In today’s society, a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn．For instance, the IT world is constantly changing．Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years．The point is to learn to learn． Blogging works exactly the same way．And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal．If you’re trying to make money, this is abundantly clear．There’s always more money to be made．If you’re teaching on a subject, you are constantly looking for new information to share．Even if you’re just sharing your words with others for pleasure, you’re continuously improving your writing and storytelling, so people don’t get bored of you． This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out．They forget this．They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain．They get comfortable．Then they start to run out of juice．Sure, at times it seems that some bloggers just have it．They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever．But this is not true．Pay attention．Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning． The point is apparent．Don’t think you’ve succeeded. There are plateaus, but there are no peaks．What happens when someone thinks they’ve hit the peak? They quickly begin sliding down the other side．Always be learning from your experiences．See what posts work for your readers．Which get the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic, or get the most Absence clicks? Don’t settle or your blog will close for good eventually． 1.Judging from the article, if you have got a college degree, say, in engineering, it means ______． A．you’re good at engineering B．you’ve finished learning engineering C．you’ve chosen to learn engineering D．you can find work relating to engineering 2.The writer thinks Blogging works in a way that it requires the writers to ______． A．be constant learners B．have academic degrees C．keep on writing D．know everything before starting 3.Which is NOT a possible purpose of people’s blogging? A．To increase their income． B．To help others to learn． C．To entertain the readers． D．To keep private records． 4.The writer uses the word “it” in the underlined sentence “Sure, at times … have it” to refers to ______． A．the failure in keeping on writing B．the knowledge needed for blogging forever C．the ability of constant learning D．the comfort enjoyed from blogging 5.The questions in the last paragraph are asked to advise bloggers on how to ______． A．learn from their experiences B．learn from others C．update their knowledge D．reach blogging peaks

Researchers Look Behind the Tears to Study Crying Many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration（就职演说）last week in Washington．Watching the huge crowds，we saw laughter，cheers，hugs---but also many tears． It made us wonder, why do people cry? Surely tears must be good for us—away to calm the mind and cleanse the body．Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse． Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject．They examined detailed descriptions of crying experiences．Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life，not in a laboratory． The team analyzed information from the International Study on Adult Crying．As part of that study，three thousand people in different countries，mostly college students，wrote about recent crying experiences．They noted causes，surroundings and any people involved in the event．They also reported how they felt after they cried． Professor Roaenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equal．Crying does not always make a person feel better，he says．About ten percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried． But a third felt better after crying．And a majority reported the experience as helpful． The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around．People who reached out for emotional support at the time---and received it---reported better results from the crying experience． But Professor Rottenberg says those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful． Research has shown that women cry more often and more intensely than men．But it may not have better effect，says the psychologist．The new findings，he says，did not show that a person’s sex was an advantage of beneficial crying．In other words，just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a“good”cry． The paper entitled “Is Crying Beneficial?”appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychological Science And there is more to learn．Jonathan Rottenberg says the science of crying is still in its infancy． 1.Why did the author mention the presidential inauguration in Washington in the first paragraph? A．Because he was impressed by the laughter, cheers，hugs and tears． B．Because he wanted to introduce the topic about crying． C．Because he wanted to show people’s dissatisfaction with the result． D．Because it was the historic moment that many people cried 2.How did the researchers carry out the research? A．They studied crying experiences not only in everyday life but also in labs． B．They collected the crying experiences of the students at the colleges． C．They studied the crying experiences of grown-ups from various countries． D．They noted their own crying experiences and compared with others． 3.We can learn from the passage that ． A．it may be better to cry alone than with others around B．some support from others may make crying helpful C．women who cry more often may have better effects than men D．the effects will be better if you feel shy while crying 4.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means ． A．in the early stage B．in a secret state C．in the first place D．in good condition

What Is a Boy? Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”．Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night． Boys are found everywhere – on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to．Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them．A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face．BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket． When you are busy, a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise．When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it． A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand． He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water （in its natural habitat）, large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines．He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime． Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper．Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes．Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things． A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!” 1.The whole passage is in a tone of ． A．humor and affection B．respect and harmony C．ambition and expectation D．confidence and imagination 2.Could you figure out the meaning of the underlined sentence? A．He has altogether five fingers． B．He is slow, foolish and clumsy． C．He becomes clever and smart． D．He cuts his hand with a knife． 3.According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except ． A．ice cream B．comic books C．Saturday mornings D．Sunday schools 4.What does the writer feel about boys? A．He feels curious about their noise． B．He is fed up with these creatures． C．He is amazed by their naughtiness． D．He feels unsafe staying with them．
