Among all of Houston’s outstanding achievements, including a total of more than 400 career a wards , her most significant achievement was her record-setting string of seven Number One singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . It broke the previous record of six set by The Bee Gees and The Beatles. The string began on October 26 , 1985 with her Grammy-winning hit “Saving All My Love For You,” and ended on April 23, 1988 with her R＆B ballad “Where Do Broken Hearts Go.” It was the fourth single from her album“Whitney”to go to Number One, also a record for a female artist. She sold more than 170 million albums worldwide and co-produced and recorded songs for one of the best-selling soundtracks（声带）of all time, The Bodyguard.
    Whitney Houston was born the daughter of famed gospel（福音）singer Cissy Houston in Newak , New Jersey. Dionne Warwick was her cousin and Aretha Franklin her godmother. She began as a gospel singer and pianist in her mother’s church and sometimes performed alongside her in nightclubs. At age 15 , Whitney sang backup on Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman,” a tune she later performed on The Bodyguard soundtrack.
    Whitney signed with Arista in 1983 and released her self-titied debut album two years later.

In 1998, she released her most musically-diverse album to date, “My Love Is Your Love.” The title track became her third best-selling single ever.
    The past 10 years were filled with highs and lows. While Whitney’s contract at Arista Records was renewed for ＄100 million, album sales began to slide. Her 14-year marriage to singer Bobby Brown ended in 2007 , she canceled concerts and interviews , and accusation arose of drug abuse.

    B
    LOS ANGELES-British singing sensation Susan Boyle’s first album quickly climbed to No. 1 on U.S. album charts on Wednesday with sales of 701,000 copies, beating new releases by Adam Lambert and Rihanna and becoming the best-selling debut(首次演出) of 2009. Boyle, 48, a frumpy Scottish singer, who became an international YouTube phenomenon after appearing on TV show “Britain’s Got Talent”, also topped the British album charts earlier this week.
    Her “I Dreamed a Dream” release through Sony Music Entertainment, marked the best U.S. opening of a female artist's debut album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, Billboard.com said. It was also the fastest selling album in Britain this year and has topped the charts in Australia and Ireland.
    Billboard said only one album in SoundScan’s tracking history had seen a bigger opening week than Boyle. U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg’s album “Doggystyle” sold 803,000 copies in its first week in 1993—before traditional album sales began tumbling(falling rapidly) in the face of piracy(盗版) and a shift to digital sales.
    Although Boyle finally failed to win “Britain’s Got Talent”, her April trial hearing for the show has been viewed more than 300 million times on the Internet.
    In a good week for stars of TV talent shows, “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert’s debut album “For Your Entertainment”, also released through Sony, debuted at No.3 on the Billboard 200 with 198,000 copies sold. Lambert’s strong showing followed headline news coverage of his bad televised live performance at the American Music Awards 10 days ago in which he aroused oral sex with a dancer and kissed a male keyboard player.
    R&B singer Rihanna’s “Rated R”, her first studio album since being attacked by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown in February, bowed in at No.4 with 181,000 copies—the best sales week in the 21-year-old singer’s career.
    Italian singer Andrea Bocelli held onto the No.2 spot for a third week with his “My Christmas” album with 218,000 new copies sold during the week, SoundScan said.
    60. According to the passage, what albums were released through Sony Music Entertainment?
    A. Doggystyle and I Dreamed a Dream.
    B. For Your Entertainment and I Dreamed a Dream.
    C. Rated R and Doggystyle.
    D. My Christmas and For Your Entertainment.
    61. What do you learn from the passage?
    A. Doggystyle marked the biggest opening week in SoundScan’s tracking history.
    B. I Dreamed a Dream was the fastest selling album in English-speaking countries.
    C. Upon its release, Boyle’s first album ranked first on album charts on Wednesday.
    D. Boyle became world-famous after she won Britain’s Got Talent.
    62. Who may perform crazily and leave audience a bad impression?
    A. Susan Boyle.       B. Andrea Bocelli.     C. Rihanna.        D. Adam Lambert.           
    63. From the passage we can conclude _______.
    A. The albums could have sold better if it had not been for piracy and a shift to digital sales
    B. Boyle became world-famous because she was a female artist.
    C. Being attacked by her then-boyfriend might decrease the sales of Rihanna’s Rated R.
    D. Andrea Bocelli’s album My Christmas only kept the No. 2 spot for two weeks.

    Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．

             The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just "go to the mall" and spend time with their friends．

             The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys "R" Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．

             Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．

             And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While, online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store．And privacy of personal information may be let out．

    1.Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?

             ①small stores          ②superstores ③shopping malls     ④shopping online

             ⑤supermarkets

             A．①②③④⑤           B．①⑤②③④

             A．Shopping malls．      B.  Small stores．   

             C．Supermarkets．            D.  Superstores．

    3.Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?

    A．Because they are built near small towns．

             B．Because they are across the United States．

             C．Because they sell all kinds of products people need．

             D．Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the price．

    4.What's the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?

             A．Wasting time．            B．Leaking personal information．

             C．Fixed prices．           D．No chance to do physical activities.
