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. Its 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.21. A. the sameB. interestingC. difficultD. daily22. A. simpleB. specialC. similarD. different23.

Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some inspiration.1. Bill GatesHarvards campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvards most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the worlds richest man” for more than a decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the worlds wealthiest people. Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.2.

However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless. 3.

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime momentthe commencement.Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron（紫褐色）cap and gown(方帽长袍).Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的效忠宣誓).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasnt boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that persons life had turned. They were glimpsing（开始领悟） their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.46. Whats the article mainly about?A. An American graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US colleges farewell party.47.

Seniors went into the stadium.A. b-c-a-d-e B. b-d-c-e-a C. e-d-b-a-c D. e-d-c-b-a49.

We know from the text that the author _. A. felt lost about the future B. was actually one of the graduates C. received her diploma on May 10 D. felt it boring to be at the presentation ceremony CImagine, one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner thereSounds unusual，doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic，with the development of Chinas high-speed railway systemAnd thats not allChina has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern EuropeChina is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and SingaporeChina has proposed three such projectsThe first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and MalaysiaAnother could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to GermanyThe third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western EuropeIf Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two daysThe new system would still follow Chinas high-speed railway standardAnd the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour.
