When Sabrina Vega was 5 years old, a friend invited her to a party held at a gym where Sabrina discovered that she loved doing gymnastics.

A few nights after the party, Sabrina had a dream．She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream. Jahira said, "Sabrina said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this international competition. At first I did not take her story seriously."

But Sabrina kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira and David decided to pay for Sabrina to learn gymnastics. So Sabrina started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Sabrina got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Sabrina was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of the same age did.

But the family was out of money. Jahira had to tell Sabrina that she could not go. Jahira said, "Tears came to her eyes, and she said, ‘I understand.’"

A week or two later, a rich family came to visit Sabrina's gym unexpectedly. They watched Sabrina train. Then they asked to talk to her mother. The rich family offered Jahira all the money they needed!

The latest Chinese "god song" (an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally(病毒性地) through the Internet) is still stirring up fierce debates between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.  Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award. But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effects it will have on Chinese culture's "going abroad", claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture. The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo's film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon. From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China's major video websites. Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as "musical junk food", Little Apple's popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.

25. The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ______.

A. opposed B. negative C. objective D. critical

26. What does the underlined words “the duo” refer to?

A. Little Apple. B. Chopsticks brothers. C. Zhang Jie. D. American singers.

27. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Little Apple's popularity is also a success of marketing strategyB. Little Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMAC. Little Apple is really popular with all people in ChinaD. Little Apple was originally released as a pop song on the Internet

Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn’t given immediately.

Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limits. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.

It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.

Call for help

Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted（昏迷）. Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you' re in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.

Get the person to a cooler area

If there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well-shaded area.

Get the water flowing

If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.

If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.

Fan the person

Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.

28. When does a person get sunstroke?

A. When the body doesn't function.

B. When proper care is given immediately.

C. When someone is exposed to the sun too long.

D. When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.

29. What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. The first aid for sunstroke. B. The cause of sunstroke.

C. The chie
