Skeletal Brit supermodel Kate Moss became the third star to fall victim to burglars in London this year, The Sun tabloid reported today. Madonna and Jerry Hall both had their English mansions ransacked earlier in the year.
Irreplaceable Items thieves reportedly broke into Moss' home and made ＄350,000 worth of the wife's jewelry disappear, including two irreplaceable items: a ＄28,000 diamond necklace given to her by former fiance Johnny Depp, and a diamond ring that was a family heirloom.
The burglars also took other jewels and ＄70,000 in traveler's checks, The Sun said.
Moss, 26, was apparently on a two-week vacation in the United States when her ＄1.4 million home in northwest London was hit. A supposed friend of the model's told The Sun, "Kate has been knocked sideways by this. She's still in shock. Johnny was the first love of her life. She's particularly upset at losing the necklace because of what it means to her. It's like losing a piece of herself."
Depp and Moss had a fiery four-year relationship—at a time when both stars were on the fast track in the young celeb party circuit—that ended in 1997, when Depp left Moss for French actress-singer Vanessa Paradis.
Depp and Paradis now have a child together and are expecting another. Moss has been romantically linked to controversial Brit artist Jake Chapman.
The Sun claimed that Moss, who lives alone at the house, has decided to stay in the States until a new security system has been installed in her home.
How much did Moss lose？
A．＄350,000
B．＄70,000
C．＄420,000
D．＄1.4 million
Some celebrities don’t want letters. In 2008, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr announced openly that he would throw them out because he was too busy. Others do attempt to get through it themselves. Robert Pattinson, star of the Twilight films, claims that he reads“tones and tones”of letters from fans.
Many artists, however, outsource(外包 ) the tasks of opening, reading and replying. Sylvia Taylor, 58, has run a service in California that does just that since She and her staff deal with up to 20,000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities.
Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration, she says. A few ask for money. A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity ’s security tea m and the police.
The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence. Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals, and the letters: most of them just get recycled.
Typically, correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed “autograph(亲笔签名)”. For some, this is enough, according to Lynn Zubernis, an expert at West Chester University. She says that the relationship between fans and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community.
56.Where were the unopened letters to singer Taylor Swift found？
What will Sylvia Taylor do if fans are threatening her celebrity clients？
Who told fans not to send any letters？
What do fans usually get in return if they write letters to celebrities？
Which word in the passage is the closest in meaning to “public figure ”？

They still hadn't come when, just before noon, a man eating in our restaurant wanted a cake. I suggested that I run to the bakery next door to get some, and Johnny readily agreed. Going out of our back door, I knocked on the back door of the bakery and bought a few from the baker's helper. That cake was the only one we sold all day.
After closing, Johnny and I sat discussing things with my daughter, who had been out from serving. "An interesting thing happened just before noon," she said. "The owner of the bakery next door came in and ordered a cake of ours. She wanted to compare it with hers."
We know from the passage that ______.
A．the baker next door came to help with the opening
B．the new restaurant did not prepare all its foods
C．the son and the daughter served at the tables
D．the customers enjoyed the cakes very much
2 This is not to minimize the value of genuine facility. With years of practice, a man may be able to put down words swiftly and expertly. But it is the same kind of swiftness that enables a cellist, after having invested years of efforts, to negotiate an intricate passage from Haydn. Speed writing is for stenographers and court reporters, not for anyone who wants to use language with precision and distinction.
3 Thomas Mann was not ashamed to admit that he would often take a full day to write 500 words, and another day to edit them, out of respect for the most difficult art in the world. Flaubert would ponder a paragraph for hours. Did it say what he wanted it to say— not approximately but exactly？ Did the words turn into one another with proper rhythm and grace？ Were they artistically and securely fitted together？ These questions are relevant not only for the established novelist but for anyone who attaches value to words as a medium of expression and communication.
4 E.B. White, whose respect for the environment of good writing is exceeded by no word-artist of our time, would rather have his fingers cut off than to be guilty of handling words lightly. No sculptor chipping away at a granite block in order to produce a delicate curve or feature has labored more painstakingly than White in fashioning a short paragraph. Obviously, we can't expect our schools to make every Johnny into a White or Flaubert or a Mann, but it is not unreasonable to expect more of them to provide the conditions that promote clear, careful, competent expression. Certainly the cumulative effort of the school experience should not have to be undone in later years.
According to the passage, competence in writing is _______________.
A．an art that takes practice
B．a skill that requires dexterity
C．a technique that is easy to learn
D．a result of the spontaneous flow of words
听力原文： They think they're lucky that they're living and it's Christmas again. They can't see that
we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren't much good. Johnny and the children can't see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get on of this. But how？ The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn't eat any more, she threw the rest away.
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn't rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everyone else here looks away because they're ashamed of their lives. I'd like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.

"It doesn't make sense, " says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was most popular, in the 1950s. "Performers aren't worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is. "
But the rock stars 'admirers seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.
Some observers think the customers are buying more than music. According to one theory, rock music has a special appeal because no real training is needed to produce it. There is no gulf between the audience and the performer. Every boy and girl in the audience thinks, "I could sing like that. " So rock has become a new kind of religion, a new form. of worship. Young people are glad to pay to worship a rock star because it is a way of worshipping themselves.
Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972, one of the luckiest was Don McLean, who wrote and sang "American Pie". McLean earned more than a million dollars from recordings of "American Pie". Then, too, like most performers, McLean writes his own music, so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song.
Records provide only part of a star's income. Around the world young listeners soon want to see the star in movies, on television, and in person.
Nell Young, who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10 000, each of whom has paid at least five dollars for a ticket. After paying expenses, Young leaves with about $ 18 000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.
How do the rock stars use their money？ What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water？ Most of the young stars simply throw the money around. England's Elton John gave someone a $ 38 000 Rolls Royce automobile and bought himself a $ 5 000 pair of eyeglasses that light up and spell ELTON. He also bought himself two cars, "one for each foot".
Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys. Then when they need money again, they do another tour. They save no money, buy no stocks, and live from hand to mouth.
In the end the rock star's life is unrewarding. After two or three years riches and fame are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely person spends his remaining years trying to impress strangers. New stars have arrived to take his place.
The music millionaire Johnny Mathis doesn't think ______.
A．rock stars are worth what they have been paid
B．rock stars have any value in their performance
C．it makes any sense to worship rock stars
D．rock stars are well trained
(29)To esteem anything is to evaluate it positively and hold it high regard, but evaluation gets us into trouble because while we sometimes win, we also sometimes lose. To respect something, on the other hand, is to accept it.
The word acceptance suggests to some readers that our culture does indeed deal with this idea of self-respect; after all, don't we have the concept that it is important to accept our limitations？ Aren't many of us encouraged "to change the things we can change, accept the things we cannot change and know the difference between the two？"
(30)The person with self-respect simply likes herself or himself. This self-respect is not dependent on success because there are always failures to contend with, Neither is it a result of comparing ourselves with others because there is always someone better. There are techniques usually employed to increase self-esteem. (31)Self-respect, however, is a given. We simply like ourselves because of who we are and not because of what we can or cannot do.
My recent research, with Judith White and Johnny Walsh at Harvard University, points to the advantage of selfrespect. (32)Compared to those with high self-esteem who are still caught in an evaluative framework, those with self-respect are less prone to blame, guilt, regret, lies, have secrets and stress.
(33)
A．It is the same as self-respect.
B．It is totally different from self-respect.
C．It is to think only the positive even when we lose.
D．It is to evaluate positively and hold high regard.
It has often been said that music is a global language. But the idea S1.______
music can bring cultures closer together by transporting listeners to a-
common realm seems somehow unusual. That is of course, unless you are S2.______
unfamiliar with the new genre(流派，风格)of music called "world music". S3.______
What is world music？ Giving the great diversity in category and style, S4.______
it is not surprising there is little agreement on exact what constitutes this S5.______
genre. It could be traditional music such like Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Cel- S6.______
tic fiddles, and reggae.
It includes Gregorian chants, Aborigine didgeridoo, or Tajikistani pop,
Salsa, samba, or Johnny Clegg and Savuka. Some musicologists argue that
all music are world music. After all, rock-and-roll traces back to Africa. S7.______
Record store employees, on other hand, will direct you to a specific section. S8.______
And the Billboard charts seem to define world music by artists who have
put a pop spin on traditional music.
Robert Browning, artistic director of the World Music Institute in New
York, describes world-music on a spectrum of music genres. At one end of
the spectrum you have classical or traditional "roots" music. On the other
hand, you have music that is a mix of sounds and instruments, more S9.______
often composed of Western artists. S10.______

Psychologists have succeeded in undermining parents' confidence in their own authority. And it hasn't taken children long to get wind of the fact. In addition to the great modern classics on childcare, there are countless articles in magazines and newspapers. With so much unsolicited advice flying about, mum and dad just don't know what to do any more. In the end, they do nothing at all. So, from early childhood, the kids are in charge and parents' lives are regulated according to the needs of heir offspring. When the little dears develop into teenagers, they take complete control. Lax authority over the years makes adolescent rebellion against parents all the more violent. If the young people are going to have a party, for instance, parents are asked to leave the house. Their presence merely spoils the fun. What else can the poor parents do but obey'？
Children are hardy creatures (far hardier than the psychologists would have us believe) and most of them survive the harmful influence of extreme permissiveness which is the normal condition in the modern household. But a great many do not. The spread of juvenile delinquency in our own age is largely due to parental laxity. Mother, believing that little Johnny can look after himself, is not at home when he returns from school, so little Johnny roams the streets. The dividing-line between permissiveness and sheer negligence is very fine 'indeed.
The psychologists have much to answer for. They should keep their mouths shut and let parents get on with the job. And if children are knocked about a little bit in the process, it may not really matter too much. At least this will help them to develop vigorous views of their own and give them something positive to react against. Perhaps there's some truth in the idea that children who have had a surfeit of happiness in their childhood appear like stodgy puddings and fail to make a success of life.
What is implied in the first sentence？
A．There is no defense for Victorian harshness.
B．Parents are grateful to Freud for his advice.
C．Parents can be too strict with their children.
D．Child-care books prove sensible and practical.
