A
A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog , and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it.
One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. It involves much useful information for readers. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.
Ms Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything----politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from online bank accounts.

Have you ever heard the old saying ,"Never judge a book by its cover" ?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence (智力 ) of others .Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations .A young people with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl when he speaks .He may not be able to find the right words . But don't make mistake of thinking him stupid , with a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody .

His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.

Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.

HONG KONG, Sept. 12 — Hong Kong Disneyland, the 11th theme park of Walt Disney Co., opened here on Monday morning. Chinese Vice President (副主席)Zeng Qinghong, Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, chief executive (行政长官)of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR香港特别行政区), and Tung Chee-hwa, attended the opening. The Hong Kong Disneyland project, worth 3.5 billion US dollars,was jointly funded by Walt Disney Co. and the HKSAR government. Some 16,000 people attended the opening.The park estimates that it will attract 5.6 million visitors in its opening year and is expected to draw up to 7.4 million annually after 15 years. About 40 percent of the visitors are expected to come from the mainland, Disney has said. Walt Disney officials claimed that choosing Hong Kong as the first place of China to build Disneyland has three major reasons: Hong Kong people are wonderful, Hong Kong is a beautiful city and Hong Kong is the richest city in China. "Hong Kong Disneyland is the first Disney theme park that's modeled so closely to the first Disneyland in California," Jay Rasulo, president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, said. Hong Kong Disneyland is smaller than the other parks at only 121 hectares（公顷） - a fact that Disney tries not to point out. Some of the thousands of guests who got a sneak peak at the park in the past month complained that it was too small, and Disney has plans to expand it. The project was announced in 1999 and construction began in 2003. Disney's other parks are Tokyo, Paris and the U.S. states of California and Florida. The company confirmed that Disney had been talking to the government in Shanghai about opening a park that wouldn't open until at least 2010. 69.
