When I was at university, every night there was at least one concert — and sometimes two or three. The UK has a lot of 1 music. It is loud with guitars and drums. So almost every band that played at university was a rock band.
The tickets were very cheap, 2 the venues (演出地点) were small and most bands were not famous. They were just a group of friends who played music part-time. This meant my friends and I could go to see a band whenever 3 wanted to.
The atmosphere (氛围) at a rock concert full of 4 was great. Everyone went pretty crazy. Some students just listened to the band but most students sang 5 the band. It was easy to get close to the band. The room was crowded and 6 . People jumped up and down with the music.
After the concerts, band members and their friends stood outside 7 T-shirts or CDs. After four years of university, half of my clothes were from those 8 .
Many of my friends were also in bands — or wanted to be. Posters on the school notice boards said that bands were 9 new members. Many famous bands were started at university by friends who shared the same interest in 10 .

Some movies are unusual stories and the actors need lots of imagination to play the scenes. 15-year-old Canadian actress Erin Pitt has been in movies like that. But in her latest movie, Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight, Erin only needed to act herself.
Erin plays Isabelle Palmer, a serious ballet (芭蕾舞) student and talented designer (设计师). Isabelle goes to a school for kids who are performers and artists, and she faces troubles both in dancing classes and outside them. S he’s hard on herself and needs to learn to relax.
“This movie i s much my life,” says Erin. “I go to a performing arts school. I do ballet. This character is a lot like me.”
Erin studies ballet at a school much like Isabelle’s. And there is an even bigger coincidence. Before Erin played in the movie, she had became interested in clothing design and went to a sewing (缝纫) class!
Erin’s years o f dance training prepared her for the challenge of dancing in the movie. Not all kids like strict teachers, but Erin does. “They know how good you can be,” she says. “If you have potential (潜质), they can tell, and they will push you. They push you to be the best you can be.”
In the movie, Erin plays a dancer who pushes herself to improve. For her, the movie is an excellent chance to use two of her hobbies in one project. “I have always loved dancing,” says Erin, who started classes at age two. “And I’ve wanted to act
since I was seven. When I found out I got this role, I was running around, so excited.” Will there be a moment like that in the movie, too? You’ll have to watch to find out!根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
( )1. What can we learn about Isabelle?
A. She works hard to do better.
B. She has many troubles at home.
C. She studies at a designing school.
D. She is the best student in her class.
( )2. The underlined word “coincidence” means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 收获
B. 机遇
C. 考验
D. 巧合
( )3. Erin’s _______ might help her get the role in the movie.
A. good imagination
B. talent for designing
C. years of dance training
D. wonderful feeling for music
( )4. Why was Erin excited to get the role in the movie?
A. She thought it would make her famous.
B. She could show two of her hobbies in it.

When you think about competitions, you probably think of sports such as basketball and football. Not all competitions are sports, though. One example is the Rock Paper Scissors World Championship.
Rock-Paper-Scissors is a simple game that is played between two people. Each player counts to three and then “throws” one h and forward, making one of the three gestures (手势). Rock wins against Scissors, Scissors win against Paper, and Paper wins against Rock. Although the game is simple, many players say that they have developed some skills for winning.
Some people might consider the Rock-Paper-Scissors competition to be strange. Around the world, though, people compete in many events that others think are crazy. In England, an unusual competition is organized every year. Hundreds of people run
down a hill and chase (追赶) a huge wheel of cheese. (13)最初，这个比赛是为住在当地村子里的人举办的。But now people from all over the world come to attend it. In Finland, many people compete in the Air Guitar World Championships. They play guitars that cannot be seen in front of other people.
