In a room there were four candles buming. The atmosphere was so soft that

you could hear them talking.

The first one said, "I am PEACE,however,nobody can keep me lit.I believe l

will go out. "Its flame rapidly weakens and goes out completely.

The second one says,"l am FAITH.I am no longer essentia.l,so it does not

make any sense that I stay lit any longer.“When it finished talking,a wind softly

blew on it,putting it out.

Sadly,the third candle spoke in its tum* "I am LOVE.I have not got the

strength to stay lit. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They

even forget to love those who are nea.rest to them.”And waiting no longer,it goes

out.

Suddenly a child entered the room and saw three candles not burning,”Why

are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit till the end.”Saying this,the

child began to cry.

Then the fourth candle said,“Don't be afraid. While I am still burning,we

can re-light the other candles.I am HOPE.”With shining eyes,the child took the

candle of Hope and lit the other candles.

Hope never abandons you. Don't follow your fears, but your hopes and

dreams. Don't think about your frustrat/ons,but about your unfulfilled potential.

Don't concern yourseK with what you have tried and failed in,but with what it is

still possible for you to do.

eilf the one ever appeared, anyone else would just be a compromise. But I

don't want to compromise. " This line has become the talk of the town since TV

drama My Sunshin,e was first released on Jan 10.

Many fans follow the series because of all the pretty faces,especially cha:mung

Tiffany Tang3 31, and the attractive PValla.ce Chung,40. However, the show' s

success is al_so due to the tremendous fan base its original Web novel rS//en,t

Separatt:on, has accuruulated since 2003. The novel starteci a craze as soon as writer

Gu Man published the first chapter online.

The story is about two sweethearts that separate and are given a second

chance. Zhao Mosheng and He Yichen fall in love in college but separate due to

misunderstandings. Seven years later,fate connects them together again. They work

hard to clear their misunderstandings and,in the end,become happily mamed.

The TV drama attracts me not only because it stays true to the novel,but also

because it describes rny ideal romance. Whether they admit it or not,every woman

dreams of having a handsome man chase after them exclusively (寺一地). Well,

He Yichen is just that. As one of the top lawyers iri China, he is attractive,

competent,sensible and rich. But after getting mamed,the seemingly cold lawyer

gives Zhao a dream wedding,cooks for her,picks her up after work and protects her

anytime she needs it-almost everything a dream husband should do.

Also,what makes the TV drama stand out among so many series is the love

between the main couple is touching but not unr.ealistic. It is not only a fantasy or a

daydream that takes the audience away but also an experience that can occur in our

daily lives.

My Su.nshine is a success,at least for me. It maintains the beauty of the novel,

adds attractive faces to create a feast ior the eyes,satisfies many girls' fantasies

about love, and most importandy, encourages all of us to seize every available

opport,unity to embrace happiness.

24. The underlined word in paragraph l is closest in meaning to "__".

A. a famous song B. a big hit

C. a popular town D. a debate among people

26. What impresses author most is that .

A. the actor and the actress all have the pretty faces

B.it not only stays true to the novel but also describes an ideal romance

C. it satisfies many girls' fantasies about love

D.it encourages all of us to seize every opportunity to embrace happiness

27. What is the author' s purpose of writing this text?

A. To give the writer' s view on the TV drama.

B. To teach us how to manage a happy mamage.

C. To recommend us to enjoy the TV drama.

D. To tell us a romantic love story.

Astronomers have discovered a new pink planet on the edge of our solai

system.

The small planet-given the, name 2012 VP 113 by scientists-is 80

times further from the Sun than Earth. The newly discovered planet of ice and rock

is 280 miles in diameter(宜径) ancl is in a distant area of the solar system way

beyond Pluto once thought to contain no planets at all.

The object-named " VP" or " Biden" after the US Vice President-is

only the second to be found in a mysterious area at the boundary between the solar

system and outer space called the inner Oort Cloud.

Astronomers now believe there may be thousands of previously unknown

objects orbiting the Sun at this distance. And they believe that the pattern of the

new planet' s orbit suggests it is caused by the gravitational (驯f力 ) l[_)ull of a

"Super Earth" that traces such a large orbit around the Sun that it has never been

seen.

. ' Astronomer Scott Sheppard,who found the new planet with his colleague,

Chad Trujillo, said: "If you took a Super Earth and put it a few hundred

astronomical units out,the gravity could lead this new object into the orbit it has. "

The traditional view of the solar system had been that of nine planets orbiting

the Sun. This was challenged in the 1990s when scientists found Pluto is orbiting in

a band of thousands of icy objects called the Kuiper Belt.

Beyond this belt,only one object, called Sedna,was thought to exist on its

own. But the latest discovery suggests our solar svstem has a number of planets at

its edge.

28. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Astronomers now believe there must be thousands of previously unknown
