Alcohol is the term used to describe any number of liquid drinks, which contain liquor, or a substance, which can prevent a person from having full control of his thoughts and actions. The common forms of alcohol are wine, beer and hard liquor. There are many varieties and brands for each. The most popular and cheapest of the three is beer. Beer is commonly made from grains, wine is made from berries or grapes, and hard liquor is made from a very complicated mixing process.

The question is why these drinks are so enjoyable.

Alcohol can be your friend or your enemy. It can be giving you courage and making you think you can accomplish the impossible. This sometimes leads to accidents and puts you in danger. At the same time, alcohol can give you the voice to tell someone special how you feel. It can be your liquid friend. When things are bad in your life and you feel alone, alcohol makes you feel nothing, so that you don’t need the comfort from friends and family. You feel content to just be alone. Alcohol is not all bad. Wine has healthy effects on the heart. Doctors say you should have one glass of wine each day. Drinking beer is also useful for calming you down. Just having one can’t hurt. Mostly, the key is to be responsible when you drink alcohol. Always know your limitations.

Of the 38 million blogs in cyberspace, 52.8% of them are set up and maintained by teenagers.

What can be seen in teens’ blogs? Maybe his or her artwork, stories about school, favorite songs and movies, complaints, and random thoughts about life. In short, blogs can be just about anything that teens use to communicate themselves to others.

Teenage bloggers use their websites for self-expression and to reach to friends, family and the outside world. By revealing themselves online, teens are searching for others like them. They try to find a sense of belonging.

Many people believe that online diaries actually serve some good. For instance, blogging seems to boost literacy. Isn’t a teenager who updates his or her blog every day really writing a daily essay? That could definitely do wonders for his or her writing skills. Moreover, teenagers can also acquire a sense of satisfaction from expressing themselves. Another example of the far-reaching effects of blogging is how it brings social awareness to teenagers. Some of them not only post personal experience on the web, but also encourage other teens to go out and get involved in activities against world hunger, child labor, and so on. What’s more, by reading their children’s daily postings, parents can get to know their offspring better. A blog is certainly more revealing than awkward dinner conversation.

Parents and teachers may be right: blogging can be dangerous. Yet, it can help today’s youths in numerous ways, which may push all of us to have teens keep blogging for good.

47. What’s the main idea of this passage?

(A) Blogging helps teens create and maintain their social ties.

(B) Blogging is a form of self-therapy for teens.

(C) Blogs have exploded in popularity among people from all walks of life.

(D) Teens flock to blogs and they benefit a lot from them.

48. Which of the following benefits of teen blogging is NOT stated in this passage?

(A) Getting a sense of satisfaction.

(B) Enhancing teens’ ability to write.

(9)

(C) Developing teens’ social awareness.

(D) Expanding teens’ view of the future.

49. The word offspring in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “______.”

(A) children (B) teenagers (C) bloggers (D) parents

50. What is the author’s attitude toward teenage bloggers?

(A) doubtful (B) biased (C) positive (D) critical
