　　It's cool, it's hot, and everyone is doing it．People talk about it often，and friends tell other friends how good they look．Sound like a fashion? It's actually trend(倾向)： “blog”．What's a blog? A blog is a personal online diary．The word “blogger” means a person who writes diaries online．

　　Many bloggers are teens who’ve been logging(进入)onto sites to talk about anything in their lives．Many of today's teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives．Teens complain about parents and homework．They share diaries, post songs from the latest bands and show pictures of theirs．They write their own poems(诗), say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support．But mostly they just write down what they do every day．

　　However, many parents are afraid of these young bloggers．Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk(喝醉的)last weekend and how they don't like studying．They are using language that is surprising to their parents．Besides hearing from their friends, teen bloggers also get messages from strangers．Most of the time, it's older men asking to meet teenage girls．“These strange men are dangerous for my kids．They sometimes teach my kids bad words, ” said Cara Cabral, a mother of two．

　　Many teens and young adults know it's not safe to use blogs on the Internet．They know they are putting information about themselves in a place they can be seen by anyone．But teens are unlikely to give up these new communication tools that have become a way of life for many of them．

　　Are you a blogger? What do you think of the blog?

　　Most people graduate from school and then get a job．Everyone wants a job that pays well．How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions： What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself： How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power．

　　In the United States, high school graduates(毕业生)make about ＄18, 600 a year．If you do not finish high school, you make only ＄10, 800 a year．You can make ＄7, 800 more each year by staying in high school!

　　If you stay in school, then you can make more money．A person with a high school degree makes about ＄18, 600 a year．If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor's degree(学士学位), he can make ＄42, 000．With a master's degree(硕士学位), he can make about ＄53, 000．If the person gets a PhD(博士学位), he can make almost ＄79, 000 or more a year．

　　We can learn a very important thing from this information．If you want to work and make more money, get a

　　When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点)．Sometimes she said I was thin．Sometimes she said I was lazy．Sometimes she said I wasn't a good student．Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on．I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could．At last, I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．

　　He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．”

　　I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true．

　　I brought the list back to my dad．He refused to take it．“That's just for you,” he said．“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be helpful to you．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right．”

　　Many years have passed．The situation often appears in my mind．In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice．For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!

　　Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults．But that's not true．There are many interesting stories in the paper．You just need to make clear what you are looking at．“I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing．“I'm interested in things happening at school．” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers．There's also world news：from international problems to pop stars．

　　Read the newspaper carefully, we'll find different types of articles on the pages：

　　News stories － these stories are about events．Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened．Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible．They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true．The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page．When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers' ideas．

　　Opinion writing － opinion writing is usually about something happening right now．But it isn't just facts．Here writers add their own opinions to the news．Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas．They make readers believe that they are telling the truth．This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking．Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers．

　　Advertisement － Don't get happy too early when you read them．Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!

　　Santi's big brother Len had told him never to push all the remote control buttons at the same time．He said that something terrible would happen if he did．Santi didn't really believe this．While Len was out of the room, Santi jumped down on the sofa with the remote control in his hand．For a while, he changed from channel to channel, looking for something interesting to watch．Bored, Santi decided to see what Len could have meant．

　　With a quick glance(扫视) over his shoulder to make sure Len hadn't come back，he pushed all the buttons at once．Santi saw a bright flash，and he dropped the remote control．"I've broken it，"he thought．"Now I'm in trouble！" As he looked around for the remote control，he realized he was in more trouble than he'd thought．He was suddenly only the size of a mouse．

　　"Oh，no！"Santi shouted．He had to find his parents quickly．Carefully, he climbed down the side of the huge sofa and hurried across the floor．In the kitchen, Santi could see that the sliding door(滑门) had been left open．“If the door is open, then the cat might be in here,” tiny Santi said．

　　Just then, Santi and the cat saw each other．Santi ran for the door, the cat closing in quickly behind him．Just as the cat reached out to attack Santi, it slipped(打滑) on some water and slid across the kitchen floor．Out of breath, Santi hid behind a flowerpot in the corridor．He could see his mum far away in the garden．“How will I ever get there?” he wondered．As he looked out from behind the flowerpot, there was the huge cat looking right at him! Santi rushed for the garden and then…, he woke up．“It was only a dream!” he said with a relieved smile．“Thank goodness!”

　　Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”？

　　Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students．People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow'', “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net．They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”．

　　Joyce interviewed some young people．Here are their opinions．

　　Harold：I don't quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game, Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world．

　　Allan：I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends' gardens and we've become closer because of the game．Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it．

　　Laura：You know, people in the city are longing for(渴望) the life in the countryside．It reduces my work pressure(压力)；besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”．

　　Ivy：Well．it's just a waste of time．Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not focus on (专注于)their study．

　　It's not easy to be an astronaut's (宇航员) son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect(完美的)．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．
