I read yesterday (yes, on a blog) that there are now blogging competitions! I can’t believe it. A man in England won $2,000 for writing the best blog. There’s even a list of the best Chinese bloggers! I’ve read a few of them — before they were famous, I might add. I suppose that one blog can be better than another. It can be better written, more interesting, funnier, and I suppose that blogs are there to be read and judged (点评) by other people. If they’re not good, they’re not read. And they’re not just personal feelings. If they were, they’d be called diaries. Have locks, and be hidden under beds. So I’m OK with this whole competition thing. I just can’t believe I didn’t win!
This has got me thinking about why I’m writing this blog. I’m not doing it to win a competition (or I wasn’t when I started...) and I’m not doing it to show all my personal feelings — I do that in my diary. So, why am I a blogger?
To tell the truth, the first time I heard the word blog I thought it was a new word for a toilet. But I love learning new words so I used my knowledge and found out that a blog was a personal website and the word blog came from the words web log. Now a log is a type of diary kept by sailors, and web, well, we all know that it has nothing to do with catching flies and everything to do with the Internet. Web log… weblog… blog. Being a writer I loved the idea of getting my views onto the Internet where anyone could read them, and no
editors (编辑) could get their hands on them!
So my first reason for blogging: I’m a writer. I want people to read what I write (un — edited!). And I love writing about anything I choose. I can write about saving the environment or complain about how the people in front of me in the cinema always seem to have big heads. And sometimes I pour out my heart too.
My second reason is that it’s relaxing. I don’t have to do research and write an article. I can let my thoughts go on as long as I like.
Third reason? To keep in touch. I’m terrible on the phone and all my friends around the world read my blog (or they say they do...). Every now and then, I even upload a photo so they remember what I look like.
Is there a fourth reason? There probably is but now it’s time for dinner. Tomorrow I might even tell you what I ate.
66. The writer loves writing blogs mainly because ________.
A. his writing about feeling can be shown anywhere
B. his writing would never be edited by others
C. he enjoys writing something about big events
D. he finds himself terrible on the phone
67. There’re ________ reasons in the passage to explain why the writer is a blogger.
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
68. This passage is ________.
A. a blog about blogging B. a diary about blogging
C. a view on blogging D. a judgement on blogging

Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it’s a very dangerous sport that people should be careful about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is
cushioned (缓冲) by the water below—this could not be further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph (miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very important.
Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never dive because a diver’s
body position (体位) at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety. Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves.
Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive. To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and
vertical (垂直的). This is safer because it makes the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less
stress (压力) on the body.
Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good idea, they actually increase the force of
impact(冲击力) because they increase the surface area of the diver at impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver’s body and can lead to broken bones. Without a doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go.
Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person’s physical and
mental(心理的) skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What’s more, a person should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive.
69. What does “this could not be further from the truth” mean?
A. There’s no doubt that this idea is definitely true.
B. This idea is thought to be completely wrong.
C. It depends on the real situation on the spot.
D. Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not.
70. Why didn’t professional divers suggest wearing shoes? Because wearing shoes can____.
A. put more weight on to the diver
B. cause the diver to feel uncomfortable
C. make the point of contact bigger
D. certainly lead to broken bones
71. According to the passage, a good cliff diver should be __________.
A. well-prepared and skillful B. professional and strong
C. creative and smarty D. confident and brave
