Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with   36  problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very   37  . So, what makes blogging different from writing in   38  diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   40  that she does not want to   41 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   42  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   43  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.   44  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   45  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   46  that my sister might read it!
The biggest   47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   48 about her in my diary, she would never know!   49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   50  read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also   51  to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.”  52  would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   53  respond and tell her how much they   54  her. Blogs help people   55  in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

Hallmark arrived in my hometown of Calcutta, India when I was 16. On Valentine’s Day(情人节), I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store. I remember wishing two things. One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism(资本主义) was ruining your culture.
The next Valentine’s Day, I still didn’t have a boyfriend, but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer. I can’t remember what it exactly said inside the card, but it hardly mattered. I know I’m not the only one who’s had the blues because of being single on Valentine’s Day.
It’s not just on Valentine’s Day that I’m reminded of these feelings. One night, my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive. The station was mostly full of college students, and later an older couple walked in. Just at that moment, a street musician started playing She’s Only a Woman to Me. The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world. On the train, I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station, and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员).
My view of romance has changed from when I was 16 in Calcutta to now, 23, and living in Manhattan. This year, I won’t focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day. I’ll spend Valentine’s Day with friends in New York City. But I won’t try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone. Instead, I’ll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome.
【小题1】The underlined word “Hallmark” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to a              .

A.cityB.streetC.storeD.man
【小题2】We can infer that in the opinion of the writer’s father                           .

A.The writer now has a boyfriend.
B.The writer now is afraid of Valentine’s Day.

It has taken 90 years since she was born in a poor house in County Limerick for a woman considered America’s oldest illegal immigrant to get her Irish passport.It will be a few more months before Josephine Stout will finally be declared a US citizen, entitling(赋于…权力) her to a pension and other benefits.

         Despite having lived in America for most of her life since she arrived in 1923, the great-grandmother was declared an undocumented alien(华侨)in 1999, when she tried to claim state aid to help raise her seven grandchildren, who were left orphaned when her daughter was killed by a robber over$20.

         Even though she has never considered herself Irish, noting “I don’t even have an accent,” she didn’t officially exist as an American when officials in Chicago insisted that she prove her citizenship in order to qualify for benefits. But she had no birth certificate or passport when she arrived on an immigrant ship from Ireland from Ireland with her parents, who had 12 other children.

         She never gave the matter much thought until 1999, when she was in her late 70s and needed assistance to raise her grandchildren. For 12 years, Mrs. Stout managed to support the family by doing various jobs. But her life was hard and marked by tragedy. Her husband died in 1996, and her son Thomas died in a car accident with his girlfriend in 1985. Her only surviving child, Rosemary, died of cancer in 2009.

        A Catholic charity referred her case to Chicago Irish Immigrant Support(CIIS), which alerted the Irish Consulate(领事馆). Through them, they tracked down her birth certificate, the website irishcentral.com reported. The document, in turn, allowed her to receive her Irish passport, and eventually her American green card in September 2011, which was dated back to November 1, 1923.

1.What will happen to a person if he has no green card in the US?

A. he cannot get any chance to get education

B. he can’t have a pension and other benefits

C. his citizenship will be taken away

D. he has to take illegal part-time job

2.Josephine couldn’t be a legal immigrant because ______.

A. she was named an undocumented alien

B. she arrived in American in a secret way

C. She couldn’t find her proper certificates

D. She has too many brothers and sisters

3.We can imply from the 4th paragraph that ______.

A. Josephine lived a lonely life for many years

B. Thomas was always driving carelessly

C. Josephine was a strong-willed woman

D. Mrs. Stout, Josephine’s friend, helped her a lot.

4.Please arrange the following events in the correct order according to the text.

a. Josephine’s birth certificate was found.

b. Josephine received her green card.

c. The Catholic charity contacted CIIS.

d. The birth certificate was shown on a website.

e. Josephine was offered her Irish passport.

A. a-b-c-d-e      B. c-d-e-a-b      C. a-d-c-b-e       D. c-a-d-e-b

Goldie's Secret

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.

I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

1.How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?

A.Shocked.

B.Sympathetic.

C.Annoyed.

D.Upset.

2.In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie ______.

A.felt worried

B.was angry

C.ate a little

D.sat by the fire

3.Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ______.

A.saw her puppies

B.heard familiar barking

C.wanted to leave the author

D.found her way to her old home

4. The passage is organized in order of ______.

A.time

B.effectiveness

C.importance

D.complexity
