If boy wizard Harry Potter uses his magic to capture the hearts of millions of teenagers, high school students Gabriella and Troy have charmed American boys and girls with their stories of campus life.

       They are the leading characters in High School Musical, a series of hugely successful films in the US. The sequel （續(xù)集）, High School Musical 3, came out on October 24 and has topped the American box office for two straight weeks.

       The show has everything attractive to teenagers—dancing, catchy music, puppy love and good looks. The story starts when high school basketball star Troy and brainy Gabriella —two teenagers who are worlds apart—meet during the winter break. At a karaoke contest they discover their love for singing and an interest in each other. When school starts, Troy finds out that Gabriella is the new girl at his school.

       Eager to find the magic they had during karaoke, Troy and Gabriella decide to audition （試鏡） for the school’s upcoming musical. This angers the school’s drama queen Sharpay. However, they overcome difficulties and become the leading actors.

       But the story doesn't end there. High School Musical 2 follows their adventures over summer vacation when Sharpay tries to break up Troy and Gabriella. In the latest sequel, high school seniors are facing the possibilities of being separated from each other as they go off in different directions when graduating from high school.

       Joined by the rest of their friends, Troy and Gabriella stage a musical reflecting （反映） their experiences, hopes and fears about the future.

       "The success of the High School Musical films shows Disney's long-term efforts to attract youngsters for whom Mickey Mouse seems too babyish," wrote New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff. "For the time being, the movie has made fictional high school students as recognizable as that 79-year-old mouse."

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We’re moving house.’; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn’t know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
【小題1】How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?

A．Shocked.B．Sympathetic.C．Annoyed.D．Upset.
【小題2】In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie ______.
A．felt worriedB．was angry C．a(chǎn)te a little D．sat by the fire
【小題3】Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ______.
A．saw her puppiesB．heard familiar barking
C．wanted to leave the authorD．found her way to her old home
【小題4】 The passage is organized in order of ______.
A．timeB．effectivenessC．importanceD．complexity

Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity（逆境）. But it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage（勇氣）to try.
J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. Her good friend-Sean became the first person to encourage her and help her build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.
“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition（志向） to be a writer. He was also the only person who thought I was bound to（注定）be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”
Though there were many difficulties, Rowling continued her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But it wasn't until l990 that she first came up with the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls（回憶）, it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that “the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into my head. To my great disappointment, I didn't have a pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details came up in my brain, and this thin, black-haired, bespectacled（戴眼鏡的）boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”
That same year, her mother died after a ten-year fight with serious diseases, which deeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.
During this time, Rowling was diagnosed with depression（診斷患有抑郁癥）. Unemployed, she finished her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After being refused by l2 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.
Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her friend’s encouragement as well as her ambition to write.
【小題1】 Who believed J. K. Rowling was to be a good writer?

A．Her friend Sean.B．Her mother.
C．Her daughter.D．Her husband.
【小題2】Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter________.
A．a(chǎn)t the age of 6
B．on a train journey
C．a(chǎn)fter her mother's death
D．in her secondary school
【小題3】 She felt disappointed on the train because_________.
A．her train was delayed for four hours
B．she didn't have a pen with her
C．her mind suddenly went blank
D．no one would offer her help
【小題4】 It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is_________.
A．open-minded B．warm-hearted
C．good-natured D．strong-willed
【小題5】 The text mainly tells us_________.
A．a(chǎn)dversity makes a good novelist
B．the courage to try is a special ability
C．you can have a wonderful idea everywhere
D．encouragement helps one succeed
