accident. after the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained. he was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. he had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. he was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. an idea occurred to him. why not write to other people who need encouragement? he wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. the prison minister replied, writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered. filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. he began sending one-way messages of gods love, hope, strength, and encouragement. he wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. he poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith. it was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. one day he received a letter from the prison ministry. it was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail. the letter said, please write on the best paper you can afford. your letters are passed from cell

chekhov, was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.when chekhov entered the moscow university medical school in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. after he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.as a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. chekhovs medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. in 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town russia. tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.it is often said that nothing happens in chekhovs stories and plays. he made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. chekhovs work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity of an artist.some of chekhovs works were translated into chinese as early as the 1940s. one of his famous stories, the man in a shell, about a school teachers extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for chinese senior students.46. which of the following is the right order of the events?a. became a doctorb. became a full time writerc. started to

chicken thanks to a south korean drama currently on air, man from the stars, this new mix-and-match junk food trend has become popular among young audiences, despite its unhealthy nature. indeed, south korean tv dramas, or k-drama for short, have been a major force in the south korean pop-culture wave that has captured the hearts of young chinese audiences. according to iqiyi, a video website that features man from the stars, by feb 15, the number of views for the tv drama hit 370 million in china. “it is interesting to explore what elements of those dramas appeal to audiences. its obviously more than just pretty faces,” says yan feng, a professor of chinese literature at fudan university. reflected by audiences, culture critics and insiders(圈内人) of the industry, youth fantasy, creative storylines, cultural proximity in east asia, and well-organized production all add up to k-dramas success, along with, of course, those handsome and cute faces dressed in the latest fashion trends.“everyone fancies a perfect partner, handsome or beautiful,” says zhou ying, a professor at chongqing technology and business university. “the south korean tv industry is feeding this need.” after lee min-ho appeared on cctvs annual spring festival gala, he became the most famous south korean in china. only weeks later, kim soo-hyun, lead actor in man from the stars, swept the country. apart from pretty faces, fashion is another highlight of the series. each time actors from the series wear a new set of outfits, similar clothes experience a sales boom online, according to xiao yi, a taobao store owner.as is known, with love triangles, incurable diseases, and cinderella tales, storylines in south korean dramas may seem a bit commonplace. while the man from the stars challenges this by putting aliens and time travel into these existing stories, peng sanyuan, a screenwriter, says a focus on detail is a key factor in the success of these dramas. “in order to accurately target audiences and find emotional reflections with them, more and more female writers are working in the industry,” says peng about her experience of exchanging ideas with south korean colleagues. according to the experts, south korean writers somehow make sense of these plots, no matter how unlikely it seems.50. why has beer and fried chicken become so popular among chinese young people at present?a. because the food tastes very great. b. because they want to change the trend.c. because the food is good for their health. d. because they are deeply affected by the korean tv drama.51. whats the meaning of the underlined word “proximity” in paragraph 2?a. similarity b. difference c. conflict d. curiosity52. according to the whole passage, how many elements can lead to the appeal of korean dramas?a. two b. four c. six d. seven53. after reading the third paragraph, which of the following is right? a. lee min-ho is the lead actor in man from the stars. b. kim soo-hyun appeared on cctvs annual spring festival gala c. the similar clothes worn by the korean actors become very hot online. d. everyone has a perfect partner, who is handsome or beautiful.54. what makes man from the stars different from other k-dramas according to the last paragraph?a. female writers b. creative stories c. pretty faces d. fashionable clothesdthe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. but it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.an important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “we were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their families,” said one number of the research team. “theyre expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. theres more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. they dont want to rock the boat.”so it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “my parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old daniel lazall. “i always tell them when im going out clubbing. as long as they know what im doing, theyre fine with me.” susan crome, who is now 21, agrees. “looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation(协商，谈判). for example, as long as id done all my homework, i could go out on a saturday night. but i think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. it is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. a researcher comments, “our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. but that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. the normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”55. what is the popular image of the teenagers today? a. they worry about school. b. they dislike living with their parents. c. they have to be locked in to avoid troubles. d. they quarrel a lot with other family members.56. the study shows that teenagers dont want to _. a. share family responsibility b. cause trouble in their families c. go boating with their family d. make family decisions57. compared with parents of 30 years ago, todays parents _. a. go to clubs more often with their children b. are much stricter with their children c. care less about their childrens life d. give their children more freedom58. according to the writer, teenage rebellion _. a. may be a false belief b. is common nowadays c. existed only in the 1960s d. resulted from changes in families59. what is the passage mainly about？ a. negotiation in family. b. education in family. c. harmony
