      When we talk about stars, especially women stars, it seems that they are always young, pretty and own attractive body shapes. But recently a Britain’s Got Talent（英國達(dá)人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views completely.
      Simon Cowell, one of the organizers of the talent show spoke of his surprise over Ms Boyle’s voice. “This lady came up, and I’m thinking, ‘This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea.’ That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction（反應(yīng)）and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through - it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.
      The performance was posted online and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.
      Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hadn’t thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, it’s meaningless.” She added.
      Ms. Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her musical talents. “ I was kind of slow at school, so getting something like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and therefore it built my confidence.’’
1. Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singing because ________.          
A. she was confident of her singing
B. she was satisfied with the organizers
C. she was pretty and in good shape
D. she sang the song I Dreamed a Dream from Lea Miserables  
2. According to the passage, which is NOT true?
A. It was the musical talents that built Susan's confidence.
B. Susan Boyle was not good at her lessons when at school.
C. Susan Boyle became famous because of her appearance.
D. Simon Cowell didn't think Susan Boyle a good singer at the time sight.
3. What can we learn from Susan Boyle’s success?
A. It’s never too old to learn.  
B. It’s easier to succeed at the age of 47.
C. If you have a dream, keep trying to make it come true!  
D. If you are not able to study well, to be a singer instead.

　　President (總統(tǒng)) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(討論) of words and their meanings.

　　The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.

　　One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”

　　A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(懸崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(損失).”

　　The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

　　At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(導(dǎo)彈) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”
