Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 　 11　 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 　　12　 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in a(an) 　 13　 diary?

The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 　14　 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 　15 that she does not want to 　16　 .

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 　17 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 　18　 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 　 19 that my sister might read it!

　 The biggest 　 20 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 　 21　 about her in my diary, she would never know. 　22　 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend

might read her blog and get angry.

There are also 　　23 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 　24　 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly respond and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people stay in 　 25　 with her friends and to hear what the people around them are doing.

11. A. the same　　 　　 B. troublesome　　 　　 C. difficult　 　 D. daily

 71  Because, from what I could see, it seemed that grown-ups often forgot. I never wanted to forget --- I wanted to be able to remind other adults and myself when the time came. I began consciously(有意识地) thinking this at quite an early age.
As soon as I was fully aware (意识到) of myself, I regarded me as a little person and liked adults who thought of and treated me the same way. I didn’t have a doll and I didn’t want one. I wanted animal toys, even a single animal. Why wouldn’t my parents give me the one thing I wanted?  72  
Instead, my dad somehow managed to buy me a full set of encyclopedia(百科全书) and books with maps and color pictures long before I could read. Well, guess what? I learned to read without realizing it! Later, I found out when I started school and it all came so easy especially geography.  73  Because of all the books my father bought me, I knew a lot of words that other children didn’t know at my age.
I love words. They opened up new worlds for me.  74  Parents, please make sure your kids have a computer. Let them explore　— as safely as possible— let them do their own things and discover the world.
Now, most kids lead a happy life. They can get what they want from their parents. But children should learn to be independent.  75  Be independent to do your own things.

A．Because of them, I read and thought, and today, I write.

C．I listened and heard everything, even if I didn’t understand everything.

D．I nearly knew every place on the map like the teacher.

E. But more than anything, it made me feel uncomfortable and I knew it wasn’t nice.
