On March 5, 2009, Michael Jackson stood in front of crowds of fans.Before screaming fans, he pronounced with pumping arms: "This is it!"
A few months later, Jackson was dead.With the late pop star’s return to radio, television and the cultural events, Forbes judges that Jackson has made $90 million since his death June 25.This figure is based on his royalties(版税) from album sales, radio play, rights to his name and royalties from his stock in the Sony/ATV music catalog (编目权).
Jackson's music was his most easily-seen source in the last months.“Nothing increases the value of an artist than death ...an untimely death,” says Barry Massarsky, a music industry economist.
The music's immediate value was clear.Since June, Jackson has sold more than 5.9 million albums in the U.S.and another 4.5 million overseas.In the first weeks after his death, there were 5.6 million single downloads across North America, Europe and Australia.Jackson recently has three of the top 20 best-selling albums of the year in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.His 2003 hits album Number Ones is the best seller of the year, beating Taylor Swift's Fearless.
More than 500,000 Jackson ringtones and 100,000 music videos were sold.In the week following his death, songs by The Jackson 5, The Jacksons and Michael were played over 100,000 times on the radio, according to Nielsen BDS.
Jackson's estate(遗产)will likely see more money by the end of this year, as it has rights to some of the profits from This Is It as well as the two-disc album of the same name.The estate will share 90% of the film profits with AEG.
Ticket sales from an exhibit opening in London will also contribute a likely profit.Hundreds of Jackson's personal belongings-his L.A.Rolls Royce etc-will remain on show for three months at the O2 Arena for fans willing to shell out $25 for a view.
The pop singer bought ATV Publishing, for $47.5 million in 1985.Ten years later, he sold the catalog to Sony for $95 million and took a 50% stock in Sony/ATV, which is now worth about $1.7 to $2 billion.So he still owned half the Sony/ATV catalog at his death.
Jackson's future earning potential is based on his stock in valuable music as well as the value of his image(肖像).As many musicians, actors and artists before him, Jackson's fame could have a long tail on the market with allowable products, advertising and entertainment events.

第二节 读写任务(共l小题,满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the crucial first step if we are to have good relationships with others. How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationship with ourselves?
Here are some tips:
1. Forgive yourself
You may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. It’s true that you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. It’s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.
2. Focus on your strengths
Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.
3. Stop comparing yourself with others
You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.
