A Korean(韩国的) wave is sweeping across China. Many Chinese women think South Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun(金秀贤) and Lee Min-ho(李敏镐) are their demigods(男神). Chinese people have different ideas about South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. And a big part of the credit(功劳) for that goes to You Who Came From The Star《来自星星的你》, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
In You Who Came From The Star ,the top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun(全智贤) and Kim Soo-hyun recently earned a popularity rating(收视率) of 24.8 percent in their country.  You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs(继承者们) have  been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.
The two TV programs have several common elements(元素): a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves a woman and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs represent the purity of love. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still love Cinderella-type(灰姑娘型的) stories.
However, Chinese TV screens are full of poorly made soap operas(肥皂剧). Most of the Chinese TV dramas either describe the War against Japanese or blindly copy foreign programs. There are too many TV series on time travel or fights in the palace of Qing Dynasty (清朝1644-1911). These, in short, do harm to Chinese TV productions.
Hopefully, the success of South Korean TV programs will encourage Chinese TV drama makers to think of new ideas and give up their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.

Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it’s a very dangerous sport that people should be careful about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned by the water below—this could not be further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph (miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very important.
Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never dive because a diver’s body position at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety. Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves.
Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive. To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical. This is safer because it makes the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress on the body.
Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good idea, they actually increase the force of impact because they increase the surface area of the diver at impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver’s body and can lead to broken bones. Without a doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go.
Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person’s physical and mental skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What’s more, a person should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive.

【小题1】What does “this could not be further from the truth” mean?

A．There’s no doubt that this idea is definitely true.

B．This idea is thought to be completely wrong.

C．It depends on the real situation on the spot.

D．Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not.

【小题2】Why didn’t professional divers suggest wearing shoes?

A．Because wearing shoes can put more weight on to the diver

B．Because wearing shoes can cause the diver to feel uncomfortable

C．Because wearing shoes can make the point of contact bigger

D．Because wearing shoes can certainly lead to broken bones

【小题3】According to the passage, a good cliff diver should be __________.

A．well-prepared and skillful	B．professional and strong
C．creative and smarty	D．confident and brave

—Can you tell me _________________?
—Sure , she is a nurse in No.1 hospital .

A．what your mother is	B．what is your mother
C．who your mother is	D．who is your mother
