Writers used to approach publishers to have their work read by the public. Now they can simply post them and find millions of instant audience.

After breaking up with her boyfriend, Bao Jingjing started “making up” a love story simply to distract her attention. Her story of a girl suffering the pain like hers progressed quickly, attracting many readers.

When Bao stopped writing as she reunited with her boyfriend, she was urged to continue, as readers wanted to know what happened next. Bao finished it soon. It became so popular that it was turned into a best-seller. To cap it all off, Bao’s novel was later adapted into a successful movie.

Bao’s story is only one of many Internet novels that have landed deals for physical books, TV shows and films. Unlike traditional writers who buried themselves in their books for years, some young writers like Bao have got readers rapidly online and found overnight success.

Bao admits her success was unexpected. She still remembers how surprised her parents were when she proudly gave them her copyright earnings. Online literature forums(论坛) are platforms for grassroots writers to succeed.

In recent years, Zhang Wei, known as “Tangjiasanshao”, has earned 177 million yuan by his fingers though working as an author was beyond his dreams. He topped the list of wealthiest Chinese Internet novelists twice and was the only online writer to be listed on the 2014 Forbes “Chinese Celebrity List”.

He admits that he is one of the few writers at the top of the pyramid while most online writers remain unknown. However, he urged that his success can be achieved by others, as long as “they write hard enough”.

1.According to the passage, we know that ________.

A. Bao Jingjing’s parents didn’t want her to be a writer

B. Bao Jingjing didn’t really expect her success overnight

C. Bao Jingjing didn’t finish her first online love story

D. Bao Jingjing’s first online story was turned into a TV show

2.The author mentioned Zhang Wei’s example mainly to ________.

A. introduce another online writer to the readers

B. show the example of another online writer’s success

C. encourage readers to become online writers

D. express his admiration for online writer Zhang Wei

3.What can we infer from what Zhang Wei says in the last paragraph?

A. Few words, many deeds. B. First try, and then trust.

C. Harm set, harm get. D. No pains, no gains.

Humans have long been interested greatly in the idea of being able to walk on water. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever realizing this dream without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much, and all our weight pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.

However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will reach a speed of 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans, we would need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create enough “hitting”.

But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour(玉米淀粉). By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a special mixture that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the water get together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of this adequately thick liquid of cornflour.

Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings(救生圈) ready in case you start to sink—and take a bath afterward!

1.Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans _________.

A. are not interested in it

B. are afraid to make an attempt

C. have not invented proper tools

D. have biological limitations

2.What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?

A. It is light enough to walk on water.

B. It can run across water at a certain speed.

C. Its huge feet make it able to stay above water.

D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.

3.What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?

A. To help the liquid behave normally.

B. To turn the water into solid.

C. To create a thick liquid.

D. To make the water move rapidly.

4.What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?

A. It is risky but beneficial.

B. It is impractical though possible in thoery.

C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.

D. It is interesting and worth trying.

Droughts in California

A terrible drought has created trouble in California, USA. A drought is a long period of time with little rain or snow. That means there isn’t enough water. Droughts are natural disasters. But unlike earthquakes or hurricanes(飓风), droughts do not happen suddenly.1.

The drought in the western United States began four years ago. California has been hit hardest. About 95% of the state now has serious drought conditions. About 3,500 people in East Porterville, California, have no running water in their homes. 2. Some people haven’t had running water for years. Rivers and lakes have been drying up, too. That’s a problem for fish and animals. 3. As a result, farms might lose more than $2 billion in 2015. More than 18,000 farm jobs have been lost.

Scientists aren’t sure when the problem will end. A rainy autumn and winter could help. Experts say it will take 11 trillion gallons(加仑) of water to end the drought. 4. They take the water home for washing dishes, cleaning toilets, and more. 5. They’ve stopped watering lawns(草坪) and washing cars. “We need to make the best use of what we have,” explains weather scientist Michael Anderson.

A. Instead, they happen slowly.

B. Without water, farms can’t grow as much food.

C. Future droughts in California are likely to last longer.

D. That’s because the drought has caused their wells to dry up.

E. All across California, people are saving water any way they can.

F. California is a state located on the West Coast of the United States.
