         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.
    1. A blog is            .
    A. a comment

    editor,
         You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a
    popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in
    the following places:
         1. Chinese characters are written in the complex (复杂的 ) form. Although simplified Chinese
    characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese
    characters written in the complex form.
         2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no
    meaning at all.
         3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. "Ba"(霸), which means bully in Chinese,
    is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with "Ba" in their names.
         4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and
    incorrect grammatical structures. "Ai ni mei shang liang', which means "I love you without consulting", is
    grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
         Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an idea
    shared by myself and many others.

         Now, we know that if we do not get enough vitamins, we are at risk of developing a number of
    diseases. As a result, vitamin supplements (补品), though expensive, are popular with people who
    worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many
    people think, medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve
    health or protect against disease.
         In fact, medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example,
    too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their
    doctors, as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.
         Experts, however, do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent disease. People who know they
    lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example, may not have
    enough vitamin B-twelve. This is because, as people get older, their body loses its ability to take it from
    foods. Also, people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this
    vitamin from sunlight.
         Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil. It also is in the
    yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain
    substances that the body can change into vitamin A. Vitamin B-twelve is found in green leafy vegetables
    and other foods, like fruits. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.
         In fact, for most people, a balanced diet can ensure enough of the vitamins our bodies need. So, it is
    important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins our bodies
    need.
    1. What is probably talked about before this passage?
    A. How many vitamins a person's body needs.  
    B. How many vitamins some foods contain.
    C. The benefits that vitamins bring to our health.
    D. What people should do to stay healthy.
    2. Vitamin supplements are popular with people because ________.  
    A. people mistakenly think that they are good for their health
    B. they contain more vitamins than the foods people eat
    C. food does not provide enough vitamins people need
    D. people fear that a lack of vitamins will lead to disease
    3. From the passage, we can learn that medical experts advise people _________.
    A. never to take any vitamin supplements  
    B. to depend only on food for their vitamins
    C. not to take any vitamins together with medicines
    D. to consult doctors before taking vitamin supplements
    4. For people who lack Vitamin B-twelve, they can eat more from _______.
    A. sweet potatoes  
    B. green leafy vegetables  
    C. pork products

         The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. Your talkative seatmate doesn't

    seatmate(s) . Share the armrest , especially on a long flight . Also, be careful not to kick or push on the
    seat in front of you.
    While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people may want to nap ,read or work.  3  
    If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low,   4   People can still hear
    through your headphones if the volume is too high.
    When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage . help them if you can. If

         When I was in high school, most of my friend had bicycles. I hoped I could also have it. One day I
    saw a second-hand bicycle, that was only one hundred yuan. I ask my father the money. But he said he
    could only give me half of the money. He should find the other half myself. So I went to sell newspaper
    s after the school. My father was pleased if I showed him the money a month late. He gives me the other
    fifty. You can imagine how much happy I was when I rode to school on my own bicycle.
