face and a sweet smile. However, there is something about her that makes her very special: her voice. No
one else can sing like her. Now, Sun is a bright star. She has released many albums (专辑).
Sun was born in Singapore. When she was a child, her father told her: "A person should always be good
at something in life, so they have something to do for a hobby." Sun chose to learn to play the piano when
she was only five. Then, she took up kick-boxing (搏击操) because she felt she was thin and wanted to
make herself stronger.
She often sings about the pain and happiness of growing up. The simple but true feelings in her music
are loved by teens. "Sun may be a star, but she seems like a normal girl. She is close to us," said Zhu Liying,
15, a Beijing student. "Her songs give me courage."
Eventually, the star was tired because she had worked so hard. She stopped singing for a while and had
a one-year holiday to travel. "I won"t give up singing. I just want a rest and to try something new. I hope to
make better music when I come back," Sun said then.
Now she is working hard again to let her fans hear more beautiful music.

举一反三
when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately (幸运地) he had a strong-willed, caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him
many times, "Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe." She told him not to be
dependent on others, including his mother. "You have to earn success," said she. "All the people who work
hard don"t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard."
These words came from a woman with less than a third-grade education.She worked hard as a cook for
two years to save enough money to take her son-then 15-to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land (乐土) that black southerners were looking for. John"s
mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power
of words-as an editor (编辑) of the newspaper at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine
for the blacks.
While others discouraged him, John"s mother offered him more words to live by: "Nothing beats a failure
but a try." She also let him pawn (典当) her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always
keeps his mother"s words in mind: "Son, failure is not in your vocabulary." Now John H. Johnson is one of
the 400 richest people in America.
B. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown, while life in Chicago would be better for them
Negroes
C. there were no schools in their hometown
D. John needed more education and he could go to high school there
B.The mental (精神的) support from a great mother
C.The importance of a good education
D.The key to success for blacks
B. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you try
C. a try is always followed by a failure
D. nothing but a try can help you out of failure
$30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only
20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA.
At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for
Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front
of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It"s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she
goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take
care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into
the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in"Austin Power 3" this year and she is
filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.
For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her
movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it
for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters.
B. around 20
C. in their 30s
D. in their 40s
B. a special person
C. Britney Spears
D. a person interested in money
B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.
C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney"s own story.
D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.
B. for the enjoyment
C. for money
D. to be more famous
needed." Nate left the building filled with despair. By the time he reached home, he was in a deep depression.
When he entered his house, he blurted out to his wife Sophia, "I lost my job. I am a complete, absolutely
failure." A tense silence followed. Then a smile crept across Sophia"s face. "What great news!" she responded,
"Now you can write the book you have always wanted to write."
"But I have no job and no prospect of a job," he objected, completely without hope. "If I struggle to be an
author, then what will we live on? Where will the money come from?" Sophia took her husband by the hand
and led him to the kitchen. Opening a drawer, she took out a box that was full of cash. "Where on earth did
you get this?" Nate gasped."To whom does it belong?"
"It"s ours!" Sophia replied. "I always know that one day you would become a great writer only if you
were given the chance. From the money you gave me for housekeeping every week, I have saved as much
as I could so you would have your chance. Now there is enough to last us a whole year."
What a surprise! What encouragement! What a wife! The unemployed husband did concentrate on writing
that year, and the novel he wrote became a literary masterpiece (杰作). The book is The Scarlet Letter. Sophia
had an even greater achievement, and she turned Nathaniel Hawthorne from a poor clerk into a world famous
master.

Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told
Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as
she exercised and trained-and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet
is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business
reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started
acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult (成人) roles and
won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who"s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966).
Taylor"s fame (名声) and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to
demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra-the highest
pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been
lucky. She has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any
more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others - several years ago,
she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.
B. was too young
C. did not play well enough
D. did not show much interest
B. famous actresses
C. successful when very young
D. rich and kind-hearted
B. 28
C. 31
D. 34
B. turning herself into a legend
C. collecting money for the poor
D. going about research and education work
