Michael
Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old. As is known
to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.
Michael
remembers those early years when he was young. "My father was a machine
operator," he explained, "and he worked at a steel plant. My mother
worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians. "
Michael's
father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could
train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music
groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out,
they would have to be the best.
Practice
makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape. Then
word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some
solo(独唱) songs. In the following years, Michael
was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand,
which has only a total population of three million!
When
Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯)—acting. "I plan to star in movies," he told his friends,
"but of course, my first love is music."
Michael
wrote a lot of his own songs. "Songs came about in the strangest ways,"
he said, "I'll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming
into my head. And then I put it down on the paper. "
Still,
with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. "I just do a
different job from other people," he said, "but it doesn't make me
think I'm better than other people."
To
be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!

When
45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺)cancer, he chose to focus on living rather than dying. As a
computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to
deliver a "last lecture". This well-known campus tradition allowed
professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had
one last lecture to give.
The
only difference in Pausch's case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only
motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, "Really Achieving Your
Childhood Dreams" on Sept. 18, 2007.
Pausch
began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved
and the others he hadn't. He described the importance of having dreams and how
anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don't
always succeed. He shared the values learned through experience, which he hoped
to pass on to others hard work, honesty, laughter and gratitude.
Pausch's
last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy
YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的) version on "The Oprah Winfrey Show". He turned the
lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers
were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy
and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young
children.
Pausch
passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture
and his book. He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give
up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.
45．Why was Pausch asked to give his "last lecture"？
A．To teach the students. B．To make him have a better life.
C．To cure his cancer. D．To achieve his dream.
46．What was Pausch's lecture mainly about？
A．His private life in boyhood. B．Having dreams and good values.
C．The reason for his success. D．The experience learned from others.
47．Which of the following motivated Pausch most？
A．His dreams. B．His children. C．His work. D．His students.
48．What can be the best title for the text？
A．Keep on Dreaming B．The Meaning of Life
C．Motivation from Life D．Give the Last Lecture

Michael
Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old. As is known
to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.
Michael
remembers those early years when he was young. "My father was a machine
operator," he explained, "and he worked at a steel plant. My mother
worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians. "
Michael's
father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could
train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music
groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out,
they would have to be the best.
Practice
makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape. Then
word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some
solo(独唱) songs. In the following years, Michael
was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand,
which has only a total population of three million!
When
Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯)—acting. "I plan to star in movies," he told his friends,
"but of course, my first love is music."
Michael
wrote a lot of his own songs. "Songs came about in the strangest ways,"
he said, "I'll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming
into my head. And then I put it down on the paper. "
Still,
with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. "I just do a
different job from other people," he said, "but it doesn't make me
think I'm better than other people."
To
be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!

When
45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺)cancer, he chose to focus on living rather than dying. As a
computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to
deliver a "last lecture". This well-known campus tradition allowed
professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had
one last lecture to give.
The
only difference in Pausch's case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only
motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, "Really Achieving Your
Childhood Dreams" on Sept. 18, 2007.
Pausch
began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved
and the others he hadn't. He described the importance of having dreams and how
anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don't
always succeed. He shared the values learned through experience, which he hoped
to pass on to others hard work, honesty, laughter and gratitude.
Pausch's
last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy
YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的) version on "The Oprah Winfrey Show". He turned the
lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers
were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy
and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young
children.
Pausch
passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture
and his book. He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give
up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.
45．Why was Pausch asked to give his "last lecture"？
A．To teach the students. B．To make him have a better life.
C．To cure his cancer. D．To achieve his dream.
46．What was Pausch's lecture mainly about？
A．His private life in boyhood. B．Having dreams and good values.
C．The reason for his success. D．The experience learned from others.
47．Which of the following motivated Pausch most？
A．His dreams. B．His children. C．His work. D．His students.
48．What can be the best title for the text？
A．Keep on Dreaming B．The Meaning of Life
C．Motivation from Life D．Give the Last Lecture
【答案】45．A
