The law has a great many rules, showing when and how far a man is to be punished, or if he should be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so on. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.

He begins by doing little else than reading, and after he has prepared himself by three years’ study, still, he has to, almost every day, read more about some new questions which he has to answer.

The power to use books, then, is a special skill which a would-be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility（靈活性）to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness to find what a book contains, and something of an instinct（直覺）for where to look for what he wants.

But although this is the power which he will first feel in need of, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise people what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble.

Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧場) in San Ysidro, once told us a story. “When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to __ 36__  and do when he grew up. In his seven-page paper he described his __37__ of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a __ 38__ floor plan（平面圖）for a 4,000-square-foot house that would __ 39__ on a 200-acre dream ranch. Two days later he received his__40__back. On the front page was a __41__red F. The teacher said, “This is an __42__dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. ” Then the teacher__43 __, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your __44__.” The boy asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own__45__on this. However, I think it is a very__46__decision for you.” __47__, after a week, the boy__48__the same paper, making no__49__at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my __50__.”

Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story__51__you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed (裝框) over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the __52__is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.

?Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his   21  . Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very   22  .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a   23  diary?

The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   24  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of   25    that she does not want to   26  .

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog  27  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She   28  about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  29  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   30  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   31  that my sister might read it!

The biggest  32  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I were angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   33  about her in my diary, she would never know.  34  , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   35  read her blog and get angry.

There are also   36  to blogging, of course. If I were feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,”  37  would know about it. However if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   38  respond（回應(yīng)）and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people   39  in contact with their friends and to hear what the people   40  them are doing.
