Millions of girls grow up with the hope of becoming a famous singer. Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.
Andrews' first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.
Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina.
With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同) with Dream Works' Nashville label.
Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.
With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明) gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."
56. What's the meaning of the underlined word "launched" in the fourth paragraph?
A. Aimed. B. Sent. C. Started. D. Set.
57. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A. The Bodyguard was the first album Andrews ever bought.
B. After Andrews sang Who I Am, she became a star in her own right.
C. I Will Always Love You was originally sung by Whitney Houston.
D. Now expresses a new feeling of Andrews.
58. Which of the following may NOT be Andrews' album?
A. Now. B. Heart Shaped World. C. The Prince of Egypt. D. Who I Am.
59. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Jessica Andrews" Life B. Jessica Andrews' Dream

The brightest object in the evening sky after the sun and the moon isn't a star, but a planet. It's Venus, our closest neighbor and the second planet from the sun.
Venus is so bright that you can see it both at night and in the early morning. This caused some confusion for ancient Egyptian (埃及的) and Greek (希腊的) star observers. Because they saw Venus at two different times, they thought it was two different planets.
What makes Venus so bright? Huge clouds, 20 miles thick, completely surround it and reflect 75% of the light from the sun that strike them.
For a long time, these clouds caused Venus to be a great mystery (谜) to the world's astronomers. If, like other clouds, the ones on Venus were made up of water vapors (水汽), could there not be life hiding beneath them on the planet? Were there "Venusians (金星人) "waiting to communicate with us on Earth?
It was an exciting thought, but on that the Mariner recently landed to rest. The Mariner thoroughly examined Venus and its atmosphere, only to find that the cloud cover was made mostly of deadly carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) gas. The atmospheric pressure was 15 to 22 times greater than on Earth, which further disproved the theory of life on Venus.
Arid what did the Mariner find under the clouds? A world of great mountains and smooth areas, dry as a bone. The temperature is about 900℉. That's hot.
Although the greatest mystery has been solved, there are still others waiting for us on Venus. Why does Venus rotate (自转) so slowly? What is the inside of Venus like? And most important of all, why is there no water on Venus? If, as it was thought, it was formed about the same time as our planet, it should have water.
These questions and others may some day be answered. Until then, Venus will continue to be the brightest mystery in the sky.
60. Venus is very bright because ______.
A. the clouds surrounding it take in 75% of the sunlight striking them
B. the clouds surrounding it throw back 3/4 of the sunlight striking them
C. 75% of the clouds surrounding it are made up of water vapor
D. 3/4 of the clouds surrounding it are made up of carbon dioxide gas
61. "The Mariner" is probably the name of ______.
A. an astronomer B. a planet C. a star D. a spaceship
62. From the passage we can tell that ______.
A. astronomers still wonder whether Venus is as old as the Earth
B. Venusians are trying to get in touch with us on Earth
C. there are many volcanoes and other natural wonders on Venus
D. whether there is life on Venus is still a question
63. What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from?
A. Scientific Technology B. Science Fictions
C. Brief News D. Science & Discovery

Most kids go to school during the day and come home to their families or caregivers at night. Sometimes kids can’t go home every night so they “board” or live at school during term time.
Whatever the reason for going to boarding school, living with a group of people is very different from living with your family. You have to learn to get on with others, be responsible for looking after your own stuff and follow the rules that are there to make everyone’s life pleasant and safe.
The following are some tips from boarders.
“Remember that the other new students are probably as shy as you are. If you don’t talk first and try to make friends, it may not happen.”
“Don’t bottle things up inside you. The more you talk, the easier it gets. You can talk to older boarders as well as adults. They understand what you are feeling; they’ve been through it too.”
“Be respectful of other’s space and give them privacy. Having people around all the time means you don’t get much time to yourself.”
“Join sports and other after-school activities. You’ll meet lots of new people who are interested in the same things as you. And keeping busy will help you get over feeling homesick.”
“If you are a weekly boarder or go home most weekends it can be harder to make friends, so see if you can organize to stay in for a weekend.”
“Make friends with non-boarders too. It’s good to visit someone’s home sometimes.”
“Boarding has its ups and downs, you get homesick and sometimes the
