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 {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（release） their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（manage） one's micro blogs will take a lot of time and energy, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}should be used to study．

    In my view, I am in favor{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the activity. Today the Internet is playing an important role in our life. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this meaningful tool to communicate and display {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（us）.What's more, opening and organizing micro blogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a result, we improve ourselves while organizing our micro blogs.

    In fact, micro blog itself is of little harm．It is your attitude towards it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

    What {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) English for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(learn) lists of words—the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(long) the lists, the better. That's wrong. Many students know hundreds of grammar rules, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they can't speak correctly or {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fluent). They are afraid of making mistakes. English is the working language. It is widely {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(speak) and used in the world. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. English is also the language of global culture. You can listen to English songs {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the radio {#blank#}8{#/blank#} use English to communicate with people around the world through the Item. With so many people {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(communicate) in English every day, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.

(Near the school gate, a woman driver was stopped by a traffic officer.)

Officer: Madam, do you know how fast you were going just now?

Driver：(looking at the record) Uh, well, no! I didn't think I was going that fast...

Officer：This is a 25 mph zone，Madam. You see that school over there? You {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go)35 mph.

Driver: {#blank#}2{#/blank#} today is Sunday, sir. There is no school today.

Officer: That doesn't matter, madam. There{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be)signs that say what the speed limit is. Besides, children often come to school on the weekend {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (play)sports. You see all those kids over there? What {#blank#}5{#/blank#}you hit one of them by accident?

Driver: I'm {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (terrible)sorry, officer, I won't do it again. Could you please let me off with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} warning?

Officer: I'm afraid I can't do that, madam. In school zones，I'm required to give tickets to all drivers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} break the rules. It's the law in this county.

Driver: Oh, dear! {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is this going to cost me?

Officer: I don't know, madam. Usually, these things can be taken care of for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (little)than $ 100.Now please sign here at the bottom.

Driver: OK.

    We all know how good nature can make us feel. The sound of the ocean, the smell of a forest and the way sunlight dances through {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leaf) help us to relax and think more clearly. The idea {#blank#}2{#/blank#} humans own a deep biological need to connect with nature has been called "Biophilia", {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (mean) "love of life and the living world". Yet, according to the United Nations Population Division, so far the number of us going to urban areas {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (grow) sharply. By 2050, it is estimated that a shocking sixty-eight percent of the world's inhabitants will live in cities. Cities are wonderful places — full of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (excite), innovation and energy. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} living in a city can be stressful. And the more we live in them, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} more stress we have, leading to increases in mental illnesses {#blank#}8{#/blank#} depression and loneliness. The good news is that the global science community continues to explain the medical benefits of nature on the brain. Through conducting research and sharing information with different organizations, new ideas are being carried out that encourage us {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (step) out of the fast street and reconnect with nature in a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (rapid) changing world.

Do Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Justine Henin have anything {#blank#}1{#/blank#} common with people like us? You probably answer "NO!"

It seems that top athletes live in a world that is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (total) different from ours. However, if we could see into their minds, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} would be clear that they are actually just like us. Just how they become successful {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (mean) examples for us all. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} mentally.

We may not be sports stars {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (we), but we have to face the same problems. We set goals for ourselves and think about personal {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (develop). We have to manage our fears before big exams. We worry about our friendships with both classmates and teachers.

Like sportspeople, we try {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) mentally strong and bring out our {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good). There is much we share with sports {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hero).
