閱讀下面短文，從每題所給四個選項中選出最佳答案。

　　In the age of reality television, success isn't the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.

　　Hung recently has made an agreement with US－based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full－length record, titled “The True Idol(偶像) ” on April 6.

　　The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version(改寫本) of Ricky Martin's “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3”, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid－act.

　　Hung's response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all. ”That's good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret：The off－key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking(搖擺) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.

　　But, it was this very bad act that sold well.

　　Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way：“Everyone of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off－key and completely unworried. That's what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”

　　Whatever it is, for the moment it's big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.

　　So, what does Hung think of this?

　　“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn't have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.

　　Now he says he's not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour(魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn't been easy.

1．What is the main idea of this passage?

[　　]

A．Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.

B．Hung's performance attracted the public eye.

C．How an unsuccessful person became famous.

D．Success sometimes does not require hard work.

2．Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________.

[　　]

A．his shirt and pants
B．his off－key singing
C．his hips jerking
D．his excellent version

3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?

[　　]

A．William Hung.
B．Hung's bad act.
C．Hung's website.
D．The public's opinion.

4．Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung?

a．The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.

b．The judges cut Hung off in mid－act in the singing contest.

c．Hung became popular among Americans.

d．Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.

e．Three websites put Hung's funny performance on the Internet.

[　　]

A．d, b, e, c, a
B．a(chǎn), c, d, b, e
C．a(chǎn), d, b, c, e
D．d, b, a, e, c

5．Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?

[　　]

A．His success was based on his own hard work.

B．He attracted people's attention in the contest.

C．He was good－looking though he didn't sing well.

D．His character was completely different from other idols'.

　　Then a visitor showed up．“Do you want to write a song? ” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers．Simran stared．“Have you ever written a poem? ” Anita Kruse continued．“Well, yes, ” Simran said．

　　Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone．“Some bird soaring through the sky, ” she said softly．“Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling(鳴, 唱)birds, and finally the girl's voice．Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song．

　　That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs．As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”．

　　The effect on the kids has been great．One teenage girl, curling(蜷縮)in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written．A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It．

　　“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses, ” says Anita Kruse．“But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families．”
