【题目】 Selena Gomez and I were scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up-both as a person (she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working full time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

【题目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to. make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

It is a rough world out there. Step outside of a shopping mall and you could break your leg 1(slip)on the doormat. Luckily, if the doormat failed to warn of coming danger, a successful lawsuit(官司) might compensate you for your troubles. Since the early 1980s, juries have begun holding more companies responsible for the customers' misfortunes.

Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident. Today, even ladders carry a label several inches long that 2(warn) among other things, that you might fall off. While warnings are often necessary for companies, many still feel uncertain whether those labels can protect 3 from legal responsibility if a customer is injured. Actually, about 50% of the companies lose when 4(take) to court by the injured customer.

Now the tide appears to be turning 5 personal injury claims continue to grow, some courts are beginning to side with defendants(被告), especially in cases6 a warning label probably wouldn't have changed anything. In May, Julie Nimmons, president of Schutt Sports successfully fought a lawsuit7(involve)a footballer who was paralyzed (t )in a game while wearing a Schutt helmet. " We are really sorry he has become paralyzed, 8 helmets aren't designed to prevent those kinds of injuries, "says Nimmons. The jury finally agreed that the nature of the game, not the helmet, was the reason for the injury. Meanwhile, the American Law Institute, a group of judges and lawyers, issued new guidelines stating that companies needn't warn customers of obvious dangers or annoy them with a lengthy list of possible ones 9information won't get buried in a sea of trivialities ( 琐事). If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on products might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not10 a protection against legal responsibility.
