【录音原文】
  W: In the studio today, we had Jonas Day, who’s just won an award for student journalism with an article about Madonna for his college newspaper. Jonas, welcome! I believe Madonna herself ring to congratulate you.
  M: It’s true that I had a letter from her PR Company, but I didn’t speak to her myself.
  W: So let’s start the beginning. She was born in Detroit in 1958. Is that right?
  M: Actually, at a place called Rochester.
  W: All right, OK. Tell us how her career took off.
  M: Well, of course the thing most people don’t associate with Madonna is the fact that she is chief executive of a large company called Maverick Entertainment which is a multi-million dollar company and dares her more than her records and films.
  W: Yes, her image is certainly different, isn’t it? She’s had a lot of bad publicity about her private life, hasn’t she?
  M: She said at the time that what they said in the newspapers took her by surprise. She believed her life to be totally under control. Everything she had ever done has been carefully planned. You know, in order to get a record contract when she came to New York, she went to clubs where she knew record producers went. She even managed to get an appointment with the head of Sier Records when he was in hospital. He reckoned she was a very determined lady.
  W: I heard a similar story about how she got a manager. Apparently she asked herself who managed the biggest actor in the world. And of course that was Michael Jackson’s manager. And she decided she wanted him to manage her too. She just walked into his office and told him.
  M: Well, there you have it: determination, charm, intelligence and above all, talent.

I don’t care how much it is.”The following week, my neighbor was walking by the shoe store and the manager recognized (认出)him and called him in.“ What’s the problem?” asked my neighbor as he entered the store.“ Wasn’t my check any good?”“ That’s not it,” answered the manager, “ The problem is that your mother is bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollar shoes!”( ) 51.

All the people who went to the new supermarket had one great hope: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for his shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said, "Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day!"For several weeks Mrs. White hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, however, she never lost heart. Her kitchen was full of things which she did not really need. Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up, but she just wouldn't listen. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come up to say, "Madam. this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket today is free."One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy some tea. She rushed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went to the desk to pay for it. As she was walking, she saw the manager of the supermarket coming up. "Madam," he said warmly, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer today. Everything you've got in your basket is free."People went to the supermarket to ______.A.buy foodB.be lucky customersC.get free thingsD.meet the manager

When the manager told her that she was the lucky customer, Mrs. White would be ______.A.very tiredB.happier than ever beforeC.rather sadD.enthusiastic

BWhen Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as anaward-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up--again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."61. Why did Mary feel regretful?A. She didn't achieve her ambition.B. She didn't take care of her mother.C. She didn't complete her high school.D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.

The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院)knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else-to be independent. At twenty-one,she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then,in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody. Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn't good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her. Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family. The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.(1).Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage,she had lived in the streets for many years.A.TB.F(2).The sentence "orphanage girls could be something" means that orphanage girls could be popular and successful.A.TB.F(3).Her life changed in 1985.A.TB.F(4).This passage is probably taken from a novel.A.TB.F(5).Mary's boyfriend was good at English.A.TB.F
