问题     Blogging is a pastime for many, even a livelihood for a few. For some, it becomes an obsession(着迷, 使人痴迷的事物). Such bloggers often【B1】______write several times daily and feel【B2】______if they don’t keep up. As they spend more time leaning over their computers, they【B3】______family, friends and jobs. They blog at home, at work and on the road. They blog openly or sometimes quietly so as not to call attention to their habit. The number of bloggers has grown quickly, thanks to sites like blogger.com, which makes it easy to set up a blog. Technorati, a blog- tracking service, has counted some 2.5 million blogs. Of course, most of those millions are【B4】______or, at best, maintained infrequently. For many bloggers, the novelty soon【B5】______ and their persistence fades. Sometimes, too, the realization that no one is reading【B6】______. A few blogs have thousands of readers, but never have so many people written so much to be read by so few. By Jupiter Research’s【B7】______, only 4 percent of online users read blogs. Indeed, if a blog is compared to a conversation between a writer and readers, bloggers are having conversations largely with themselves. Perhaps a【B8】______small audience is a blessing. For it seems that the more popular a blog becomes, the more necessary some bloggers feel to post.
    Mr. Pierce is a regular blogger who lives in Hollywood and works in the【B9】______ industry. He said blogging began to feel like an addiction when he noticed that he would rather be with his computer than with his girlfriend. "There is this seductive thing that happens, this kind of snowball-rolling-down-a-hill thing, where the sheer【B10】______of several years’ posting becomes very keenly felt," he said. "And the absence of posting feels like-I don’t know, laziness or something." [br] 【B8】
