Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 16 problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very 17 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in 18 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 19 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 20 that she does not want to 21
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 22 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 23 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 24 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 25 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 26 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 27 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 28 about her in my diary, she would never know! 29, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 30 read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also 31 to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.” 32 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 33 respond（回应）and tell her how much they _34 her. Blogs help people 35 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
16. A. the same B. troublesome C. difficult D. daily
17. A. familiar B. special C. similar D. different
18. A. a personal B. an ordinary C. a common D. a traditional
19. A. attractive B. public C. convenient D. quick

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional（过渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble（短须）on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 .

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 41 seat. It was one of those 42 young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 43 at the front, not so unusual these days. What did 44 me was he’d started to eat my chocolate!

II. 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）
A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s 26 problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 27 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 28 there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 29 side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope 30 they went up. They would have been 31 without her, but not once did they try to sneak （溜掉）by her without helping. And when the sled 32 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 33 them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 34 among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 35 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 36 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 37 on the sideline(作为旁观者) and know that they will befriend（照顾）them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame 38 much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything, 39 the adults who have taught themselves.
Most adults have been 41 at some time or another, sadly, many 42 that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 43 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 44 of bumps(撞伤) and bruises(擦伤), but we can all make it to the 45 if we remember to help those who need it.
