题目内容

Lavigne, who married in July 2006, set foot in film with Fast Food Nation and The Flock, before releasing her chart-topping third album（专辑）The Best Damn Thing. Despite her punk rock pose and her occasionally impolite public behavior, singer Avril Lavigne is sure sensitive about one thing—her reputation . 

In an open letter on her official web site, Lavigne responds to public views that her hit single”

“Girlfriend,” from her 1atest album The Best Damn Thing, was copied from a 1979 song called “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” by a new wave group called the Rubinoos. The group’s songwriters, Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer, have gone to 1aw against the singer. “I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words,” Lavigne blogs. “All songs share similar song words and emotions. As humans we speak one language.” In fact, Lavigne 1ists several songs, which are similar in words. “Simply, I have been falsely accused of copying their song. I have done nothing wrong and there is no sense of their claim,” she writes.

The Rubinoos’ accusation is not the first time that Lavigne’s song－writing practices have  been called into question. In a recent interview with Performing Song-writing Magazine,   Canadian singer—songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk discusses cooperating with Lavigne. And she tells the magazine that she gave Lavigne the song “Contagious”, which. she claims，appears on The Best Damn Thing. On the album，however, the song is owned only by Lavigne and the song－writing partner Evan Taubenfeld.

“I was going to be a bigger person and not reply when I read Chantal Kreviazuk’s article,” Lavigne writes. “Our songs have no similarities or opposite meanings, i. e. different words, different tunes, different styles. There are hundreds of songs out there with the title ‘Contagious’.”  Lavigne adds: “I am not going to sit here and defend my writing skil1s. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I know who I am and what I have done and succeeded in and no one can take that away from me.”

1．The best title of the passage should be________.

       A．I Never Steal Music                          B．I Defend My Skills

       C．I Never Give Up                                D．I Know Who I am

2．According to the writer of the passage, Lavigne seems to be a little bit_________.

The Magic Number

       There are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boil down to two biggies: education and money．

Odds（可能性） are that by 25 you're also supporting yourself, so there's less incentive（刺激; 鼓励）for you to rush into marriage because you're seeking financial security from him．But the marriage-related benefits of working and having money of your own go beyond feeling secure．Learning to budget your cash carefully when you're single will help you avoid financial problems-one of the main causes of couple fights-for the rest of your life．
