Take an interest in the world around you, and stick to learning at least one new thing every day. No matter how old you are, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no knowledge before she made herself into a well-known engineer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly-paid dress designer. Get over the idea that you are too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honours and became a famous doctor.

They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age wheretrue heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星), who are legendary, who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.(1)、The passage mainly deals with ______.A：life and deathB：heroes and heroinesC：heroes and iconsD：icons and celebrities(2)、Heroes and heroines are usually _________.A：courageousB：exemplaryC：self-sacrificingD：all of the above(3)、Which of the following statements is wrong? _________A：Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B：Superstars are famous for being famous.C：One's look can contribute to being famous.D：Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.(4)、Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love________.A：when she was 19B：when she became a princessC：just before her deathD：after she gave birth to a prince(5)、What is more likely to set an icon's status? ________A：Good looks.B：Tragic and early death.C：Personal attraction.D：The quality of one's story.三、词汇与语法1、Will you_________ me a favor, please?A：doB：makeC：bringD：give2、People at the party worried about him, because no one was aware ____ he had gone.A：of whereB：of the place whereC：whereD：the place3、You'll find this map of great _______in helping you to get around Beijing.A：priceB：costC：valueD：useful4、He likes to swim _______.A：and to play footballB：and playing footballC：but play footballD：and he also likes playing football5、On ________ side of the street there are some trees.A：bothB：eitherC：everyD：all6、I was talking with my mother on the phone when we were ____ suddenly.A. cut downB. cut offC. cut acrossD. cut back7、The new assembly line having been adopted, the factory produced ____ cars in 1999 as the year before.A. as twice manyB. twice many asC. twice as manyD. as many as twice8、Do you think you have talked too much?
