The castle had two floors. We were ten years old and sat around the coffee table, drinking from coffee cups filled with water. We talked about our future good friends, girls’ dress, make-ups and well-behaved classmates at our daily meeting. We promised each other that this was how our lives would be.
Then we got a little older, I was graduating from the eighth grade. This time we were in a real coffee shop. We were growing up, drinking hot chocolate instead of water, but our conversation hadn’t changed. We were going to go to college together. Then we would open a business in the city. We promised each other this was how it would be.
My interests and areas of study have changed many times. I’ve become involved in many activities that have opened my eyes to new possibilities. My friends are part of my life. I would do anything for them. I know they would do the same for me. In the case of a broken heart, a silly argument, or a difficult test, I am always the first to help. Being there for my friends comes first no matter what else I have to do.
I’m growing up fast. Junior year has almost finished. College is just around the corner, but our childish talks and plans don’t seem so long ago, In fact, we’re still having the same discussions. We probably won’t go to the same college but we could be in the same state. We will talk every day, meet on weekends and come home on holidays. This plan is just as good.
Now I am ready for college. I will meet new people, have new experiences in new surroundings and live on my own. But I will not leave my friends. I won’t see them on weekends, but maybe on holidays. I will be making new ones at college. I hope I will become as close with them as I am with those old friends. Maybe if I’m lucky I will meet a few with whom I can sit and share a cup of coffee.

A school in China has started a new course to teach its students how to play video games as a future profession. The school hopes the “eSports and Management” course could help ambitious teenagers cash in on China’s digital gaming industry. During the first year of the course, the students in their teens and early 20s spend 50 percent of their time in playing games and the rest in studying theory lessons.
The Lanxiang Technical School, situated in the city of Jinan in the eastern China, launched its eSports course last September and attracted about 50 students in its first year. “At first, many parents thought it was just about playing video games,” school director Rong Lanxiang said. “in fact, it’s not the case. eSports has become an economic growth driver.”
At the school, students focus on improving their skills in some of the most popular eSports games. League of Legends, one of the world’s most played games, is a strategy driven bout where players fight against each other in a digital arena.
After the first year, the students are divided up. The best gamers focus on becoming professional players while the others are taught skills including event organization, promotion, or coaching.
Song Jinze, a shy 16-year-old, says he wants to become a presenter（主持人）. Big tournaments attract huge online audiences and, just like any boxing or football match, a good presenter is a key part of the experience. It’s not a career path his parents will be happy with, but he is able to convince them of his prospects.
The annual school tuition fees are around 13,000 yuan, a fairly reasonable price for tuition in China. The most talented players who become part of the school team are exempt（被免除的）from paying.
Lanxiang Technical has its sights set on tutoring up to 1,000 eSports students.

The word“diary”comes from the Latin word“diarium”，which means“daily allowance”．It refers to a book for disconnected writings by date and is used for business notes，planning activities，keeping track of scheduled appointments，or documenting what has already happened．
In America，from the 1940s through the 1980s，a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping marks about the day．In those times，and even continuing on today，writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend．Many times，movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud，“Dear diary,…”What followed was a brief statement of the day，usually filled with emotion．
Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the author’s death．A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history，for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in the World War II．Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films．
Semuel Pepys，who lived during the 17th Century，is the earliest diary-keeper that is famous today．His diary is also an important documentation of history，for it gives personal insight into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire．Pepys took diary writing from the realm of business to
the individual．His diary is being published on the Internet，and it's interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003．It will continue over the course of several years to come．Reading his diary is fascinating，and it makes his life all the more real to us．
Today’s electronic version of the diary，the web log，or“blog”has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events．There are blogs to document recipes，traveling，movies，independent news，product announcements，photos，and anything else that needs to be recorded over time．Search engines like Technorati．com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public．In its newest replacement，the diary has become more popular than ever．
32. Generally what is a diary used for?
A. Taking business notes． B. Planning activities．
C. Keeping daily happenings． D. Confirming the appointments．
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “realm” in the fourth paragraph?
A. Kingdom． B. Field． C. Department． D. Land． 34. Why does the author mention Anne Frank’s diary in the third paragraph?
A. To let us know the popularity of her diary．
B. To show us the invaluable lessons about the history．
C. To present her dramatic and interesting experience during the War． D. To emphasis the importance of keeping diaries for historical purposes． 35. What can we know about the blog?
A. It has been more widely accepted by the public．
B. Technorati is the only search engine created for it．
C. The diary remains the same form but still popular．
D. Nothing but the individual daily events can be recorded．
