10．For Juan Manuel Pineda，it was a long way to succeed．
His story began in El Salvador，where he was born with something wrong with his mouth．He had great difficulty in speaking．At age 2，his family's home burned down．Pineda was injured，and his legs needed to be cut．His mother died when he was 8，and he spent years on the streets before he was taken in by an orphanage（孤儿院）．
Finally，at the orphanage，Pineda began to receive support and encouragement．He taught himself to play guitar．He began to perform with other musicians．Then the group went to Chicago，where Pineda，then 18，caught the attention of many people，who wondered what they could do to help him．
Shriners Hospitals offered him free medical care．A group called the Mulliganeers agreed to pay for Pineda's flights to and from El Salvador．
When he was in the hospital，Pineda began writing music，and wondered if he might be able to record his own album．Soon with the help of a musician，"The Sound of Gratitude（感激）"，was born．On October 15th，Pineda went to a Chicago club to play his new songs to strangers，and to the friends who had helped him come so far．
Pineda was amazed that he had come into such a good luck，after having so many years of hardship．"We have a saying in El Salvador，‘Suffer first，then enjoy．'I guess that's what's happening，"he said．

7．Sounds crazy？Fans across the UAE（阿联酋）are so excited as Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform at a stadium in Dubai on May 4．In less than 36 hours all the tickets available were sold out．
If you have a teenager lying under your roof，it's likely that she has spent your hard-earned cash on some concert tickets．Clare Smart，a researcher on teenage development in Dubai，has some ideas about the pop phenomenon．"Justin Bieber is a teenager himself and therefore teenagers feel a connection to him，in the songs that he sings，his hairstyle and how he dresses…he represents what many teenagers would like for themselves，such as the latest clothing trends，exciting travel and high earnings．Besides，it gives teenagers the feeling of being part of a group and a shared experience with other teenagers who have the same interest in a particular celebrity…"says Smart．
    It's easy to be sheltering as a parent and it's a good idea to talk to your teenagers about their idols，find out what they like about them and why．"You could accompany your teenagers to a concert or listen along to the latest song in the car with them，"suggests Smart．"This shows that you are interested in the things they consider to be important．"
Sometimes，however，a normal level of interest slips into an obsession （痴迷） and then it becomes a cause for concern．It is now considered a personality disorder，which is closely related to higher levels of depression，anxiety and stress．In practice，teenagers who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents．
    The good news，however，is that there is plenty that parents can do to prevent their teenagers from becoming overly obsessed with those so called celebrities．Let them know what their real life is like behind the story，and they can see these celebrities in a new angle．
46．What does the first paragraph intend to tell the reader？C
A．How expensive the concert tickets are．
B．Why teenagers love music concerts．
C．How popular Justin Bieber is．
D．What idols teenagers worship．
47．According to Clare Smart，Justin Bieber represents teenagers'A．
A．dreams           B．families         C．friendship           D．trouble
48．According to Para 2，teenagers can getCfrom worshiping an idol．
A．a knowledge of pop culture                   B．an easier way to become famous
C．a sense of belonging                         D．a closer relationship with parents
49．What does Clare Smart tell US in Para 3？D
A．Teenagers and parents often have a tense relationship．
B．Parents always have the same interests as the teenagers．
C．Celebrity worship exist among different age groups．
D．Parents should understand and protect the teenagers．
50．If teenagers are overly obsessed with celebrities，theyB．
A．will establish a connection with their idols
B．actually suffer from a personality disorder
C．often see themselves as a particular celebrity
D．always care too much about their friends．
14．All of us exist in‘bodies'of different shapes，heights，colors and physical abilities．The main reasons for the differences are genetic，and the fact that people's bodies change as they age．However，a huge range of research indicates that there are social factors too．
Poorer people are more likely to eat‘unhealthy'foods，to smoke cigarettes and to be employed in physically difficult work or the opposite：boring，inactive employment．Moreover，their housing conditions and neighbourhoods tend to be worse．All of these factors impact upon the condition of a person's health：the physical shapes of bodies are strongly influenced by social factors．
These social factors are also closely linked to emotional wellbeing．People with low or no incomes are more likely to have mental health problems．It is not clear，however，whether poverty causes mental illness，or whether it is the other way around．For example，certain people with mental health issues may be at risk of becoming homeless，just as a person who is homeless may have an increased risk of illnesses such as depression．
There are other types of social factors too．Bodies are young or old，short or tall，big or small，weak or strong．Whether these judgments matter and whether they are positive or negative depends on the cultural and historical context．In fact，the culture of different societies promote very different valuations of body shapes．What is considered as attractive or ugly，normal or abnormal varies enormously．Currently，for example，in rich societies the idea of slimness is highly valued，but historically this was different．In most societies the ideal body shape for a woman was a‘full figure'，while in middle-aged man，a large stomach indicated that they were financially successful in life．
Sociologists are suggesting that we should not just view bodies and minds in biological terms，but also in social terms．The physical body and what we seek to do with it change over time and society．This has important implications for medicine and ideas of health．Thus，the idea of people being‘overweight'is physically related to large amounts of processed food，together with lack of exercise，and is therefore a medical issue．However，it has also become a mental health issue and social problem as a result of people coming to define this particular body shape as‘wrong'and unhealthy．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）
78．Besides social factors，what are the other two reasons for differences in bodies？Genes and aging．
79．The social factors are likely to have a great effect on people'sphysical healthandmental health．
80．Valuations of body shapes change withculture and history．
81．The"This"in the last paragraph refers toviewing bodies and minds in social terms．

12．Flash Mob：The Pop Culture
If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station，you don't need to feel surprised．They are a flash mob．Who are they？Are they mobs （暴民）？（71）A Actually，a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place，do something unusual for a brief period of time，and then quickly separate．
A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks．（72）F At a predetermined time，they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books，coming together to look at the sky，waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30seconds．Then，they quickly disappear before the police can arrive．
Bill Wasik，senior editor of Harper's Magazine，organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3，2003  at Macy's department store．More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy's department store，gathering around an expensive carpet．Following this flash mob，about 200people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds．（73）E
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people．Such an activity might seem amusing，but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place．（74）G They also have enormous economic potential，such as using flash mobs to advertise a product．
（75）C People use it to do many things．For example，in 2009，Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him．Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool．They were singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together．And in another example，some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words．
Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory．
Don't be confused by their name．
People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities．
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular．
Using mobile phones，the flash mob can change their gathering place．
A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises．
The messages may be forwarded to friends，who forward to more people．
Undoubtedly，flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction．
