Fables are stories which pass down (遗传) from grandparents to parents and then to children. People can learn much from them. The characters are mostly animals. They can talk and act like humans.

Fairy tales are usually stories for children. They are often about magic characters, for example, fairies and gods. Sometimes the characters are animals.

When we talk about women stars, it seems that they are always young and beautiful with wonderful faces and bodies. However, a star, Susan Boyle, gave us a different idea in Britain′s Got Talent in 2009.

Simon Cowell, one judge (评委) in the talent show, got a big surprise at Ms Boyle′s singing. “She looked older and even a little uglier (更丑的) than other women singers. So I was thinking, ‘It may take less than one minute and I could go to have a cup of tea.' But everything became different when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream. She seemed to know we would get a big surprise and just did her best to sing. It was one of my favorite moments in my work,” Cowell said.

Someone put the performance (表演) on the Internet in 2009, and before long, the 48-year-old Scottish woman became one of the most popular stars around the world.

Ms Boyle said that she never wanted to change what she looked like. She said her friend wanted to help her with make-up (化妆)，but she didn′t agree.“I only wanted to show my most true side,” she added.

Ms Boyle also said how she found her talent for singing,“I wasn′t so good at my subjects at school, so singing was a good way to make myself feel good. I just kept singing and then I was more and more sure of myself.”

Watching TV is my hobby. I like watching TV very much because I think it has many advantages (优点).

First of all, watching TV is a good rest. After a day′s hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV can make us not tired any more because of the wonderful music and TV plays.

Second, watching TV is entertaining (娱乐的). There are many kinds of entertainments, such as sports activities, singing and dancing concerts all over the world at any time. It′s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time. We need about or over three hours to fly from New York to Pairs. But within just one second, TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Pairs by changing the channel (频道).

Most importantly, watching TV is educational. Our children can learn different kinds of subjects through the educational programs and it's easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian from a Russian teacher in Moscow. We can even learn how to behave (表现) well from TV plays. At the same time, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge (极大的) classroom.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph?

A. The TV can bring different parts of the world before us.

B. It′s easy for us to go to every place within a short time.

C. A fashion show is more interesting than an NBA game

D. More and more people prefer to go to Paris rather than New York.

2.According to the writer, what is the most important reason for watching TV?

A. We can enjoy ourselves. B. We can have a good rest.

C. We can see things we like. D. We can learn something useful.
