Do you like Hip-Hop? Hi-Hop is now very popular in the world. Hip-Hop is a new kind of music. Today, Hip-Hop music is a big business. Hip-Hop artists make millions of dollars. They are superstars and have many fans all over the world. But Hip-Hop wasn't always so popular. It is only about thirty years old. When Hip-Hop music first developed in the late 1970s, not many people knew about it. It was created in the poorest districts of New York City by African American and Latino teenagers as part of a Hip-Hop scene that also produced break dancing(霹雳舞) and graffiti art(涂鸦艺术). Many of these young people were unemployed, but some found work as DJs in discos where they'd ask a friend to act as their MC. The MC would introduce the DJ and encourage everyone to dance and have a good time. Some MCs tried to be more entertaining by talking in time to the beat of the music and using rhymes, and by doing this they invented rapping. Hip-Hop started in New York. Young people in New York wanted to make music, but they had a problem. Many of them did not have enough money to buy expensive instruments. They also did not have any place to practice. Hip-Hop was the perfect answer to this problem, as Hip-Hop artists did not need any special instruments and they could practice anywhere.
Do you like dancing? Do you think dancing is difficult? Breakdancing is a very difficult kind of dancing. People dance to Hip-Hop music. Breakdancers have to be very strong and fast.

Then the people who were watching decided which breakdancer was the best. The winner didn't get any money, but they didn't care. Dancers just wanted to be the best breakdancer on their street.
Today, people break dance all over the world. There are professional breakdancing contests. Winners can get a lot of money, and sometimes they are on TV. Just like Hip-Hop, breakdancing is now a big business.

26、David began studying in Germany two years ago. The college was a little far from where he lived, so he had to take the subway every day. This clever student soon found it was easy to skip buying subway tickets, so he often went and returned without a ticket to save money. As a result, he had been caught with no ticket in subway four times. But he never took them to heart. He thought what he should pay more attention to was his study.
He did work very hard in the last two years and graduated with amazing academic achievements a month ago. Everyone, including himself, thought he would get a good job easily in Germany and had a bright future. He went to a big local company confidently. But to his disappointment, he was not even allowed the chance for an interview. He then went to another famous company, only to receive the same treatment. When he was turned down a third time, he could not help telephoning the company to ask why they didn’t want him. The answer was simple: “We do not offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany!”

27、 Twenty-five years ago, most young people in Britain wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company(电子通信公司), the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger( 视频博主), or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put “vlogger” as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly the result of the Internet and social media(社交媒体). They have made it so much easier to reach audiences worldwide, without having to choose the job as actors in the traditional way.
“In years gone by, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood Studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said. “Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(互动) with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful can achieve fame and wealth. For every success there are a hundred others who have never been known.
This is why although vloggers are in fashion now, some young people chose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.
【1】Which of the following is NOT an easy way of being known by others according to the passage?
A.To be an actor. B.To be a vlogger. C.To be a doctor.
【2】Some young people choose jobs that don’t earn them fame because________.
A.they know success never comes easily
B.they believe being vloggers is their first choice
C.they are not confident
【3】Why are vloggers the big stars of today?
A.Because they are normal people interacting with their fans about big events.
B.Because they are common people communicating with their fans about daily life.
C.Because they never interact with their fans.
【4】What does the underlined word “icon” in this passage mean?
A.偶像 B.图标 C.肖像
【5】From the story, we learn that________.
A.Internet can never be made good use of
B.most young people in Britain today wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singing
C.only those vloggers who get success can be famous and wealthy
