The blog is one form of communication that increased in popularity. Through these personal websites(网址), people can share their lives, ideas and opinions on the Internet. People of all ages have their own blogs. For young people, they are a way to show their writing and other forms of self-expression. Blogs also connect people with other people who have the same interests. For example, teachers use blogs to share ideas with other teachers’, as well as experiences and concerns about their work.
YouTube is another Internet site that became more popular last year. This website lets anyone create, share and watch short videos. These include videos of people singing or dancing, or animals doing funny things. Three young men created YouTube almost two years ago as a personal video sharing service. They recently sold it to Google for more than one and a half billion dollars.
Games and entertainment also became a larger part of the Internet last year. One Internet social site is called Second Life.

Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.

The Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published
(发行) to mark (标志) the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932
in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, Publishing stamps during the White Olympics
became a rule. (规定)
During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936.
The five rings of the Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the rings
appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.
In the 1950s, stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host
countries (东道国) as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also
published four stamps in February 1980,when Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics.
Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 145 million stamps were
sold to raise (筹集) money for this sports meet.
Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful
movements of some sportsmen.

D. are held in summer

"My family has been watching the "Super Girl" singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked
me what "PK" means, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know that
item.
In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life
of the other.
In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers
have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students" composition
using Internet jargon (行话) difficult to understand.
A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write up compositions with colloquial (口语的)
language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon that she didn"t understand.
" My "GG" came back this summer from college. He told me I"ve grown up to be a "PLMM": I love to "FB"
with him together; he always took me to the "KPM", went one composition."
"GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother ). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful sister ).
"FB" means "to corrupt". "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.
While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried
that too much use of such language might lead students away from the "right" usages. Parents especially
worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language.
Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract
Internet users for making convenient communications.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog,
referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
B. suggest normalizing Internet language
C. draw our attention to Internet language use
D. support teachers and parents.
B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players must know it.
D. "Super Girl" shouldn"t have used it.
B. often have good food or do something expensive
C. encourage someone to behave in a dishonest way
D. often have some sports to become strong
B. contains many interesting expressions
C. is hard to understand by the elders
D. causes trouble to our mother tongue
