Dear Bob,

It’s very kind of you to write me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown Jiangcheng.

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    21    them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very    22   . But what makes blogging 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 as 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    in 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 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 at 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 would care about me because no one would    37    about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentences in her blog, her best friend would quickly    38    and tell her how much he want to    39    her. Blogs help people    40    in contact with their friends and to know what the people around them are doing.

 “  42  if the men refuse to follow my orders？” Rogers asked.He thought of  Tony，an immigrant worker who   43  all day，giving the other men a  44  time.

“Fire them，” the boss said.Then，as if   45  Rogers' mind，he added，“I suppose you  think you are going to  fire Tony if you get the  46  .I'd feel     47  about that.I have been logging for 40 years.Tony is the most  48  worker I've ever had.I know he is a troublemaker and that he  49  everybody and everything.But he comes in first and leaves last.There has not been an  50  for eight years on the hill where he works.”

Rogers took over the next day.He went to Tony and spoke to him.“Tony，do you know I'm in charge here today？”Tony grunted(嘟囔).“I was going to fire you the first time we tangled(纠缠)，  51  I want you to know I'm not，”he told Tony，  52  what the boss had said.

When Rogers finished，Tony  53  the spadeful(铲子)of sand he had held and tears streamed  54  his face.

Tony replied，“If it not be for the one  57  you talk to me back in Idaho，I kill somebody someday.One minute  58  my whole life.”

DALLAS – A suburban Dallas woman accused of killing her two young children told a 911 operator that she first tried to poison them because they were autistic(自闭症) and she wanted "normal kids," then choked(窒息) them with a wire until they stopped moving, according to the recorded call.

Irving police on Wednesday released recordings of the 911 call after Saiqa Akhter was charged with capital murder in the death of her 5-year-old son, Zain Akhter and her 2-year-old daughter, Faryaal Akhter. Police said the children were attacked at the family's apartment Monday night.

"They are not doing anything. They are just blue and they are not taking any breaths and ... their heart is not beating," she said.

She told the operator she initially tried to poison the children with bathroom cleaner but they refused to drink it. When that didn't work, "I used a wire on their necks," she said.

When the operator asked the woman why she attacked her children, she said, "They're both not normal, not normal. They're autistic. Both are autistic." Pressed further, she said, "I don't want my children to be like that. ... I want normal kids."

Later, the dispatcher asked the woman what she was feeling. "Nothing," she responded.

At one point, water could be heard running in the background and the dispatcher asked what the woman what she was doing. She told the operator she was trying to wash the smell of cleaner off of her hands. The dispatcher then told the woman to go sit on a couch in the living room and wait for police.

May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States. This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall. But according to a recent report, there is a great change. Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever.    36  

These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier.    37    On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time. Students may not like being put on waiting lists. Also, common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some universities send gifts.    38    

For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous.    39    The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student’s loans. So lately, top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students.

   40    The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down. This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finish high school. The number is not expected to start rising again until 2016.

A. Besides, top colleges are facing changes in the population.

B. What contributes to it?

C. But a mistake can be costly if it happens.

D. But top colleges ignore them.

E. They have international students who know English.

F. It can mean several acceptances to choose from.

G. They cannot afford college as planned.

 With a gun         , the thief rushed into the bank, his eyes         .

  A. in hand; exposing                      B. in the hand; being exposed

  C. in his hand; exposed                    D. in a hand; to expose

It’ S human to want light and warmth. God’ S first recorded words were “Let there be light”. And night belongs to the dark side. Electricity ’ S triumph over the night keeps us safer as well as busier. We now live in a fast-moving，fully lighted world where night still happens， but is optional to experience. Our all-weather culture has washed out the night. In fact we treat the night like failed daylight.

Yet slowness and silence—the different rhythm of the night—are a necessary correction to the day. I think we should stop being night-resisters，and learn to celebrate the changes of the seasons，and adjust ourselves to autumn and winter ，not just turn up the heating，leave the lights on and complain a lot.

Night and dark are good for us. As the nights grow longer，it’s time to reopen the dreaming space. Have you ever spent an evening without electric light?

We have all experienced negative darkness—those long nights when we can ’ t sleep，and worry a­bout everything, and so we know that “dark time” can seem endlessly long ，compared with daytime. Yet this slowing of time can be the most relaxing and beautiful experience. Spending the evening in candle­light ，and maybe by the fire—without TV—talking，telling stores，we let the lit-up world go by without us ，expand the hours，and change the thoughts and conversations we usually have.

I have noticed that when all the lights are on，people tend to talk about what they are doing—their outer lives. Sitting round in candlelight or firelight，people start to talk about how they are feeling——their inner lives. They argue less，there are longer pauses.

To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative. I have my best ideas at dawn or at night­fall ，but not if I switch on the lights.

Fire，dreams， slowness， time， quietness， books， seasons—all these things，which are not really things，but moments of life—take on a different quality at night-time，when the moon reflects the light of the sun，and we have time to reflect what life is to us，knowing that it passes and that every bit of it，in its change and its difference，is the here and now of what we have.

63.Life is too short to be all daylight. Night is not less ； it’s more.By saying the underlined words，the author implies_______.

A.    we need more light to feel safer

B.    it is necessary to turn off the lights

C．it is good to be silent during the day

D．people are often too busy in a noisy world

64.The author claims to _______with lights turned off at night.

A.    have more original ideas   B. be lonely

C.    have a strange feeling       D.feel safer

65.In the second paragraph from bottom the author intends to tell us_______.

A.    night is good time for us to think

B.    time flies and we should treasure it

C.    things take on a different form at night

D.    everything has a different quality in different time

66.  What’ S the best title of the passage?

A.    Light and night.

B.    Why I love the night?

C.    Home for rest and thought.

D.    How to enjoy a different life.

With the development of modern technology, there are a plenty of ways for us to contact people. WeChat is probably our favorite, mainly because of its convenient. We can keep in contact with friends whenever it is and wherever we are as long as Wi-Fi is available. Another advantage is it is a relative cheap and quick way of communication. As messages get send and received instantly, the cost of making phone calls is cut down. Besides, music as well as pictures and videos are often downloaded through WeChat, but it is now a useful entertainment tool. However, problems exist at the meanwhile. For example, your identity can be easily revealed, so we should pay attention to protect our personal information.
