“S. H. E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true ” cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard(铁杆的) S. H. E. fan.
After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S. H. E.’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers’ English names.
Last week, S. H. E. announced they will perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15.
At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed.
“I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God that, although my parents don’t understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show.” said Peng about the Shanghai performance.
It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have thrilled audiences. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia.
When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. “We had never met before, and we didn’t talk at all at the beginning,” recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said, “Our ordinary looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girl next door, your singing sisters.”
“It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols. Nothing but magical.” she said.

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me ,eager to sell his bunches(串) of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts, When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change. So I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I realized my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to know the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.
I pulled over and rolled down my window, He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up ” I asked him. “I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help ” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” he said. “Thank you very much!”
When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he’s a cheat And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better Was I using him Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.
“Oh, gosh! Long time.” “Are you in school now ” I asked. He nodded. “That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong ” I asked. “It’s a gift.”
He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of banana and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you .”
78. What was the author’s first impression of the boy
A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.
B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.
C. He seemed younger than his age.
D. He seemed good at bargaining.
79. The second time the author met the boy, the boy ________.
A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts
B. wanted to express his thanks
C. asked him for money for his schoolbooks
D. tried to take advantage of him
80. Why did the author give his money to the boy
A. Because he had enough money to do that.
B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.
C. Because he held a higher position in society.
D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.
81. Which of the following best describes the boy
A. Brave and polite.
B. Kind and smart.
C. Honest and thankful.
D. Shy and nervous.
D
An expensive engagement ring hidden as a surprise in a chocolate Easter egg has given enormous pre-marriage tension(紧张) to a young Italian couple.
The £1,300 ring has gone missing after the fiancée, a 26-year-old law graduate, decided to exchange the plain chocolate egg for a milk chocolate one.
When he discovered what had happened, her husband-to-be, a 30-year-old plumber(水管工人), rushed back to the shop where he had bought the egg, only to find that it had already been resold.
The missing ring has put the relationship under considerable stress, with angry words from the donor(赠送者) and tears from the unlucky recipient(接受者).
“The event has caused a lot of tension, even resulting in a very strong slap in the face for the fiancée,” Luca Maori, a Perugia lawyer said yesterday. “She contacted me, because she was thinking about taking legal action against her fiancé for her minor physical injuries.”
Maori yesterday made an appeal(求助) on television to whoever found a gold ring with a heart-shaped diamond and three rubies in a plain chocolate Easter egg to return it to the shop. There is a handsome reward, he said. “I have all the legal papers ready to claim damages from the boyfriends, but we will wait for the moment.”
Maori said he was now more optimistic that the couple would stop arguing and get back together again than that they would recover the ring. For one thing, the fiancée has promised she will learn to like plain chocolate, he said.
So far the costly surprise has caused much more disappointment than the plastic toys usually found in chocolate eggs.
82. The fiancée exchanged the plain chocolate egg for a milk chocolate one because _____.
A. she thought the former was too expensive
B. she did not like plain chocolate
C. she found the gold ring missing
D. her husband-to-be asked her to
83. What was so special about the chocolate egg
A. It was plain chocolate.
B. It was an Easter egg.
C. There was a gold ring in it.
D. It was surprisingly expensive.
84. The underlined part in the 6th paragraph refers to ________.
A. the time when the couple meet in court
B. the couple’s wedding
C. the time when someone returns the ring
D. the time when the couple fight again
85. Which of the following is the correct order of what happened
a. The fiancé went to the shop, but someone else had bought the egg.
b. The fiancée saw that the egg was plain chocolate and decided to exchange it.
c. The fiancé put the ring inside the egg.
d. The Perugia lawyer made an appeal on television.
e. The fiancée took the egg back to the shop and got a milk chocolate one.
f. The fiancé bought a plain chocolate egg and an engagement ring.
A. b-e-a-f-c-d
B. f-c-b-e-d-a

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to introduce the Great Wall of China to you. The Great Wall of China is the longest wall in the world. It is also one of the wonders in the world. It has a history of over twenty centuries. It was first put up during the Spring and Autumn Period, and then Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. In the ancient days, the working people had to build the wall over wild and distant country, so it was made not only of stone and earth, but also of the flesh and blood of millions of men.
Today, the Great Wall of China has become a world famous place of interest not only to the Chinese people but also to people from all over the world.
