Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1I love going out with my mate Jerry. People stare at him with admiration. Some even ask fbr his signature. But Jerry isn't famous. He just bears a resemblance（长得像）to someone who is the actor Daniel Radcliffe. Yes, Harry Potter himself! And it has a magical effect on people!I told Jerry he should be a twin model. That's what Pauline Bailey did. She decided to replicate （模仿）Marilyn Monroe's image after she was told she bore a likeness to the star.Bailey says: "I bought books and started reading about Marilyn. I realized we had a similar upbringing, so I had an affinity（亲近感）with her. Then people started saying when I went to places that I looked like her. I didn't realize you could make a living out of it.”Now the blonde（金发的）model gets jobs through a specialized agency. She jumps out of cakes, allowing men to live the fantasy of meeting the late goddess of the silver screen.But not everybody profits from the lookalike business. Iranian actor Mahmoud Basiri claims his likeness to a famous person cost him eight years of earnings. He happens to be the spitting image of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He was told in 2005 that he could only work with the leader's agreement. So will Ahmadinejad ever give his agreement to the actor to play him? Don't hold your breath-Basiri specializes in comedy!But overall, a resemblance to a popular artist is a good thing, isn't it? The biggest challenge must be to keep the illusion going-for example, by gaining or losing weight if they do. However, Pauline Bailey thinks it's important to keep a sense of yourself. She says: “I'm very much an individual person, away from Marilyn. I think you could lose yourself very easily being someone else all the time and lose your own identity”.I asked Jerry if he thinks impersonating Daniel Radcliffe professionally could go to his head. I worried that all the adulation(恭维)might change him and make him leave me behind. "No wayjhe said. "We do everything together.,What about you? Which celebrity would you like to be the spitting image of?1、Why do some people ask for Jerry's signature?A. They think that he is admirable.B. They mistake him as Daniel Radcliffe.C. They think he has magic power.D. They take him for Harry Potter.2、What can we learn about Pauline Bailey?A. She looks like Marilyn Monroe.B , She is Jerry's girlfriend.C. She has a twin sister.D. She is a famous film star.3、What do we know about Basiri?A. He is the former Iranian president.B. He is fond of acting leaders.C. He has made much money for 8 years.D. He is good at acting in comedy.Text 2Welcome to Holker Hall & GardensVisitor InformationHow to Get to HolkerBy Car: Follow brown signs an A590 from JB6, M6.

Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you,re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don't call until you've texted to confirm it's OK to call. But that's just the beginning.“I'm usually pretty mild and not much bothers me J said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-oId office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message 一 “K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it." he said "At least give me a few words here. You're not that busy.There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don't follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we've seen in the past J said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues （线索、迹象） that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.“As soon as people aren't talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language/9 Ivory said, "People immediately fill that gap by using emoji （表情符号）to sum up a feeling in seconds.“There's great potential fbr danger,Ivory warned.
