A round of applause, please, for the Indian man who recently sang for 80 hours straight, setting a new Guinness world record. It’s an impressive feat, to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice.According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords can heal.
It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told DNAIndia.com.
I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm. Don’t get me wrong: I hope the 35-year-old Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity. But his record—singing for 80 hours straight—is about as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Granted, I’m not qualified to speak on the subject. I’ve got no world records to my name, and I never expect to have any. Then again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing an 80-hour medley of pop songs.
But let’s not just blame poor Burbure. He’s not the only person chasing meaningless reputation.The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, or built the biggest bicycle, or baked the largest cheesecake.
To all of these enterprising souls I ask, simply, “What was it all for?”
Congratulations! For all of your painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventually surpass you, with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more pounds of cheese.
After all, records are made to be broken.
60. From the text, we can conclude that the author _________.
A. thinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaningless
B. feels it a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the Burbures
C. is quite worried about Burbure’s vocal cords
D. has no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures’ feat
61. The author’s attitude to some Guinness world records is ________.
A. positive B. impressed C. negative D. touched
62. We can infer from the article that ________.
A. after the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speak
B. Burbure’s wife didn’t support his attempt to make a Guinness record
C. many have criticized Burbure for his stupid behavior
D. challenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health
63. What can possibly be the best title for the passage?
A. What Was the Point B. The Boring Guinness Book
C. A New Guinness Record D. Records Are Made to be Broken
