Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong. Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol on April 6. The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version改写本of Ricky Martins “She Bangson the television show “American Idol 3”, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hungs response? “I have already given my best, so I have no regrets at all. Thats good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing; the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high; the terrible dancing; the hips jerking摇摆to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well. Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. Thats what William did and immediately won the hearts of Americans. Whatever it is, for the moment its big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station. So, what does Hung think of this? “There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didnt have much respect for me and some were kind of mean. Now, he says hes not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour魅力or to accept it. Returning to normal hasnt been easy. 56. What is the main idea of this passage? A.

The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile. “More! More! cried the crowd. And Louis Armstrong took his horn and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went, people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago it was? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis teachers asked him to be in the school band. “This horn is yours until you leave our school, his teacher said. Louis music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didnt learn to read music until he was a man. When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew he had a wonderful talent. Louis played on the boats that sailed up and down the river. He played in little towns and in big cities. Louiss horn had as many sounds as ten hornssometimes slow and sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. “He does make wonderful music, said the man who listened happily. “Yes, said another man, “he makes that horn speak. Then the music ended and the crowd cheered. Louis Armstrong spoke with tears in his eyes, “I think, my friends, you can listen to as much jazz as I can play.

DWhen we speak and when we write, we represent ideas and feelings with words. In painting, ideas and feelings are presented by paint, color, shape and line, etc. Painting is a language. There are many different languages in the world.There are traditional languages of many countries and cultures, and there are special languages of scientists, sports lovers and others. There are just as many styles of painting in the world. In the National Gallery in London there are about 450 pictures, painted at different periods in history and by very different people, so many of these are very different from each other. We have to learn to understand and to speak a language. In the same way, we have to learn to understand a style of painting before we can begin to appreciate all its qualities and what the artist is trying to say to us. Babies have to learn to see and then learn to understand what they see. Seeing and understanding are not like breathing! They are not instinctive. When blind people have an operation in hospital they have to learn to see. At first everything is just a wild pattern of colors and light. They have to see the information which tells them about how near objects are. They have to learn to associate the shape of cat with what they have previously known through sound, touch and smell. We are learning to see all the time. Someone who is learning to drive a car may see as much as the other road users, but he may not understand what is important. An experienced car driver has learnt to understand what he or she sees. 67. What is the main idea in the first paragraph? A. There are many pictures in the National Gallery. B. There are many different languages in the world. C. Painting isalanguage. D. Painting and language are different. 68. Before we begin to appreciate a picture, we have to_.
