14．　　Many young people write blogs (博客). Let's meet three young blog writers.

15．　　When Nicos first moved to Kensington in July, he was very unhappy. He came from a big city where he knew every kid in his building and did lots of things together with his friends. He noticed that Kensington was very quiet — unlike his home city, which was always noisy.
　　Nicos was worried about the start of school because he hadn't met any other kids yet. One day he decided to ride his bike to the town park. He was happy to see people at his age there. Then he noticed some of them looking at him and quietly speaking to one another. "Uh-oh," Nicos thought, "they probably don't like outsiders."
　　A tall boy with carrot-colored hair broke away from the group and walked toward Nicos. The boy stopped a few feet away. Nicos didn't know what to do, but suddenly the boy smiled at him. "Hey," he said.
　　"Hey," Nicos answered.
　　"What's your name?" asked the boy.
　　"Nicos. What's yours?" asked Nicos.
　　"I'm Tim. Nicos is an unusual name. Where's it from?" Tim asked.
　　"It's Greek (希腊语)," answered Nicos.
　　Tim's eyes widened. "Cool, are you from Greece?" he asked.
　　"Well, my family is, but I'm from London," said Nicos.
　　"London!" said Tim. "That's awesome!" He shouted to his group, "Hey, this guy's from London!"
　　The other kids headed toward Tim and Nicos. "This is Nicos," said Tim.
　　The other kids introduced themselves as Tommy, Michelle, Leo, Martin, Chad. Cory, and Keith. They were around him and started asking him questions so fast that he couldn't keep up. "What's the subway like?" "Are there fun things to do there?"
　　"Hey, we're going to a pool (泳池) party at Nicole's house this afternoon," said Lee. "You want to come with us?"
　　Nicos smiled, "Sure!" he said. Chad lived near him, so he and Chad rushed home together on their bikes to get their swim trunks.
　　Nicos had a great time that afternoon. Everyone was so friendly!
　　Even though almost everyone in Kensington knew almost everyone else, there was still room for someone new.

16．　　Have you ever started a book, read a few pages, and found that it isn't interesting at all?If you have, you may be faced with a dilemma: should you keep going with the book, even if you aren't enjoying it, or put it down and find something else?
　　Some people say it's better to go on reading the book you've started. Some of the best books ever written are full of difficult words and paragraphs, with lots of characters (人物) and different storylines. It's an important skill (技能) to keep going and get to the end. Besides, if you stop reading halfway through, how will you know how everything turns out for the characters?What's more, the book might suddenly become really interesting, and there might even be a surprise change. Giving up is easy, but trying to finish a difficult book is a good skill to have.
　　But not everybody has the same idea. Cressida Cowell, the new Children's Laureate (儿童文学桂冠奖得主), says it's OK to stop reading a book you don't like. She says young readers should read books they enjoy, not those that aren't of much interest. There are lots of wonderful books waiting to be read in libraries and bookshops, so spending hours and days trying hard to read an uninteresting story is meaningless. Nobody would choose to sit through a boring TV show. Giving up and trying a different book is the same as picking something else to watch on TV. Besides, it's important to enjoy reading and not think of it as a chore (苦差事) . If you have to finish a book that you are not enjoying, it might put you off reading other books in the future.
　　If you ask me, I think you shouldn't give up after page one. You can read around 20 pages and then you can stop reading if you don't like the characters or can't easily jump into their world. Sometimes you're just not in a place for a book, and it's OK to set it aside and revisit it later. A book you're not loving today could end up being your favorite in a few years.

17．　　Charlie Condell, an 18-year-old boy, has finished bike trip around the world in just 318 days. He became the youngest British person to bike around the world.
　　To set a round-the-world biking trip record (纪录), a person must start and end in the same place and ride about 24, 900 miles (40. 072 kilometers). They are allowed to fly and take boats, but they must finish most of the trip on bikes.
　　Last July, Charlie left his home in Bristol. England. He was taking a year off before going to college and he liked the idea of the challenge (挑战) .
　　He loved his bike, and he named it "Colin". Colin was very light, which made it easier for Charlie to put in long days with lots of miles. Some days Charlie rode as many as 125 miles (200 kilometers).
　　Charlie had many hard times. He didn't have anyone travelling with him to help him. He carried his own gear (装备) and camped out most nights. He had to deal with rain, wind, bad drivers, and countless flat tyres (漏气的车胎) . He says the trip taught him to believe in himself.
　　Charlie posted many pictures and notes of his trip on a website to record the trip, which shows a young man having the time of his life. He also made friends all along the way.
　　After biking over 11. 000 miles (17. 700 kilometers) through Europe, Asia, and Australia, something bad happened. He woke up one morning to find that his bike and all of his gear had been stolen (被偷) . Charlie posted his story on the Internet. He soon had new clothes and a new bike with people's help. He was on his way again.
　　Charlie went on his trip. Finally, on March 11, before his birthday, he returned to Bristol, England, where he started his trip nine months earlier.
　　Charlie will start college in the fall. For anyone planning to take on their own challenge, Charlie tells them. "Just step out of the door and keep on going till you've made it. "
