2 . People have lots of different thoughts that they wish to express. For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others.   Another form of self-expression is the written word. For many people, it is easier for them to express their thoughts or emotions in writing, instead of speaking them out. It is an especially popular way for expression among shy and highly self-conscious (自尊) people. People′s thoughts are written down and then published(出版) so that others can read and enjoy them.
There are many reasons why newspapers and publishers actually publish people′s thoughts, but the major reason is to give information. With the introduction of newer technologies, new ways now appear to share people′s ideas quickly. Blogs are just one way.

The word blog comes from the words web and log. Slogging is the term that is used to refer to activities relating to a blog, such as creating it, updating and adding content(内容).

5 . This passage is about RealCine.
The technology behind RealCine is virtual reality (VR). Unlike ordinary cinema, RealCine excites all five of our senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and even taste. RealCine works by making the viewers feel that they are actually in the film. To achieve this, special VR headsets（耳机）are made to help the viewers see a world of 3D and hear the sounds clearly all around them. Special gloves are also worn so that people and objects in the film can be touched. Both the headsets and the gloves are connected to the RealCine computer system. To add to the virtual（虚拟的）world of RealCine, smells are given out through small openings in the headsets. Special food and drinks are delivered into the viewer’s mouth via a sensor.
In scientific studies it has been shown that VR can provide teenagers with another way to experience the world. For example, in one experiment, a teenager whose dream was to be a world–famous football star experienced a VR film where he played the role of the captain of the Brazilian football team.
Besides films, VR might also have some other uses. For example, firefighters could be trained using RealCine to avoid the risk（冒险）of entering a burning building themselves. It could be used in the classrooms too. Teachers could bring history alive by placing students in a famous battle（战役）or they could teach biology by allowing students to be a whale or an ant for a lesson.
1. Is the technology behind RealCine called VR?
_____________________________________________________________
2. What do viewers wear so they feel they are actually in the film?
