Chris Medina was an outstanding star on a Monday night’s audition of American Idol (美國偶像，美國真人秀電視節(jié)目). He made the Americans moved for more than just his singing. Chris performed the famous band The Script’s song “Breakeven” and he brought along his beloved fiancée（未婚妻）, Juliana Ramos, who is limited to a wheelchair following a terrible car accident. There is a very touching emotional story behind them.

Chris, an amazing singer, said he fell in love with Juliana the first moment he saw her and they became engaged soon afterwards. They had planned to get married two years after getting engaged. But shortly before they could hold each other’s hands into the marriage hall, Juliana, suffered from a brain injury in a tragic car accident. On the exact day they were supposed to get married, Chris shared a song he wrote for his fiancée. “I’m giving all I’ve got to give/ To pull you through/ In your darkest hour, I will be your light,” were some of his heartfelt lyrics.

Juliana’s idol is Oprah Winfrey and Idol judge Steven could see that she remains a fan of Chris’ music, accompanying him to the audition. Chris received a ticket to Hollywood, which Juliana proudly waved. While he is heading to Hollywood to pursue his dream of singing, Chris continues to take care of Juliana, alongside her mother.

Chris’ love story touched more than the Americans. It reached Irish rockers The Script, who spoke highly of the young man and his songs at the audition. “Chris Medina: not only are you a major talent, but you are one in a billion! Stay strong and never give up. This world needs more men like you.” the band’s guitarist, Mark Sheehan, said.

1.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A. Chris touched the Americans mainly for his singing.

A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③

C. ②①④③ D. ②③④①

3.The underlined word “heartfelt” in the second paragraph can be best replaced by ________.

C. exciting D. pleasing

All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, can go to top universities and have a bright future. So they always expects their children to make fully use of their time to study. They don’t allow them watch TV, play computer games or go out to play with their friends. Some students just complained that their parents are only concerned about their grades but not their other need.

To my opinion, how our parents are doing is out of nothing but the love. The most important thing, I think, is that they should learn to communicate with our parents, telling them that we’ll never let them down and will work harder to earn trust and respect from them.

Attraction of the Minions

When it comes to film, people usually favor good over evil, focus on the hero and ignore the supporting characters. _1. __

Originally comedic background characters in the film Despicable Me（卑鄙的我）, these yellow pill-shaped nuts, have totally stolen the show and turned into a popular figure. This summer the characters debuted（首演） in their own self-titled movie in theaters abroad, having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a cartoon film according to USA Today.

Recently, McDonald’s has been including Minion toys with kids’ meals in some areas, causing loyal fans to flock to the restaurant to collect them all. __2.__ The movie’s huge popularity even surprised its writers. “We never knew the Minions were going to be so popular. It just became a force of nature,” the film’s co-writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times.

_3. __For many, the appeal is obviously their cuteness. Their simple nature can easily surpass cultures and age groups. Even children can draw them. Thousands of examples of fan-made Minion art from fingernails to Halloween clothes are visible on global social media platforms.

But there’s more to the phenomenon than just cuteness. US entertainment website Hit Fix explains that their way of communicating makes the creatures influential as well. __4. __ But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated（夸張的） movements and expressions. More importantly, their childlike mannerisms is a brand of humor that wins hearts. “Clumsy, foolish Minions are recognized as the ultimate β personalities,” wrote Peter Debruge of US entertainment magazine Variety. They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master. __5.__ "Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves," Huffington Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote, "or an evil version of ourselves."

A. So what makes the banana-loving Minions a big hit?

B. Besides, their childlike manner entertains fans more.

C. And this evil characteristic arouses sympathy among humans.

D. Related video games, toys and other goods are sweeping the world.

E. Minions is a 2015 American 3D computer-animated family comedy film.

F. But when it comes to the Minions, these conventions go right out the window.

G. The largely speak in nonsense words with the occasional recognizable terms like “potato”.
