Asia Pop Idol(偶像)：Rain

   He uses his stage name, Rain, when he works as a singer and dancer. His real name is Jung-Ji-hoon and he is also a famous actor.

   He showed his interest in dancing ever since he was in the 6^th grade. As a teenager, he was part of the boy band(乐队) group called “fan club”. Years later, Park Jin-young (Korean singer) took Rain under his wing and trained him for years in dancing and singing. During those training years Rain was not at home much and didn’t have enough money, so at times he had to train without meals.

   Finally in 2002 the song “Bad Guy” made him famous. Following the success of the first album(专辑), he came back with a new set of music in his 2^nd album. In 2004, he acted in a successful drama called Full House which was welcomed in other Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan. His performance in Full House has won him the “Best Actor Award” at the KBS Acting Awards. It is hard to describe his dancing with simple words because it is a mixture of so many different elements. He has created a whole new style of his own. In Beijing he won the “Best Korean Singer” Award. Since his success in 2002, the 26-year old has become one of the most popular Korean artists in Asia.

    Singer Park Jin-young once said to his friends, “I was always wondering whether Rain understood what I said because he never said anything when I scolded (责备) him. One day I entered his room, and was surprised to discover a wall covered with notes. Every note was filled with my words and advice. ” Rain had written down every single piece of advice his older friend had given him and had been doing his best to correct his mistakes and improve his skills.

Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it

There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t  (1)  ? It’s a question that more people are asking.

In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m  (2)   it’s the language of government, business and the media（媒体）. And it’s also the language that is used in schools.

Shanghai is a special city. It is modern, fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated.“I love riding on the b  (3)    and listening to people speaking Shanghaihua.” Miss Evans, an American reporter said. “ I don’t understand a word they are saying but I like the sound of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things “renao”（热闹）so even a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a  (4)   interesting.”

Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under more and more pressure（压力）to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l  (5)   often in everyday life. Some people want to keep the language from disappearing completely by building museums and having cultural festivals to save it. But a language isn’t a painting or a book. It’s a living thing and you e  (6)   use it or lose it.

If people stop using it in their d  (7)   lives, a museum or a festival will not help. It will be lost forever , like the Yangtze River dolphin.

Tourists in space

Man has been traveling into space for more than 40 years. Even today though, very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, about 30 per year. This is mainly because of the expense. It costs millions of yuan to train and send astronauts into space. Very few countries can   (1)   this.

This is why American businessman Dennis Tito paid 20,000,000 US dollars to the Russian space agency to go into space. He visited the International Space Station. His   (2)  , making him the first ever space tourist, took eight days altogether. He spent most of his time taking photos, looking at the Earth and listening to music on his once-in –a –lifetime trip.

After landing   (3)   back on earth, Mr. Tito thought the trip was worth the money. The only difficulty he had was walking but this is normal(正常) for anyone who’s been in zero gravity(重力).

Some people, especially in the American space agency, think that you must be   (4)   to go into space. They worry about the safety of other astronauts. However, Mr. Tito received training before he left. He also helped to prepare food for the others while in space. They told him what to do and where he was   (5)   to go.

A survey showed that 75% of Americans supported space tourism. Some people are bored of all the places on earth. They are looking for a new   (6)   trip and space is the place.

The money Mr. Tigo gave the Russians equaled 20% of their annual budget (年度预算). If we want to see men on Mars and other planets, we may need rich people   (7)   Mr. Tito to help us pay for it. The Russians have more rich people who want to become space tourists. They should take them.

There was once a king who had plenty of money and always bought beautiful clothes, but he was prouder of his boots than of anything else that he wore.

The king had a very good servant(仆人), but he was old. One day, the old servant died and another man came to take his place.

The king’s new servant was young and clever, but lazy. One morning, seeing that his boots had not been cleaned, the king called the new servant and said to him, “I’m going for a ride this morning, and my boots have not been cleaned.”

“Your Majesty(陛下),” answered the new servant very politely, “it rained a lot last night, and there is a lot of mud(泥) on the roads this morning. If I clean your boots now, they will soon get dirty again, so it is a waste of time to clean them.”

The king said nothing, but after he returned from his ride and had eaten his lunch, he did not leave any food for his servant as he usually did.

The servant waited and waited, and then at last when he felt very hungry, he said, “Please, Your Majesty, you have not given me anything for my lunch yet.”

“Oh,” answered the king calmly, “it would be a waste of time to give you any food now, because you would only be hungry again in a few hours’ time.”
