Last week Adele's second album, 21, sold 257,000 copies in the UK, a sales figure that would look incredible as an opening sales week for any album by any global superstar. The fact that the album was celebrating its 10th week at No.1, and that each of the previous nine weeks it had sold over 100,000 copies, makes what Adele has achieved look miraculous. The last female singer to spend that long at No.1 in the UK was Madonna in 1990 with her greatest hits compilation, The Immaculate Collection.
For Adele, the success of 21 is part of a perfect storm of talent, timing and a connection that went beyond gender, age and credibility. But what does it say about the state of the music industry? Does Adele's success signal a return to the MOR(适合大众口味的音乐) musical depression, when the likes of James Blunt dominated the charts? Her success may well lead to a great many similar acts aiming for an MOR audience, but that's more the fault of an industry desperate to recreate any kind of success by creating poor copies until the world shouts "stop now".
What seems to have set Adele apart is her apparent ordinariness, besides that incredible voice. While Gaga parades around in a dress made of meat and Beyonce orbits a world out of touch to the majority of most human beings, Adele's chain-smoking, girl-you'd-like-to-go-to-the-pub-with persona stands out. Even for a British act, her ordinariness goes against trend, with fellow Jessie J adopting a very American habit of over-emoting, talking about a "journey" and making the idea of being a pop star seem fairly difficult.
It's this universality and broad appeal that's helped her translate talent into sales. While the first single from 21, Rolling in the Deep, appealed to Radio 1 listeners and bloggers, the second single, Someone Like You, is so successful that silenced the grand O2 Arena during this year's Brit Awards. The press can write pages and pages in that there's enough of a connection of musicians – Rick Rubin worked on the album, there's a cover of the Cure, Mumford & Sons were an influence – while the gossip magazines have been excited by the fact that the album is one long break-up record, eager to find the ex.
In 1990, Madonna was a global superstar with a back catalogue of era-defining hits to her name. She was untouchable and, tellingly, unknowable. She was (and still is) a megastar, but a megastar of a different age. These days, we want to know a bit more about our artists; that they have relationship problems, walk their dog. Her selling point and appeal is precisely the fact that she exists at the point between everyday ordinariness and pop star.
For now, Adele's success should be celebrated, especially for becoming an unlikely global star on her own terms. The danger is that we're headed for a lot of fairly boring pop, a situation that led to the "birth" of Gaga a few years back. Pop goes in cycles and it feels like we're headed back towards the very middle of MOR.
【小题1】Adele’s achievement seems unbelievable for the reason that ____________.

A．the sales of her second album achieved an incredible success last week in the UK

B．her second album ranked first in a row with the incredible average sales per week

C．Madonna was the last female singer in the UK to stay at No. 1 as long as she did

D．she is such an ordinary singer with so fascinating a voice in the music industry

【小题2】According to the author, the success of Adele’s second album __________________.

A．to a large extent depends on her apparent talent for music

B．is because of her extraordinariness and the wonderful voice

C．lies in gift, timing and something beyond sex, age and trust

D．is largely due to the state of the music industry currently

【小题3】Compared with other female pop stars, what does the author think of Adele?

Many of you may think healthy eating means you have to replace the foods you love with

those you don’t.

The truth，though，is that keeping a healthy diet can be fun. Just ask Julie Upton，an ex-pert on nutrition and health in the US. Upton wants to advise teens everywhere to eat

healthier. She gives some suggestions on how to do just that.

Q：What motivations should you keep in mind to eat healthy?

A：I suggest setting goals for yourself. For example, it may be a goal to have one piece of fruit with lunch every day for a month, or to avoid eating fast food completely for the next month. Also focus on telling yourself，“What I eat now will affect how I look and feel a few

weeks from now，or how well I perform at school or in sports.”

Q：What nutrients should teens consume every day？

A：It depends on if you are a boy or a girl and how active you are. The best place to find

your ideal nutrient requirements is www. my pyramid. gov. Enter your gender（sex)，age and

activity level. It will tell you how many calories you need a day. It will also break that into

how many servings of each of the food groups those calories should come from.

In general，most teens need about 2，500 to 3，500 calories every day.

Q：What can teens do to make healthy snacking a fun habit？

A：Teens are influential. Your good habits can influence lots of people, including your friend, younger sisters and brothers． You could do challenges with friends about eating better. I think any way you can involve your friends，will help you succeed.

Also get your family in on the health pleasure. If your parents do the food shopping， they have to know what to buy，so you need to tell them that you want healthier foods at home.

1．In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this article?

A．Science Life B．Campus Trends

C．Culture Leisure D．Commercial World

2．What is the person who asks the three questions?

A．An expert on nutrition and health. B．A patient requiring many calories.

C．A journalist working for a newspaper. D．An official affected by health problems.

3．To keep healthy，teens ．

A．have to replace the foods they love with those they don’t

B．need about 2500 to 3500 calories every week

C．can pay little attention to their relatives’ and friends’ influence

D．are suggested keeping certain motivations in mind

4．Which of the following statements would the author of this essay agree with？

A．You can eat healthily，but not pleasantly at the same time.

B．You don’t have to give up your favourite foods in order to eat healthy.

C．Your gender has no effect on what nutrients you should consume every day.

D．Www. my pyramid. gov is a website meant for teens only.
