While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit (电路装置) for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advice from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work challenge you, make sure you are challenging that work.” 
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (编码). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how” questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He had headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem. 
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project. 
小题1:According to the passage, the writer was interested in ______.
A.developing traffic systemsB.doing challenging projects
C.winning great prizesD.writing different codes
小题2: The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at first because ______.

C.he wanted to be understood easilyD.he preferred this kind of question
小题3: We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program ______.
A.would benefit people a lotB.was done together with others
C.was difficult and needed patienceD.cost much money and energy
小题4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Do It YourselfB.No Pains, No Gains

  Ed Jocelyn and Andy McEwen might have appeared to be a bit mad---the two set off on their own “Long March” through the remotest regions of China on October 16. The idea was to take a year to retrace one of the epic movements of modern military history.
The two British men in their mid-30s were working as editors in Beijing when they decided to reexperience the tales of the original marches. “We hold these people in such respect,” McEwen says.
They plan to keep diaries but will not share the contents during the trip. “When we get to the end we’ll put our heads together and try and come up with a book,” Jocelyn said.
Their trip has had some auspicious beginning, they have already met two Long March veterans(老战士) in less than a month of travel.
In this modern version, the pair are aided by high-tech equipment including a satellite phone, mini-computer, video camera and solar panels to recharge batteries. A mountain tent and portable stove will help them in the remoter stretches.
They plan to average 35-40 kilometers a day, and rest about every third day. Ed admitted that their trip would be very tough.
If they succeed, they will be the first foreigners to complete the entire Long March route since Otto Braun, the German military advisor who accompanied the Red Army on the Long March.
小题1: This text is mainly about          .
A.high-tech equipment helpful to the Long March
B.first foreigners to walk the Long March
C.British recall of the Long March spirit
D.British editors’ adventure original in China
小题2: The underlined word “auspicious” most probably means          .
A.friendlyB.favourableC.strangeD.surprising
小题3: Which of the following statements is NOT true about the two foreigners?
A.They will use anything modern on the way.
B.They will do some cooking by themselves.
C.They’re planning to have a book published one year later.
D.They will send off news about what happens day by day.

Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his   21 . Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very   22 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a   23 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of   25   that she does not want to   26 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog  27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She   28 about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   30 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   31 that my sister might read it!
The biggest  32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I were angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   33 about her in my diary, she would never know.  34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   35 read her blog and get angry.
There are also   36 to blogging, of course. If I were feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,”  37 would know about it. However if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   38 respond(回应)and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people   39 in contact with their friends and to hear what the people   40 them are doing.
