　　There is a real joke. When some guys were talking heatedly about“F4”in the living-room, the father came in and interrupted: “Which is more powerful. F-4 or F-16? ”The boys burst into laughter. Obviously, the father took F4 for a type of fighter plane. He didn’t know that F4 is a pop group extremely popular among young people these two years.

 　Then what does the “F” in F4 stand for? Fever or fortune? It is certainly not “failure”, for sure! We look at the success and appeal of these four stars from the popular drama Meteor Garden (流星花园), who took the island by storm during their brief visit here in November. For sure, they look good. Each of them being 1.80 metres tall, Jerry Yan, Vie Zhou, Ken Zhu and Vanness Wu are all very popular throughout the world.

　　But what exactly is the appeal of these four young guys? Nobody can tell. Maybe some young students are just following the fashion. Then why is Meteor Garden stopped from being shown on TV in China? Well, some young people just could not agree. But fact is fact. In fact, the students are not too young to tell black from white. And they must be clear that every coin has two sides.

　　While they find interest in F4, they must be clear what bad that drama will do to us.

1．The writer wants to make it clear to us that ________ .

[　　]

A．older people don't know about“F4”at all

B．“F4”has become the most famous pop stars in the world

2．What does the letter“F”in“F4”stand for?

C．Four.

D．The writer doesn't tell us.

3．Which of the following can we learn from this text?

[　　]

A．Some young people are not happy when Meteor Garden is stopped from being shown on TV in China.

B．The writer thinks it wrong that Meteor Garden is stopped from being shown on TV in China.

C．None of the older people really like F4 and Meteor Garden.

D．F4 is no longer allowed to come to the Chinese mainland.

4．The writer wants to tell young people that ________ .

[　　]

A．when they think about something, they must throw a coin

B．unlike young people, old people can tell the difference between black and white

C．the drama Meteor Garden is wrong, so they should not watch it

根据对话情景和内容，从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

John: Tom, would you please read this letter of application I’ve just written?   6  I really want to get a job.

Tom: It looks fine to me. But I have one suggestion.

John: Good! I’m interested in your advice.

Tom:  7  You should include more information about your work experience.

John: Good idea, Tom. What do you think about the second part?

Tom:  8

John: You are right. I’ll change it. How do you feel about the last part of the letter?

Tom: Very good.  9

John: I agree.  10  Do you think the end is all right?

Tom: Oh, yes, Jack. But personally I believe a business letter should end with “very truly yours”, not “sincerely”.

A.  If you don’t think it’s good, please say so.

B.  I’d better tear up the letter and start over again.

C.  But, unless I miss my guess, you should say something about your family too.

D.  Just make the few changes, I think, it will be perfect.

E.  I appreciate your helping me.

F.  Now that you ask me, I think it’s too short.

G.  If I were you, I’d write about my education first.
