Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro-blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, it is a useful way to release their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} ,many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's micro blog will take a lot of time and energy, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor {#blank#}4{#/blank#}this activity. Today the Internet is playing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}important and essential role in our life. Therefore as high school students, we need to learn to make use of this {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening microblogs need various abilities such {#blank#}7{#/blank#}writing, designing , being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. As a result, we will improve ourselves while {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) our microblogs.

    In fact, microblog {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

They haven't decided to settle in. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is more difficult than they expected. (adjust)

    John Carter was rescued from the sea near his holiday home yesterday. The accident happened while he{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(walk) along a steep cliff at the edge of the sea. He was blown off by a strong wind and{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fall) into the sea, 30 meters below. Luckily, a woman saw him in the sea soon afterwards and she called the police rescue service.

    A CCTV journalist succeeded in arousing a heated discussion among netizens by asking people whether they were happy. The responses to the question were various, even some quite funny ones {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(include). Although people played jokes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the answers, it did not take long {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they began to figure out the true meanings of happiness.

    It is certain that people's views on happiness {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(affect) greatly by their own life experience. Unfortunately, too many people refer to being rich as happiness and there is no sign of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} decrease in the number of those who are voluntarily at the mercy of wealth. Some people whose {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(intend) is to make big money appreciate {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) given any chance to multiply their income, believing that is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} their happiness lies. Some are eager to inherit their parents' property, especially those who are known as silver-spoon kids. Even worse, some would rather break the law to satisfy their financial desire or seek their fortune {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(legally).

    In my opinion, happiness is not about pursuing wealth merely but about admiring the beautiful things in life. Therefore, live your life {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the fullest and be happy.
