Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important officer, he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on him. They knew it was good for their business. Now the officer got fatter and fatter. He could hardly go upstairs at home and had to sleep downstairs.

He often felt tired if he walked or did some housework. He was worried about it and had to go to a doctor.“Stop eating much fat(脂肪) and sugar, Mr. Jenkins，” said the doctor.“Or it will be worse for your health！” It was difficult for the officer to do it. He wouldn't do as the doctor said. He found something was wrong with his heart a few months later. Now he thought the doctor was right. And he had to be in hospital.

“You must lose weight(減肥), sir，” said the doctor，“unless you want to die soon！” “Could you tell me a way to lose weight, please？” “You must do some exercise first.” “What exercise？” “To move your head from side to side when you are invited to dinner！”

When we talk about women stars, it seems that they are always young and beautiful with wonderful faces and bodies. However, a star, Susan Boyle, gave us a different idea in Britain′s Got Talent in 2009.

Simon Cowell, one judge (評委) in the talent show, got a big surprise at Ms Boyle′s singing. “She looked older and even a little uglier (更丑的) than other women singers. So I was thinking, ‘It may take less than one minute and I could go to have a cup of tea.' But everything became different when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream. She seemed to know we would get a big surprise and just did her best to sing. It was one of my favorite moments in my work,” Cowell said.

Someone put the performance (表演) on the Internet in 2009, and before long, the 48-year-old Scottish woman became one of the most popular stars around the world.

Ms Boyle said that she never wanted to change what she looked like. She said her friend wanted to help her with make-up (化妝)，but she didn′t agree.“I only wanted to show my most true side,” she added.

Ms Boyle also said how she found her talent for singing,“I wasn′t so good at my subjects at school, so singing was a good way to make myself feel good. I just kept singing and then I was more and more sure of myself.”

1.Why did Susan Boyle become a popular star?

A. Because she was young and beautiful.

B. Because she didn't care about her ugly face.

C. Because she had talent for singing.

D. Because she was good at helping others with make-up.

2.How old is Susan Boyle now?

A. 40 years old. B. 48 years old. C. 54 years old. D. 57 years old.

3.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Susan Boyle was not good at her lessons when she was at school.

B. Susan Boyle wanted to change what she looked like.

C. Susan Boyle could sing I Dreamed a Dream very well.

D. Simon Cowell didn' t think Susan Boyle was a good singer at first.

4.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. It′s not easy for an old woman to be a great singer.

B. Singing is much better than studying.

C. It′s easier for an old woman to become famous in the US.

D. Though you are ugly, you can make your dream come true by working hard.
