her diary. Now, a teenager with ___1__ problems might go onto the Internet and write
about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very __2__. So, what
makes blogging different from writing in__3__diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more __4__than a diary. Usually, a teenager
treats his diary like a book full of__5__that she does not want to __6__.
It"s interesting that someone who writes in a blog__7__a diary will probably write nearly
the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her__8__. She writes about things
like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.
__9__I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but__10__in my diary. Then, after I had
finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was__11__that my sister
might read it!
The biggest__12__with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry
with a friend during high school and wrote something__13__about her in my diary, she would
never know!__14__, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend__15__
read her blog and get a "cry".
There are also__16__to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary:
"Nobody cares about me."__17__would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same
sentence in her blog, her best friends would__18__respond and tell her how much they__19__
her. Blogs help people__20__in touch with their friends and know what the people around
them are doing.

I will be traveling to Australia as a Student Ambassador with People to People. People
to People arranges for American students to travel all around the world to learn about other
cultures, and to help others understand American culture. The program was founded by
former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding.
I had to put in many hours of special work to get to this point. First, a teacher nominated
(推荐) me, and then I attended an informational meeting about the program. The application
process included an interview, and finally, I was accepted.
That"s when the hard work really began. In addition to attending monthly meetings to
prepare for the big trip, my parents encouraged my twin sister Beth (also participating in
the program) and me to raise $ 2,000 each to help pay for the cost. And so the fund-raising
began. We did everything from selling candy bars to selling an old car to decorating people"s
mailboxes during the holiday season. We also babysat, washed cars, held a yard sale, and
washed windows. After months of hard work I had raised a total of $2319.87! Combined,
Beth and I raised over $ 4500.00!
Now I have a problem-packing. Yes, I know it sounds unimportant, but my suitcase
seems to have shrunk (收缩) as I placed my belongings inside. According to airline
regulations (规定), a suitcase can be no larger than 54 inches and weigh no more than 44
pounds. For a person who likes to wear a different outfit every day, packing all my clothes
into such a small space seemed an impossible task. Howev
er, I have lessened my load and
my suitcase which started out weighting overweight now checks in at a mere 36. Apart from
a slightly bloated (臃肿) carry-on bag, my luggage is definitely manageable.
I doubt that I will not get much sleep tonight because I am so excited! I know that what
lies ahead is going to be the trip of lifetime!

Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if
countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:
that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.
There is probably some truth in both arguments,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done
little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only were there the
incidents of tragedy involving murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents
caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There
had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,with the losers objecting to the final decisions.
They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents"
victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said,"This isn"t hockey.Hockey and the
International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such
behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a
disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disorder.It was thought at first that the United
States had won by a point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian
player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the
basket.It was the first time that the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury
(评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would
stand.The Americ
an players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love
of the game.The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams might
be too much to hope for.But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages
aggressive patriotism (爱国主义)．

looking at their watches. It isn"t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven"t got a television.
People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evening?", they are always asking. The
answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at
the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painti
ng and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I"m always busy
with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.
Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we
just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost—no
television! —So they don"t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full—they all come to
us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and
plays games.

friends is grounded in mutual (相互的) care as our friends help us in shaping our personalities as well.
Even in this age of online social networking and e-cards, the need of keeping the network of friends,
whether online or offline remains a primary concern for people. We may not completely understand
what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us.
The first step to make friends with someone is to make them like you. If they don"t like you in the first
place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are
specially interested in them, simple gestures like a little smile and calling them by their names can lay the
basic foundation. To make the other person feel important to you, you need to be a good listener and
encourage the other person to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not directly criticize or
make fun of him or her.
The second step of making someone your frien
d is to develop a mutual understanding. You need to share his or her experiences and it is necessary for you to develop a habit to see things from the other
person"s point of view.
The third or final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement
towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend.
If what you expect from the person you want to make friends with matches with what that person can
give, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be successful.
