Blog is a short way of saying Web log. Through these personal Web sites, people can share their experiences, ideas and opinions with anyone on the Internet.People of all ages have their own blogs. For young people, they are a way to show their writings and other forms of self – expression.Many Web sites offer free services to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures.

One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but give him a coup le of days —he’ll figure it out. Another one must survive with his son for three days in the desert, where, because neither can cook, the two only eat instant noodles.These story lines are part of Where Are We Going, Dad? which, since its first show in O ctober, has become one of China’s most popular television shows, covering more than 600 million viewers each week. And searches for Where Are We Going, Dad?turn up over 40 million hits on Sina Weibo, China’s Twitter.“In traditional Chinese culture, the c ommon conception of parenthood is that the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler on their kids and more concerned with their upbringing,” said Li Minyi, an associate professor of early childhood education at the leading Beijing Normal University. “An important question arises in this show for modern Chinese society —what is the role of fathers in today’s China?”“As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping, a popular education expert, in an interview with the Qianjiang Evening News. “They cannot use parenting styles from 20 years ago to guide the development of children born 20 years later.”The attraction of Where Are We Going, Dad? lies in the chance to have a close look at the lives of popular Chinese stars and their children. Audiences fancy watching the failed attempts of star dads making dinner, braiding hair(编头发), and disciplining children — tasks often left to mothers in a society still influenced by the opinion that “men rule outside and women rule inside.”1. From the passage, we can draw a conclusion that Where Are We Going, Dad? is .A. a TV showB. a novelC. a matchD. a news report2.

Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A. In modern society, men should not care too much about their kids.B. Where Are We Going, Dad has the most number of viewers in China.C. In Chinese tradition, fathers always play an active part in their children’s lives.D. While they bring up their children, parents are improving their parenting styles.4. The reason why Where Are We Going, Dad is so popular in China may include the following EXCEPT that .A. audiences enjoy laughing at others’ failure in lifeB. it can make people laugh and think at the same timeC. peopl e love watching the stars and their children’s lives closelyD. it presents a new generation of men’s role in their children’s livesDUntil late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations. Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That’s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonel y,” the reporter said.The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense tha t things would turn out right in the end.”Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell whic h pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.1.

The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____.A. the old don’t like to live in a big familyB. the young can’t get enough money to support the oldC. different generations have different lifestylesD. the old are too weak to live with the young3.
