　　The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee．Then the labor pains come．Every five minutes…every minute．But Complications arise during delivery．Hours of labor．Would a C-section be required?

No children are allowed．” The mother rises up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line．“He is not leaving until he sings to his sister! ” Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside．He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live．And he begins to sing．In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings：

　　“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray-”

　　Instantly the baby girl responds．The pulse rate becomes calm and steady．

　　Keep on singing, Michael．“You never know, dear, how much I love you．Please don't take my sunshine away-“ The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr．

　　Keep on singing, Michael．“The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms…” Michael's little sister relaxes as rest, healing rest, seems to sweep over her．

　　Keep on singing, Michael．Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse．Karen glows．“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine．Please don't, take my sunshine away．”

　　Funeral plans are scrapped．The next, day-the very next day-the little girl is well enough to go home!

　　The medical staff just called it a miracle．Karen called it a miracle of God's love!

　　Never give up on the people you love．Love is so incredibly powerful．

Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over S 30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood，a small town in Louisiana，is an international pop superstar with not only S 30 million but also a S 2 million house in LA．At her young age，she can look after her family financially all her life．

This year is a big year for Britney，she is currently on a 31 date tour of the US and every concert is a sell out．That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time．It’s a tiring schedule but brings great rewards．When touring，she goes to bed at around 1 a．m．and then has a lie-in until 1 p．m．or 2 p．m．the next day．Her philosophy (人生哲学) is to take care of the body and be relaxed but always make sure you work hard and have fun．

Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records，so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting．She made an appearance in “Austin Powers 3” in 2002 and she filmed a teenage comedy that was released in 2003．In this movie，she had a starring role．The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer．

In spite of the fact that she has not enjoyed the same popularity as a pop singer so far，she insists on trying more roles．For Britney，acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all．If her movies are successful，her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love，not for money．

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the well-known novels written by French author Victor Hugo. I have just finished this book.

Reflecting on the content of the book, I am most impressed by the architecture of that time, the churches that represented power and luxury. It shows how great architects’ appreciation of beauty and their capacity of turning their dreams into buildings.

When it comes to the heroine Esmerelda, I am deeply impressed by her beauty and kindness. I love her not only for her fascinating appearance but also because of her good mind and pitiful destiny. We can see her pure beauty from how she treats the goat, how she saves the jobless poet, and how she sacrifices for love. In my eyes, she is a lost angel in the world. However, all this perfect girl has received is to lead a vagrant (漂泊的) life. She lives in a gutter and is often made fun of by the so-called upper class of society. She is abandoned and threatened. In the end, Esmerelda sadly makes the decision to end her life.

Different lifestyles are displayed in the novel, like foolish Phoebus and the ugly hunchback Quasimodo. A striking comparison is demonstrated between Phoebus and Quasimodo. They both fall in love with the gypsy (吉普赛人) girl at the same time and both are refused. Their love is so strong and sincere, while one wants to conquer and the other chooses to sacrifice.

I think that may be the real charm of the famous novel. It tells not only a sad story, but also reveals human beings' pursuits of love and happiness. However, not everyone receives the same treatment in search of their love and happiness. What should we do when we are confronted with the darkness and unfairness of society? Everyone has different answers, as the characters in the novel do.

46. What struck the author most was _________.

A. the content of the book itself　　　　　　　 B. power and luxury

C. Esmerelda’s vagrant life　　　　　　　　　　 D. the architecture, Esmerelda’s beauty and kindness

47. What’s the author’s attitude towards Esmerelda?

A. criticizing and complaining. 　　　　　　　　　　 B. admiring and sympathetic.

C. disappointed and upset.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. regretful and sad

48. The underline word “ are confronted with” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _________.

A. are put up with　　　　　　　　　　 B. are faced with 　　　 C. are satisfied with 　　　　　 D. are covered with

49. The best tittle of the passage may be _________.

A. Classic novel still teaches us B. Charming Esmerelda

C. The Hunchback of Norte Dame D. Different lifestyles in the novel
