It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒体） bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.

解析

试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是现在很多人都喜欢在网上写博客，动东西方人写的博客的内容是不一样的。作者还将现在的博主进行了分类，即信息技术博主、媒体博主和普通博主。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一段中In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers可知，在美国，博客是给人们提供一些新闻信息来吸引人们的注意力。故C选项是正确的。根据短文第一句话我们可知，在中国56%的人写博客是把它当做私人的日记，故A不对；C和D的表达都不符合文意。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文第三段中When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web.可知，当博客刚刚开始的时候，学信息技术的人题目有技术上的优势，因此他们把握住了机会，把他们的想法写在了网站上，他们的读者也很多。故选A。
小题3:推理判断题。根据最后一段However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number可知A是正确的；根据短文可知除了博主，还有IT bloggers和normal bloggers，故B不对；C选项不符合文意；根据Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words. 可知D不对。故选A。
小题4:词义猜测题。根据它所在的句子When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers.可知，这里说的是当很多媒体博主出现的时候，普通的博主失去了大多数的读者。show up的意思是出现。故选B。
