I’ve been keeping an English blog for many years. These practical tips have helped me over the course of my blogging.
● Read quality books, blogs, journals, etc. which are written in English. Blogging is not always about writing. 1. Reading also improves your English comprehension, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and writing.
● Practice helps, so continue writing. 2. Trying to make a perfect post （帖子） free from grammar and spelling mistakes is good but you’re not making use of your time efficiently.
● 3. Think about the main points you want to raise. I prepare an outline of my post and a list of the points I want to talk about. Doing this has helped me stay on track and focus on my main points. The outline and the list of points I want to write about serve as my guidelines when I’m writing.
● When writing, use simple words and sentences. Using simple sentences makes your job as a blogger easier. 4. Always remember this: The aim of your writing is to get your message across and the only way to become an effective writer is successfully conveying your message to your readers.
● Write your posts ahead of time. 5. To free yourself from the pressure of making a post on daily basis, which might affect your writing, consider making your posts ahead of time.
A. Also, it makes your posts more understandable to your readers.
B. Welcome comments from your blog readers.
C. There are benefits of daily blogging but if it becomes tiring, forget about it.
D. Don’t be scared of making mistakes.
E. Mistakes can be reduced with the help of your readers.
F. You need to read to be able to write fluently.
G. Prepare an outline of your post.
You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Handle it head-on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited(自负的), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise（妥协）. Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be tinged(发出叮叮声) by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.
1.According to the author, the jealousy emotion is________.
A. normal B. productive

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to face your friend when jealousy happens?

C. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know how you feel.
D. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know you think there’s something between you.
3.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. There’s always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.
B. Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.
C. You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.
D. You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution
4.The purpose of the passage is________.
A. to explain what causes jealousy
B. to offer some advice on making friends

Texting long messages can be a pain in the neck. The repetitive action of working your fingers across the keyboard of your cell phone can cause some of the same chronic (慢性的) pain problems previously limited to those who’d spent a lifetime typing.
The possible connection is particularly worrying considering how much teens and young adults — and increasingly those in professional settings — are texting nowadays, said Judith Gold, who carried out one of the first studies on the potential connection.
Text messaging is a fairly new technology, Gold says, so this is a new area of research for those who study ergonomics (人类工程学). But “considering the similarities in body position, findings from research on overuse injuries from computers could be applicable” to texting.
“The way the body is positioned for texting – fixed shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers – is similar to the position for typing on a computer,” Gold explained. Previous research has found pain in the elbow connected with too much thumb texting.
To look for a broader link between texting and chronic pain, Gold and her colleagues sent a questionnaire to 138 college students, asking them to report the number of text messages they sent per day (in four categories: 0, 1-10, 11-20, 21+ messages) and to point out any discomfort they felt on a body map.
The research showed an association between the number of text messages sent per day and shoulder discomfort. The effect seemed to be particularly pronounced in males, though Gold says she doesn’t know why that would be.
“What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” Gold said. However, Gold’s study did not take account of the amount of time the people surveyed also spent typing on computers, which could be affecting the results.
1.In the past, who usually suffered from a pain in the neck according to the passage?
A. A writer B. A typist C. A teacher D. A doctor
2. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 6 refers to the fact that _______.
A. office workers easily suffer from the body discomfort
B. men like to text messages more
C. text messaging causes body discomfort
D. males have more shoulder discomfort
3.The passage mainly tells us _______.
A. what ergonomics is
B. texting too much causes a pain in the neck
C. whether texting is beneficial or not
D. the connection between texting and typing
4.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the study was the first one carried out by Gold
B. one positions oneself differently from computer-users when texting
C. the amount of computer-use time was calculated in the survey
D. the result of the survey was not 100% convincing
