These days the subject of safety on campus is talked about quite often. Some students’ mobile photos are stolen, some students fight with and hurt one another, and others are knocked down by the fast running motorbikes or cars.
These problems are common on campus. I think there are three causes for these. Firstly, some students don’t take care of their own things. They are still young and not careful enough. Secondly, some students want to do everything well. They want to be the winners in exams, and they also want to be the winners in fighting. And thirdly, the campus guards don’t carry on their duties well..
In order to have a safe campus, all the students should be very careful about their own things. They should also mind their behaviors and act politely. The campus guards are supposed to be devoted（致力于）to the safety on campus, and it is their duty to safeguard a safe campus to help provide a good environment for the students.According to the passage, some students’ _________ are lost.

Most people are writing blogs (博客). Others are reading them. The word “ blog” is a short way of saying Web log almost like QQ Zone (空间).
Many popular Web sites now offer free, easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures. Blogs offer people a place to show their writings and feelings over the Internet. They can also be helpful to connect people with others.
A blog has both good and bad points, of course. People choose to write what they think in blogs, for they know that their friends will read what they write. If you are feeling sad one day and write your feelings in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort you or offer their help. Blogs help people keep good friendship and let them know what their friends are doing. But the problem is that anyone can read what you write in your blog. If you are not satisfied with a friend during school, and you write something bad about him in your blog, your friend read the blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.
