Private library, so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was
given the job of superintendent (监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he
persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.
When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid
any attention to the workers" houses or their children"s education. The conditions in the factories were very
bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and
sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he
fixed his mind on the children"s education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen"s factory. They saw that the workers were healthier
and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the
same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far
away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad.
He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he
thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they
will be better people."

comic books, on the TV and the big screen.
In a survey of fans by the sci-fi (科幻) and fantasy website, SFX.co.uk, Batman, 70 years old this year,
was voted Britain"s favorite superhero.
Unlike many crime-fighting superheroes Batman has no special powers. He can"t fly like Superman or
shoot a sticky (粘性的) web like Spider-Man.
Bruce Wayne is born to a wealthy Gotham City business family. However, when his parents are murdered
his life changes completely.
Wayne feels anger at their deaths and guilty that he did not prevent them. He travels around the world
learning how to fight. Upon returning to Gotham, he creates a disguise (伪装) to enable him to fight crime
without being recognized.
A childhood fear of bats leads him to choose to dress as one. His idea is that through the bat persona (角
色) he can prove to himself that he has overcome his childhood fears.
Wayne is the CEO of the company he inherits (继承) from his father. He seems to live the lifestyle of a
millionaire playboy. But this is a ruse (计策). He works hard at the image to allow himself the freedom he needs
to do his work as a crime fighter. "Bruce Wayne, playboy" is the disguise(伪装); Batman is the real person.
"Wayne is not a born superhero. Instead, he is a real, complex person," said Dace Golder, editor of the
website. "He is the most realistic of all the superheroes. I am particularly interested in the emotional process
by which a boy becomes a hero. His superhero qualities come from within."
B. How to overcome childhood fears.
C. What makes a superhero.
D. Why superheroes enjoy great popularity in Britain.
B. he had an unhappy childhood
C. he doesn"t have any special powers
D. he does his best to fight crime
B. his childhood fear of bats
C. his parents" sudden death
D. his unusual travel experiences
B. He doesn"t know how to run a company.
C. He loves freedom more than anything else.
D. He needs to disguise his crime fighting activities.
B. He has special powers
C. The turning point of his life is due to his parents" sudden death
D. He actually lives the lifestyle of a millionaire playboy
just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.
Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music
Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled "The True Idol" on April 6.
The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本)
of Ricky Martin"s "She Bangs" on the television show "American Idol 3", on January 27. The Fox TV singing
contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that
the judges cut him off in mid-act.
Hung"s response? "I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all." That"s good, because any common
person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing; the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled
up too high; the terrible dancing; the hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not
even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well.
Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way:"Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite
song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That"s what
William did and immediately won the hearts of America."
Whatever it is, for the moment it"s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the
past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made
it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.
So, what does Hung think of this?
"There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I
was great on the show, but some didn"t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean."
Now, he says he"s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it.
Returning to normal hasn"t been easy.
B. Hung"s performance attracted the public eye.
C. How an unsuccessful person became famous.
D. Success sometimes does not require hard work.
B. his off-key singing
C. his hips jerking
D. his excellent version
B. Hung"s bad act.
C. Hung"s website.
D. The public"s opinion.
a. The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.
b. The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest.
c. Hung became popular among Americans.
d. Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.
e. Three websites put Hung"s funny performance on the Internet.
B. a, c, d, b, e
C. a, d, b, c, e
D. d, b, a, e, c
B. He attracted people"s attention in the contest.
C. He was good-looking though he didn"t sing well.
D. His character was completely different from other idols.
looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence (影响) on the
world of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the
city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, "Jazz and I grew up together."
Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy"s home.
In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the
steamboats that travelled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music
of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became
respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life,
Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the
American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, "Listening to
Pops just makes you feel good all over." He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and
most-admired people in the world. His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world.

Beijing Olympic torch on Chinese soil. She and seven other non-Chinese winners were from a pool of 262
applicants from 47 countries.
When Bowen runs with the Olympic torch, she will not only be representing the United States. She will
also be representing thousands of Chinese orphans, ABC news said.
Bowen, a mother of two adopted (领养的) Chinese daughters, is executive director of Half the Sky
Foundation, an organization which was set up in 1998 and aims to enrich the lives and improve the future
for orphaned children in China.
Nearly 10 years later, Bowen and Half the Sky Foundation have touched the lives of over 13,000 children.
Half the Sky Foundation is now present in 36 welfare institutions in 28 Chinese cities. About 4,000 children
are active in the program, which provides trained staff, educational tools, medical support and love for
orphans.
Bowen hopes that running with the Olympic torch will help draw attention to the children in China. She
will be among the 19,400 runners who will carry the flame along an 85,000-mile,130-day route across five
continents. Beijing organizers say it will be the longest torch relay in the Olympic history.
Like Bowen, the seven other non-Chinese winners, including a German engineer and a Venezuelan
designer, live in China. The other countries represented will be the Philippines, Colombia, India, Japan and
Russia.
According to Olympic organizers, candidates (候选人) were selected based on their "love of Chinese
culture and history" and devotion to "communicating information about a real China to their native countries."

of "The World"s 100 Most Powerful Women" in 2006, 2007, 2008,and 2009. She has even been compared
to Margaret Thatcher and many people called her "Iron Lady".
Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on July 17, 1954. Six weeks after she was born, her family
moved to Templin. As a small child, Merkel quickly learned to speak but took longer to walk. "I was a stupid
person when it comes to moving," Merkel said. "A normal person could do something naturally, but I had to
think about it in my mind and practice." As a teenager, she was a top student and graduated from high school
with perfect marks. In 1973, Merkel went to the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics. At 32, she
got her doctor"s degree in Physics.
She stepped into politics in 1989. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her
scientific background and strong will proved very useful. In 2005, she became Germany"s Chancellor. She has
been re-elected to a second term as German Chancellor on September27, 2009.
Through her political career, Merkel"s persistence (坚持) and patience helped her a lot. "She"s bright and
