24、If you go to an American middle school on a Wednesday morning, you will hear kids talking about the show of American Idol (美国偶像) that they watched last night. Some have called it the most influential show in the history of television.

he American Idol show has been extremely successful since 2002. The most popular episode had nearly 38 million viewers. But why is the show so popular?

The idea of the show is this: everyday people get a chance to show their singing talent and become an “American Idol”, a famous pop star. Anyone in the country (between the ages of 15 and 28) can try out for a chance at becoming famous.

In fact, common people are the only ones who are allowed on the show. If you are a professional singer, you cannot be on American Idol.

The winners are usually people from small towns – people who sing in churches or bars, but have bigger dreams.

The winners of the contest get the chance to record an album. Famous stars such as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood become famous from winning the show. So, it seems the contest really works.

The idea that anyone can be a star attracts people. All those hours of practicing in front of the mirror could lead to success. Even you could be the next “American Idol”.

【1】On Wednesday morning, US middle school kids often _____.

A. play ball games   B. watch American Idol

C. talk about American Idol   D. perform on TV shows

【5】What does the story mainly tell us?

A. Where US kids spend their spare time.

B. How American Idol was created.

C. How common people become stars.

D. Why American Idol is so popular.

25、Nelson Mandela was regarded as one of the greatest leaders in the world. He died at the age of 95. He became his country’s first black president after 27 years in prison. Do you want to know why he spent so many years in prison? Read more and find more facts.

When Nelson Mandela was a young man, white and black people in South Africa lived separate lives. White people, who were a small part of the population, were in charge of the country. At that time, it was illegal for black people to use the same schools, hospitals, and even beaches as white people. Mandela was lucky. He was one of the few black people in the 1950s of South Africa to receive education and become a successful lawyer.

Nelson Mandela believed that everybody should be treated equally. He joined some different demonstrations to fight against a system called apartheid.

Sometimes the demonstrations turned violent and in 1962 Mandela was sent to a prison which was on Robben Island. But many people around the world campaigned for his release. Songs were written and big concerts were held in protest. Finally in 1990 the South African President FW de Klerk--a white man--allowed him to go free. Mandela had spent 27 years in prison and was greeted as a hero on his release.

26、   Teachers say that the digital(数字) age has had a good influence and a not-so-good influence on American teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in some groups. Most teachers think the Internet and digital search tools have had a mostly positive influence on their students' research habits and skills. But at the same time，some teachers also point out some problems in teenagers' using digital search tools.

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the director of the National Writing Project and a co-writer of the report. She says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. "Both teachers and students really welcome these tools because they make learning exciting. And the goal is to really help students become creators of something meaningful, and not just users of the online information.”

But one problem the survey found is that these technologies make teenagers have short attention spans(持续时间). As there is huge amount of information about different subjects on the Internet, teenagers' attention is easily drawn away from their research.

Another problem the survey found is that many students trust the information they find on the Internet too much. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills to judge the online information. They need to learn a lot to tell if the information is believable. It's something that really has to be paid attention to.

One more problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Many students think "doing research" now means just doing a quick search on Google. Teachers say the result is a drop in the wish and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. That is, they are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.

Many teachers also say that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.

【1】The result of the survey shows   .

A.digital search tools need to be greatly improved

B.digital search tools are generally good for teenagers

C.teenagers have difficulty in using digital search tools

D.American teachers enjoy using digital search tools

【2】Using digital search tools makes teenagers   .

A.less trusting of online information B.more independent in doing research

C.more willing to work hard to find answers D.less able to pay full attention while searching

【3】To do better in research, teenagers should   .

A.spend more time searching online B.ask their teachers for more advice

C.make better use of printed materials D.learn more knowledge of search tools
