21、An autobiography (自传)is a personal account of a person’s life. Some people write their autobiography while they are still young and update it as they get older. 【1】 .
You could write your autobiography up until now, as you are at an important time in your life and it would be interesting for you and your family to read in later years, to see how you described your life as a teenager. How should you write your autobiography?
• Decide what you want to write
【2】, there is a difference between a memoir (回忆录)and an autobiography and you must decide on which one you want to write before you begin.
• Who are you writing for?
Figuring out who you are writing your memoir or autobiography for is something you should decide on very quickly. 【3】, or do you just want something to share with your grandchildren and help to catalogue the family history? Depending on which you decide, your audience may be looking for different things.
• Be harsh
“Everyone thinks they’ve led the most interesting life’’ says Rebecca Swift, director of The Literary Consultancy, “but the market is extremely difficult to break into.” People are mainly interested in celebrity names, so if you’re thinking about writing an autobiography, you need to ask yourself “Why my life? 【4】?” Unless you’re a celebrity or a household name, you will have to think very hard about what in your life is worth writing about if you want to publish your work for a wider audience.
• 【5】
Inviting as it may be to polish a few particularly embarrassing moments in your life, you must remember to stick to the truth. Your autobiography or memoir is fact, not fiction after all.
A．Honesty is key
B．Polish your writing
C．What’s so interesting about me
D．Are you writing for mainstream publication
E．Why should you write an autobiography or personal memoir
F．Though they have their similarities and are often used interchangeably
G．Others find the time and the interest to write their autobiography after they have retired
22、 Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage, but these days it’s more like a movie set. Get to know some films to find fantastic film locations(地点）you should check out on your travels.
The Sound o f Music
Austria’s hills are certainly alive with the sound of music and tourists. Mozart may have been born in Salzburg, but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie. Cross Residenzplatz Square and visit the Palace of Leopoldskron where the children in the film fell into the lake.
Troy
Although the Palace of Troy was filmed on sets built at Shepperton Studios in the UK, most of the 2004 movie was shot in Malta and Baja California, Mexico, Malta with historic sites arid beautiful blue waters was a good choice to replace Greece. Troy was shot at a host of locations, including Golden Bay, Hal Far as well as Fort Ricasoli (where the city of Troy was constructed). The Trojan horse from the film is now lying on the waterfront in Canakkale, Turkey.
Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London. Her special corner flat is above the Globe Tavern by Borough Market, one of the city’s oldest and biggest food markets. According to The Telegraph, it would be highly unlikely that she could afford to buy a place like that today since it has risen in value by more than 240 percent.
Harry Potter
J. K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books while she was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, so it’s no surprise that she set most of the story there. The Hogwarts Express travels through the Scottish Highlands and along the 31 meters high Glenfinnan Viaduct. The second highest waterfall in the UK, Steal Falls can be seen during Quidditch matches.

23、Joseph Pulitzer was born to a wealthy family in Hungary on April 10, 1847 and grew up and was educated there in private schools.
At the age of 17, Pulitzer decided to become a soldier in the Austrian Army but was rebuffed because of weak eyesight. Luckily, he later met the U.S. Union Army and contracted to joined the army as a substitute for a draftee. In America, Pulitzer enlisted for one year in the Lincoln Cavalry.
Later he worked his way to St. Louis where he got a job offer from the leading German language daily, Westliche Post. Four years later, the young Pulitzer, who had built a reputation as a tireless enterprising journalist, was offered a controlling interest in the paper. At the age of 25, Pulitzer became a publisher and there followed a series of successful business deals from which he became recognized as the owner of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and a rising figure on the journalistic scene.

In one of the most successful promotions, The World raised public donation for the building of the pedestal at the entrance to the New York harbor so that the Statue of Liberty could be put into position. The World for years served as the influential editorial voice on many issues of the government, and Pulitzer himself was applauded for representative of freedom of the press.

24、After four silent years, the 27-year-old British singer Adele Adkins has finally introduced herself to the world again with Hello, the opening song from her third album 25, which will come out on Nov. 20.
Although Adele is a very successful singer now, music wasn’t always what she saw herself doing. At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.
"I wanted to fix people’s hearts," she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.
Adele didn’t go to medical school, but many would agree that she still has healing(治愈) powers. "Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele," said The Telegraph. "She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart."
Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label that she would spend "four or five years" making her next album. She told Vogue magazine, "I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21."
Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.
Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. "Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world," Adele told i-D." So I live a low-key life for my fans."
【1】What does the text mainly tell us?
A．The popularity of Adele’s album 25.
B．The healing powers of Adele’s music.
C．The secrets of Adele’s success in music.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Adele wasn’t interested in music.
B．Adele wasn’t good at music at first.
C．Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.
D．Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.
【3】Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?
A．To live a low-key life.
B．To win the Grammy Award.
C．To guarantee the quality of her music.
D．To share the secrets of her heart as a musician.
【4】What can we know about Adele?
