We don’t always get a second chance to achieve our dreams．But some people are lucky，like Matthew McConaughey．Once almost unknown，the actor has recently found himself back on the list of the best actors in HollywooD． His new movie Interstellar is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success．“The film relies on McConaughey’s performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of space travel and the end of the world，”Forbes commenteD．
But only years ago，the Texas native was often the butt of jokes（笑柄）about being too handsome．In 1993，after meeting with director Richard Linklater，McConaughey starred in Dazed and ConfuseD． And a Hollywood career was born，mostly in romantic comedies．For a long time，the whole world believed McConaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent．
But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie，and began to use his looks differently．Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor．In 2013，McConaughey was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers CluB． The role saw the normally muscular actor losing 50 pounds in order to appear sick．His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor．
The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his Oscar acceptance speech．When he was 15，the actor said，he decided that his hero would be himself in 10 years．But 10 years later，he pushed the deadline ahead another decade．Then 10 years later，another decade．“My hero’s always 10 years away，” he saiD． “I’m never going to attain that．That keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing．”Or perhaps constantly chasing the chance to be his own hero has given him a second chance to follow his dreams．

My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string players in our town. He could not music, but if he heard a tune a few times, he could play it.
Dad loved to play the mandolin for his for he knew we enjoyed singing, and hearing him play. He was always there, his time and efforts to making sure that his family had enough in their life. I had grown into a man and had children of my own I realized how much he had sacrificed.
I joined the United States Air in January of 1962. Whenever I would come home , I would ask Dad to play the mandolin. He could your soul with the tones that came out of that old mandolin. He seemed to shine when he was playing. You could see his in his ability to play so well for his family.
In 1950, our family moved to Maryland. While working at Todd Steel, he was in an accident. On that particular day, Dad got the third index finger of his left hand by the machine. Although he didn’t lose enough of the finger it would stop him picking up anything, it did his ability to play the mandolin. After the accident, every time we asked him to play, he would make for why he couldn’t play. Eventually, we could persuade him and he would say, “Okay. But I can’t hold down on the strings and play as well as before.” For the family it didn’t make any .
In August of 1993, my father was discovered with lung cancer. He chose not to receive treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life dignity. About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said “okay”. He knew it would probably be the time he would play for us. He tuned up the old mandolin and played a few . When I looked around, there was not a eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet man with an inner strength. Dad would never play the mandolin for us again. Dad was doing something he had done all his life, . As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad surely could play that Mandolin!

The Man Who Never Put a Foot Wrong
Some people do not like anything to be out of place: they are never late for work, they return their books to the library on time, they remember people’s birthdays, and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Dodds is such a person.

A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshiping South Korean actors Kin Soo hyun and Lee Min ho as demigods(偶像)．Chinese netizens(网民) always have different opinions．Over South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China, And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now．
You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs (继承者们) have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia．Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero You Who Came From The Star was a hard to get item on Amazon for a while．
The two TV programs have several common elements (因素)：a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman．Both programs describe the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug．Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still like Cinderella type stories．
The widening wealth gap is a matter of social concern both in South Korea and China, and the challenges that young people face in their hope for a better life might have caused many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men．This is precisely what the popular South Korean TV drams describe．In fact, South Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market’s demands．
Many netizens even said at an earlier time that South Korean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (模式化的) themes: traffic accidents, cancer and other incurable diseases．But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs, which Chinese directors can use as examples, as well as inspiration, to improve their productions．
1. What is the main reason for a new round of popularity in China?
A．The dramas are from the neighboring country North Korea．
B．Most of the Chinese netizens have voted for them．
C．The actors in the dramas are all gods．
D．It is because of You Who Came From The Star．
2.Which is NOT included in the elements for the success of South Korean dramas?
A．Charming pure love stories．
B．A tender kiss and a warm hug．
C．Handsome and rich heroes．
D．The heroine’s blind love with the rich．

A．develop in a large scale
B．be measured to a certain size
C．meet popular taste purposely
D．be shown in a big market
