By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desir ed to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first bu siness meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur.

It marks a trend among law students to change from the traditional field of corporate law and look to Working in creative industries. The trend, also noticeable at other law schools around the country, has pushed growth in the field of entertainment law.“These students are propelled by a love for music, the arts, and show business. It's an exciting career for a music lover,” said HLS Clinical Professor of Law Brian Price, who's in charge of the Entertainm ent Law Clinic.Price added, “Although entertainment lawyers work behind the scenes, they can have a bigger influence on artists' careers than managers. They review artists’ agreements, deals and contacts, making sure their customers, interests are protect ed.”“Artists are becoming wise and want to be involved in the business aspects of their careers,” said Price. “When they ask for legal advice, they want to know their legal rights, and how to make good deals and find ways to make more money.” Most HLS gra duates end up working in business or corporate law, though some have had successful careers in the entertainment industry. Among them are Bruce Ramer, 58, who represents customers like George Clooney and Clint East wood; Bert Fields, 52, who represents Michael Jackson.28.What does the author want to show through the example of Rebecca?A.The importance of learning entertainment law.B.Her determination to succeed in the field of law.C.The rising popularity in the field of entertainment law.D.Her dull future caused by her serious illness at college.29.What does the underlined word “propelled” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Blown.B. Driven.C. Depressed.D. Confused.30.What can be learned from the last paragraph?A.HLS is home to many famous artists.B.Artists are wise enough to learn corporate law.C.Artists are becoming more focused on legal needs.D.Famous artists pay no attention to making money.31.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Death of Rebecca's DreamB.Making It Big behind the ScenesC.Helping Musicians Improve ThemselvesD.A Brief Introduction to Entertainment LawDWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have c ome to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.32.Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to .A.a lack of confidence in technologyB.a slow progress in technologyC.a conflict of public opinionsD.a waste of limited resources33.The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should .A.take people’s essential needs into accountB.make their programmes attractive to peopleC.ensure that each child gets financial supportD.provide more affordable Internet facilities34.What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A.Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.B.Believing that the world has become borderless.C.Ignoring the power of economic development.D.Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.35.What can we learn from the passage?A.People should be encouraged to make more donations.B.Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.C.Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.D.Economic policies should follow technological trends.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
