题目内容
GUESS what’s making 9 million US teenagers scream at the top of their voices this summer? It's not the Hulk or Iron man hitting someone across a room, but the catchy beat of the music in Disney's latest TV movie Camp Rock, which came out in the US on June 20. The show attracted more than 8.9 million viewers.
So how does Camp Rock attract so many viewers? One reason is that it features the hugely popular boy band the Jonas Brothers, whom all the girls seem to adore.
But what's the story?
Connect Three is a rock group. One member, Shane Gray (Joe Jonas）needs to get rid of his bad boy rocker image, so he's sent by fellow band members Nate (Nick Jonas）and Jason (Kevin Jonas） to a music camp as a guest instructor（指导）. The idea is the camp will help him clean up his act.
There he meets Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato）, a teenage girl with an extraordinary voice and a driving ambition（志向）to be a pop singer. However, she can only afford to be at the expensive camp by helping her mom work in the mess hall (食堂）between classes.
When Shane overhears Mitchie singing from behind closed doors, he sets out to find the girl with the beautiful voice.
One group of teenagers was really eager to watch the movie. The kids took their positions on the floor to countdown to show time. One of them, Leah Karrels, 16, even sang the movie's theme（主题歌）, We Rock. She explained that she's seen the trailer (预告片） so many times she knows the words by heart.
The girls cheered when the movie began, and for the next two hours the only time they got up was to run for chocolate ice cream cake from the freezer.
"I'm sure this is going to knock High School Musical off the shelves in stores. This is the next big thing," said Leah.

亮点激活精编提优100分大试卷系列答案How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.
