A

SHANGHAI -- A musician who lost both arms in a childhood accident and plays the piano with his toes has won "China's Got Talent (中国达人秀)" performing his version of James Blunt's wistful(忧郁的) love song "You're Beautiful" to a packed audience at the Shanghai Stadium.

All three judges on the show Sunday praised 23-year-old Liu Wei for his determination, urging him to keep on pursuing his dreams, and the Beijing native said he would try quipping, "At least I have a pair of perfect legs."

For winning the Chinese version of Britain's Got Talent, Liu will be invited to play as a guest performer with Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. He also has the chance for a performing contract.

Liu's arms were amputated(截肢) after he suffered an electrical shock while playing hide-and-seek when he was 10.　 At age 18, he decided to pursue a career in music, using his feet to play the piano, much as he uses them to navigate on the computer, eat, dress and brush his teeth.

One year later, he was given the chance to work with the famous Hong Kong pop star Andy Lau and they composed the song Let It Be.

The jury panel(评审)of China's Got Talent, Shanghai stand-up(单人表演的) comedian Zhou Libo, Taiwan singer-actress Annie Yi and mainland pop composer Gao Xiaosong, all thought highly of Liu's performance.

While interviewed, Liu Wei said, " For me, there are only 2 paths in my life - either to die as fast as possible, or to live as brilliant a life as I could. " Whenever he is faced with difficulties, he always says to himself “Walk on, at least I have a pair of perfect legs."

China's Got Talent, a weekly program shown on local channel Dragon TV, has helped draw attention to the hopes and challenges of disabled and otherwise disadvantaged Chinese.

　 The program, which began in July, is part of British recording executive Simon Cowell's "Got Talent" franchise(经销权), which now has versions broadcasting in more than 30 countries.

答案：68-71 BDBD 　　

E

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear？ What do you think of that？Fashionable？Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools. The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip，when he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school. But in Italy，a nation that takes fashion very seriously，the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students' freedom- or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual. A parents' group praised the move in favor of good taste，while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings. “We do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers. Most students have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio，14，wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold，so she wore a matching orange scarf. Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request， simply for practical reasons. “I don't really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter，when dressed like that，it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
