S.H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true? "cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die hard S.H.E. fan.
After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S.H.E.’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella.Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers’ English names.
Last week S.H.E. announced they would perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15.
At their Shanghai show on October 30,hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed.
" I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God that, although my parents don’t understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show," said Peng about the Shanghai performance.
It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have made audiences much excited.In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia.
When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000,none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar." We had never met before, and we didn’t talk at all at the beginning," recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said," Our average looks and not so expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."
"It’s really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像). Nothing but magical, "she said.

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they always want to control them; that they do not trust them to deal with problems; and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, and music. Actually this is not what they really intend to do. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or clothes or hairstyles make their parents angry, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you do not obey orders, and are proud because you do not want your parents to say yes to what you do. If they do, it looks as if you are unfaithful to your own age group. But in that case, you will probably think that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. If you plan to control your life , co-operation can be part of that plan. You can persuade others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. Get them to feel your sense of responsibility and initiative so that they will allow you to do what you want to do.
60. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. children’s complaints about their parents
B. misunderstandings between children and their parents
C. the control of the parents over their children
D. children’s ability to deal with problems
61. The underlined word “irritate” in this passage is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A. to make someone excited B. to make someone angry
C. to please someone D. to comfort someone
62. Children choose to have certain strange clothes and hairstyles because they _______.
A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own
B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D. want to make their parents angry
63. Children do not want their parents to say yes to whatever they do because they _______.
A. have already been accepted into the adult world
B. feel that they are better in a small way than the adults
C. are not likely to win over adults
D. have a desire to be independent
C
She must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words “Seize the moment”. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something new.
My sister died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. I can’t remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunch. She would say to me: “I can’t. I have clothes on the line.” “My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday.” “I had a late breakfast.” “It looks like rain.” Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible.
Life is not made up of thing that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventure. As we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longer. Perhaps one morning, when we awaken, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of “I’m going to”, “I plan to” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
My seize-the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new start. She keeps an open mind about new ideas. Her great interest in life is contagious. With her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoes.
I have not touched ice cream for 10 years. The other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.

Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.
The index(指数) of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, sexual equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life'.
Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic jam, sexual inequality and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8. 07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the worst, picking up only 3.89 points.
"Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued," the report said, "some of the factors connected with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions and family values partly weaken the positive result. ”
"Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation(保留)of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life."
No. 2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.
72. According to the passage, an Irish man may feel happy because of the country's economic development as well as ________.
A. the traffic condition
B. the cost of living
C. the health service
D. the preservation of traditional values
73. It is implied in the passage that ________.
A. the richer a country is, the happier its people may feel
B. the poorer a country is, the happier its people may feel
C. people may feel happier in a country best combining the new and the old
D. traditional values are the main concern of most people in terms of happiness
74. Zimbabwe lost its points because of ________.
A. its extreme poverty
B. its breakdown of traditional family values
C. its severe hot weather
D. its lack of food and political insecurity
75. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?
A. China ranked 60th in economic development.
B. China needs more efforts to improve its living quality.
C. China ranked 60th in the world in per capita GDP.
D. China was one of the worst places to live in for 2005.

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about a recent discussion our class have had on whether or not university students should be financially independent.
60% of the students think that university students don’t have to be financially independent, because trying to make money will affect their studies. They also think that they can repay their parents in the future.
25% of my classmates hold the view that doing part-time jobs will help one gain work experience and learn more of society. Besides, when students find it hard to make money, they won’t waste their money any longer.
15% of the students, including myself, partly agree with the opinions above. Personally I think that as grownups, we should not depend on our parents any more. However, if our parents can afford to pay the tuition for us, we should put our studies in the first place.
Thank you for reading my letter
Yours,
Li Hua
