Did you know that a new weblog is being created each second? Many of these bloggers are teenagers. While their parents wrote in a diary to express their emotions, or shared their interests by spending time with friends, teens are now using blogs instead. In fact, in the US, one in every five school-aged teens has a blog. Most of these are just chatter, some are funny or clever, but a few have become Internet success.
For example, Chloe Spencer’s blog ‘Neopets Fanatic’ gets around 300,000 hits per month. When Chloe was 15, she started the blog out of her strong liking for Neopets, a kind of pet website. One reason her blog has so many visitors is because she gives instructions and tips for the popular pet site.

Then there is Tavi Gevinson’s blog ‘Style Rookie’. It is said to get 1.5 million hits per month. Tavi, who started her blog when she was just 12, puts up her photos of her own clothes online as well as designers’ collections. Tavi’s blog has caught on because she knows a lot about style for someone so young, and she is not afraid to try out unusual clothes or see things in a different way.
Blogs like these are interesting, but they only become really popular after better-known websites link to them or they get noticed by the media(传媒). For example, Tavi’s blog became an overnight(一夜之间) success after being written about in The New York Times. Popular blogs can even earn money, usually from advertisements that companies pay to put up on the bloggers’ sites.
So for some, blogging is just a recreation(消遣), but for others, it can become a source of income and even a full-time job!

解析

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是现在很多青少年都写博客,一些人的博客还非常的受欢迎,有很高的点击率,文章中给出了两个例子。这些博客之所以成功是有原因的,不仅有网站的链接和媒体的关注,更有巨大的商业利益。
小题1:推理判断题。这篇文章告诉我们很多青少年都有微博,他们经常在微博上讨论一些有趣的事情,或是抒发自己的情感。所以现在的年轻人要比他们的父母有更多的交流方式。故选A。B选项意为青少年比他们的父母分享更多的感情,这不是文章的主要内容;C选项意为现在的青少年比他们的父母更经常写日记,这个表述不符合文意;D选项意为青少年交的朋友更多,这也不是文章的主要内容。
小题2:词意猜测题。这个单词在文章的第一段最后一句话Most of these are just chatter, some are funny or clever, but a few have become Internet success.,因为句中已出现了funny和clever两词,故这里我们可以排除A、B;C选项意为严肃的,认真的;D选项意为不重要的。因为这句话告诉我们大部分的人都只是聊天,还有一些是有趣的,聪明的,很少能在网上成功的。故这里应该是说在微博上他们讨论的话题是不重要的。故选D。
小题3:推理判断题。根据文章的第二段和第三段我们可知,这两个人都是比较成功的青少年博主,Chloe Spencer是一个宠物爱好者,而Tavi Gevinson热爱时尚。故选B。
小题4:细节理解题。根据文章的第二段When Chloe was 15, she started the blog out of her strong liking for Neopets, a kind of pet website可知,Chloe非常喜欢这个宠物网站Neopets,故她是一个宠物爱好者。故选B。
小题5:细节理解题。根据文章的最后一段内容可知,Tavi’s blog became an overnight(一夜之间) success Tavi的博客一夜之间出名了,故C是正确的。根据文章第三段的第一句话可知Tavi Gevinson的博客每个月有150万的点击率,可见她的博客是非常出名的,故排除A;B、D两项在文中没有提到。故选C。
小题6:主旨大意题。这篇短文主要给我们讲述的是现在很多青少年都有博客,并且还有一些人的博客很有名,这些人的成功是因为有网站的链接,或者有传媒的注意。这些受欢迎的博客还能通过博主网页上的广告来赚钱。故选D。

举一反三
Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show happiness, as in the expression “a red-letter day”. This is a day when something special happens. The expression is probably based on church customs. For almost 600 years, church calendars have been marked with red to show special holy(神圣的)days. Today’s calendars are still marked that way with the dates of holidays and special days printed in red.
The expression “a red-letter day”is often heard in daily life. “A red-letter day” is a day that people are especially happy. It may be a day that you have waited for a long time, a wedding day, for example. Or it may be a day with a happy surprise. You might tell a friend that yesterday was a red-letter day, because you won some money in the lottery.
“Rolling out the red carpet” is another commonly heard expression. It describes an especially warm welcome of any kind. A city may “roll out the carpet ”for its baseball team, when the team arrives home after winning a championship. A group of supporters go to the air port to the greet the team. The red-carpet welcome includes a lot of cheering by thousands of fans, a parade, music and speech of praise by local statesmen.
Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. “Red-handed ” is an example. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. The evidence is clear. You are guilty. Today we use the expression “ to be caught red-handed ”in situation(情况)that are not serious. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, taking cookies out of the cookie jar.

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which do you think is the best?
I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care.
Robin, aged 16, Birmingham
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying,  "If you give a man a fish, you"ll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you"ll feed him for a lifetime." We need to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.
Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster(灾难)like the earthquake. It"s good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary(工资)to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference.
Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon
Giving money to charity can help, but it"s not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government.
Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle
The best thing we can do is to send experts(专家)like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.
Robert, aged 16, Cardiff
