12.If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days,it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies (自传) in that list.Bill Clinton,Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them.An autobiography is the story of a person?s life,written by that person.It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood,how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives.
Traditionally,someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long,successful life.However,these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well.Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well.As a result,people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous,a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography,even if they are very young.
So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye.Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays,we maybe don?t know how they live their lives from day to day.Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars.The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies.
Not every star wants to write though.Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them.The writer will interview the stars,listen to everything they want to say,record interviews and then write books based on their words.David Beckham did this with his book My Side.
Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars.Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books.About 100million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year.More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops,more people are sure to keep buying them.
Autobiographies,stories writt en by famous people about themselves,are popular in the UK.(要点1)But unlike traditional ones,many of today's autobiographies are about young stars who rise to fame quickly.(要点2)As they often contain information unknown before,readers are keen on reading them.(要点3)Not fond of writing,however,some celebrities hire writers to write their autobiographies.(要点4)Besides,due to autobiographies,more British people are involved in reading now.(要点5)(68 words).

Not fond of writing,however,some celebrities hire writers to write their autobiographies.

6.Each time Chinese New Year is approaching,preparations are underway around the world.Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others,having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s,London's Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang.Decorated with red lanterns (灯笼),previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技),martial arts (武术),dance and opera nearby.
San Francisco
San Francisco's Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States.The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century.Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street,this historic area is a local treasure,attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bangkok
With an about 100-year-old history,the Thai capital's Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats,clothes,toys and antiques.Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood.The area is also known for its gold dealers,whose shops line the road.
Mauritius
Found in Port Louis,this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation's rich multicultural diversity.Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China,its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors.During the Chinese Spring Festival,the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royal when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.

21.According to the text,which of the following has the longest history?B
A.London's Chinatown.
B.San Francisco's Chinatown.
C.Mauritius's Chinatown.

17.When I first started university,I remembered hearing about bone marrow(骨髓)donation during Freshman's Week.Some students volunteers from a group called Marrow tried to convince me to attend an event so I could learn more about it.The word"bone"immediately made me think that donating would be a painful procedure,so I refused. Back then,there was no way I could have known three years later,I would be one of the many people that desperately needs a bone marrow donor to save their lives.
I am currently waiting to be matched with a donor and if I am lucky enough to find a good match,it will be this lovely stranger that saves my life.I received my cancer diagnosis in June.It is only at that time that I realized how ignorant I had been about the bone marrow donation process.
The process of donating stem cells is actually very simple.In 90% of cases,donors are asked to donate their blood stem cells,the other 10% will give their bone marrow.Lots of donors say that both these things are virtually pain free,and nothing to be scared about.Being a bone marrow donor should be something to be proud of,as every donor has an opportunity to save someone's life!
At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match,I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a donor right for me.If I have an opportunity for life,I won't waste it.
When I was a first year at university,I made the mistake of walking away from becoming a stem cell donor.Please don't make the same mistake that I did.There are so many people out there,including myself,that need your help; and by undergoing a simple,pain-free procedure,you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someone's life.

28.The author told us her story toD

1.One morning more than thirty years ago,I entered the Track Kitchen,a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast.I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly,unshaven man,who looked somewhat disheveled.He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone.I asked if I might join him.He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

"May I get you something?"
"A coffee would be nice."
Then I bought him a cup of coffee.We talked more,and he accepted another cup of coffee.Finally,I rose to leave,wished him well,and headed for the exit.At the door I met one of my friends.He asked,
"How did you get to know Mr.Galbreath?"
"Who?"
"The man you were sitting with.He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."
I could hardly believe it.I was buying,offering a free breakfast,and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr.Galbreath changed my life.Now I try to treat everyone with respect,no matter who I think they are,and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.
