saying“web log”,or“personal website”.Anyone can start a blog,and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today.They provide news,information and ideas to the people who read them.They contain links to other websites.And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 web logs.It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls.They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives.The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However,some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas.For example,the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs.And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time,some long-standing blogs have ended.Last week,blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service“”.He said the site became too costly to continue.He started the blog four years ago,and thousands of people had written on it.They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closed.One blog that is still going strong is called Rebeccas Pocket.Rebecca Blood created the website in 1999.She wrote about the history of blogs on the site.That article led to a book called The Weblog Handbook.It has been translated into 6 four languages so far.Miss Blood says Rebeccas Pocket gets about thirty thousand visitors a month.She writes about anything and everything politics,culture and movies.She recently provided medical advice.And she wrote about how to prevent being stolen from online bank accounts.56.The text is mainly

longer write or read blogs.B.Politicians dont use blogs at all.C.Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls.D.Dave Winer closed hi s“”because of the money shortage.59.The reason why Rebeccas

B The old camera Brownie picked up in a charity shop was a splendid find.But the undeveloped film still inside turned out to be even more of a treasure.New owner Don Roccoforte had it developed and saw in it an attractive dark haired woman in her thirties with two young boys.He immediately determined to try to find out who they were.A few weeks later the California-based camera collector received the news that left him stunned.The woman was his wife Jaqueline s aunt in a picture taken around 50 years ago,and one of the boys,her cousin.The couple have now unraveled（揭开）the astonishing coincidence,which leads back to Mrs.Roccofortes native Lancashire,where many of her family still live.The camera was bought from a shop in Preston by Brownie,a friend of Mr.Roccoforte,who knew of his interest in photography and thought it would be an unusual gift.Back in California,the contents of his new possession inspired Mr.Roccofortes curiosity.Recognizing the water in the background of the photo as a lake in Lancashire;he sent a copy to the local paper in Preston to see if any readers could help.Another relative recognized the group as Winnie Bamber,still living in the area at the age of 81,her son Tony,Mrs.Roccofortes cousin,and Tonys childhood friend,Mick Murphy.7 Yesterday Mrs.Bamber was still gasping（惊讶地吸气）at the turn of events which has reunited two strands（分支）of her family.She said she remembered taking the boys to the lake and losing the camera.The two boys,both now 58,still live near Preston.Mrs.Roccofortes father is Winnie Bambers brother,Billy Charnley.He and his wife moved to America in the 1960s.Their daughter met Mr.Roccoforte there and they married and moved to Preston for two years before returning to America.60.Which of the following is the right order of what happened?a.Don Roccoforte received a special present from his friend.b.Another relative recognized Winnie Bamber and the two boys.c.Winnie Bamber,together with two boys,went to take

that Waited 50 Years to Be Developed B.An Unusual Reunion after about Half a Century C.A Special Present to a Special Friend D.An Old Camera and the Beautiful Pictures Inside C Everybody likes a

make it.Dont let that fool you.Ask the winner of any race how good a man Mister Two is.He will tell you it was Mister Two who made him run so fast.Mister Two is always threatening to catch up and pass him.Ask the salesman who won the contest and what kept him looking for extra order.Ask the directors of the big company why they keep changing their product,seeking the new equipment,the added advantage.What drives them?What keeps them going?Its the salesman with nearly as many orders.It is the 8 company with the product almost as good.Its Mister Two.In this country,were proud of the quality of our champions.Our big men come very big.Our fast men run very fast.Our wise men are the wisest and our greatest men are the greatest that a country could hope to be blessed with.And why is that?It is Mister Two that makes the race always open and everybody can run.So this is for you,Mister Two.This is your song.This is for all the days you tried for first,and came in second.Its for the nights when you wonder if you ought to go on trying,since nobody seems to notice.We notice Mister Two.We know the score.Winner or not,youre a natural champion.There couldnt be a race without
