Although a sudden success provides quick fame, experts say not all the rising stars will have a promising future. The grassroots band Xu Ri Yang Gang, meaning rising sun in Chinese, suddenly became popular after uploading a video of them singing “In the Spring”. Actually, they have never been stopping struggling to realize their dreams. After that they were frequently invited to big media events in China, like the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. However, just as many thought they were about to go further, the original singer of the song “In the Spring” stepped in to prevent the band from performing his songs. Different from Xu Ri Yang Gang, Chinas rising star Liu Wei is considered to have more professional skills, enabling him to enjoy a long-lasting popularity. The armless pianist who plays the song “Hope” with his toes (脚趾) has won the champion of the television talent show Chinas Got Talent. Now, he is signed with Fremantle Media and Sony Music, and is kept busy everyday. He believes his determination to succeed makes him a hit. Another fairy tale story is the case of rising star Susan Boyle. She came to international public attention after appearing as a candidate on Britains Got Talent in 2009, singing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables. Her first album became the biggest selling album in the world in 2009, selling 9 million copies. As for Chinese grassroots stars, experts say besides big dreams, they need more original compositions to achieve big results.56. What would be the best title for the text? A. Rising grassroots stars. B. Comparison of grassroots stars. C. Ways of grassroots getting famous. D. differences between grassroots stars life.57. From the text we know that Xu Ri Yang Gang got popular through _. A. CCTV B. newspapers C. contests D. the Internet58. The underlined words “a hit” in Paragraph 5 most probably means “_”. A. a strike B. a success C. an achievement D. an influence59. It can be inferred from the text that _. A. grassroots stars cant have a promising future at all B. most of grassroots stars have professional skills C. grassroots stars need to focus more on their original works D. talent show is the only way for grassroots stars to get risingB Most people who move to a foreign country or culture may go through some form of culture shock, and its degree is determined by the differences between cultures, the anxieties to adapt to a new culture and the familiarity with the new culture, etc. If you go, for example, to a culture that is far different from your own, youre likely to experience culture shock more sharply than those who move to a new culture knowing the language and the customs of the new culture. It is important to understand and learn how to deal with culture shock if you are to adapt successfully to your new homes culture. There are four general stages of cultural adjustment, and being aware of them helps you understand that culture shock wont last long, a process you are going through rather than a constant situation. The first stage is usually referred to as the honeymoon stage. Upon arriving in a new environment, youll be interested in the new culture, everything will seem thrilling and everyone will seem friendly and helpful. During this stage you are merely taking in these impressions passively. But it isnt long before the honeymoon stage gives way to the second stage the withdrawal stage. The excitement you felt before is gone and problems arise. The language is hard to learn, people are unusual and unpredictable, friends are hard to make, and simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges. It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious and homesick, and you will probably find yourself complaining about the new culture or country. This is the stage called culture shock. At some point, if you can manage it well, youll transition into the next stage, the recovery stage, in which youll feel more confident functioning in the new culture. Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand. At this stage, youll deal with new challenges with humor rather than anxiety.60. According to the passage, culture shock can be _. A. dealt with more easily for some people B. reduced by learning the language alone C. avoided by knowing adjustment stages D. got rid of by learning just the customs61. The “honeymoon” stage probably refers to _. A. the first moth after the weddingB. the period of excitement C. the stage of adaptation D. the holiday for a newly-married couple62. Which of the following doesnt belong to the second stage? A. Becoming upset.B. Missing family. C. Feeling confident. D. Making complains.63. What would be probably discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. Consequences of culture shock. B. Challenges in a new country. C. Preparations for a new culture. D. The 4th stage of cultural adjustment.C Lets face it. No one drinks diet soda for the taste. People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those of people who didnt drink diet soda. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drinks, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler. The study was based on data from 474 participants in a larger, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years. While the findings were surprising, they also offer some explanations. Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet soda, they dont lose weight at all. “We werent seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers. So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet soda, and so over-compensate for the missing calories. A related study found some sweeteners（甜味剂）raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said study researcher Helen P. Hazuda, professor at the University of Texass school of medicine. “They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”64. People drink diet soda to _. A. enjoy its taste B. stay in fashion C. achieve weight lose D. gain more energy65. The new study suggests that drinking diet soda _. A. cause people to become heavier B. helps people to be healthier C. makes people much thinner D. offers people more calories66. We can learn from the passage that _. A. regular soda makes people lose more weight B. diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food C. diet soda does help reduce calories D. most blood diseases come from diet soda67. The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to _. A. sweeteners B. diet sodas and artificial sweeteners C. sodas D. diet soda drinkers and sweetener takersD As students enter the school building, they are easy targets of peer pressure. Students may become involved in activities that are d
