Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs o
30、n the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other websites. 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 say
31、s that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. 10 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 oth

It was originally created for military use by the US in 1980s but is now available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywher
37、e in the world, 24 hours a day. And the 14 service is free. GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day and transmit signals and information to the earth. GPS receivers take this information and calculate the users exact location. A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signals of at least three sat

With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine the users altitude. 15 Once the users position has been determined, the GPS receiver can calculate other information, such as speed, direction, distance to destination, a

Today Professor Liu will give us a lecture about earthquakes. Welcome. Professor Liu: Thank you. As you know, some earthquakes are not p
41、owerful enough to be felt on the earths surface while in others, people can, indeed, feel the earth shaking. And of course, there might be violent movement, often with catastrophic results. What we feel during an earthquake or huge explosion are a series of waves called seismic waves. In an earthqua
42、ke, you might initially feel some minor trembling, then perhaps violent shaking, and then some more tremors. 16 The reason why you feel these different types of movement is because there are different kinds of seismic waves. There are two major types of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves. T
43、he waves that you feel first are body waves. These mainly travel deep through the earths interior rather than at the surface. Some of them travel very fast, and thats why you feel them first. 17 But because they travel deep inside the earth, theyre felt only as tremors. There are two types of body w
44、aves. The first type of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. Its the fastest kind of seismic wave. These waves can move through any type of material, including rock and fluids. Because of this and because of their speed, these waves are the first to reach the earths surface. You likely wont even
45、 hear or feel these waves, but animals may hear them. Theyre not strong enough to cause significant damage. The other type of body wave is the S wave or secondary wave. Because S waves travel at half the speed of P waves, you wont feel them in the beginning. 18-1 Unlike body waves, surface waves mov
46、e at or near the earths surface. These waves are similar to ripples on water. 18-2 They are usually the most destructive type of seismic wave because of their lower frequency, larger amplitude, and longer duration. There are two types of surface waves. The first kind of surface wave is called a love
47、 wave. Its the fastest surface wave. The other kind of surface wave is the Rayleigh wave. It rolls along the ground just like a wave rolls across a lake or an ocean. As a result, it moves the ground up and down and side to side in the same direction that the wave is moving. 19 Most of the shaking fe
48、lt from an earthquake is due to the Rayleigh wave, which can be much larger than the other waves. They are slower than body waves, and sometimes cars might appear to be moving up and down with these waves. Questions 16 to 19 are based on the recording you have just heard. 16.Why do we feel different
