A cute white cat peeks out of a hole with only its head visible. A long-eared rabbit licks its lips while looking up at a carrot. These aren’t real scenes in a natural park. Instead, they’re paintings in tree holes on a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. Hundreds of people are visiting the artistic road to take photos of the new paintings.
The creator of these eye-catching paintings is Wang Yue, 23. She describes her tree hole paintings as “a beautiful journey” through which she adds fun and vitality (活力) to her hometown.
“When I saw the trees by the roadside had lost all their leaves, and the ugly tree holes became obvious, I thought that if I could paint some interesting scenes in these holes they might add some color to the city,” said Wang Yue.
But Wang was worried that her watercolor paints could hurt the trees. When Wang got permission from city officials, she gathered her color palette, brushes and a stool and got to work.
Her first painting was of rosy clouds, but many passers-by couldn’t understand it. “Perhaps it was too abstract,” said Wang Yue. After that, she began to paint animals. Using her paintbrush she creatively placed a raccoon(浣熊), a squirrel and a cat in the holes.
Wang’s friends shared her works on their micro blogs and she became a hit. Her next aim is to tell stories rather than painting individual animals. “I was glad to let people see life’s beauty. I hope more artists can join me in painting the tree holes,” she said.
1.Why did Wang Yue begin to create paintings in the tree holes?
A. To practice painting and have fun.
B. To prevent the tree leaves from falling.
C. To have passers-by take photos of her paintings.
D. To make the city more colorful and lively.
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Wang’s first painting hurt the trees and city officials stopped her work.
B. Wang’s first painting wasn’t popular because she wasn’t skillful then.
C. Wang became successful partly because of her friends’ micro blogs.
D. Wang would continue to centre her works on individual animals.
【小3】Which is the best title for the text?
A. Paintings in Tree Holes Become Popular.
B. Paintings Bring Grey Road to Life.
C. Wang Yue---A Girl Who Has Become a Hit.
D. Join in Painting the Tree Holes!

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔隊) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小報) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities(famous people名人) worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy(隱私). Tabloids(小報) of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
1.It can be learned from the passage that stars today______
A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected
C. spend too much on their public appearance
D. care little about how they have come into fame
2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
3. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity(famous people名人)today?
A. Availability of modern media.
B. improper social recognition.
C. Lack of favorable chances.
D. Huge population of fans.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A. Sincere B. doubtful
C. objective D. Sympathetic

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a wonderfully written book ”. however, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all .I felt that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t .In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty(愧疚的) Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten .But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one ,George Orwell’s 1984.I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either )and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in –depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella(ah, the big sellers, in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
1.How did the author think of Dreams From My Father?
A. It was his favorite.
B. It made little sense.
C . He was very fond of it.
D. He totally had no idea.
2.What can we learn from “Report on Guilty Secrets”?
A. 58% of people haven’t read 1984.
B. All of the listed authors are unknown.
C. Many people have ever lied about reading.
D. Dreams From My Father isn’t among the top ten.
3.Why do people probably lie about reading?
A. To admire the writer.
B. To advertise the book.
C. To start a conversation.
D. To leave a good impression.
4.What’s the tone (語氣) of the author in the article?
A. Very friendly.
B. A little humorous.
C. Rather confusing
D. Quite cautious.
