Move over Psy. There’s a new viral music video on the Internet that’s getting millions of people dancing and laughing. Psy is a singer who created Gagnam Style, a music video which featured a catchy tune and interesting dance.

The new music video called The Fox (What does the fox say?) has recently gone viral. At 123 000 000 views, it may even catch up to Gagnam Style. The video asks the question, “What does the fox say?” It’s a good question. And it seems, at least according to the music video, there is no good answer.

Actors in the video dress up like the animals they’re singing about. One of the brothers dresses up like a fox. There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit off-guard. The video’s appeal is the song’s simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌).

The makers of the video never expected the video to do well or even to be taken seriously. In fact, it started out as a joke. The song was written by two brothers from Norway, Vegard and Bard Ylvis ker. The brothers have their own late-night talk show in Norway. They thought the video would be so bad that it would give them something to talk about on their show.

On their website, they say the video was “supposed to entertain a few Norwegians for three minutes — and that’s all.” But people started loving it. Some people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.

The brothers have been guests on some major North American talk shows. They say they’re happy about the success of their video, but they know that tomorrow something else could come along and be even bigger.

1.What can be learnt about the music video invented by Psy?

A. It featured the traditional style of Korean music.

B. It was difficult for people to follow.

C. It was named after a new virus.

D. It could make people relax a lot.

2.Which of the following best describes the new music video The Fox?

A. It can catch the viewers’ heart easily by its amusing tune and dance.

B. It features the same story with the music video Gagnam Style.

C. It answers the question “What does the fox say?” exactly.

D. It has the real animals in the video.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that nowadays most people ______.

A. like to enjoy music with simple and easy style.

B. have difficulty in understanding the viral movie music.

C. are working hard for the advancement of classic music.

D. are tired of many music videos which are popularized through Internet too quickly.

How to Study for a Test or Final

The end of the term is drawing near，and that means final exams are on the way. 1.

The most important thing you can do is to give yourself plenty of time to prepare. Then follow this plan：

Start Early

Gather all the material you've received during the term. Read through your class notes twice.

Some things will sound familiar and some things will sound unfamiliar. That's normal.

Establish a Study Group or Partner.

Schedule at least one meeting time with a study partner or study group. If you can't completely get together，then exchange email addresses. 2.

Collect your old exams from the year (or semester) and make a photocopy of each one. Write out the test answers and copy each one again. Use Old Tests

To get the best results，you should make several copies of each old exam and keep taking the tests until you score perfectly on each one.

Build up Your Class Notes.

Organize your notes by date and make note of any missing dates/pages. Get together with a study partner or group to compare notes and fill in any missing material. 4. Everybody zones out once in a while. After you organize your new set of notes，underline any key words formulas，themes，and concepts.

Make yourself a new practice test with fill-in sentences and term definitions. Print out several tests and practice several times. 5. Then exchange.

Make Use of Old Assignments.

Gather some old assignments and redo the exercises. Review the exercises until you can every question easily.

A. Instant messages will work well, too.

B. Have a set of practice tests.

C. How can you give yourself a chance to improve your scores?

D. You might find one that makes something clear for the first time.

E. Ask the members of your study group to make practice tests as well.

F. Don’t be too surprised if you missed key information from the lectures.

G. Have your friend or study partner raise questions and compare them.

Should we say goodbye to chivalry (骑士精神) in the age of sex equality?

Chivalry began as a response to the violence of the Middle Ages. PierMassimo Forni, the founder of the Civility Institute, says chivalry “as a form of treatment inspired by the sense that there was something special about women and that they deserve added respect.”

Today “chivalry” is often used as a term for “gentlemanly” behavior, related to “fair sex”, honor, courage and loyalty.

But we can hardly see chivalry nowadays with many women demanding to be treated equally in the workplace.

According to a 2013 survey carried out by the British Daily Mail, only one in seven men will offer their seat to a woman on a bus or train; over three-quarters of men don’t offer to help carry a heavy bag or suitcase for women.

In many cases, it’s not because these men are being insensitive, but on the contrary, they say they are unwilling to help women because they are worried about making them embarrassed.

These men may worry too much. According to the same survey, only seven percent of women view acts like holding open doors as unpleasant.

“Men seem confused by the modern ‘sex equality’ message”, psychologist and relationship expert Donna Dawson told the Daily Mail.

“This message was meant for the workplace and was never meant to replace good manners. Men will always be the stronger sex physically, so it is natural for them to show consideration for women.”

So, should the acts of chivalry be brought back? US writer Emily Smith says chivalry is what we should all long for. Many people are predicting the death of chivalry, but chivalry is not dead yet. Slowly but surely, chivalry is making a come-back.

1. The question at the very beginning of the passage is used to _____.

A. express the author’s curiosity

B. cause a heated discussion

C. introduce a controversial topic

D. solve a serious social problem

2.Which is NOT part of “chivalry”?

A. Violence. B. Loyalty. C. Courage. D. Honor.

3.Some men are not willing to help women because _____.

A. they are not sensitive enough

B. they misunderstood “sex equality”

C. they are afraid of women

D. they had no good manners

4.Emily Smith holds the view that _____.

A. some massages can make men confused

B. men should show consideration for women

C. “sex equality” will never replace good manners

D. chivalry is quite good and sure to come back

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is said “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels.

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means “fun”. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French, I meant that I would like some more, however to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, Thank you”.

1.The author’s Spanish friends wanted advice about _______.

A. some funny English stories

B. finding places to stay in England

C. driving their car on English roads

D. going to England by car

2.The author suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” because _______.

A. it would be convenient for them to have dinners and live

B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C. they would be able to practice their English in the house

D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

3.“NO VACANCIES” in English means _______.

A. no free rooms B. free rooms

C. not away on holiday D. they don’t live

4.If you see road sign that says “Diversion” in England, you will _______.

A. take the road and you will be excited

B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D. have to take a different road
