24、 How to sing like a superstar is a question people have been asking for ages. We naturally look up to the stars we want to sound like when we're young and just experimenting with singing. But as we get older, we find that we have our own voice.
In my opinion, you can only be a superstar if you find your own voice. If you want to sound great and attract people, just get comfortable with your own voice. Do you think Bob Dylan has a great voice? Of course not, but people love his voice and his songs. One of the main reasons is that he's very comfortable with himself and his own voice. So, remember this when you're asking yourself how to sing like a superstar.
I hate hearing many singers trying to imitate (模仿) other singers! But it still happens all the time and yes, some of them do become famous by trying to sound like others. I just don't feel like I'm listening to real art when I hear these so-called stars trying to imitate someone else with their voice.
Now one thing I like to do is to sing other people's songs in my own voice. Yes, you can practice a great song by an artist you love while you're driving down the road, but practice it in your own voice, not his or her voice. Turn down the volume (音量) a little and hear your own natural voice singing the song and giving it a totally new flavor!
That's exciting and you're being true to yourself. We're supposed to be artists and that means expressing ourselves in a unique way. So if you're asking how to sing like a superstar, remember to just use your own voice.
【1】The author uses Bob Dylan as an example in order to tell us that ________.
A.Bob Dylan is a great singer
B.superstars usually have a great voice
C.a great voice helps to make a great singer
D.we should feel comfortable with our own voice
【2】What advice does the author give on practicing singing?
A.Never singing others' songs.
B.Practicing singing in your car.
C.Singing songs in your own style.
D.Turning off the music while singing.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.Young people tend to imitate the stars they love.
B.It's not real art to sing other people's songs.
C.People love songs sung in a difficult way.
D.The author is a famous singer.

It’s not ______ that most of us are good at.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The rain was coming down so hard that each drop seemed to explode as it hit the roof of the car. Tom strained his eyes and looked out into the coal-black night, struggling hard to keep his car on the road. The windscreen wipers worked roughly to clear the glass, but they were not doing much good. The rain beat down continuously, it was completely dark outside, and the road was deserted except for him and his car.
Tom glanced in his rear-view mirror. He could see his wheelchair in the back seat an quickly looked down at his thin, broken legs. He could feel a familiar wave of despair (绝望) start to wash over him. The rain was still hitting on the roof of the car and he felt as if he had been trapped inside a drum. As the world outside began to close in on him, Tom held his breath. Suddenly, a loud noise shook Tom out of his moment of hopelessness as the car began to bump down the road. “Great,” he thought. “a flat tyre.”
With a heavy sigh, Tom brought the car to a stop, resting his head on the steering wheel defeated! After a few seconds, he looked carefully out of the window. The rain seemed to have eased a little, and in the distance, he could see a light twinkling in the blackness. With a sense of hopeful anticipation, Tom gently eased the car towards the light. As he got closer, he could see a long driveway leading to a solitary house.
When Tom approached the house, a young girl around ten years old was standing in the doorway. He pulled up as close as he could and rolled down the window. “Are your parents at home” he shouted over the wind and rain. “I have a flat tyre and I need help,” Tom added. “Wait a minute,” the girl replied. She turned and went into the house.
