The latest Chinese "god song" (an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally(病毒性地) through Internet) is still stirring fierce debate between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as bad for China's image.

Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.

But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration as significant, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effect it will have on Chinese culture's "going abroad", claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture.

The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their work, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo's film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.

From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grassroots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China's major video website.

Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as musical "junk food", Little Apple's popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.

1. The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ______.

A. opposed B. negative

C. objective D. critical

2.What does the underlined words “the duo” refer to？

A. Little Apple B. Chopsticks brothers

C. Zhang Jie D. American singer

3.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Little Apple's popularity is also a success of marketing strategy

B. Little Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMA

C. Little Apple is really popular with all people in China

D. Little Apple was originally released as a pop song on the Internet

First of all,good talkers ask questions. 2.. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question，but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. 3. .

Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 5.. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

People from all over the world visit Disneyland to have fun, not to get sick. But last week， an outbreak of measles（麻疹）spread from the Southern California theme park. As of Monday, January 19, at least 52 people have got the easily spread illness.
