It's cool, it's hot, and everyone is doing it. People talk about it often, and friends tell other friends how good they look. Sound like a fashion? It's actually another trend（趋势）:"blog". What's a blog? A blog is a personal online diary. The word "blogger" means a person who writes diaries online.
Many bloggers are teenagers who've been logging onto（进入） some sites to discuss everything in their lives. Many of today's teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. Teens complain about parents and homework. They share diaries, post songs from the latest bands and show their pictures. They write their own poems, say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day.
However, many parents are worried about these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk last weekend and how they don't like studies. They are using language that is surprising to their parents. Besides hearing from their friends, teenage bloggers also get messages from strangers. Most of the time, it's older men that ask to meet teenage girls. "These strange men are dangerous for my kids. They sometimes teach my kids bad words," said Cara Cabral, a mother of two.
Many teenagers and young adults know it's not safe to use blogs on the Internet. They know they are putting information about themselves in a place where they can be seen by anyone. But teenagers are unlikely to give up this new communication tool that has become a way of life for many of them.
( )9. The underlined word "it" refers to_______ in the passage.
A. the Internet B. the blog C. the website D. talking online

A. who writes diaries online
B. who posts songs from the latest bands.

( )11. According to this passage. teenage bloggers mostly_______.
A complain about parents and homework
B. share diaries and show their pictures
C. offer support to each other
