      Taiwanese singer Stefanie Sun (孙燕姿) looks just like any other young girl. She has short hair, a clear
face and a sweet smile. However, there is something about her that makes her very special: her voice. No
one else can sing like she can. 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.

　　In Glacier National Park, which is in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, there once roamed a little deaf Indian boy. He loved to wander in the forest, and made friends with the animals who lived there. Since he loved animals, he would observe them intently and learn their habits. This little Indian boy's name was John Lewis Clarke.

　　John Lewis Clarke's grandfather was a graduate from West Point and a captain in the U. S. Army. He was married to the daughter of a Blackfoot Indian Chief and adopted by the tribe. His son, John Lewis Clarke's father, also married an Indian princess, the daughter of Chief Stands Alone. Sadly, John's grandfather was later killed by Indians of another tribe near Helena, Montana.

　　John Lewis Clarke was not born deaf. He became ill at a young age with scarlet fever. Though he survived, he could no longer hear the sounds that the forest animals made. He could not hear his Indian friends when they called to him. Scarlet fever had caused him to lose his hearing. His Indian friends gave him the name Cutapuis (Cu-ta-pu-ee) which means, “man who talks not.”

　　Because John could not talk, he could not tell his parents about his many animal friends in the forest and the exciting things that he saw, but he found another way to express himself. He made figures of them out of clay(粘土) from the river banks. Later, when he was older, he learned to carve things out of wood. He loved to carve animals. With an axe and a pocket knife, he carved a life-sized image of a bear from a cedar trunk. The bear looked so real, the only thing missing was its growl.

　　When John was old enough to go to school, his parents sent him to the Fort Shaw Indian School. However, since he needed special education, he was transferred to a school for the deaf at Boulder, Montana. He also attended the School for the Deaf at Devil's Lake, North Dakota. When he was older, he enrolled at St. Francis Academy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he studied wood carving. While he was still in his teens, John returned to Montana and opened a studio. He began to carve all the animals he had known very well in his childhood, and offer them for sale. He made models of animals out of wood, clay, and stone. He painted pictures using water colors and oils, and did excellent pen and ink drawings. He began to make a name for himself as an artist.

　　John spent most of his 89 years at his home studio in Glacier Park. Every year when the park season was over, he continued his work in Great Falls, Montana, his second home. Many important people bought John's work. John D． Rockefeller, Jr., the famous multimillionaire, was one of them. John's work was on exhibit in many places in this country. John died on November 20,1970. In his life-time, he literally carved his way to fame.

1．John probably started to use American Sign Language as soon as ________.

[　　]

A．he became deaf

[　　]

A．the environment he grew up has influenced him

[　　]

A．John forgot to add one more thing

B．the bear was missing

C．the bear missed growling

D．the bear looked perfect except that it could not make any sound

     A Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@", saying the character best represents their love for the child,
according to an official trying to whip the national language into shape. The unusual name stands out especially
in Mandarin (普通话), which has no alphabet and instead uses tens of thousands of multi-stroke (多笔画的)
characters to represent words. "The whole world uses it to write emails, and translated into Chinese it means
'love him'", the father explained, according to the deputy chief of the State Language Commission Li Yuming.
     While the @ symbol is familiar to Chinese email users, they often use the English word "at" to sound it out.
With a drawn-out "t", this sounds something like "ai ta", or "love him", to Mandarin speakers. Li says the name
is an extreme example of people's increasingly adventurous approach to Mandarin, as commercialization and the
Internet break down conventions (习俗).
     Another couple tried to give their child a name that in English sounds like "King Osrina".
     Li did not say if officials accepted the "＠"name. But earlier this year the government announced a ban on
names using Arabic numerals and foreign languages. Sixty million Chinese face the problem that their names
use ancient characters so uncommon that computers cannot recognize them and even fluent speakers are left
scratching their heads, said Li, according to a transcript on the government website. One of them is the former
Premier Zhu Rongji, whose name has a rare "rong" character that gives newspaper editors headaches.

1. Why did the Chinese couple try to name their baby"@"?

[ ]

A. Because they wanted their baby to have a special name.
B. Because they wanted their baby to haw an international name.
C. Because the @ symbol is familiar to email users all over the world.
D. Because die ＠symbol sounds something like "ai ta", which means "love him" in Chinese.

2. It can be inferred that _____.

[ ]

A. Li Yuming is in favor of the baby's name
B. many Chinese people use Arabic numerals in their names
C. a majority of the Chinese people are having longer names
D. there is little possibility for the "@" name to be officially accepted

3. The underlined part in the passage probably means "_____".

[ ]

A. even native speakers find it hard to accept these strange names
B. even native speakers can't find these characters in their computers
C. even those who are expert at Chinese can't recognize these characters
D. even those who are expert at Chinese find it hard to accept these names

     Saying "thank you" is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all,
we're brought up to be polite, and it is important to make a good impression upon other people-especially across national divides.
     So, what exactly are you supposed to say when "thank you" is only the 20th most popular way to
express gratitude? According to a recent survey, 19 other ways of expressing appreciation finished ahead of "thank you" in a poll of 3,000 people.
     Pollsters(民测调查员) found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal "cheers", while
others liked to use such expressions as "ta", "great" and "nice one".
     So, just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks?
   Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself. "Cheers", despite its popularity, is considered an
informal way to say thank you - and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it.
     For instance, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a "cheers" by way of thanks is not only
appropriate to the situation, it is also culturally accurate.
     "Ta", originated from the Danish word "tak", was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and
is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as "nice one", and "brilliant".
Interestingly, one word that didn't make it into the top 20 was "thanks", Thank you is shorter, more
informal cousin.
     "Thanks" can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between the formality of "thank you" and the
downright relaxed "cheers".
     Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. Again, the words themselves
offer the clue as to when best to use them.
      For example, words like "awesome", "brilliant" and "you star" featured highly in the new poll and they
can hint at both your pleasure at someone's action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are
on the receiving end of a "new" thank you, you can respond with a simple "no problem", or "sure".
     Of course, in certain circumstances, a simple wave, nod or smile may be appropriate. For instance, if
a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver's consideration.
      Sometimes, formality is necessary, and "thank you" is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.
     Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline. People are tired of
seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment. So don't think your "thank you" is clumsy or awkwardly formal. The chances are, if you said "thank you", you made someone's day. You star.

1.We can tell from the results of the poll that _______.

A. people are unconcerned about politeness nowadays.
B. "thank you" remains the best expression of gratitude.
C. there is a variety of expressions of appreciation.
D. there are more formal expressions than informal ones.

2. According to the passage, which is an appropriate response to "awesome" or "brilliant"?

A. Thanks.
B. Sure.
C. Nice one.
D. Cheers..

3. In the last paragraph the author encourages people to .

A. show their gratitude to others.
B. behave themselves well.
C. continue their acts of kindness.
D. stop worrying about bad manners.

4. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?

A. How to Appear More Polite.
B. Ways to Show Gratitude.
C. Never hesitate to Say "Thank You".
D. Good Manners in Decline!
