Five years ago, Wang Baoqiang was a nobody to most Chinese people. However, he is now a household film star in China.
Wang is the youngest child of a poor family in Hebei province . Dreaming of becoming an actor, he left home at the age of 8 to study kung fu at Shaolin Temple, since kung-fu actors seemed to appear most often on the big screen.
At 14, he moved to Beijing for his acting career for the first time, with little money in his pocket. He worked at a construction site（建筑工地）for 20 to 25 yuan per day, and spent his free time standing in front of the Beijing Film Studio, eager to be chosen as temporary（临时的）actors.
This was the most difficult time for the boy. His opportunity finally came one day after he went for a role in the movie “Blind Shaft”. He was chosen to play a young coal miner. The movie won him three prizes in Thailand, France and Taiwan. But his success didn’t make any difference to his life.
That year, he went home for the Spring Festival. He gave his family his earnings from the movie, around US$250 and then returned to Beijing with 500 yuan, the same amount he had when he first set foot in the city. His life was as simple as before.
Thanks to his natural performance in “Blind Shaft,” he was invited by the famous director Feng Xiaogang to act in the film “A World Without Thieves” in 2004, which made him famous
immediately. People called him “Shagen,” the name of his character in the movie.
Wang’s latest work, “Soldiers’ Sortie” has made him the most popular actor on the Chinese mainland . For the actor, it’s a dream coming true.
“Dreams come true. I think my life is exactly a course of pursuing（追求）dreams. No matter how tough one thing is, I can make it as long as I put great effort into it,” he said.

　　You get a terrible feeling when you find you've had a (burglar). It isn't only anger against the thief and at your loss (损失). It's much more. For months after my burglar came one night, I hated my house, though I knew it wasn't my house's fault. Poor Jack suffered more: he lived only a month after his “burglars” came, so they were, in a way, his murderers.

　　Jack and I lived opposite each other on the edge of a village. It so happened that July, I had to go into hospital for a week. At the same time, Jack heard from Norway that his sister had died. So we were both away from our houses for about a week. He was going back the day before I was.

　　When Jack returned, his house was gone. All that remained was the hard base on which the house had stood. He went to the police, of course, and the slow questioning began. When I returned, he came to stay with me. We soon found out from many people what had happened. On the third day of our absence, some “workmen” in a truck arrived at Jack's house. They declared that they were there on the orders of the police. They said that the house was an illegal (非法) building and had to be removed before the owner returned. They even said that the police knew all about it. It was all over in less than two days.

　　Jack went out of his mind. As I said, he didn't live long. It is January now, and so far the police haven't found the house or anything else.

[　　]

B．they knew nothing about the accident at all

C．they did no know where the police station was

D．they knew the “workmen” well

4．Jack died soon after he returned from Norway because ________.

[　　]

A．he was tired after his journey to Norway

B．he was severely hurt by the loss of all that he owned

C．the police punished him for building his house illegally

D．he had been suffering from a serious disease for years

       Steve Paul Jobs was an American businessman and widely recognized as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution. He was co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Company. His death is a great loss to us. The following is some more information about him.

61.    

       After Apple’s founding, Steve Jobs became a symbol of his company and industry. At the time of his resignation, and again after his death, he was widely described as a pioneer and genius perhaps one of the foremost-in the field of business, creation and product design, and a man who had changed the face of the modern world, completely changed at least six different industries. His death was considered a loss to the world by commentators(评论家) across the globe.

62.    

       Memorial candles and iPads to Steve Jobs lie outside the Apple Store in Palo Alto, California. Apple has lost a creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve Jobs have lost a dear friend and an inspiring guide. Steve jobs leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

63.    

       As is still clearly remembered, it was not long before Steve Jobs left his office as CEO of Apple. But he remained at the company as chairman of the company’s board. Hours after the announcement, Apple shares dropped by five percent in after-hour trading. The relatively small drop, when considering the importance of Steve Jobs to Apple, was associated with the fact that his health h ad been in the news for several years, and he was on medical leave since January 2011.

64.    

       Steve Jobs took a job as a technician at Atari company in California in 1974. He traveled to India in the summer of 1974. Seven months later, he returned to Atari and was assigned to create a circuit board for the game Breakout. With Wozniak, the founder of Atari, Steve Jobs began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club where he got to know Edwin H. Land, the inventor of instant photography and founder of Polaroid Corporation, and modeled his career after him.

65.   

       Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for $429 million. The deal was finally made in late 1996, bringing Steve Jobs back to the company he co-founded. In order to concentrate Apple’s efforts, Steve Jobs stopped a number of projects. With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company’s technology found its way into Apple products. Under his guidance the company increased sales significantly with the introduction of the iMac and other new products. Since then, appealing designs and powerful branding hve worked well for Apple.
