While most teenagers were studying to get into a top university,one 19-year-old was starring in his first movie,Blue Gate Crossing.It was a film about love on campus and it was well received in Taiwan.Many say it was this film that put Bolin Chen in position for his later glittering career in show business.

In fact.it was not until he played a troubled young man in the movie Buddha Mountain three years ago that he regained his passion for acting.

While being called a“youth idol”may seem like a compliment,it is a title that Chen has tried to shake off.He believes that “a youth idol means you simply rely on your appearance,not your acting talent”.

The most important thing for Chen now is to take more initiative(主动性)as an actor.“To me,an actor is like a chess piece,waiting for producers and directors to put him somewhere they want him to be.”Chen,29,told NetEase.“But I want to be the game player.”He even took his ambition a step further,setting tip his own production company.

But just when Chen started to locus on off-screen work,his life on screen took another turn.He won the title of Best Leading Actor at the 2012 Golden Bell Awards on Oct 26 for his role in hit TV drama In Time with You.When asked why he accepted the part,which is another “youth idol”role.he told Yangcheng Evening News:“I played it for my grandfather.He tells everyone around that I am an actor.but I used to play in movies,not TV series.Now he is in the hospital.I hope that he can watch my performances by simply turning on the TV.”

Chen is a veteran(老手)in the entertainment world,but unlike many stars,he hasn’t led a luxurious(奢华的)life.He doesn’t even have a car but walks,rides a bike or takes a taxi whenever he goes out.He doesn’t have a house,either.“Everyone will eventually find some place to live anyway,why bother to buy property (地产)?”he asked Taiwan magazine Business Today.

It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional(例外的)to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.

Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.

1.What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?

A. He thinks it is artificial.

B. He appreciates it very much.

C. He thinks little of it.

D. He thinks it goes too far.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The author think it's unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.

B. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.

C. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.

D. German men never treat a woman to dinner.

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life.

B. In Germany, passengers sometimes say “thank you” to bus drivers.

C. English drivers often say “thank you” to passengers when they get off the bus.

D. Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen.

4.The author develops the text through the method of .

A. giving comments

B. telling stories

C. making comparisons

D. giving reasons/examples

We lived in a very quiet neighbourhood. Early one evening, my wife asked me to go to the to get some soft drinks. My daughter Holly had just got her permit, so I asked her to drive my truck for the shopping instead, as a chance of .

“Oh, my God!” I ran to the door, I found that the truck had been brought to a stop.

The had happened in our own driveway. With experience, Holly had my truck hit our garage wall. , Holly was unhurt, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.
