26、Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.
Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.
Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.

27、When I was a little girl, a couple in our community went through a tragedy. They lost a young child and were in deep despair. Shortly afterward, my mother ran into the father at the local supermarket. He turned to my mother and said, “Your husband saved our life. He was the one more than anyone else who helped us get through this incredible loss.”
My mother wanted to know what message of solace was given to lift them from the depths of despair. So back at home, she asked my father about their conversation many times, but my father insisted that he had said nothing.
A few weeks later the couple came over to our home. After sitting down for a few minutes, my mother gently said, “You told me that my husband helped you the most when you went through your awful sadness. What did he say?”
“Rebbetzin, you husband did not say one word. He just came over to our home and walked over to me without saying anything. And then he reached over to me, took my hands into his and hugged me. I looked up and saw tears falling from his eyes. You cannot imagine what that felt like. Your husband felt my pain. I was not sitting alone with my suffering.”
My mother was quiet, absorbing the message this man was giving.
“No, your husband did not speak. I didn’t need him to give me words. I needed his heart and soul.”
When I recall this story, I realize the truth. When having someone in our lives who is going through difficulty, we are often at a loss. What do we say? How do we make it all better? What is the greatest gift we can give to our loved ones?
We tend to think that we must fill space with words. But when you want to give of yourself, give a listening heart. Sometimes a person in pain needs you to stay silent. Just now that you are there for them. Perhaps you can’t fix anything or take away the pain, but you can feel it. With the silence comes sympathy and understanding. And you share the load.
【1】What does the underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Guidance.
B．Comfort.
C．Inspiration.
D．Appreciation.
【2】How might my mother feel after hearing the man’s words?
A．Satisfied. .
B．Annoyed.
C．Disappointed.
D．Surprised.
【3】What can be learned from the text?
A．Time is the recipe to cure a broken heart.
B．Your presence speaks louder than any word.
C．Listening to your heart is of great importance.
D．A random act of kindness can make a difference.
28、Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly here she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the spectacular Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board, "Gallagher said. "My mum and grand-mother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos she receives only positive feedback."My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do, " she said. "I don’t know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.
【1】What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?
A．She enjoys her travelling across the globe.
B．She suffers little from her legs amputation.
C．She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.
D．She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.
【2】Gallagher can best be described as________
A．helpful and ambitious
B．friendly and generous
C．determined and creative
D．independent and sensible
【3】What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The Continent.
B．The pictures.
C．The leg.
D．The locations.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．Never Too Late to Share
B．A Special Artificial Leg
C．An Outstanding Photographer
D．Gallagher’s Summer Holiday
29、 Appealing to rich people's desire to control events is a better tactic to get them to donate to the charity, rather than their community spirit. That's the finding of a psychological study building on previous research which found that the wealthy people value the ability to control the outcome of different events compared to lower-income people.
Donations from high earners were 1.5 times larger when researchers tailored(定制)the words of letters requesting financial support to play on this desire.
Experts from Harvard University wrote to 12,000 alumni of an Ivy League business school—who were earning $ 100,000 (£ 80,000) per year or more—asking them to donate to the school. Two sets of letters were sent out—one saying the “community” needed to take action, while the other called on individual action. The letter were phrased respectively as "Sometimes, one community needs to come forward and support a common goal" or "Sometimes, one person needs to come forward and take individual action”.
Respondents to the second letter gave $ 432 (£ 340) on average compared to the $ 270 (£ 215) average from the first group.
New Scientist Ashley Whillans, who led the research, said, "We think that giving high-income earners a sense of control makes them want to give more.”
【1】What is the finding of the psychological study?
A.Community spirit is more important in getting donation.
B.Meeting wealthy people's desire of controlling events can get more donation.
C.Wealthy people do not care about their community spirit at all.
D.Lower-income people are more likely to control the result of events.
【2】What does the underlined word them refer to in the third paragraph?
A.experts. B.letters.
C.events. D.alumni.
【3】According to the passage, which of the following messages can get more donation?
A.Your help can benefit the blind boy.
B.Let's take action for a common goal.
C.It's necessary to help the blind boy.
D.Our community works together to help the blind boy.
【4】The author writes the passage in order to__________.
A.assist the poor to lead a meaningful life
B.stress the impact of the rich's controlling desire on donation
C.appeal to more people to focus on the poor's feeling
D.persuade the rich to donate more to the charity

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.
What’s the point of reading if we all forget what we read sooner or later? Being a liberal arts (文科) teacher, more often than not, I will find myself confronted with this sort of question. And knowing that I am not in a good position to 【1】 this question which can be simple and hard at the same time, I always quote what William Johnson Cory has written in a letter in which he articulates (清晰表达) the purpose of education. From my perspective, his words can also be taken as a 【2】 argument for reading. The full quotation goes:
“At school you are 【3】 not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you 【4】 the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the 【5】 of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits: for the habit of attention, for the art of entering 【6】 into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure (批判) and refutation (反驳), for the art if indicating assent (附议) or dissent (异议) in gradated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the art of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage, and for mental soberness (清醒).”
Besides, even though we eventually forget most of what we read, there can still be 【7】 in the moments of reading a particular book in a particular place. What I remember most about Hemingway’s short-story 【8】 Men Without Women is the persistent cough I had due to a heavy cold, which at that time did give me a strong feeling that I would also like to die for my beloved.
So the purpose of reading is not to memorize 【9】 everything we read but to keep reading. After all, if there are no 【10】 opinions on the idea that we are what we eat then we are also what we read.
