It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒體） bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
小題1: From the passage we know that________.

試題分析：這篇短文給我們講述的是現(xiàn)在很多人都喜歡在網(wǎng)上寫博客，動東西方人寫的博客的內(nèi)容是不一樣的。作者還將現(xiàn)在的博主進行了分類，即信息技術(shù)博主、媒體博主和普通博主。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers可知，在美國，博客是給人們提供一些新聞信息來吸引人們的注意力。故C選項是正確的。根據(jù)短文第一句話我們可知，在中國56%的人寫博客是把它當做私人的日記，故A不對；C和D的表達都不符合文意。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web.可知，當博客剛剛開始的時候，學信息技術(shù)的人題目有技術(shù)上的優(yōu)勢，因此他們把握住了機會，把他們的想法寫在了網(wǎng)站上，他們的讀者也很多。故選A。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number可知A是正確的；根據(jù)短文可知除了博主，還有IT bloggers和normal bloggers，故B不對；C選項不符合文意；根據(jù)Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words. 可知D不對。故選A。
小題4:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)它所在的句子When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers.可知，這里說的是當很多媒體博主出現(xiàn)的時候，普通的博主失去了大多數(shù)的讀者。show up的意思是出現(xiàn)。故選B。

Free plastic bags are not allowed at shops and supermarkets in China, and people have to pay for them. The rule started on June 1, 2009. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin (超薄) plastic bags has not allowed.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment.

A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, because the host assumes that the visitor must have come from a very long journey and need water. If there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because Akuapem people think the left hand is not clean.
Next, the visitor is asked how his journey was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and the children, especially girls, are preparing food for the visitor. The visitor can choose his favorite food. After the visitor finishes eating, the host and the visitor go on with their conversation.
