Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.

Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.

Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.

“Have you ever found a treasure?” I once asked my father. He smiled a big smile and told me this story．

“Once when I was about ten years old,” my father told me, “I went treasure hunting with my older sister. She had heard some people talking about a treasure box hidden in a hillside cave. One day we went there and spent two or three hours looking for the entrance to the cave. Then, as I was trying to squeeze between two big stones, I suddenly fell into a hole. It was the mouth of a tunnel that led to the cave. My sister and I crawled through into it. It was very dark but we had brought a flashlight and we were shocked to see that there was a large wooden box ahead of us. We ran to the box and pulled it open. It was filled with silver and gold coins. I started to count them but my sister told me to stop. “This is only money ，”she said, “This is not a real treasure. If you want money, all you have to do is to work for it”．

I was going to argue with her when I suddenly noticed a big metal box on the other side of the cave. The box was filled with statues. Some statues were made of ivory or gold, with diamonds for eyes and rubies for lips. I took one of the gold statues out of the box. ‘Don’t do that!’ yelled my sister. ‘This is only beauty and art. It is not a real treasure. There must be something better here．’

We searched and searched, but there was nothing else in the cave. Then the battery in the flashlight started to die. We got scared and crawled back．I wiggled through but my sister got stuck half way between the stones. I tried to pull her out but I couldn’t. I ran up and down the street knocking on doors but nobody would come．

The only one who would help was a girl about my age. She got a rope and a spade and a water bottle. About an hour later, we got my sister out of the stones. I became good friends with the girl who had helped us. She was very responsible, faithful, kind and loving. When we finished college I realized that she was the woman I wanted to marry. That’s your mom. I thought I had found the best treasure in the world．”

25．Why did the father knock on doors on the street?

A. To beg for water． B. To tell people about the treasure．

C. To beg for help． D. To warn people of the danger．

26. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The loss of flashlight drove them to crawl back．

B. The second box was filled with famous pictures．

C. The sister got stuck between the stones when she was trying to squeeze into the cave.．

D. Most people in the town were not supportive and helpful．

27．Which of the following could best describe the sister?

A. Wise B. Greedy C. Rude D. Lazy

28．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A. An Exciting Experience B. A Real Treasure

C. A Helpful Girl D. A Terrible Trip
