A.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,

“My I get you something?”

“A coffee would be nice.”

Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,

“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”

“Who?”

“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”

I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.

AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming!

Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut (初次登台).

Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China’s teahouses and theaters.Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices (学徒) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan -- all leading crosstalk artists of years past —for only 20 yuan (US$2.40). The success in Tianjin has also given motivation to the rejuvenation (复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.

Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars developed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was famous for the quality of its crosstalk performances.

“We only want to bring the traditional pieces back to the audiences, helping them to learn their charms and definitions,” said Yin Xiaosheng, head of the Zhongyou Arts Troupe.

Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, "face and voice"), crosstalk was the main form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.

Usually crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to contemporary social issues. Although there are hundreds of pieces in the traditional works, they are constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. This is one of the features that have made crosstalk a populist(平民化) art form throughout its history.

“Crosstalk was in the doldrums with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities.” The reawakening of interest in the traditional art is going beyond merely watching and listening for many. “More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang, “They are sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”

67. From the passage, we can know the crosstalk originates(源于) from ______.

A. the TV shows

B. the teahouse and theater

C. the cinema

D. the temple fairs and markets

68. Crosstalk makes a comeback mainly because_________.

A. it is one of the most popular traditional art forms

B. the pieces mainly cover folk tales and social issues

C. the pieces are changing with times and audience

D. it is performed by some leading crosstalk artists

69. Which is the meaning of the underlined word “doldrums” (in the last paragraph)?

A. depression B. variety. C. condition. D. period.

70. From the passage we can predict the future of crosstalk lies in______.

A. making up a variety of traditional pieces

B. having advantages over other media

C. young people’s the awareness of its value

D. the competitive and big markets for art

书面表达(满分25分)

Recently we have had a class meeting whose topic is “success”. Views vary from person to person.

Some of the students think that making a lot of money means success, because with money you can do a lot of things and also money earns you a high position in society. Some of the students hold the view that success means becoming a famous person like a super star or a sports star because they are well known and their parents are proud of them. However, the other students think that making a contribution to society means success. The reason is that only a few people can be millionaires or become famous. As ordinary people, they should do what they can to serve the people.

In my opinion, there is no standard for success. So long as we do our best and achieve our goals, then that is success.
