Tony Bennett, the American singer recently touring Britain, can't remember how many times he has sung his standard hit "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". He sang it again to his audience at the London Palladium last night.

"I never get tired of singing it," he said, "I like it very much. It's a great city and it's a good song."

Bennett is to record a TV special with the American singer Lena Horne while he is here. And a new LP recorded by him in London for Philips titled "Listen Easy" will be published in June.

"I like it here," he added quietly over whiskey. "I would like to live here so many months of the year."

He already keeps a large flat in Grosvenor Square, where he is staying with his actress wife Sandie Grant and their three-year-old daughter Joanna. It has a studio where he likes to paint. Tony plans to have his first exhibition later in the year and he has already sold one picture for $4,000. At the end of the year Tony is to star in a musical film which has been specially written for him called "Two Bits", an informal expression for 50 cents. It's about an Italian immigrant(移民) who goes to America, but he becomes a failure.

"In many ways it's very close to my life the way the story has been written," said Bennett. "My father, an Italian, was ill and died when I was nine. He always wanted me to sing, but he never lived long enough to be a part of my success."

The film is to be made by Italy's top director Vittoria De Sica.

60. The underlined phrase "standard hit" in the first paragraph most probably means "_____".

A. Bennett's favorite song that's not very popular

B. a song that is always popular

C. a song which is like a heavy blow to his audience

D. a song which makes him standard

62. What does Tony Bennett want to do?

A. Buy a house and live in England.

B. Stay with his wife and daughter in England.

C. Live part of each year in England.

63. What can we learn about Tony Bennett's father from this text?

B

ON March 17 there will be an explosion of green across the World in celebration of St Patrick’s Day．The Irish traditionally wear green on this day, as the color is associated with Ireland．

But there are others, non-Irish，who use the occasion to make jokes about the Irish．They use the stereotype(成見(jiàn))of the Irish as hot-tempered(脾氣暴躁的)drinkers，who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day's work．

However, today the Irish are more often admired for their musical talent and many other abilities．It’s no accident that many of today's most popular music groups，such as singer Enya and rock band U2，are Irish born and bred．Lonely Planet readers even ranked Ireland in 2007 as the friendliest country in the world．

So where did the negative Irish stereotype come from? From the 19th century when it was a bad time to be Irish．

Ireland then was poverty-stricken and starving．Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine, but there they had to compete---occasionally with their fists for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups，such as the Italians．It was on the US’ streets that the Irish earned their reputation for street fighting．

The stereotype of the Irish as big drinkers may be unfair, but Ireland can boast(為……自豪) its fair share of famous drinks．It was the Irish after all who created one of the world’s best-loved beers，Guinness．

65．What is the story mainly about?

A．How the Irish earned their reputation．

B．The festival-St Patrick’s Day．

C．Jokes about the Irish people．

D．Famous Irish stereotype and the truth．

66．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A．St Palrick’s Day is celebrated nowhere else but Ireland．

B．Modern Irish show no interest in drinking alcohol．

C．Part of the stereotype about the Irish is that they are lazy．

D．Irish people usually get hot-tempered when laughed at．

67．Where did the negative Irish stereotype come from?

A．From their everyday behavior toward other people．

B．From the behavior of Irish immigrants to America in the 19th century．

C．From the historical record of 19th century Ireland．

D．From most people’s impression of Irish people
