Finally，Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity，or more accurately，the owner of an Internet celebrity dog．New followers started to flood in，and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day．In less than four weeks，Yan managed to attract more than 20，000followers．"I am famous now．"Yan thought at that time．
However，fame didn't just bring joy，but also annoyance．Since Beiji was only 3months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of"education"，there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel．
"It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media，Internet users only witness part of your life．And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours，"said Yan，"They don't know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you're unemployed，Yan explained．They also don't care about whether the dog they're enjoying is being pushed too hard．"
Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life．"The lesson I learned is that，if you can't live up to your followers'expectations，it's better not to be an Internet celebrity，"he said．

D．Because he became an Internet celebrity．

Do you know sand has been used to draw pictures since ancient times? Today, sandpainting, an interesting art, will be produced to you.

Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture, then we brushed glue(膠水)to the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.

Unfixed sandpaintings have a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary(臨時的). Different people draw sandpaintings to express different meanings: love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty.

Nowadays, sandpainting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images(圖像)by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story.

Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her “The Lady of the Sand”.

Simonova said that she never dreamed she’d become a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonoova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the solider is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry.

Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people. Art of painting is in our life, even in the sand.

1.Which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sandpainting?

A. Glue B. A printed picture

C. Colored paper D. Water

2.What do we know about Simonva?

A. She is the best painter in the world

B. Being a sand artist is her biggest dream

C. She once gave up performing for her family

D. Her performances are popular with people

3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. How sandpainting is becoming popular

B. Why sandpainting is becoming popular

C. How an image is created in the sand

D. What sandpainting tries to express

4.The underlined word “persevered” can be replaced by _______.

A. set off B. gave out

C. held on D. ended up

There is no doubt that the United States has entered a brand new age, because Donald Trump, the country’s 45th president, is very different from any president before him.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, his opponent, and most former US presidents, who entered the election after years of being politicians, Trump, 70, was a New York real estate businessman.

And he was not a presidential candidate who worked hard to keep a perfect public image of a man who was always caring, fair and wise.

Instead, Trump is famous for being bad-tempered, arrogant and hateful toward those who disagree with him. He also hates immigrants, both from Latin America and the Middle East, for many problems in the US. This has caused a dangerous division in the country—a country made up of many various races.

But to his supporters, the fact that Trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages. His habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a hypocrite like many politicians are.

“We have seen our country take a downturn in the eyes of the world. We need to go in a different direction, ” Binyomin Weisswasser, 39, a man from Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. “Trump’s not a politician... I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. You may not like it, but you know what it is.”

But interestingly, many who elected Trump actually followed the “l(fā)esser of two evils” principle—one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant options—simply because they didn’t think Clinton was a better choice.

“He’s the candidate I disagree less with, ” Jack Stucky, 20, a student at Norwestern University, told the Chicago Tribune. “I don’t think I’d say Donald Trump is going to be the best president ever, but I did think he’d be better than Hillary Clinton.”

It’s true that the US is entering a new age. It’s just not clear yet what kind of age it’s going to be.

1.What’s the difference between Trump and any president before him?

A. He knew little about politics before the presidential election.

B. He didn’t try to keep a perfect public image.

C. He gained popularity by his bad reputation.

D. He is not always politically correct and speaks his mind.

2.The underlined words “a hypocrite” is closely related in meaning to _____.

A. a dishonest person B. a caring person

C. a shy person D. a selfish person

3.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. It reports on people’s different views on Trump’s victory in the election.

B. It explores the advantages Trump has over Hillary in the election.

C. It predicts what changes Trump will bring to the US.

D. It analyzes the reasons for Trump’s victory in the election.

We all do it. We make huge plans for New Year's Eve. As the big day approaches, we start building expectations, planning the best night of our lives. And yet, it rarely lives up. After all, how could it? We set unrealistic goals for a single night when many places are crowded and loud, there are tons of noisy drunk people, and an astronomical bill comes at the end of the evening. You're left wondering, "Was it worth it?" Fortunately, all it takes is a little reconsideration of your expectations to make sure this year's big night is one to remember.

If you get smashed on New Year's Eve, it is likely that you won't even remember what you did and whether or not you had fun. That's not saying there's something wrong with having a couple of glasses of wine at midnight. After all, it is a celebration. Just keep it light, since you want to remember the fun you had with your friends and family. After all, do you really want to spend the first day of the new year with drunkenness?

Many people like to spend the holidays with their friends and family. You could reserve a table at a favorite restaurant, but how about staying home and cooking? There's nothing worse than having to shout across the table because the restaurant is so crowded, except maybe waiting in line for an hour or more for that privilege. Never mind the bill will almost always be significantly higher than it would be almost any other night of the year. If you love to cook, you can make a great meal that everyone can enjoy.

A great idea for an at-home New Year's Eve party is wonderful. If it's a large get-together, it might be difficult to have a sit-down meal due to space restrictions, but a buffet is always a good choice. You just need to display the dishes for them to choose as they wish. Consider your space and guests' comfort when deciding what to serve.

1.Why do our huge plans for New Year's Eve usually fail?

A. We waste too much money on dinner.

B. There are drunken people everywhere.

C. Every place is crowded with people.

D. We pin too much on a single night.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "smashed" in Paragraph 2?

A. Tired. B. Drunk.

C. Bored. D. Excited.

3.What did the author suggest doing to spend holidays with your friends and family?

A. Treating them at home.

B. Inviting them to dinner outside.

C. Waiting in line for a favorite restaurant.

D. Booking a great meal that everyone can enjoy.

4.What should you do if your home is not big enough?

A. Try to arrange a sit-down meal for your friends.

B. Serve a small meal according to your space.

C. Let your friends help themselves to dishes.

D. Consider your guests' comfort only.
