If a teenager had some problems in her life years ago, she might go home and write them in her diary. Now, a teenager with the problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very . So, what makes blogging different from writing in a diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more than a diary. Usually a teenager treats her diary like a book full of that she doesn’t want to .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog a diary will probably write nearly the same information. Both diaries and blogs tell details about what happened to the that day.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not enough for her chemistry test. When I was her , I wrote about the same things, but in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was that my sister might read it!
Because blogging is such a public way of writing, it has both good and bad points. The biggest with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something about her in my diary, she would know. , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend read her blog and got angry.
Because we do not always things carefully before we write about our days, it is to accidentally write something that hurts someone’s feelings in a blog.

As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange 36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 37 me so much. There was never total 38 , but a streetlight or passing car lights 39 clothes hung over a chair take on the 40 of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 41 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no 42 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My 43 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 44 very still so that the "enemy" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 45 on the way home from school. Every morning I get on the school bus right near my home--that was no 46 . After school, 47 , when all the buses were 48 up along the street, I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one, and be taken to some 49 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or museum, I wouldn't 50 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears 51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or 52 by others. Being popular was so important to me 53 , and the fear of not being liked was a 54 one.
One of the processes of growing up is being able to 55 and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

In my dual (双重的) profession __36__ an educator and health care provider，I have worked with many children infected with HIV. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great __37__ can be found in the smallest individuals. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was __38__ infected with HIV；his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medications to __39__ him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube inserted in a vein(静脉) in his chest. At times, he also needed extra oxygen to support his __40__.
Tyler wasn't __41__ to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not __42__ to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicineloaded backpack and __43__ his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon (小手推车). All of us who knew Tyler were impressed by his pure __44__ in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often __45__ him by telling him that he moved so __46__ she needed to dress him in red. That way，when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly __47__ him.
This deadly disease eventually __48__ down Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, __49__ did his HIVinfected mother. When it became __50__ that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about __51__. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death，Tyler __52__ to me to come to his hospital bed and __53__，“I might die soon. I'm not __54__. When I die，please dress me in __55__ . Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too.I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”

Recent studies show that only one out of three people have strong and healthy self-confidence. That 36 two out of every three people simply don’t know the 37 they already have to be successful when it’s 38 there in their hands! 39 if you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first. Remember: “No one can make you feel inferior (差的) unless you 40 them.” A successful businessman says, “You can’t push anyone up a ladder 41 he knows he can climb himself.”
Many of us have an image 42 , the image（形象）we have of ourselves. 43 one guy put it: “You can’t win a horse race if you think you look 44 on a horse.” To succeed, the first person you have to 45 is yourself! So stop believing your own lies about yourself. Just 46 your mind and you’ll change your life.
One of the most harmful weapons that can kill your success in life is the two little words:“47 ”. You know that people used to 48 that if human beings traveled faster than 30 miles an hour it would 49 our circulation（循环）of blood and kill us? Thank goodness a few people didn’t believe that 50 thinking, or we wouldn’t be riding in cars, buses, and flying in airplanes today. You’ll never know until you 51 .
Roger Bannister was the first human being to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. But 52 he did it, most people in the world didn’t think it was even 53 Yet only weeks after Bannister did it, suddenly 54 all over the world began running a mile in less than 4 minutes! If we believe something can be done, we’ll 55 do it.
