But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly，” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do，” another boy also said to him, loudly. Brian couldnt understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show. Brian did a great job at the talent show.

Besides (除之外，还有)Shanzhai electronic products, there are Shanzhai movies, Shanzhai stars and even a Shanzhai Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Years Eve. Shanzhai has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, Shanzhai version Birds Nest（鸟巢） and Water Cube（水立方） woven by farmers with bamboo attract(吸引) wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing. A literature critic said that taking the Shanzhai Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the Shanzhai version appears timely to attract people. Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, Shanzhai culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds, he said. To the mainstream（主流） culture, the rise of Shanzhai culture is a challenge and a motivation（推动）. People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose. 9. The Chinese word Shanzhai may have started with_.A. fake(假的) cell-phones B. electronic productsC. Spring Festival Gala D. Olympic buildings10.

We can infer that the mainstream culture_.A. is held back by Shanzhai cultureB. is the challenge ofShanzhai cultureC. will be replaced by Shanzhai cultureD. may develop faster because of the challenge of Shanzhai culture12. The underlined word imitates is closest in meaning to_.A. 偷窃 B. 仿造 C. 做广告 D. 欺骗DDo you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality (质量) and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?Experts say its because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves. Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “Id rather spend the extra money to get something I know Ill be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “Its fake (假的) happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands arent any better. “Its wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “Youll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.” 13. Who have the same opinion on expensive brands?A. Alexandra & Daniel. B. Emmy & Edmund.C. Daniel & Emmy. D. Emmy & Alexandra.14. What does Edmund think of expensive brands?A. They make him feel confident.B. They are not worth the price.C. They need to improve their quality.D.
