阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

    In his lowest days when few people bought his records, Taiwan singer Steve Chou lived alone in Canada and did little. One day, he passed by a local CD store and heard a song that greatly attracted him.

    "My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame(名誉)or money," Chou said. That's how we luckily have such a music genius, who has since then composed(作曲) lots of hits for the pop music charts (排行榜).

    "Sometimes we need to get close to nature to look deeply into our souls and see what we really want to follow," he said.

    Recently he has made public his latest work Lovers Genesis(《恋人创世纪》). In this album, he explores human relationships in the Internet age.

    "Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you're going to use it," is Chou's advice to teenagers.

    Chou often gets his music ideas from trips. He has traveled to many places around the world and believes that learning a country's language is the fastest way of experiencing the culture behind it.

    Chou has worked hard on learning English to push forward his music career(事业).

    He has flown to the UK to attend month-long English training schools three times. There he lives with local families and practices daily conversations.

    "So I could easily read the English instructions on recording machines and communicate with the local music producers," said Chou, "The music reviews of the US or British singers that I appreciate could help me learn and grow with them."

Harris was a very small hare(野兔) with very big feet. "Why do I have such big feet, Grandpa?" Harris asked. "All hares have big feet, Harris. I will show you 1 ," said Grandpa.

Grandpa hopped(单脚跳) 2 into the air. Harris copied(模仿) it. He kept practicing over and over again until he could hop as high 3 Grandpa. Then Grandpa took Harris up to the 4 of the mountains. He told Harris, "With your big feet, you can hop to the top of your world."

Grandpa taught Harris lots of life 5 . For example, he taught Harris how to 6 a cool resting place in the earth when the days were hot. One summer afternoon, they stopped to 7 the grass. Harris shouted happily, "Look, Grandpa! My feet can 8 me away from the hot sun! I'm so 9 to have such big feet." As time went by, he got to know the10 of his feet.

One day Grandpa noticed a wolf looking closely at them from a distance (从远处). He kept cool and spoke 11 to Harris, "The most important thing about your big feet is they can 12 you to run very fast." Harris began to run and didn't stop 13 he heard the howl (嚎叫) of the wolf. "Grandpa, why aren't you running with me?" Harris ran back and 14 sadly.

"Little Harris, I'm growing old. It's time for you to learn to live in 15 own world."

Harris kept Grandpa's words in mind and he believed his big feet would take him to the end of the world.

Zeus and the Bears(大熊座、小熊座背后的神话故事)

URSA MAJOR, or the Great Bear, is one of the most recognizable constellations(星座). Have

you ever seen it in the night sky? And did you know that it has a connection to Greek mythology? Ursa Major used to be a beautiful woman. She once won the heart of Zeus, the god of the sky.

According to Greek mythology, Zeus had many human girlfriends. One of them was Callisto. Zeus used to visit her regularly, and this angered his wife Hera.

One day, Zeus was walking through the woods with Callisto. Suddenly, he saw Hera coming. Not knowing how to hide Callisto, he turned her into a giant bear.

When Hera arrived, she saw Zeus walking by himself in the forest. But Hera knew her husband well. She didn't believe he was there alone. She ordered that they return together to their home on Mt. Olympus. Zeus didn't want to go because he knew he had to bring Callisto back to human form before returning to Mt. Olympus. But since Hera insisted, he had to leave immediately.

Zeus left Callisto living on as a bear. That same day, Arcas, the son of Zeus and Callisto, was hunting in the woods. He saw the big bear and shot at it. It was a successful attack. But before Arcas ' surprised eyes, the dying animal started changing back into Callisto. Arcas saw his mother with an arrow (箭) in her heart and started crying loudly for what he had done.

Arcas realized that it was a trick played by Zeus. He became even angrier and started crying louder. Zeus heard him and understood that Hera could hear the man as well. He quietly returned to Earth and asked Arcas to hide the secret. Zeus changed Callisto back into a bear and made her one of the largest constellations in the sky. It's known as the Great Bear. Zeus also turned Arcas into a smaller constellation. It's known as the Little Bear, or Ursa Minor.

As you look up at the night sky, you can see Ursa Minor turning toward Ursa Major. According to Greek mythology, it's Arcas looking at his mother.

Some days later, he found another job as a 3 in a restaurant. However, he didn't stay there for a long time, either. The manager said Mr. Black was 4 . He often served the food to wrong tables. This time, his wife said, "Different people have different 5 . Some of them are good at cooking, while some can do well in drawing. You will find a right job one day."

After hearing his wife's words, Mr. Black was happy again and then kept 6 a job. Later, he did many jobs 7 he never stayed long in those jobs. Each time, he would return home, unhappy. His wife would always say 8 nice to make him happy.

One day, he asked his wife, "When I felt upset about my future, 12 did you believe in me so much?" His wife smiled, "When a piece of land is not right for rice, we could 13 planting fruits. 14 the fruits are not growing well, we could try vegetables. There must be one plant that can grow well on this land."

So in this world. everyone is useful. It is just that they don't put themselves in the right 15 .

Billy Ray Harris was homeless. He spent each day on the streets of Kansas City, begging for money or food. Every day, as he sat thinking about his life, he occasionally heard the sound of a coin or two coming into his cup. One day, the noise was louder than usual. If Billy had looked up, he'd have seen a young lady on her way to work. But he didn't. Later when he looked into the cup, he could hardly believe what he saw. At the bottom was a shining diamond ring.

Billy's first thought was to go straight to a jeweller's(珠宝店) and that's exactly what he did. To his amazement, he was offered $4,000. Billy thought long and hard. Was this a mistake? It was more money than he'd seen in a long time. But then he thought about his grandfather, who had brought him up always to do the right thing, and knew he had to reconsider. His mind was made up. He'd keep the ring and maybe one day its owner would return.

Two days later, a young woman came while he was begging. She introduced herself as Sarah Darling and asked if he'd found anything unusual in his cup. Billy reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring. When he saw the smile on her face, he knew he'd made the right decision. She explained when putting the coins into his cup, she'd forgotten putting her ring in her purse.

But the story doesn't end there. Sarah told her husband the story and wanted to post it on the Internet. He thought it was a good idea. They also called on raising money for Billy. They had more than $185,000. Billy Ray Harris no longer spends his days begging. He has a home and a job. The story also made the local news and he was reunited with his two sisters, who he hadn't seen for 16 years. If he hadn't done the right thing, he wouldn't have seen his sisters again.
