         Millions of girls grow up with the hope of becoming a famous singer. Some even win local talent
    competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica
    Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.
         Andrews' first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home
    town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston.
    Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the
    first album Andrews ever bought.
         Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer
    Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina.
    With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同) with Dream
    Works' Nashville label.
         Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when
    she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also
    appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support
    act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.
         With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was
    certified (证明) gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an
    album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different
    feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on
    the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."
    1. What's the meaning of the underlined word "launched" in the fourth paragraph?
    A. Started.        
    B. Sent.        
    C. Aimed.        
    D. Set.
    2. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
    A. After Andrews sang Who I Am, she became a star in her own right.
    B. The Bodyguard was the first album Andrews ever bought.
    C. I Will Always Love You was originally sung by Whitney Houston.
    D. Now expresses a new feeling of Andrews.
    3. Which of the following may NOT be Andrews' album?
    A. Now.      
    B. Heart Shaped World.    
    C. The Prince of Egypt.  
    D. Who I Am.
    4. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
    A. Jessica Andrews" Life                    
    B. Jessica Andrews' Dream
    C. Jessica Andrews'  Success as a Singer        
    D. Jessica Andrews' Songs

    　　You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults’ fashion magazine Seventeen．

    　　“You is IN，” said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen．“You is active and mature(成熟的)because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies，to books on art, to movies．We found she’s the very style we’re looking for to represent young people’s attitudes．”

    　　You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year．As the hostess of an English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University，she is always praised for speaking English almost like a native speaker．“I’ve built up my English by watching thousands of English DVDs since I was 10,” she explained．

    　　But for her, watching isn’t enough．Last year，while in Senior 1, You met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school．
