B

In today’s society，a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn．For instance, the IT world is constantly changing．Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years．The point is to learn to learn．

Blogging works exactly the same way．And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal．If you’re trying to make money，this is abundantly clear．There’s always more money to be made．If you’re teaching on a subject，you’re constantly looking for new information to share．Even if you’re just sharing your words with others for pleasure，you’re continuously improving your writing and storytelling，so people don’t get bored with you.

This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out．They forget this．They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain．They get comfortable．Then they start to run out of juice．Sure，at times, it seems that some bloggers just have it．They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever. But this is not true．Pay attention．Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning．

The point is apparent．Don’t think you’ve succeeded．There are plateaus (高原)，but there are no peaks．What happens when someone thinks they’ve hit the peak? They quickly begin sliding down the other side．Always be learning from your experiences．See what posts work for your readers．Which get the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic，or get the most Absence clicks? Don’t settle or your blog will close for good eventually．

24．Judging from the passage，if you have got a college degree，say，in engineering，it means______．

A．you’ve chosen to learn engineering

B．you’ve finished learning engineering

C．you’re good at engineering

D．you can find work related to engineering

25．The writer thinks Blogging works in a way that it requires the writers to_______.

A．keep on writing B．learn continuously

C． have academic degrees D．know everything before starting

26．Which is NOT a possible purpose of people’s blogging?

A．To entertain the readers． B．To help others to learn．

C．To increase their income． D．To keep private records．

27．The questions in the last paragraph are asked to advise bloggers on how to____________.

A．update their knowledge B．learn from others

C．learn from their experiences D．reach blogging peaks

C

Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.

That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?

Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.

That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.

After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.

The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".

28. Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?

A. Because his story saved her son’s life.

B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.

C. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.

D. Because he was cute and kind to everybody.

29. What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The wonderful card the writer received .

B.
