It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on* to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.

　　Since last year, the trend* of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update* their blogs over five times per day.

　　"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."

　　It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study all the time, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."

　　But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.

　　Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.

　　---Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.

　　---Never micro blog in class.

　　---Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.

　　---Be critical*. Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.

    Do you know Beckham, a football star? Recently my ears are full of fine words from my friends around me, such as, "Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can't help loving him!" or "What perfect skills he has!" Yeah, I  16   with them to some degree, though I sometimes do want to ___17   them how much they know about Beckham, besides (除了) his   18   and how much they know about football. It seems funny that we are   19   for those things. In fact, we don't know the things well or we are not   20   about them. But we all. My friends as well as I, consider this one of life's   21   .

     We need these pleasures to make our lives brighter. But that isn't equal to craziness or rubbish. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge (评判) a book by its cover." We should not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know that it is one's good qualities and great    22   that make one a star and well-known. Therefore, we'd better say   23   about Beckham's good looks.

     If we close our eyes, falling in deep thought, and   24   it over, we can find the things that cause us to be really happy or sad have a   25   picture. From the picture, we find that the things are different. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with the   26   of the things, sooner or later we will find we have not really  27   anything because the pleasant outside of the things has misled (误导) us, and we'll keep doing something silly  28   we realize the facts and make some changes.

     I believe that thinking it over and going deeper is a   29   of great progress (进步). It one day we are   30  to go deeper into everything, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, mad prove how wise and mature (成熟的) we have become.
