24、 Music has brought James Blunt worldwide fame, but becoming a pop star hasn’t been an easy road for him.
Blunt was born into a family of soldiers in 1974. So it is no surprise that he himself joined the army as a soldier in 1996. Music wasn’t popular entertainment in the family house. His father considered all music to be unnecessary noise. “Like any parents, mine wanted me to have a secure job with a regular salary(薪水)and career prospects(前途), Blunt said in an interview with the BBC. “And the one job my father knew of —that he’d experienced himself—was the army, so he could help me in that direction.” In 1999, he was sent to Kosovo(科索沃)as a member of the peacekeeping force. Despite following in his father’s footsteps, music was James’ primary passion. The young officer took his guitar with him. Blunt explained to the Herald.-Times.” Wherever you are in the army, you take something to keep yourself amused. Some bring a pack of cards, some a football. I took a guitar.” His wartime experience inspired him to write the song No Bravery. Blunt couldn’t escape his love of music. He left the army in October 2002 and decided that it was time to replace guns with guitars. He flew to the US in September 2003. There he met Linda Perry, songwriter and produces, who helped him with the music. In 2005, Blunt released his first album. Back to Bedlam. It was a huge success that the album sold over 10 million copied worldwide and its single. You’re Beautiful, bit number one in over a dozen countries.

25、“My dear Mr Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let (出租) at last?”
Mr Bennet replied that he had not.
“But it is,” returned she, “for Mrs Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”
Mr Bennet made no answer.
“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently
“You want to tell me, and I have no objection (反对) to hearing it.”
This was invitation enough.
“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune (财富) from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately with Mr Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”
“What is his name?”
“Bingley.”
“Is he married or single?”
“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; 4 or 5,000 a year. What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which
perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr Bingley might like you the best of all.”
“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”
“It is more than I can be sure, I assure (向……保证) you.”
“But consider your daughters. Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”
But in fact Mr Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr Bingley. He had always planned to visit him, though to the last always assuring his wife that he should not go.
【1】How did Mrs Bennet feel when she heard that Bingley would move there?
A. Excited and hopeful. B. Nervous and curious.
C. Surprised and crazy. D. Pleased and proud.
【2】Why did Mr Bennet show no interest in Mr Bingley’s moving there when his wife talked about it?
A. Because his daughters were not pretty enough.
B. Because his wife was prettier than his daughters.
C. Because he didn’t care about his daughters’ happiness.
D. Because he didn’t want to show his true feelings to others.
【3】What does the underlined word “that” mean?
A. Mr Bingley had decided to live there.
B. Mr Bennet himself would visit Mr Bingley.
C. Mr Bingley would like Mrs Bennet best.
D. Mr Bingley would fall in love with one of their daughters.
【4】Why did Mrs Bennet mention “Sir William and Lady Lucas”?
A. To show Mr Bingley was well worth visiting.
B. To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were their friends.
C. To show it was polite for a couple to visit a new comer together.
D. To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were too proud to get along well with.

A、阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。(每空一词)
Four types of friends you need in your life
Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime? The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.
The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.
1. A Loyal Best Friend
Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
2. A Friendly Neighbor
These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.
3. A Workmate
You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.
4. A Friend From a Different Culture
If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember that don’t make friends with someone just because they’re from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.
If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.

Dear Claire, I don't enjoy using the phone! It makes me very nervous to call my friends because an adult might answer. What should I do? Tara |
Dear Tara, A good way to beat nervousness is to know what you want to say before you make the phone call. You can say, “Hello, this is Tara.

Thank you.” Practice these loud until you feel comfortable to say them, and try to be calm before you call. Good luck! Claire |
