He must either give the public what they want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to bee famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer isnt easy at all. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm is so hysterical(歇斯底里的) that they do anything to get a souvenir. They steal handkerchief, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of unfortunate singers hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped(剥) practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes because he must always look smart, or at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious(豪华的) car. And most importantly, he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.24. Pop singer works very hard _.A. to get attention B. to stay popular C. to get more money D. to sell more records25.

The Success of Pop Singers( C )The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests, who were a father and daughter, and put the lid on the cup with a clink. Apparently thinking of something, he hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos(热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a chest of drawers opening and a rustling. They remained sitting in the parlor（客厅）, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the parlor. Something was hopelessly broken. It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girl looked over her shoulder abruptly, startled, staring. It was mysterious. Neither of them had touched it, not even a little bit. True, it hadnt stood steadily when their host placed it on the table, but it hadnt fallen then. The crash of the thermos caused the host, with a box of sugar cubes in his hand, to rush back from the inner room. He gawked at the steaming floor and blurted out, “It doesnt matter! It doesnt matter!” The father started to say something. Then he muttered, “Sorry, I touched it and it fell.” “It doesnt matter,” the host said.Later, when they left the house, the daughter said, “Daddy, did you touch it?” “No. But it stood so close to me.” “But you didnt touch it. I saw your reflection in the windowpane. You were sitting perfectly still.” The father laughed. “What then would you give as the cause of its fall?” The thermos fell by itself. The floor is uneven. It wasnt steady when Mr. Li put it there. Daddy, why did you say that you ?” “That wont do,” girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. There are things which people accept less, the more you defend them. The truer the story you tell, the less true it sounds.” The daughter was lost in silence for a while. Then she said, “Can you explain it only this way?”“Only this way,” her father said.28. The underlined words “ blurted out” in Paragraph 4 means “ _”. A. said quietly B. said mysteriously C. said quickly D. said patiently29. The location of the thermos before it fell was _.A. on the floor of the inner room B. on the windowpaneC. on a small table in the parlor D. behind the father and daughter30. It can be inferred from the story that the father _.A. didnt know Mr. Li very well B. didnt think Mr. Li would believe the truthC. was sorry that he told the truth D. was a stubborn man31. The story shows us that _.A. people rarely tell the truthB. if you defend yourself, people will believe youC. people should take the blame for something that they didnt doD. you cant always make people believe the truth( D)If you are human, you cant help but experience times when everything seemsto be going wrong and you feel as if your life is pletely out of control. It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression. For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out. The two frogs ignored the ments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Dont let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.32. The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when _.A. we stay with our family, friends and co-workers B. we hear strangers say something to usC. we get through hard times in life. D.we make some big mistakes.33. The underlined phrase “took heed of” has the similar meaning with “_”A. acted according to B. had some doubt C. held on to D. got used to34. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.Thats because_.A. he struggled to prove that they were wrong B. he thought they were encouraging himC. he was angry with what they saidD.he didnt want to let them down.35. After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that _.A. we can use encouraging words to help others out B. having a positive attitude is important in lifeC. never give up until we winD. we must believe in ourselves rather than others第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。At present, an increasing number of student wear glasses and some even in high degree, that worries themselves a lot.

Third, somespend too many time before televisions or puters.However, much can be done to protect our eyesight. When reading, we should be in bright places but let our eyes rest every an hour. Whenever we are free, we should do some eye exercises so that our tiring eyes can be restored quick.There is an English saying：“_36_” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously.
