　　Canadian millionairess Belinda Stronach lost her bid for the Conservative Party leadership on Saturday．

　　Economist Stephen Harper was chosen to lead the newly-merged right-wing party and will face off against Prime Minister Paul Martin's liberals in the national election in a few weeks' time．He got 50 percent support, easily defeating Stronach and former Ontario cabinet minister Tony Clement．

　　But for the 37-year-old Stronach, heiress to the car parts giant Magna International, this is a beginning rather than an end．Despite being a new comer to politics, she drew much attention during the campaign．

　　In 2002, Stronach was rated one of the world's most powerful women by Fortunemagazine with US ＄600 million to her name．At the time she was president and CEO of Magna International, the world's seventh biggest auto parts manufactures, which was founded by her father．

　　Stronach first joined the company board aged 23．In 1990, she married Don Walker, her father's former assistant, and the pair became Magna's power couple, with Walker rising to the rank of CEO in 1994．They had a son and daughter, now 12 and 10, before splitting in 1995．

　　Stronach has since married and divorced Johann Olav Koss, the Norwegian Olympic speed skater, and most recently was seen on the arm of former US president Bill Clinton providing tabloid gossip from Los Angeles to Frankfurt．Admirers describe Stronach as a younger, prettier version of Hillary Clinton．

　　Stronach replaced Walker as CEO in 2001 and became president of the company the following year．She resigned from both posts in January in order to compete for the leadership of the Conservative Party．

　　Stomach's defeat came despite spending millions of dollars on consultants and political advisers．But she says she will run for a seat in Parliament, ruling out both a return to Magna and a holiday．

In white shirt, blue pants, black cloth shoes and two pigtails (辫子), Jingqiu gives off an air of great “pure beauty” in Zhang Yimou’s new movie Under the Hawthom Tree.《山揸树之恋》

The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at the end of the “cultural revolution” (1966-1976), the pair manage to fall in love although they come form different political environments.

Before it was released, moviegoers speculated (推测) on just what this “pure beauty” could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu—a character so innocent that she believes simply lying on the same bed with a man will make her pregnant.

It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has “eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside”. Born of an ordinary worker’s family, the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.

While some teenagers consider such “pure beauty” illusory (虚幻的), others believe that it speaks of something soulful.

Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing.

“Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it doesn’t mean an ignorant or naive (天真的) person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn’t pass with time,” she said.

1. What image does Jingqiu give to audiences in the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree?

    A. A simple girl.           B. A pure girl.         C. A romantic girl.         D. A silent girl.

2. What kind of girl looks pure according to the passage?

    A. A girl in red shirt, blue pants, black leather shoes and two pigtails.

    B. A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.

    C. A girl who was born into an ordinary worker’s family.

    D. A girl wears accessories and make-up.

3. What’s the opinion of Tan Mengxi about purity?

    A. It is of whether someone is ignorant or naive.

    B. Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced.

    C. It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.

    D. Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn’t pass with time.

4. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?

    A. What makes a pure girl?

    B. A debate on the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree

    C. Opinions on the character Jingqiu

    D. It’s hard to find the character Jingqiu

5. When did the story in the movie happen？

    A. In the 1960s             B. In the 1980s

    C. In the 1970s             D. In the 1990s.

 

 

JAMES Brown, the legendary US singer known as the “Godfather of Soul”, died Christmas morning, 2006. he was 73.

Brown was one of the major musical influences of the last

50 years. He provided the basis for much of black music and

most of pop music with his early hits like. “Please, Please,

Please”. He essentially created funk（“疯客”音乐）with

mid-1960s songs such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag".

It won him a Grammy Award as best rhythm-and-blues song,

and it was only the beginning of Mr. Brown's rhythmic

breakthroughs. His rapid-footed dancing inspired Michael Jackson and Prince. Rap stars of recent years, such as Fat Boys and Public Enemy, have all borrowed his lyrics and rhythms.

Brown's songs in the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as "Hot Pants" and "Make It Funky", mixed the sophistication(复杂) of jazz-style arrangements with raw funk. With these songs, Brown established himself as the godfather not just of soul, but of all subsequent styles of dance music: funk, disco, hip hop.

"He made soul music a world music," said Al Sharpton, who toured with Brown in the 1970s and imitates his hairstyle to this day. "What Brown was to music in terms of soul and hip hop, rap, all of that, is what Bach(巴赫, 德国作曲家) was to classical music. He put everybody on a different beat, a different style of music."

Amid the civil rights movement of the 1960s Mr. Brown used his fame and music for social messages. He released "Don't Be a Dropout" in 1966 and met with Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey to promote a stay-in-school initiative. Two years later "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud" insisted, "We won't quit movin' until we get what we deserve."

1.The passage is mainly about _______.

         A．black music in the US
