Forbes Magazine reports that at least fifty rock stars have incomes between two millions dollars per years. “It doesn’t make sense. Says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was popular, in 1950s. “ Performers aren’t worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is. But the rock stars’ admires seems to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year fro records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person. Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972 one of the luckiest was Kon Mclean, who wrote and sang “American Pie . Mclean writes his own music, so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song. Neil Young who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000, each of whom has paid five dollars for a ticket. After paying expenses, Young leaves with about $18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening. How do the rock stars use their money ? What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water? Most of the young stars simply show the money around . England’s Elton John gave someone a 38,000 Rolls Royce car and bought himself 5,000 pairs of eyeglasses, then lighted up and spelt E-L-T-O-N. Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane. Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys. Then when they need money again, they do another tour. They save no money and live from hand to mouth. In the end the rock stars’ life is unrewarding. After two or three years riches and fame are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely ex-performer spends his remaining years trying to attract strangers. New stars have arrived to take his place.

阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　The volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. Maybe you have seen pictures of these “fireworks” of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of fire.” Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes (灰) high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?

　　The earth is made up of many layers (层). The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂声) in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.

　　Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cools and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.
