MONTREAL--He may be the world’s richest man, but that didn’t prevent Bill Gates from falling for an April Fool’s day joke by two Quebec radio comics (喜剧演员) pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
Montreal French-language station CKMF--FM said last Wednesday that staffers (工作人员) Marcantoine Audet and Sebastien Trudel had a 10-minute telephone chat with Microsoft Corp boss Gates on April 1.
The broadcast was aired on their nightly show last Tuesday and repeated last Wednesday.
“We were happy. We had been calling Microsoft persistently (坚持不懈地) for four weeks,” Trudel said.
Trudel said he and his colleague had already fooled Canadian pop singer Celine Dion and Formula One (一级方程赛车) driver Jacques Villeneuve on their show.
“This time, we wanted to give ourselves a challenge with somebody more difficult to reach,” Ttudel said.
He said he was surprised that Gates’s assistants did not check to see if it was really the prime minister’s office on the line.
Trudel said they imitated (模仿) Chretien’s heavily accented English, talking about the economy, asking about Microsoft’s Windows operating system and inviting the multibillionaire to visit a well-known Montreal strip joint (运动服合资企业).
The radio host said that Gates was not amused by the fake interview.
“He did not seem angry but he did not find it so funny,” the comic said.
【小题1】Bill Gates was fooled mainly because ______.

A.his assistants were not careful enough
B.the Canadian Prime Minister helped the two comics
C.the two comics imitated the Canadian Prime Minister so well
D.it was April Fool’s Day
【小题2】We can conclude from the passage that the two comics ______.
A.liked to fool famous people on their show 
B.thought that Gates was not a great challenge to them
C.had a good knowledge of Bill Gates and his Windows operating system
D.were not quite satisfied with their tricks
【小题3】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Gates ‘April Fooled’B.Two Comics and Their Tricks
C.Two comics and Their ShowD.A Fake Interview

The popular song ‘Gangnam Style’ from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever, getting more than 808 million views on the popular media site.
The distinction was previously held by another pop heavyweight, Justin Bieber, whose song ‘Baby’ had a little more than 804 million views at press time. PSY made the announcement on his Twitter page earlier today.
Since its release, the song has defeated such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On the Floor’ and Eminem's ‘Love the Way You Lie’. And in September, 'Gangnam Style' also became the most liked video on YouTube, now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up.
At the time of the announcement, the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying: “In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube. PSY, your certificate is waiting here at our office, come pick it up any time!”
Despite its massive popularity, the video shows no signs of slowing down, and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views.
If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, ‘Gangnam Style’ would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.
The YouTube honors are just the latest in a long list that shows just how popular the song has become. Since it was released in July, the song has seen a meteoric rise through the music industry.
It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody(恶搞)videos.
It became part of the 2012 presidential elections with the now famous ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda films promoting their supreme leader.
Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.
【小题1】This passage mainly talks about a world famous________.
A. music chart                         B. video website
C. music video                         C. Korean pop singer
【小题2】Which of the following about “Gangnam Style” is NOT true according to the passage?

A.“Gangnam Style” has defeated Justin Bieber’s “Baby” on You Tube’s views.
B.“Gangnam Style” has been the favorite to at least 5.4 million people.
C.“Gangnam Style” has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.
D.“Gangnam Style” has been the first to get more than 1 billion views.
【小题3】What can we infer from this passage?
A.The influence of “Gangnam Style” has spread far and wide
B.Obama won the presidential election partly because of the ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video.
C.Despite its massive popularity, the fever of “Gangnam Style” has decreased.
D.PSY will become one of the greatest musicians due to the popularity of “Gangnam Style”.

Few of us haven’t read Cinderella(灰姑娘), the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻). Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured(特点) in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.

Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked(邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.

The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.

“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson, “The focus is firmly on following your dream.”

1.The first paragraph is mainly to ____________.

A.build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream

B.remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years

C.tell us what is the Cinderella Story

D.tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.

B.Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.

C.Not many people have a dream to be realized.

D.The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.

3.The passage is mainly about ____________.

A.an introduction to a novel                 B.a review about a film

C.a passage about dreams                  D.an advertisement of Cinderella

Think of some of your favorite singers. When you listen, they can make you happy or sad, peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways—emotionally, physically and mentally.

       But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera(歌剧)star Carol Vaness.

       At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.

       “When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater,” Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”

       According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s lot softer. When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears—like waves on a beach, ”Carol says. “In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth—it vibrates in your chest,the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”

       Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice-the highest singing voice for women.

       Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, the emotions(情感)expressed by words and music come to life.

       Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has song for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace.

       “Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy. That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.”

1.According to the passage,  the Metropolitan Opera in New York City      .

       A.is a five-story building                         B.can seat 4,000 people                   

       C.has no microphone in it                        D.can project the singer’s voice

2.What is the best title for this passage?

       A.Opera Singing and Pop Singing            B.The Way an Opera Star Sings        

       C.An Opera Star                                     D.Singing without a Microphone

3.Which statement is true?

       A.A pop singer’s lungs are usually stronger than those of an opera singer’s          

       B.Opera singing is more like speaking.     

       C.A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.

       D.An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.

4.From the passage you can conclude all the following EXCEPT that      .

       A.Carol once learned to play the piano     

       B.Carol worked as a music teacher           

       C.Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or so                     

       D.Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans

 On March 5, 2009, Michael Jackson stood in front of crowds of fans.Before screaming fans, he pronounced with pumping arms: "This is it!"

         A few months later, Jackson was dead.With the late pop star’s return to radio, television and the cultural events, Forbes judges that Jackson has made $90 million since his death June 25.This figure is based on his royalties(版税) from album sales, radio play, rights to his name and royalties from his stock in the Sony/ATV music catalog (编目权).

         Jackson's music was his most easily-seen source in the last months.“Nothing increases the value of an artist than death ...an untimely death,” says Barry Massarsky, a music industry economist.

         The music's immediate value was clear.Since June, Jackson has sold more than 5.9 million albums in the U.S.and another 4.5 million overseas.In the first weeks after his death, there were 5.6 million single downloads across North America, Europe and Australia.Jackson recently has three of the top 20 best-selling albums of the year in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.His 2003 hits album Number Ones is the best seller of the year, beating Taylor Swift's Fearless.

         More than 500,000 Jackson ringtones and 100,000 music videos were sold.In the week following his death, songs by The Jackson 5, The Jacksons and Michael were played over 100,000 times on the radio, according to Nielsen BDS.

         Jackson's estate(遗产)will likely see more money by the end of this year, as it has rights to some of the profits from This Is It as well as the two-disc album of the same name.The estate will share 90% of the film profits with AEG.

         Ticket sales from an exhibit opening in London will also contribute a likely profit.Hundreds of Jackson's personal belongings-his L.A.Rolls Royce etc-will remain on show for three months at the O2 Arena for fans willing to shell out $25 for a view.

         The pop singer bought ATV Publishing, for $47.5 million in 1985.Ten years later, he sold the catalog to Sony for $95 million and took a 50% stock in Sony/ATV, which is now worth about $1.7 to $2 billion.So he still owned half the Sony/ATV catalog at his death.

         Jackson's future earning potential is based on his stock in valuable music as well as the value of his image(肖像).As many musicians, actors and artists before him, Jackson's fame could have a long tail on the market with allowable products, advertising and entertainment events.

1.What do Barry Massarsky’s words in Paragraph 3 imply?

         A.Jackson died at the time as expected.

         B.Only at death can an artist become famous.

         C.Jackson became more famous at death than when he was alive.

         D.Jackson’s unexpected death raised his value as an artist immediately.

2.All the following is true EXCEPT that _____.

         A.“This is it” is the last concert that Jackson gave

         B.Jackson has sold 10.4 million albums since June

         C.Jackson’s L.A.Rolls Royce is now for show and will finally be sold

         D.Jackson’s stock in music and his image will keep on earning money in the future

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

         A.Jackson’s album Number Ones beat Taylor Swift’s Fearless in 2003.

         B.Taylor Swift’s Fearless is the second best seller of music albums of 2009.

         C.AEG takes in more film profits from “This is it” than Jackson’s estate.

         D.More Jackson’s music videos were sold than his ringtones right after his death.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

         A.Why Michael Jackson’s music is so popular all over the world.

         B.How Michael Jackson has earned $90 million in the months since his death.

         C.What Michael Jackson's future earning potential is based on.

         D.How much Michael Jackson earned in the first few months after his death.
