turn her singing hobby into a career. her agent used to take her to lots of auditions（试唱）at different recording studios but the taiwanese girl was always turned down for looking too young and small. chang s talent was at last recognized in 2002 by the decca record company. when she was offered a contract she burst into tears. two years later chang, 21, is a star. with the release of her debut album “over the rainbow” this year, she won the “most promising new artist in taiwan” at the cctv-mtv music awards in july. in september she won the “best new artist” in the fourth chinese music billboard awards.“you just cant believe that such an amazingly powerful voice comes from such a small body,” said musicians after hearing chang sing “over the rainbow.” “its such a special voice. you cannot forget it.” chang can hit very high motes（高音）clearly and beautifully.her tunes make chang stand out from the numerous newcomers in the music world. but mainland fans also know her for her girl-next-door performances in taiwanese tv dramas, “my mvp valentine” and “at dolphin bay”.but few people know that while filming her first tv series, chang acted so badly that the director wanted to fire her. at one time it took her a record of 27 attempts to shoot one scene.“i cried my heart out when i went back home.” change said, “but i know that defeat is often a temporary condition. by giving up you remain defeated.”though she looks very girlish, chang said she has a boys personality. “the way i release pressure is to have a sound sleep. when i wake up, everything is new.”26. the first paragraph mainly tells us .a. changs hard way to success b. changs appearancec. chang was looked down upon d. chang has no talent in singing27. when changs talent was recognized, she .a. felt doubtful b. was too astonished c. was full of sadness d. was mixed with various feelings28. what musicians said shows .a. chang has a common voice b. chang isnt suitable to singc. they think highly of

worked hard d. based her success on continuous effortsb have you eaten too much over the holidays? you should try fidgeting for a while. those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you dont want to) is an important way of burning up calories . american researchers have found that some peoples squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals several miles of slow running each day. the scientists, based at the national institute of healths laboratory in phenix, arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim. in one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. by the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. however, others had burned up only 100 calories. the researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than thin people do.31. which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of “fidgeting”?a. scratching and twitching b. squirming and wiggingc. slow running d. moving ones body nervously32. according to the scientists, the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that _ .a. thin people burn up less calories than fat peopleb. fat people burn up more calories than thin peoplec. those who burn up more calories than others will be thinnerd. those who fidget more than others will be thinner 33. scientists found in the experiment that _ .a. the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin people when they fidgetb. some peoples fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some peoples fidgeting burned up less than 100 caloriesc. slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin mend. thin men fidget more than fat men34. if someone is thin in a pleasant way, we say they are _.a. skinny b. bony c. slim d. underweight35. scientists think a fidget habit to be _.a. a way to lose fat b. a nervous habit annoying the people aroundc. a better exercise than slow running d. a habit of thin peoplec what makes one person more intelligent than another? what makes one person a genius, like the brilliant albert einstein, and another person a fool? are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? these are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.we know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. in some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. it needs exercise. mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. the children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. if, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. according to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. so it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “that was a very clever thing you did” or “you are such a smart child”.36. the words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean_ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.a. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding b. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingc. great and important; common d. hopeful and helpful; careless37. according to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _.a. a normal person; a funny person b. a strong person; a weak personc. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person d. a famous person; an ordinary person38. a person _ is more likely to become a genius.a. whose parents are clever b. often thinking about difficult problemsc. often helped by his parents and teachers d. born with a good brain and putting it into active use39. it is better for parents _.a. to praise and encourage their children more oftenb. to be hard on their childrenc. to leave their children alone with nothing to dod. to give their children as much help as possible40. which of the following is not true according to the article?a. parents play an important part in their childrens growth.b. the less you use your mind the duller you may become.c. intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.d. what makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.第二节 信息匹配
