Looks, talent, public image and how we accordingly view their personality all play into why we find ourselves attracted to certain celebrities and public figures. Every year, People put it all together when they name their “Sexies t Man Alive”. This year, the magazine decided that United States musician John Roger Stephens, better known as John Legend, has the full package.The title comes following some impressive achievements for the 40-year-old. He is among the youngest people to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award, and the first African-American man to win all four of them. With numerous awards and nominations, an Ivy-League degree, and a handsome face, Legend has gained huge popularity worldwide. However, his dedication to family life maybe what wins over many.After getting married to US model Chrissy Teigen in 2013, Legend is the father of one son and one daughter. He’s not shy about telling the world their love is permanent. On the inside of Legend’s arm, there is a tattoo that says “Chrissy Luna Miles”, the names of his wife and children. In fact, Legend has gained strength from his family since childhood. He still remembers the days when his family would gather around his grandmother’s piano to sing Christmas songs. This inspired his passion for music. His best-known single, All of Me, is a love song to his wife. When he performed it at the 2014 Grammy Awards, many were touched by his delicate voice and the deep love beneath. “The more you know someone, the more you’re inspired by your relationship,” Legend told LA Confidential Magazine. “You have to grow enough to be able to write that song with sincerity and authenticit y.”Despite his onstage confidence, Legend had to work to become a legend. As a teenager, he was the smallest kid in class. “I was always less mature, less at ease socially. I had plenty of awkward times,” he told People. “Most of your teenage years, into your twenties, you’re still figuring out who you are, how you present yourself to the world ...

Do they always tell the truth? Do they always keep their promises? In the near future, voluntary blood donations might be used as a clue to prove someone’s trustworthiness.On Nov 19, the National Health Commission (NHC) and other departments jointly released a document urging the social credit system to include voluntary blood donations. An incentive mechanism（激励机制）is also recommended, to provide donors with more conveniences and rewards like preferential treatment in using public facilities or visiting government-run parks, China Daily reported. “We need to show we care about donors so they feel honored,” Liu Jiang, director of Beijing’s blood donation office, told CCTV.Indeed, donating blood is key to saving many lives. Due to blood’s very limited shelf life, regular blood donations are needed from a sufficient number of healthy people. This ensures that safe blood will be available whenever and wherever it is needed, according to the World Health Organization. However, the notice received mixed reviews on social media, with some people questioning whether it was necessary to include voluntary blood donation in the social credit system, according to the South China Morning Post. The system records things like a person’s career information, and payments for credit cards or other debt expenses are used to tell whether a person or company is trustworthy. People who cannot pay debts on time would have a worse credit score, resulting in more difficulties borrowing money from banks, reported the P eople’s Daily.Many Sina Weibo users believe that blood donations should be voluntary. They say it has little to do with social credit. Others doubt whether it is appropriate to reward this action because some people would donate blood for reasons other than helping save people’s lives. Guangming Daily commented that only acts closely linked to personal credit should be included in the social credit system. A voluntary blood donor might refuse to pay his or her debts, while someone who doesn’t donate blood might have a perfect credit record, it noted.8.What benefit can voluntary blood donors get according to the 2nd paragraph?A．Free park tour. B．Free treatment in hospitals.C．Running in government parks. D．Priority in using public facilities.9.Why are blood donations regularly needed?A.Blood can’t be stored for long.B.Some donated blood is not healthy.C.Fewer people are willing to donate blood.D.More and more people need blood to get treated.10.What can you learn from the last paragraph?A.Many blood donors refuse to pay his or her debts.B.Whoever donates blood will have a perfect credit record.C.It’s right to reward blood donators for they save people’s lives.D.Some people agree that voluntary blood donation shouldn’t be linked to social credit. 11．What’s the author’s attitude to using voluntary blood donations to prove trustworthiness?A．Positive. B．Objective. C．Indifferent D．Negative.DFive years ago, UK schools began to learn Shanghai’s math teaching methods on account of top scores produced by Chinese teenagers in a global academic evaluation. This test is called the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), run by the organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Taking around three hours on computers, it mainly focuses on 15-year-olds’r eading, math and science abilities. Earlier this month, the latest test results were published.Students from Beijing and Shanghai, as well as Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, outperformed students from the other 78 participating education systems in mathematics and science by a wide margin. In reading comprehension scores, only Singapore came close. Chinese mainland students first took the tests in 2009, with Shanghai topping the scores. The city claimed the top spot again in 2012.The PISA rankings aroused global interest in Chinese teaching methods and as a result, Britain increased exchanges with Chinese schools to improve its math education. Nearly 600 teachers from Britain and China, mainly from primary schools, have taken part in the exchange since 2014, and around 5,000 of Britain’s 16,000 primary schools have adopted the Shanghai math teaching method. In the latest PISA test, Chinese mainland students averaged 591 points in math —more than 100 points higher than the OECD average. British students averaged 502, jumping from 27th place three years ago to 18th in the math rankings.Philip Avery, director of education for the Bohunt Education Trust, UK, said, “We’ve benefited fromworking with Chinese partners for the high quality of lesson planning and teaching for memorization in China. Our Chinese partners have benefited from our approach to the development of character, focus on innovation and application of knowledge.”However, Zhang Xuanmin, who is in charge of the PISA project in Shanghai, points out that besides basic education, Chinese students still need to improve their social and emotional competencies.12.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．UK teenagers are poorly-educated.B．UK schools’ teaching methods are out of fashion.C．Teenagers in Shanghai got higher scores in PISA.D．Teenagers in Shanghai are the best students in the world.13.What does the underlined word mean in the 2nd paragraph?14.What’s probably the average math point of OECD in the latest PISA test?15．What can be indicated by Philip Avery’s words?A.The exchange program is a win-win situation.B.Chinese students still have a long way to go in education. C．UKschools get more benefits from the exchange program. D．UKteenagers have gained a lot of improvement in math learning.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，满分15 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。
