11.Do you now who Stefani Germanotta is?Perhaps not,but you'll almost certainly know the star called Lady Gaga,a 24-year-old American famous for her cutting edge pop videos and strange fashion sense.She was the biggest winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid on November 7,2010.Her awards included the best female artist and the best song.
Her popularity doesn't end there.The BBC reports that the University of South Carolina has a sociology course about the life,work and rise to fame of Lady Gaga.The course is due to start in spring 2011."We're going to look at Lady Gaga as a social event,"said professor Mathieu,who will teach Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame.
Germanotta,in fact,is a college student.She learned to play the piano by age 4.At age 17,she was one of the only 20young people to get early admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts,the famous music school.Yet after her second semester,she took a big risk-she decided to quit and concentrate on a music career.But hwo did she manage to go from nowhere to supar star in just two years?
She may well have had a plan for the top.She created"The Ultimate Pop Burlesque Show"with another artist.It was the first of many strange images.The pair gained enough attention to get a spot at a famous music festival in Chicago.Later,a record company signed Germanotta.
While Lady Gaga enjoys popularity,there are critics accusing her of regularly using rude language in her lyrics(歌詞) and wearing overly sexy clothing.

53.According to the article,Lady Gaga is famous forB.
A.her fashion shows           B.her strange images
C.her talents in university   D.her winning awards
54.Which of the following is the correct order for the stages of Gaga's career?C
a.She appeared in a music festival in Chicago   b.She won the award-the best female
c.She decided to quit school                 d.She created a show with another artist
e.She was signed by a record company        f.Her success has become a university course
A.b-f-c-a-d-e      B.b-f-c-d-a-e
C.c-d-a-e-b-f      D.c-d-a-e-f-b
55.The main reason why Lady Gaga could become famous is thatB.
A.she knew her dream of life        B.she knew what she would do next
C.she learned music at a young age  D.she ws brave enough to quit university
56.From this passage,we can infer thatD.
A.a(chǎn) good performance in university may lead to one's success.
B.cooperation with other artists is important in becoming successful
C.Lady Gaga will become less famous because of her lyrics and clothing
D.Professor Mathieu believes that Lady Gaga's success is worth studying.

Posting a photo of the food you're about to eat on WeChat has become a daily ritual(慣例;儀式) for many.Often this food in the photo isn't as appealing to those looking at it,but scientists are now claiming taking a photo of your food before you eat it makes it taste better.
Researchers at University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management claim taking a photo puts you in the moment and in doing so,heightens your (41)I.The person taking the photo will,on some level,feel the motivation to continue the practice.
Researchers wondered about the power of rituals after noticing the funny (42)K that people often perform before eating and drinking.They conducted experiments to investigate whether these kinds of habitual behaviour influences taste.
In the first experiment,some participants were asked to eat a piece of chocolate following a detailed set of (43)A:‘Without unwrapping the chocolate bar,break it in half.Unwrap half of the bar and eat it.Then,unwrap the other half and eat it.'The other participants were (44)E instructed to relax for a short amount of time and then eat the chocolate bar however they wanted.
The results showed that those who had performed the ritual rated the chocolate more (45)C,enjoyed it more,and were willing to pay more for the chocolate than the other group.
A second experiment (46)H these findings,showing that (47)B movements don't produce a more enjoyable eating experience.The data also (48)D that a longer delay between ritual and consumption enhanced these effects,even with a common food like carrots.
While these rituals may seem insignificant,the researchers note that the effects they produce are quite amazing.And while rituals are (49)J before mealtimes,they could play a role in other (50)G,too.
