Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now he might get on the Internet and write them in his blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. Then, what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary. Anyone can read what you write in your blog. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as a secret. If you are not satisfied with a friend and write something bad about him in your diary, he will never know it. However, if you do this on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.
A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs. They know that their friends will read what they write. If you feel sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort you and offer their help. Blogs help people know what their friends are doing.
Though it's a good way to write blogs about everyday life, I still prefer my old diary.
16. Now when a teenager has some problems in his life, he might________．

A．talk to his friends	B．keep them in his diary
C．write them in his blog	D．keep them in secret

17. ________ is NOT mentioned in the passage.

A．Chatting on QQ	B．Getting on the Internet
C．Writing blogs	D．The difference between a diary and a blog

18. The underlined word “comfort” means “________” in Chinese.

A．责怪

B．安慰

C．嘲笑

D．贬低

19. From the passage we know that ________．

A．the writer thinks a blog is more helpful than a diary

B．the writer thinks a blog and a diary are the same

C．the writer likes a diary better than a blog

D．the writer likes a blog better than a diary

20. The passage mainly talks about________．

A．the teenagers' problems in their lives

B．the difference between a diary and a blog

C．the good points of writing blogs

D．the good points of writing diaries

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their child to love science too. But what if (要是……又怎样) their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repair?
Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.
26. ________ might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience, according to the passage.

A．A parent

C．Either a teacher or a parent

D．Neither a teacher nor a parent

27. Parents may hope that their children have the same ________ as their own, according to the passage.

Some of the teenagers in China think that it's not easy being their age, because they have     36    (困难) getting on with their family. The     37    (关系) with their parents become difficult and there is less     38    (交流) with them. They feel     39    (孤独的) and
    40    (紧张的) at home.
The scientists say it's     41    (正常的) for the teenagers to have these     42    (感受). They suggest that teenagers should     43    (主动提出) to help around the house as often as possible and have more time for     44    (恰当的) communication with their parents.

Students these days often have a lot of     46    (worry). Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.     47     can they do with them？Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “In life, there are always problems and worries，” says Laura. “But I think     48    (communicate) with someone helps a lot. If we don't talk to anyone, I'm sure we'll feel worse.” Sally once lost her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents     49     it. She even walked several miles to school each day     50     she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking, “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry！” But at last she talked to her parents and they were     51    (real) understanding. Her dad said he himself sometimes made mistakes, too. They bought her a new wallet and asked her     52    (be) more careful. Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way     53     Sally. “We should always try to do something with     54    (problem)．” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert like him. Students often forget that their parents are always there to help them. In English, we say that talking about a problem with parents or friends is like     55    (cut) it in half. So next time you meet a problem, do like that. I hope you can get on well with everyone and everything.
