 10 about him in my diary, he would never know. However, if my sister ever wrote something had about a friend, that friend might 11 her blog and get angry.

There are also 12 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me…” Because no one would 13 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly 14 and tell her how much they like her. Blog helps people 15 in contact with their friend and know what the people around them are doing.

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.

People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. Then

People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.

Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.

A. only when we can see well

B. only when we cannot see perfectly

C. even if we can see well

The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane.

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘Mo, thank you.’

41. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.

A. learning English B. finding places to stay in England

C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England by car

42. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.

A. they would be able to practise their English

B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

43. “NO VACANCIES” in English means ______.

A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays

44. If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.

A. fall into a hole

B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D. have to take a different road

45. When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ______.
