Only three local students won Chinese Blog(博客)Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.
170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.
Themes ranged from local opinions-such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre-to food blogs.
The entries were judged on Language proficiency(熟練程度)and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.
Academics(學者) from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.
In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.
“No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teachers in charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language. ”
One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts(播客).
Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible(負責任的).
“Some bloggers out there only seek to blame(責備) the authorities and other bloggers.” Said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”
56. The competition was organized by ___________.
A. the National University of Singapore B. Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao
C. the Saint Andrew’s Junior College D. Innova Junior College
57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Not all the themes were about local subjects.
B. Chinese students won most of the awards.
C. The blogs could be written in Chinese or Singlish.
D. The judges were from universities in Singapore and China.
58. What Miss Gao said suggests that ___________.

C. she has a sense of responsibility D. she loves to read valuable posts
59. The passage is mainly about ___________.
A. how Chinese students won the awards in the competition
B. why bloggers should take responsibility for their blogs
C. what the result of the competition was
D. how Miss Gao won the first prize in the competition
C
Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)? When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example,someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy's a winner,right? Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That’s called a half-truth.Half truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents(對手)says,“During Governor Smith’s term,the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true.However,an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs.’’
Advertisers(廣告商) will sometimes use half-truths.It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.It’s a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well.
60.We may infer that the author believes people should
A.buy lottery tickets if possible B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told D.not trust the Yucky Company
61.What do the underlined words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.final increase B.big advantage C.1arge share D.total number
62.What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?
A.False statements are easy to see through.
B.Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
C.Doctors like to act in advertisements.
D.Advertisements are based on facts.
63.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
64.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Using half truths is against the law.
B.Technically,half truths are in fact lies.
C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D.Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
65.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.He’s really a big loser! B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths. D.It’s against the law to make false statements.

To forgive may be great, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your complaint. But forgiveness(寬恕) is possible —and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
So how do you start forgiveness? Try following these steps:
Calm yourself. To calm your anger, try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.” Luskin says.
Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” Luskin says, “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. “Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.” Luskin says.
Try to see things from the other person’s perspective. If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear and even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge." Luskin says, “But it can rob you of your self-confidence if _________”
