In the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.

Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.

The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version（改写本）of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3”, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act.

Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing; the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high; the terrible dancing; the hips jerking（摇摆）to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well.

Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America. ”

Whatever it is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.

So, what does Hung think of this?

“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean ”

Now, he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour（魅力）or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.

What is the main idea of this passage?

       A．Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.

       B．Hung’s performance attracted the public eye.

       C．How an unsuccessful person became famous.

       D．Success sometimes does not require hard work.

Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________.

       A．his shirt and pants           B．his off-key singing

       C．his hips jerking        D．his excellent version

What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?

       A．William Hung.        B．Hung’s bad act.

       C．Hung’s website.              D．The public’s opinion.

Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung?

       a．The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.

       b．The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest.

       c．Hung became popular among Americans.

       d．Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.

       e．Three websites put Hung’s funny performance on the Internet.

       A．d, b, e, c, a     B．a, c, d, b, e      C．a, d, b, c, e      D．d, b, a, e, c

Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?

       A．His success was based on his own hard work.

       B．He attracted people’s attention in the contest.

       C．He was good-looking though he didn’t sing well.

       D．His character was completely different from other idols”

Many people say their most painful moments are saying goodbye to those they love. After watching Cheryl, my daughter-in-law, through the six long months her mother suffered towards death, I think the most painful 36 can be in the waiting to say goodbye.
Cheryl made the two-hour trip over and over to be with her mother. They spent the long afternoons praying, comforting, and retelling their 37 memories.
As her mother was getting 38, Cheryl always sat for hours 39 watching her mother sleeping. Each time she kissed her mother before leaving, her mother would say in 40, “I’m sorry you drove so far and sat for so long and I didn’t even 41 up to talk with you.”
Cheryl would tell her it didn’t matter, still her mother felt 42 and apologized at each goodbye 43 the day Cheryl found a way to give her mother the same reassurance(安慰) her 44 had given to her so many times.
“Mom, do you 45 when I made the high school basketball team?” Cheryl’s mother nodded. “For every game you’d 46 so far and sit for so long and I never even left the bench to play. Each time I felt 47 and apologized to you for wasting your time.” Cheryl 48 took her mother’s hand.
“Do you remember what you would say to me?”
“I would say I didn’t come to see you 49, I came to see you.”
“And you 50 those words, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I really did.”
“Well, now I say the 51 words to you. I didn’t come to see you 52. I came to see you.”
Her mother understood and smiled as she floated back into sleep.
Their 53 together passed quietly into days, weeks, and months. To the last day they cared each other in the 54, love given and received just by seeing each other.
A love so strong that, 55 in this deepened silence that followed their last goodbye, Cheryl can still hear her mother’s love.
