11、ry. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 26 that my sister might read it!The biggest 27 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write.

17、. Someone often says to me “Are you crazy?” I know why they say to me like that. My journey takes me about 40 minutes on foot, but if I take a bus, it just takes 15 minutes. I have a special reason for this journey. It is very simple reason, but it is quite important motivation to me. Especially thi

18、s journey is very educational to me. I just like staring at people, but it has different meaning. As you know, Manchester city is a famous big city in the northeast of England. A lot of different people live here. For example, a street called Rush Holm is a famous place for that. In my case, I alway

19、s go through this street, so I can see many beautiful and fantastic shops, clothes, foods and advertisements and so on. Moreover, a lot of Muslims live around this street, so I have chance to know Muslims culture and religion every time I go through it.Of course, a coin has two sides. I have to spen

20、d nearly an hour getting to school on foot. Sometimes I feel tired. Sometimes I am late for school if I cant start as usual. Sometimes I am tired of the noisy cars. One day, a car can hardly hit me while I was walking through the town and enjoyed the sightseeing in the street. But it is good motivat

21、ion for learning another culture, so I like journey. Like this I always learn a lot of things on my journey. Every day and every time I can see people and learn their thinking.

25、d also has another meaning in English. It is used to describe somethingusually something someone saysthat is false or wrong or foolish. Baloney sausage comes from the name of the Italian city, Bologna. The city is famous for its sausage, a mixture of smoked, spiced (加香料的) meat from cows and pigs.But

26、 baloney sausage does not taste the same as beef or pork alone. Some language experts think this different taste is responsible for the birth of the expression baloney. Baloney is an idea or statement that is nothing like the truth. In the same way that baloney sausage tastes nothing like the meat t

27、hat is used to make it. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.mBaloney is a word often used by politicians to describe the ideas of their opponents. The expression has been used for years. Fifty years ago, a former governor of New York State, Alfred Smith, criticized some claims by President Franklin Roosevelt about th

28、e successes of the Roosevelt administration. Smith said, “No matter how thin you slice it, it is still baloney.”A similar word has almost the same meaning as baloney. It even sounds almost the same. The word is blarney. It began in Ireland about sixteen hundred ago. The lord of Blarney castle, near

29、Cork, agreed to surrender（投降，交出) the castle to British troops. But he kept making excuses for postponing the surrender. And he made them sound like very good excuses, “this is just more of the same blarney.”The Irish castle now is famous for its Blarney stone. Kissing the stone is thought to give a

30、person special powers of speech. One who has kissed the Blarney stone, so the story goes, can speak words of praise so smoothly and sweetly that you believe them, even when you know they are false.A former Roman Catholic bishop（主教）of New York City, Fulton Sheen, once explained, “Baloney is praise so

31、 thick it cannot be true. And blarney is praise so thin we like it.”40. Why can baloney be used to express something false or wrong or foolish?A. Because baloney sausage tastes nothing like the meat that is used to make it.B. Because it sounds like an idea or statement that is nothing like the truth

32、.C. Because it tastes like beef or pork.D. Because it is a kind of sausage that many Americans eat often.41. The sentence underlined in Para 5 implies that _.A. Neither Alfred Smith nor Franklin Roosevelt was a politicianB. Alfred Smith and Franklin Roosevelt were not opponentsC. Alfred Smith disagr

33、eed with Franklin RooseveltD. Franklin Roosevelt sliced baloney too thin42.

They come from different countries. D. They have the same history. C After a hard-fought campaign, London has been awarded the right to h

35、ost the 2012 Olympic Games. The UK capital saw off competition from four rival cities: Paris, Madrid, Moscow and New York.Londoners can now look forward to the transformation of their city in the same way as their counterparts in Beijing. Indeed, there are many similarities in the two cities approac

36、h to hosting the games. Both cities need to invest in developing their infrastructures in order to cope with the demands of the event.However, this kind of investment is far from cheapit is estimated that it will cost around $40 billion to prepare for the 2008 games, much of which will be spent on t

37、ransport links. Nevertheless, the benefits of becoming an Olympic city can be greatBarcelona, which hosted the 1992 games, was completely regenerated （获得新生） and has since become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.David Beckham is not alone in supporting the successful bid; Man

38、chester United and England defender, Rio Ferdinand, says, “This will be a great boost for the whole of the country. Im looking forward to being at the 100m final in 2012.”One thing that will change in the 2012 games is the number of sports. The International Olympic Committee has decided to axe base

39、ball and softball（垒球）from the games. IOC president Jacques Rogge explained, “Needless to say, these sports are very, very disappointed, but it does not disqualify them forever as Olympic sports,”However, one unlikely British sport is attempting to gain Olympic status. “As the newest recognized sport

43、s that most of the people treat this joke very seriously. Life is given to us for enjoying and creating fun. We all see lots of sorrows and unhappiness around us. The amazing fact is that most of these sorrows and unhappiness are our creations. All these are the weak points of society. We commit mos

44、t mistakes in life due to our greed or we are forced by the society to commit these. However, in all this run we miss many beautiful moments of life.Life is full of many exciting things which offer a great enjoyment to all of us. We all were born in this world with no thoughts and desires and a chil

45、d only wants to enjoy his life. However, we burdened this innocent soul from childhood with lots of expectations and desires.
