From Shy Girl to Pop Star

For this month's Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As shed got better, she dared to sing in front of her lass, and then for the whole school. Now she's not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.

I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. "I didn't use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go." However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. "I always have to worry about how I appear to others, and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don't have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me."

What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? "Well," she begins slowly, "you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top."

Passage B 根据短文内容完成文后的图表, 并将答案写在答题卡（纸）的相应位置。（共10分, 每小题2分）（共10分, 每小题2分）

It's hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. It's easier to make friends when you have the same interests.

Don't be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.

Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. That way, they will find it easier to talk to you. If don't, people may think you are not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about "me, me, me". Ask lots of questions. Show interest in their answers. Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like—not just with those who are easy to meet.

Be friendly with a lot of people. If so, you will have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances to make friends.

How to be a Better Student

Dear friends,

Good morning! I’m Mike，from Class Three, Grade Nine. How to be a better student? Here are my opinions.

First of all, you should learn to make full use of your free time. You can make a schedule for the things that you must do in daily life. If you can’t do it well, you can ask the teachers or parents for help.

Secondly, you should develop your new hobbies, such as art, music and so on. Why? When you are unhappy or stressed out, you can relax yourselves by singing a song or playing the piano and so on.

Finally, widen your scope of knowledge and build your bodies. You can keep healthy by doing morning exercises, such as running, jogging and so on. Besides, you can read more books if you have enough free time. As the old saying goes, knowledge is wealth.

In a word, a better student should be responsible for yourselves and believe in yourselves. It is necessary for you to have enough confidence while doing things.

That’s all, thank you!
