Amy was looking for a gift for her little daughter. Suddenly she stopped before a store of dolls. “Girls like dolls,” she thought as she stepped into it. Looking around, she saw a grandma doll---one with gray hair and a pair of glasses. In her mind appeared Joyce, her mother.
When Amy was a little girl, she got her first doll from Joyce for her birthday. Then the second, the third… A doll a year never arrived late. “Why always a doll?” This question had been in Amy’s mind until one day her father gave the answer.
Little Joyce dreamed to have a doll. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived. The never-received gift was the most precious (珍贵的) in her eyes.
Her mother’s story being recalled, Amy got an idea. It was Joyce’s birthday. A package was sent to her with a card that read:

Have you ever done something stupid that made you feel so embarrassed（尴尬）?
Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn，I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella．It was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped．
A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended（假装）I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn’t. He just waited in the rain，watching me. I had to wave my hands about and acted as if I was deep in conversation.
Luckily，the rain began to stop after about ten minutes．“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box. “I’m sorry I took so long,” I said to the man.
“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone, ”he replied, smiling．“I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order, you see.” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool(傻瓜). That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

Blogging has become something of a big thing in the last few years. Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular with an underground culture, that is doing it for love and passion(激情).
Blogging is a way of collecting links(链接) to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online. Blogs are basically online diaries which are created for sharing information and ideas.
Dominic, a fifth-grade student, writes: “The blogs give us a chance to communicate between ourselves and encourage us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people across the whole world can reply by using the ‘comments’ link. In this way, they can ask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know if people like what we write and this will tell us where we can improve. By reading these comments, we can discover our weaknesses and our strengths. Blogging is a chance to exchange our opinions with the rest of the world rather than just people in our immediate environment.”
Blogging is sweeping the Internet. A recent report states that at least three million Americans have created blogs, with similar numbers being seen worldwide.
Two years ago, Andrew Sullivan decided to set up a Web page himself and used “Blogger. com” to publish some daily thoughts to a few hundred readers. He worked hard at the blog for months for no reward. But the result is that he is now reaching almost a quarter of a million readers a month and making a lot of money.
This, at least, is the idea: a publishing revolution (革命) is coming. “B” could be to words what Napster was to music—except this time, it'll really work.
( ) 54. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Blogs are mainly online chatting with oth
