         Mr. Andrews was waiting for a subway train in the city. The train pulled into the station and stopped.
    As Andrews was getting ready to board the train, he saw an elderly blind man fall to the tracks (站台).
    David Schnair, aged 75, had mistaken the space between two subway cars for a door, while feeling his
    way with a cane. Instead of ending up inside the train, Schnair fell off the platform and landed under the
    train.
         Andrews jumped down to the tracks to save Schnair. He pulled the man to safety. Onlookers immediately
    declared Andrews a hero. Messages began to pour in from all over the country. Some people sent checks.
    The largest was for $3,000. President called Andrews and wished him a Merry Christmas and a good new
    year.
         Andrews had been on the subway because he was returning from a job interview. He probably would
    have been hired anyway, but all the good publicity (宣传) made it a sure thing.
         After about a week of newspaper stories and donations of food, money and gifts for his children, Andrews
    faded from limelight    . Most people assumed that the story had come to a happy ending, but it didn't quite
    happen that way. Andrews did start his new job, but the company moved to New Jersey. Andrews didn't
    have any way to get to work, so he had to give up. It wasn't long before he was back to job hunting and
    being discouraged again. Few newspapers, however, bothered to tell their readers what happened to Mr.
    Andrews after he became a hero.
    1. Schnair fell off the platform because _____.
    [     ]
    A. onlookers pushed him down
    B. he was walking carelessly
    C. he thought he was at a door
    D. the train got to the station fast
    2. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 4?
    [     ]
    A. Andrews disappeared from the public attention.
    B. Andrews lost his job for his fame.
    C. Andrews gained his popularity with the public.
    D. Andrews lost his interest in newspaper.
    3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    [     ]
    A. it was not wise for Andrews to give up his job
    B. the public didn't show enough kindness to Andrews
    C. the newspapers paid little attention to Andrews' life
    D. life is difficult for the unemployed
    1-3: C A C

                                                                          Mr Perfect
         With a healthy image, handsome face and Japan's coolest haircut, Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城武) is one of
    Asia's most attractive stars.
         When "Turn Left Turn Right" (<<向左走向右走>>) opens in Chinese cinemas next month, there's no
    doubt the 29-year-old boy will get even more attention.
         Takeshi stars as John, a lonely violin player who falls in love with a translator called Eve, played by Gigi
    Leung(梁咏琪). Many of Takeshi's fans like to copy his haircut, clothes and even his smile. But they will find
    it hard to copy the way he plays the violin in the movie. He impressed his director To Keifung (杜琪峰) by
    learning to play the violin in a few weeks.
         This attitude to hard work is one of the reasons why Takeshi is such a good role model for young people.
    Like many young people, he values friendship more than anything else. "My best friends are my former
    schoolmates," he once said,"We became close when we were at school and will be friends forever."
          Besides his good looks and hairstyle, he is well known for his healthy image. He started his acting career at
    the young age of 15 but, unlike other pop stars, he has rarely behaved badly. He stays away from drugs,
    alcohol and cigarettes. Violence, rude words and dirty jokes seldom appear in his movies.
         "I hated foreign language classes when I was in school, but now I find speaking several languages helps me
    a lot in my career," he said. For someone who only took up acting, Takeshi has come far. No doubt his star
    will rise even higher.
    1. The title "Mr. perfect" suggests that _____.
    A. Takeshi always plays a perfect role in the film
    B. Takeshi impressed his audience and fans with a perfect image
    C. Takeshi acts perfectly in all the films
    D. Takeshi can speak Chinese perfectly
    2. According to the passage, which of the following is right? 
    A. Takeshi has become even more attractive because of the film "Turn Left Turn Right".
    B. Takeshi falls in love with Gigi Leung
    C. Fans like to copy his life style including the way he smokes.
    D. Takeshi will be more successful in the future.
    3. Why is Takeshi thought to be "healthy"?
    A. He works hard.
    B. He is seldom ill.
    C. He behaves in a healthy way.
    D. Both A and C
    4. The reason why Takeshi took up acting is that ______. 　　
    A. he wanted to buy a motorbike 　　
    B. he loves movies more than anything else 　　
    C. he was attracted by some movie stars when he was 15 　　
    D. none of the above
