Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at nightBoys are found everywhereon top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocketWhen you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a mixture he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.A boy is a magical creaturehe is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”41The whole passage is in a tone of _Aambition and expectation Brespect and harmonyChumor and affection Dconfidence and imagination42By saying “he has five thumbs on each hand.”, the author means .Ahe has altogether five fingers Bhe is slow, foolish and clumsyChe becomes clever and smart Dhe cuts his hand with a knife43According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except _Aice cream Bcomic books CSaturday mornings DSunday schools44What does the writer feel about boys? AHe feels curious about their noise BHe is fed up with these creaturesCHe is amazed by their naughtiness DHe feels unsafe staying with themBSuleman DawoodS c h o o l o f B u s i n e s s“Become a part of the community dedicated to excellence and knowledge creation.”Lahore University of Management Science is a premier institution known for its academic excellence.

The fact that the album was celebrating its 10th week at No.1, and that each of the previous nine weeks it had sold over 100,000 copies, makes what Adele has achieved look miraculous. The last female singer to spend that long at No.1 in the UK was Madonna in 1990 with her greatest hits compilation, The Immaculate Collection.For Adele, the success of 21 is part of a perfect storm of talent, timing and a connection that went beyond gender, age and credibility. But what does it say about the state of the music industry? Does Adeles success signal a return to the MOR(适合大众口味的音乐) musical depression, when the likes of James Blunt dominated the charts? Her success may well lead to a great many similar acts aiming for an MOR audience, but thats more the fault of an industry desperate to recreate any kind of success by creating poor copies until the world shouts stop now.What seems to have set Adele apart is her apparent ordinariness, besides that incredible voice. While Gagaparades around in a dress made of meatand Beyonce orbits a world out of touch to the majority of most human beings, Adeles chain-smoking, girl-youd-like-to-go-to-the-pub-with persona stands out. Even for a British act, her ordinariness goes against trend, with fellow Jessie J adopting a very American habit of over-emoting, talking about a journey and making the idea of being a pop star seem fairly difficult. ks5uIts this universality and broad appeal thats helped her translate talent into sales. While the first single from 21, Rolling in the Deep, appealed to Radio 1 listeners and bloggers, the second single, Someone Like You, is so successful that silenced the grand O2 Arena during this yearsBrit Awards. The press can write pages and pages in that theres enough of a connection of musicians Rick Rubin worked on the album, theres a cover of the Cure, Mumford & Sons were an influence while the gossip magazines have been excited by the fact that the album is one long break-up record, eager to find the ex.In 1990, Madonna was a global superstar with a back catalogue of era-defining hits to her name. She was untouchable and, tellingly, unknowable. She was (and still is) a megastar, but a megastar of a different age. These days, we want to know a bit more about our artists; that they have relationship problems, walk their dog. Her selling point and appeal is precisely the fact that she exists at the point between everyday ordinariness and pop star.For now, Adeles success should be celebrated, especially for becoming an unlikely global star on her own terms. The danger is that were headed for a lot of fairly boring pop, a situation that led to the birth of Gaga a few years back. Pop goes in cycles and it feels like were headed back towards the very middle of MOR.50. Adeles achievement seems unbelievable for the reason that _.A. the sales of her second album achieved an incredible success last week in the UKB. her second album ranked first in a row with the incredible average sales per weekC. Madonna was the last female singer in the UK to stay at No. 1 as long as she didD. she is such an ordinary singer with so fascinating a voice in the music industry51. According to the author, the success of Adeles second album _.A. to a large extent depends on her apparent talent for music B. is because of her extraordinariness and the wonderful voiceC. lies in gift, timing and something beyond sex, age and trustD. is largely due to the state of the music industry currently52. Compared with other female pop stars, what does the author think of Adele?A. She stands out in a totally different way from Gaga and Beyonce.B. She and Madonna are contemporary megastars in music.C. Only she and Madonna spent that long at No.1 in the UK.D. Jessie J and she both have an American habit of expressing themselves.53. What helped Adele successfully turned her gift of singing into sales?A. Her musical talent. B. The joint work of musicians in the album.C. Her incredible voice. D. Her universality and broad appeal.54. The author thinks that the current musical trend in the UK is _.A. satisfying B. disappointing C. dangerous D. desperateDLast Christmas was a very difficult time for me. My family and all of my close friends were back home in Florida, and I was all alone in a rather cold California. I was working too many hours and became very sick.I was working a double shift at the Southwest Airlines ticket counter, it was about 9:00 PM on Christmas Eve, and I was feeling really miserable inside. There were a few of us working and very few customers waiting to be helped. When it was time for me to call the next person to the counter, I looked out to see the sweetest-looking old man standing with a cane. He walked very
