Angela Zou hardly writes text messages now. Sitting at her office desk, Zou asks her iPhone, where they should go to eat. When it buzzes seconds later, she lifts it to her ear for her friend's reply. The conversation goes back and forth through these pieces of words before they decide on the place for lunch.

Like millions of others across Asia, Zou is using WeChat, a smartphone app（應用程序）developed in China, to send voice messages, snapshots（快照）and emoticons（表情符號）to her friends. Now that its walkietalkie-style（對講機式）messages have become everywhere, she said typing feels like hard work.
WeChat's popularity has grown quickly since it came into use in 2011. Tencent, the company that developed the app, announced in September that its users had doubled in six months to 200 million. Most users are in China, though WeChat is being used across Asia and already has users in the US and the UK.  
Historically, it has proved difficult for Chinese internet firms to develop in foreign countries. But WeChat is becoming the first Chinese social media application with the possibility to go to the whole world.
WeChat is similar to the popular US-based mobile messaging service WhatsApp, but it does more. It comes in eight languages including English, Arabic and Russian.
"I used WhatsApp before I came back to China from studying abroad and found all my friends were using WeChat," said Zou, who is 25. "Now when I want to contact someone I use WeChat first." The app's features include Look Around, which allows users to chat to strangers nearby, while Moments works like Instagram（圖片分享）.
小題1:Why does Angela Zou hardly write text messages now?
小題2:What is WeChat used to do?
小題3:Which company of China developed WeChat?
小題4:Where is WeChat used?
小題5:What do you think of WeChat?
                                                                           

小題1:Because she is using WeChat now.
小題2:It’s used to send voice messages, snapshots and emoticons to others.
小題3:Tencent.
小題4:In Asia, the US and the UK.
小題5:It’s very useful. (言之有理即可)

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了有關微信的情況，微信在2011年開始使用之后迅速流行起來。
小題1:根據(jù)文中提示Angela Zou 使用了微信，并且她覺得打字挺費事的。所以是Because she is using WeChat now.
小題2:根據(jù)文中所提供的信息，尤其是第二自然段的描述中可以找到答案。所以是It’s used to send voice messages, snapshots and emoticons to others.
小題3:根據(jù)文中原句Tencent, the company that developed the app, （Tencen公司發(fā)展了微信應用軟件），所以是Tencent.
小題4:從文中原句Most users are in China, though WeChat is being used across Asia and already has users in the US and the UK. 可以知道答案是  In Asia, the US and the UK.
小題5:從文中描述微信是非常用的，所以是It’s very useful. (言之有理即可)

What is it like being a film star? What is it like n front of the camera? Students from Steamboat Spring Middle School in the US could tell you exactly what it’s like. They recently got a taste of the life of a star.
A local movie company wanted to produce a film. All the actors in this film were to be students. Fourteen students were chosen from the school. The film, called Ruby vs Wolfgang, was based on the story of little Red Riding Hood(小紅帽). It came with a twist(改變), however---the story was told from the perspective(看法) of the wolf.
Zoe Walsh, a seventh-grader, signed up to do behind- the- scenes work. But she soon found herself in front of the camera instead. She played a strange middle school student in the film.
“It is just for fun,” she told the Steamboat Today. “Just pretending that you’re someone else.”
But there were also difficulties. It was very cold during shooting. Students had to put up with snow and icy wind.
Lack(缺乏) of experience was another problem. The director Michael Staley said he tried to “help each student bring out the wolf ---or Whatever animal they representing---in themselves”
Erus Harrington, an eighth---grader, said he played a “nice, silly British guy”. He learned the British accent(口音) all at home.
“I just a kind of taught myself how to do it by watching videos,” he said “It makes me feel good after I do it because I’m proud of myself.”
The students will watch themselves on the big screen for the first time during the film festival at a local high school in May.
“I’m probably going to laugh at myself,” said Zach, the brother of Zoe.
小題1:Fourteen students were chosen as actors in this film, weren’t they?
小題2:Who did Walsh play in the film?
小題3:What were the two main problems for the actors?
小題4:How did Harrington learn the British accent?
小題5:Where will the students see the film acted by themselves on the big screen for the first time ?
小題6:What do the students think of being a film star after they got a taste of the life of a star according to the passage? (At least two different opinions)

閱讀下面短文，完成相關任務。
For more than one month, people in China have been worried about the fate（命運）of the 239 people, including 154 Chinese passengers, on board Air Malaysia Flight MH370. However, today no matter how sad we are and how many details（詳細資料）that are not clear, it is certain that flight MH370 broke down in the Indian Ocean and no one on (44)it is alive. All the people in the world can do is to continue to look for the wreckage(殘骸), talk with the Malaysian government for more information and accept the terrible fact.
People in China have been very disappointed with Malaysia Airlines these days. They do their best to show the Malaysian government that we will never give up knowing the truth. On the other hand, the number of Chinese people who choose to take a trip in Malaysia has been smaller and smaller. Many Chinese people including some famous movie stars say that they will never go to Malaysia any more.
At present, there’s a totally new expression coming out after this event. That is, “Don’t be so Malaysia.”45 People use it to describe someone who is unbelievable and likes telling lies to hide the truth.

小題1:Did the plane crash in the Indian Ocean?
______________________________________________________________________
