For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others. Another form of self-expression is the written word. For many people, it is easier for them to express their thoughts or emotions in writing, instead of speaking them out. It is an especially popular way for expression among shy and highly self-conscious (自尊) people. Peoples thoughts are written down and then published(出版) so that others can read and enjoy them. There are many reasons why newspapers and publishers actually publish peoples thoughts, but the major reason is to give information. With the introduction of newer technologies, new ways now appear to share peoples ideas quickly. Blogs are just one way. People can now let the world know their hopes, dreams and day to day activities through a web blog. Better than that, many sites allow customers to create their own web blog for free. The word blog comes from the words web and log. Slogging is the term that is used to refer to activities relating to a blog, such as creating it, updating and adding content(内容). And the blogger is the person who puts that content on the blog. Blogs can be very powerful. Blogs can change the world by changing the opinions of large numbers of people around the world.6 .

They can use tools to solve problems although they dont have hands. For example, scientists have ever found that a dolphin can make a shy eel (鳗鱼) come out of the hole with a dead fish. Dolphins use different sounds to get or give information. Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins, and the results are amazing. They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of some words, but also understand the importance of word order in a sentence. Most animals enjoy playing, but dolphins seem to like making their games as exciting as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the “game” and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour.Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our “IQ tests”. For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle from the keeper. They do this because they will get a fish as a prize.There is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers, but it is sure that watching a dolphin show is fun.11 .

The custom of your country., the different kinds of food, or just your personal interest? The last study in theJournal of American College Health told us that in fact, the environment where we live also plays a role in eating.Some students, male or female, live in dormitories (宿舍), and otherslive off campus (校园). So according to the different environment they have,researchers at Washington State University got some data(数据) and compared with daily food choices. They found there were big differences in the consumption(消耗) of fruit and vegetables, fish, unsweetened cereal, white bread, cookies and beer.Basically, many students like to eat the food that is most available where they live. And they are strongly influenced by eating habits of their peers (同龄人). Men have more beer, meat and white bread than women. Women consume more diet soda.The reason is very simple. Because we are social animals and generally likely to make a meal of whatever everybody else is having. So some experts advise that if youre trying to lose weight but your friends think pizza and beer is a balanced meal, then the problem is coming.

It is famous as one of the cleanest countries in the world.The Swiss think that recycling is very important. The government has made laws (法律) which require everyone to recycle. In 1998, the Swiss government passed a law which says that people can not throw away any electronic machines. Instead, people are told to bring old ones, such as televisions, computers and fridges, to special centers when they didnt need them. Many parts of the old machines are reused, and only the parts that cant be used are thrown away. The government also charges(收费) a rubbish bag tax(税收).
