阅读下列短文,并做每篇后面的题目,从四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

William Lehmann was a writer. When he was a boy, writing came as naturally to him as walking. He enjoyed playing with words, in the same way that other boys played with a football. He wrote stories whenever he had the chance, stories that most of his teachers couldn't hope to write, with the experience of a person two of three times his age. He wrote some quite striking poems, too.

At school, William always did best in English exams in his school, but not in subjects like history. As he was never satisfied to stick to the facts, he preferred to imagine how things might have been.

At home, William was always writing. He wrote in bed; he wrote while the others were watching television, in the half darkness, he would even write at the breakfast table if his mother let him. What a quiet boy: different from others!

Five people are at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
First of all, there is Dr. Stone. He is a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quite country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a great deal about the city to which they are going.
Then there is “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks remarkable young, no more than fifty. She is on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
Then there is a man I don’t care for very much, the engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children’s various illnesses. She is on her way to join her husband in India.

You love Jay Chou's songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest

imagination—a career in music?

Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday.

Bieber sings ballads(民歌)and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn't think so. “If we truly want the best forAmerican children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber,” he writes. “After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16­year­old has thrown a candy­coated wrench (扭转) into Disney's heartthrob (甜心) assembly line by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for lovable pop songs.”

From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused near­riots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can't believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.

Interested in hockey, the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph. He doesn't need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star.

1.What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber's singing?

A.He didn't like it.          B. He liked it very much.

C.He didn't say anything.     D.He supported Justin Bieber.

2.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A.He had a happy family.

B.His family was very poor once.

C.His family was rich.

D.His family helped him a lot.

3.What's Justin Bieber's hobby?

A.Singing.          B.Hockey.       C.Signing.          D.Making records.

4.What's the best title of the passage?

A.Justin Bieber's overnight singing online.

B.Justin Bieber's common experience.

C.Justin Bieber's life.

D.Justin Bieber's records.
